Personal interview with the original mage

The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple, born in Xiapu, eastern Fujian, was born in 1965, and his common name was Wang Minghai. He used to be a primary school teacher. The reason why he became a monk was influenced by several factors. Mindong is one of the areas with the largest number of temples and monks in Fujian Province. Where there are mountains, there must be temples, and incense is flourishing. His grandmother is a devout Buddhist. When she was a teenager, she often went to a nearby temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. Under the influence of this atmosphere, he began to yearn for his family's morning bell and evening drum life. As an adult, he became increasingly interested in Buddhism. 1983 After graduating from high school, he was hired to teach in a primary school because of his excellent academic performance, but he did not give up his belief in Buddhism. Especially when he learned that Yangzong Buddhism was founded by Xiapu Zen Master and shaved at Jianshan Temple in Xiapu, he often used his spare time to go to Jianshan Temple to remember this venerable monk.

During the business trip from 65438 to 0984 in Hangzhou, I often went to Lingyin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and met some monks in the temple. One day, a mage in the temple said that Xiaofu Temple in Changshu, Jiangsu Province was going to hold an abbot's ascension ceremony and invited him to attend. Originally, he could not only continue to be a teacher in his hometown, but also take an examination of civil servants. However, after the abbot of Xiaofuji ascended the throne, he insisted on staying and begged the abbot to accept him as a monk. Look at this young man, honest and sincere, devout in Buddhism, and the abbot has the intention of retaining him. But for the sake of prudence, the abbot asked him to write an autobiography and some articles about Buddhism. Because of my profound literary background at school, I have published poems in Song Xin in my hometown Xiapu County and jib in Ningde area. I have a certain foundation in calligraphy and a certain understanding of Buddhism. The article is not only rich in literary talent, but also fluent and fluent, and is also quite familiar with Buddhism. The abbot thinks that he is a rare and good prospect and intends to take root. After writing a letter with the consent of his family, the prison learned that the master had shaved him and named him "Nature", and he began his Buddhist career.

1986, Qixiashan branch of China Buddhist College enrolled students, and Shizi went to apply for the exam under the recommendation of Changshu Buddhist Association, and was admitted. During his school days, he studied Buddhism assiduously and pursued Buddhist knowledge tirelessly. At that time, the dean of the college was appointed as Puchu by the president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and the vice president who presided over the work was Master Mingshan, the current vice president of the Chinese Buddhist Association. His style of indifference to fame and fortune, modesty and kindness, and inculcation has had a far-reaching impact on the interpretation of nature. He always regards his teacher as his role model and is praised by school leaders and teachers. The following year, he and his classmates went to Nanhua Temple in Guangdong Province, the ancestral home of Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, to collect three altars.

Two years later, the native mage completed his studies, and he was admitted to the undergraduate class of China Buddhist College for further study. Master Sheng Hui, the current vice president of Chinese Buddhist Association and honorary president of Fujian Buddhist Association, was one of his teachers at that time. He admired Master Sheng Hui's fairness, impartiality and undivided attention in spreading the personality charm of Buddhism, and always regarded him as his role model. Because of his quiet personality, a pearl will not be buried in the dust, although he concentrates on reading and doesn't like to appear in public. He liked calligraphy when he was in middle school. He wrote very well. Not only did he achieve excellent academic performance, but his calligraphy also emerged, which was highly valued by Zhao Puchu, the president of China Buddhist College. Upon graduation, Dean Zhao Puchu also wrote an inscription "Thanksgiving to all beings", which has always been regarded as the motto by the original master.

After graduation, because the original mage respected the Taoist style and style of study of Guanghua Temple in Putian, Fujian Province, he wanted to teach at Fujian Buddhist College of Guanghua Temple in Putian, but Fujian Buddhist Association hoped that he could stay at the headquarters of Fujian Buddhist Association. During his less than one year's work in Fujian Buddhist Association, he kept in mind the repentance of Dean Zhao Puchu and the school leaders, worked hard, planned and founded Fujian Buddhism magazine, and set up a propaganda group of Fujian Buddhist Association. He personally visited Bamin Buddhist Temple and promoted Buddhism with other members of the mission. ...

1996, Master Mingyun passed the subtle dharma hidden in his right eye to the original master in Yuanming Lecture Hall, with ancestral clothes, beads and magic weapons. The original master was selected as the 42nd generation of Shanmen Buddhism Linjizong and the 48th generation of Cao Dongzong.

During the change of Fujian Buddhist Association from 65438 to 0998, jurist was elected as the vice president and secretary general of Fujian Buddhist Association, and presided over the daily meetings within the Association.
