It is also the true Tantric Sect among the eight sects of Buddhism in China (the eight sects of Buddhism in China were founded in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Tubo was not the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the eight sects of the Tang Dynasty naturally had nothing to do with Tubo. So when it comes to the eight sects, people tend to think that the tantric sects inside are today's Tibetan secrets, but that's all wet.
Your teacher is right, because Konghai, the master of Zongzu Buddhism, is a household name in Japan, and he has exerted a far-reaching influence on Japan in Buddhism, culture, education and art, which can be said to be unparalleled.
PS: Japanese ninjas may not believe in esoteric religion. After esoteric religion was introduced into Japan, a local religion absorbed the development of esoteric religion and practiced Taoism. Most ninjas belong to the path of practice. The founder of Taoism is Beowulf, that is, the founder of Master Harumi Abe.
To understand this, we must know Tommy's history.
The formal introduction of pure esotericism into China began in the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Xuanzong Kaiyuan, three Indian tantric masters, namely Sumitomo Buddha, King Kong Zhi and Bukong, successively came to China to promote the tantric Buddhism, which is the famous "Three Masters of Kaiyuan" in history.
Subhakara simha (A.D. 637-735): Also translated as Jing Shizi, called Fearless Sanzang, is the son of the Buddhist king in the middle Tianzhu Wutu country. After becoming a monk, he met many Bodhisattvas of Dharma (namely Dragon Wisdom Bodhisattva) in Nalantuo Temple and became the fifth ancestor of esoteric Buddhism. Later, according to his teacher's instructions, Sanzang Xubodhi took the scriptures and bypassed Central Asia. He arrived in Chang 'an, Tang Dou in July16 (the fourth year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), and was ordered by the emperor to translate Da Sun Jing in Dafu Temple in Luoyang. The Great Sun Sutra is a fundamental classic of esoteric Buddhism, dictated by Sanzang Xu Bodhi and recorded by disciple Ali. Subhakara simha's ancestors taught tantric methods, which were mainly based on the fetal boundary. It was the beginning of the official mission of China esotericism, so it was also called the ancestor of esotericism in Han Dynasty. Xumituo Buddha was honored as the "leader of the Inner Dojo" by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty because of his vast magical powers and his mastery and contribution to the esoteric classics, and really stood in the front yard of Guanghua Temple in Luoyang after his death. The famous disciples of the Five Ancestors Sumitomo Buddha are Wen Gu, Xuan Chao, Lin Yi, Yan Zhi, Xi fearless, incredible (Silla monk), Daoci (Japanese monk) and so on.
King Kong Zhi (AD 663-73 1): Prince of China and India, 10 became a monk in Nalanduo Temple at the age of 20, and was ordained at the age of 20, extensively practicing Mahayana sutra theory. At the age of 31, he was taught by the Dragon Wisdom Bodhisattva in South India and supported by others for seven years. He learned all the esoteric religions and was inherited by King Kong. He was the fifth ancestor of esoteric religions. Prince Xun You went to Lengga Mountain and heard that Buddhism was popular in China. In the seventh year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (7 19), he went to Guangzhou by sea via Ceylon and Sumatra, and arrived in Du Dong the following year. He went to Ji 'en Temple in Chang 'an, found Jianfu Temple where he lived, set up a big Datura, filled the Buddha's head with a big secret method, and translated the secret scriptures, including King Kong Ding. Later, he died in Guangfu Temple in Luoyang, and was crowned as a Buddhist master and a great monk in Hong Men. The body of King Kong was also the ancestor of esoteric religion in Han Dynasty. Men and women are true, a line, Hui Chao, Yi Fu, round photos and so on.
Bukong (AD 705-774): He was also a Bukong student of South Indians. He is very talented and smart. When he was young, he followed his uncle to the South China Sea countries and then became a monk. At the age of fourteen, he learned Daodan Zhang from Vajrayana and recited Sanskrit, which was highly valued by Sanzang. He achieved five three-secret methods. And Sanzang, the fifth ancestor of King Kong, showed his silence and went to India to seek dharma. He received 100,000 praises, five empathies, mantras and more than 500 Buddhist scriptures from the Bodhisattva Longzhi, and awarded them to Mudra, who had the same meaning and meaning. He also sent five missions to India, and returned to Beijing in the fifth year of Tianbao (746), giving Xuanzong the title of "Zhizang Buddhist". Sanzang translated another basic classic of Tommy, King Kong Ding Jing. Later, an imperial edict lived in Daxingshan Temple. During the six years from Tianbao to Dali, the Secret Ministry was translated, with 77 volumes, 120 volumes, which was the peak of the Secret Ministry. In the past, the teachings of King Kong Zhi and the two ancestors who were not empty were mainly based on the secret law (wisdom) of King Kong. Later, Sumitomo Buddha and King Kong Zhi taught each other in two golden fetuses, and taught two kinds of Buddhism to the ancestors who were not empty in different paragraphs. Six ancestors combined with two methods, that is, "two parts and one set". This is the most prominent feature of Tommy, which is different from the "two biographies" of Indian Tantric Buddhism in the past. The founder mainly lived in Daxing Temple in Xi City in his later period, and served as a national teacher for three generations. He is also one of the four great translators in China. He established a strict phonological control mechanism between Sanskrit and Chinese characters to explain the true meaning of the mantra to his disciples.
The ancestors who are not empty have many believers. Among them, Jingu Temple Hanguang, Silla Huichao, Huiguo Zhenglonger, Chongfu Temple Huilong, Baoshou Temple Jiao Yuan and Juechao are prominent, and they are called "Six Philosophers".
Huiguo (746 ~ 805) was a monk in the Tang Dynasty. In Jingzhaofu (Shaanxi) county, there is a common surname Ma. The world knows that Qinglong Akeli is paid by esoteric religion.
The seventh ancestor of law. When I was a child, I studied classical literature from Tan Zhen. At the age of seventeen, he entered the inner Dojo with Tan Zhen and was superior. So he appreciated Sanzang and spread his three secrets. At the age of twenty, he officially became a monk and received an anklet. After studying the idea of Xuanchao, a disciple of Sumitomo Buddha, and Su's various methods, he never accepted the secret methods of the diamond world, and combined them to establish the idea of "golden pregnancy is not limited". Since then, he should often be called to the Inner Dojo to practice dharma for Daizong and Princess, and later become a Buddhist master in the East Tower of Qinglong Temple, so he is also called Qinglong Monk. He has served as the national teacher of Daizong, Dezong and Shunzong, and is highly respected. Shi spared no effort to expose the secrets inside and outside the group after enlightenment. Thousands of people often come from all directions. Many people who went to the Tang Dynasty to seek dharma were taught by tantric teachings. They once taught the Dharma to Japanese monks such as Konghai, Silla Monk and Wuzhen, and introduced this case to Japan and Silla. Yong Zhenyuan was silent during his years, and he lived for sixty years. Feng inscription. He is the author of Eighteen Seal, Initiation Ceremony of Yalong Pear Tancheng, Tathagata Sword Seal, King Kong Realm and the Name of King Kong. Among them, what Yin Qi said in the 18th is the fundamental form of tantric practice, which is one of the important works of tantric practice.
Konghai (774 ~ 835), with the same surname as Saeki, was called "King Kong" and posthumous title was a "master of Chinese studies". A native of Todo Prefecture (now Shan Tong Temple City, Kagawa Prefecture), Sapporo City, Japan, his father Saeki Naoda and his mother Adao. /kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, he studied The Analects of Confucius and The Book of Filial Piety with his uncle. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, he entered the Mingjing Department of Pingan University (now Beijing Metropolitan) to study Confucian classics such as The Book of Songs, The Book of Songs and Zuo Zhuan. At the same time, he happened to meet a Samana, who taught him to read "The Empty Tibetan Bodhisattva can win the hearts of all people, and Dalagni asks for the dharma" translated by Samamitabha, so he turned to Buddhism and went to the four countries. In 795, he was given a sufficient precept in Toda Temple in Nara, and his dharma name was empty. Before entering the Tang Dynasty, he had written works such as Deaf Gui Zhi and Gui Zhi of Three Religions, which showed profound Chinese cultural accomplishment.
In order to better understand the teachings of Buddhism spread in the Han Dynasty, on July 6th, the 23rd year of Emperor Kanmu Li Yan (804), as a learned monk, Zu 111, who was sent to the Tang Dynasty for the 16th time, set out from the fat country of Pu Tian (now Nagasaki) and went to the Tang Dynasty to seek dharma. At that time, the age of Konghai was 365,438+0 years old. He was on the first boat, and the oldest was 38 years old. He's on the second boat. Due to a storm on the way, the first boat drifted to Fuzhou, the second boat drifted to Mingzhou (now Ningbo), the first Mifune returned to Kyushu, and the fourth boat was missing. The following year, Konghai arrived in Chang 'an from Fuzhou.
During my stay in Chang 'an, I first lived in Ximing Temple. Later, he visited monks in various temples, learned Huayan Sutra from Prajna Sutra and Muni Sutra in Liquan Temple, and studied Siddhartha Sanskrit with Tan Zhen. The following year, in the East Tower Academy of Shenglong Temple, she was conceived by Datura Buddhism in Huiguo, Tibet and King Kong, enlightened by Faeli, and was named "King Kong", gaining the reputation of authentic secret biography and the identity of spreading Buddhism to later generations. After Huiguo's death, Konghai, as an orthodox school, wrote an inscription for Huiguo at the order of Tang Xianzong.
After Master Kong Hai returned to China in the first year of Datong (806), he built an altar in front of Gao Xiongshan Temple (in the first year of Hong Ren, 8 10) and initiated initiation, and established Xinyang School's fundamental Dojo in Gao Yanei (in the seventh year of Hong Ren). Later, it was given the East Hall (that is, the Hall to Teach the King to Protect the Country), and the Infatuation Dojo was established (in the 14th year of Hong Ren), so it was also called the East Secret School.
The so-called eastern dense, because the Buddhist master Kong Hai originally took the East Temple in Kyoto as the Buddhist center, so the history said that the eastern temple dense religion he preached was commonly known as eastern dense religion. So Dongmi is not because Japan introduced Japan. This must be made clear. Dongmi refers to the secret religion of Dongsi, and the official name of this Sect is Yan array religion.
This year coincides with the 200th anniversary of Koya Mountain/KLOC-0 initiated by Master Kong Hai. Tommy has been circulating in Japan for 1200 years, and his voice is endless. Alas, I lost it in China. Hui Guo Ayali told Konghai a long time ago: I think this method will be exhausted in the kingdom of Sinian, and you have these two big mandalas and 100 mantras in your hand. Please go back to Japan, spread the world and increase prosperity. ...
Konghai, a Japanese monk, went to Chang 'an to study with the Tang 17 mission, and extensively dabbled in Tantric literature, China literature, philology and calligraphy. After returning to China, he founded the Japanese Buddhist mantra "Dongmi", which lasted for a long time. Kong's calligraphy and Sanskrit contributed to the creation of Hiragana in Japan. During the Tang Dynasty, Konghai studied calligraphy from Han Dynasty. Its font imitated Yan Zhenqing style and absorbed the essence of its running script. After polishing and tempering, it became a family of its own. It was quite wonderful in cursive script, and it was as famous as Yi Emperor and Orange, and was known as the "three sages of books" in Japanese history. In 820 AD, Konghai wrote a six-volume book "On the Chamber of Secrets in the Mirror", which was regarded by later generations as a guide to Japanese Chinese poetry creation, and played an inestimable role in popularizing the prosody knowledge of Dongtu Chinese poetry and improving its creative level. In 828 A.D., in order to practice Confucius' theory of "teaching without distinction", Konghai founded the first national public school in Japan-Baibianzhi College. It is different from the private school of aristocratic children and official school. It is a comprehensive national education institution regardless of class. The contribution of the air sea to the cultural exchange between China and Japan is unprecedented, just as the Qing Dynasty &; #58394; However, when the master entered the Tang Dynasty, he fulfilled his beautiful wishes for his mother. As the article said, "Those who entered the Tang Dynasty to seek Buddhism, those who taught Buddhism themselves, and those who preached on the rooftop (the clearest) are all powerful people, and they are willing to be tools for generations."
Although Konghai is good at cursive writing, many Chinese and Japanese scholars believe that his greatest contribution is "creating Hiragana according to Chinese characters". "It's all flat, and the words are fake cursive scripts of Chinese characters. Japanese pseudonyms do come from cursive scripts of Chinese characters, but whether they are "made out of thin air" needs further research. However, he lived in a time when Hiragana was formed. Whether it is the "initial creation" or something in the process of evolution, it is certain that Master Kong Hai has made contributions to the creation of his own national characters. In other words, today's Japan can be said that there would be no Japanese characters today without sea and air masters.
Konghai is also a talented writer, but his fame in Buddhism and calligraphy overshadowed his literary achievements. At first, during Xie 'e's reign (809-823), the whole country was singing tang style's praises. As a famous poet and calligrapher, Xie Chen advocated "writing classics" and ordered Xiao Ye Censhou and Dongsi to compile two collections of China's poems, Ling (8 14) and Wenhuamei Collection (8 18). Later, He Chun (reigned from 823 to 833) ascended the throne and ordered Liang Cenanshi and others to compile 20 volumes (827) of Guo Jingji, a collection of China's poems and essays. With his poetic skills, the master Kong Hai can win the favor of two emperors and make friends with many literati such as Xiao Ye Censhou. Today, there are 10 volumes of Han poetry and prose master Kong Hai, which has been handed down from generation to generation. Because his poems and compositions are not drafted, they are abandoned when they are written. He is really helpful and often waits on him. He is very worried that Gui Lan will overwhelm Qiu Ai, and his teacher's style will not be passed on to future generations. He collects master manuscripts at any time and compiles them into 10 volume. The writing time of this book is unknown. One said it was completed in the later years of Konghai, and the other said it was completed when the master died in 835. But I don't know when, 8 volumes, 9 volumes and 10 volumes were all lost. Ji Xian (1025 ~115) sorted out the lost articles in the first half of the winter of the third calendar year (1075), compiled them into three volumes, and restored the number of10 volumes.
There are 1 13 empty sea works in Ling Xing Ji, which started in 804 and ended in 834, including poems, inscriptions, wishes, etc., covering many aspects such as politics, economy, society, culture and religion in Japan's early Heian period. In the Tang Dynasty, Konghai wrote eight inscriptions for returning to China, including "Ambassadors in Fuzhou", "Rattan Ambassadors" and "Prince of Bohai Sea". , but also in the Collection of Nature and Spirit (Volume V). These are of great historical value for studying the cultural exchanges between ancient Japan and Datang and Korea.
In the history of Japanese literature, Ling Xing Ji has always been regarded as a treasure in China's poetry, and a large number of versions or manuscripts have been handed down from generation to generation. His disciple's original work wrote in the preface to "Collecting Soul Record" that the master "either lies in the smoke and screams alone and recites at will; Or ask for a gift from heaven, and it will come naturally. Such as "Mu Shixian": "The mountain wind is easy to rise, and the deep sea is unpredictable"; I also swam through the Shenquan:' The high platform is not human, and the pool is full of sunshine', which is more impressive than competition propaganda, temperament and elegance. " 2 1 & amp； #57346; The manuscript "Personal Notes Collected by the Soul" is now stored in Keya Mountain, the Sambo Courtyard, and is also called the work of a master. It means "high sense of rhythm, well-prepared bones and bodies, extraordinary and refined". In addition, in the fourth volume of Soul Collection, there is a last word for the princess in The Wine Man, which shows that the relationship between the master Kong Hai and the royal family is extraordinary, and even personal affairs are entrusted to the master. There is also the article "Enlightening Officials for the People", which is written sincerely and earnestly, and makes every effort to ghostwrite, from which we can get a glimpse of the master's daily life and his steadfast and helpful character.
Master Kong Hai is also an outstanding poet and poetry critic. He wrote the first 20 volumes of Guo Jingji, a collection of China's poems and essays. Only the existing six volumes contain seven of his poems, and there are even six volumes of Poetics, which are remembered by the Chinese and Japanese people. "Banjiang Leisure Pen" wrote: "There was no book devoted to poetry for a long time in the Tang Dynasty, and its number was recorded, just like the morning star. Alone in Datong, studying under the Tang Dynasty, I came back with books such as Cui Rong's New Poetic Style, Wang Changling's Poetic Style, jing yuan's Brain and Jiao Ran's Poetic Theory. His later works, about Wen Jing's secret residence, are all in it.
Master Kong Hai collected opinions from various schools, and made extensive and in-depth studies on the format, rhythm and rhetoric of The Poem in combination with his own literary theories, such as the combination of sounds and characters, and the solemn edition of five wisdom, in view of the problems such as "tune", "eight rhymes", "six meanings", "twenty-nine pairs" and "ten diseases in writing". It should be said that the creation of China's poems is enduring in Japan, and the master Kong Hai's On the Chamber of Secrets in the Mirror has played a certain catalytic and guiding role. & amp#57348;
Among the many achievements of Master Kong Hai, there is one thing that cannot be ignored, that is, his pioneering work in the exchange of Chinese and Japanese characters. The master once studied Sanskrit with monk Tan Zhen in Datang. Tan Zhen also lives in Qingliu Temple. She is a disciple of Master Huiguo. Konghai later wrote a book, Sidan Sanskrit Interpretation, which created conditions for Sanskrit to spread to Japan.
Today, only the Shinkansen in Japan has preserved and carried forward the Sanskrit of ancient Siddhartha, and even the Indians have lost it. This Sanskrit of Siddhartha in ancient times was used in the original Sanskrit of Xuanzang Buddhist scriptures in the past. If master Kong Hai hadn't spread it to Japan, I'm afraid it would have been extinct long ago. Now Siddhartha's study of Sanskrit in Japan is not limited to Buddhism, but even found in many Japanese film and television works. Sanskrit often appears in animation works. Many universities have special courses, all of which are the contributions of sea and air masters.
In the seventh year of Tianchang (830), about 65,438+0,000 words were selected from the jade films written by Liang Guye Wang, and the titles were arranged with official script, and the titles were crowned with official script, and the names of official scripts (also known as official scripts) were written in 30 volumes, which became the earliest existing Chinese dictionary in Japan. He also wrote 1 volume "Sound, Character, Reality and Meaning", trying to explain and discuss the essence of language and writing from the perspective of esoteric religion, and became the first philosophical language book in Japan.
Of course, the greatest contribution of this master is to inherit the pure esoteric teachings of the Han Dynasty, which makes Tommy carry forward in Japan.
In history, the number of emperors or princes who became monks to study tantric Buddhism has reached at least 30 generations, and their influence can be imagined.
The first emperor who became a monk to study tantric Buddhism was Yuduodi, an apprentice of Master Kong Hai and his apprentice. Yes, Emperor Uto is the fifth, that's right.
In a word, the masters of Buddhism and tantra are really emerging here. If you are interested, you can learn about the deeds of Master Kong Hai or Koyasan.
