The three most famous pure lands in Buddhism

There are three pure land religions in China:

The first is the master system of Lushan Hui Yuan.

The second is a broad-minded and good guidance system.

The third is the system of taking care of Sanzang.

Lushan Huiyuan system

According to samadhi method, he died when he saw Buddha; Hui Yuan's teacher is Daoan, and Daoan's teacher is Fotucheng. This is the first biography of Pure Land Sect in China, which was introduced to China in 3 10.

The teacher of good guidance is Tao Zhuo, Tao.

Chuo's teacher is Tanluan, whose teachings come from the Bodhi school. This is the second biography. He came to China in 508. Tanluan, Daochuo, Shandao and other masters all advocate going to the pure land of life, and the lead singer can go to life and cannot be connected by the original heart of the Tathagata.

Please see the theories of these teachers for detailed theories.

Tzu Chi Sanzang returned to Japan 748 years ago. He traveled to India 18 years, where he was personally taught by Sanzang. This is the third biography. His lead singer is the idea of teaching purity, Zen purity and abstinence from purity, which has been inherited by great virtues in past dynasties. Yanshou, Hong Chu, Pu Zhao, Fazhao, Yuanzhao and Xu Zhi are all great virtues of this system.

China Pure Land Sect has three systems: Lushan Mountain Stream, Good Guidance and Compassion Stream. What are the characteristics of the spread of these three streams, that is, what are their respective contents and tendencies?

about networks

There are many main topics of indigenous religion, such as: confidence, Buddhist view, Buddhist thought, past lives, pure land, practicing Buddhism, outlook on life and so on. , are the objects to be studied, but

The detailed study of these problems belongs to pure land neo-Confucianism, not the exquisite object of this paper. Now, only by understanding the respective tendencies of the three major ministries can we understand the development characteristics of the history of Pure Land Sect.

Huiyuan first Lushan mountain

The pure land and the historical relics of this system are extremely vivid, and the works are also circulated. Various Buddhist associations also occupied a considerable position in the society at that time. There are many elegant people, and the famous style of Hui Yuan generation has put forward many doors.

Acts, this kind of influence is quite a lot; However, the objects of education in Hui Yuan are all scholars or hermits. The teaching attitude of this department aims at understanding knowledge and meaning.

The concept of pure land in this department is to turn Amitabha into pure land.

As a native, the place where ordinary people die is a pure land (pure land), and there is no way to reach the pure land and the real pure land, because there is a concept that pure land is karma, so the teaching of this school is common sense.

Sexist school. Therefore, scholars in the knowledge-only system in later generations all regard the pure land of Amitabha as a convenient "theory of different times and different meanings", and the pure land views of Sanlun, Tiantai, Huayan and Knowledge-only departments all have this view and have theoretical basis.

The natural conclusion of expansion.

However, religion must have a religious direction, and religion must be civilian and transcendental in order to have its own characteristics. The concept of pure land handed down by Hui Yuan is only a theoretical breakthrough, which can understand faith.

The wisdom of the Buddha is based on "great compassion" and the truth is solid. However, the fundamental position of good religion is based on "Buddha's original wish", and "the theory of the origin of strong wish" is the fundamental world of pure land religion.

From the perspective of the world, the pure land of Amitabha Buddha is a solemn place established by the Buddha's original wish, and it is a tribute to the soil, not the soil that should be transformed. This "invariance theory" profoundly refutes the lineup of various theorists such as elite, Tiantai and Jiaxiang, and is good at guiding and saying "because of behavior"

If it is not empty, it will lead to fruit, and the fruit should be caused, so it is called "reporting". Amitabha is this qualified person; Therefore, it is reported to the Buddha. The place where the Buddha lives should be reported to the soil, and ordinary people can also report the soil.

Never.

Teacher, the sentence was low-key, and even ordinary people were not allowed to die twice, right? Although I promised to report the soil, I only knew the points of notification and didn't know the reasons for not reporting it. The principle of establishing pure land is based on the word "willing to reach". What is the essence of pure land? Precisely

As the saying goes, "soil is nirvana, and its evidence is inaction." A series of good thoughts, such as the evil view of life, the theory of returning ordinary people to the soil, and the theory of mutual reference, have laid the characteristics of pure land education. As soon as this idea came out, everyone returned to the soil.

I hope that people in the society will actively promote and popularize the temple religion with distant mountains to the religion of social reality, and everyone can get rid of reality, so that the true colors of Pure Land Sect can be brought into play.

this

The popularity of pure land Sect guided by personal kindness has given birth to many benefits of life, such as the world outlook of enduring suffering, creating a bright world outlook, the world outlook of retribution and so on, which are unique to the spiritual life of life.

Great contribution, people's spiritual life, so you can get endless stability, which is the great contribution of Pure Land Sect to national history. So now it can be said that the legal interests of Pure Land Religion in Hui Yuan are absorbed from the roots.

(Upper class), the legal interests of the well-distributed pure land Sect are the following universal (civilian) teachings: the pure land Sect with comprehensive upper and lower roots is a pure land Sect with Zen and purity, which is suitable for the middle roots.

place

Pure land Sect is three common religions in history, and the historical evolution can prove this. Huiyuan's legal interests flow in the upper level, good diversion's legal interests flow in the lower level, and good legal interests flow in the middle level. These three universal historical views.

This is my opinion, but it is only a general view. Of the three streams, there are three common ones in each stream. Pure land teaching is originally three common, but each stream has its own special play, its own suitability and

Characteristics of useful results. This feature is the historical view of three streams and three roots mentioned above. We should elaborate more on the issue of pure land and the issue of teaching pure land with kindness, but paper is not allowed and the latter should be allowed.

Opportunity, just talk. Last but not least, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, Buddhism fell out of power, and only the two major schools of Buddhism, Zen and Jing, continued to flourish. The first-class Pure Land Sect developed between these two schools of Buddhism, so there was a compromise.

Arrive; This system was influenced by the potential "undercurrent" of the ideological circle at that time, so it was eclectic. It can be said that it is the most suitable for the middle stream, and it can also be said that it is the first two lines of Aufheben.

Say, time is running out, let's call it a day!
