Also called: Bodhisattva, risking the ground to bind, or helping to scatter. Free translation: All sentient beings, all sentient beings, all sentient beings, all sentient beings. It means a person who seeks enlightenment, a big mind who seeks enlightenment. Bodhi, meaning enlightenment, wisdom and Tao; Sachan, sentient beings, sentient beings. Add sound and smell and a sense of edge, and it's called three times. It is also one of the top ten realms. In other words, the practitioner who seeks supreme bodhi intellectually will turn all beings into sentient beings through grief, practice paramita and achieve Buddha's fruit in the future. In addition, because the Bodhisattva is the heir to the Buddha's throne, it is also called "Prince of France", transliterated as "Dharma Frodo" and translated as "Innocence".
The four buddhas in Buddhism refer to Manjusri Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Earth-stored Bodhisattva.
Manjusri Bodhisattva represents wisdom, and Manjusri Bodhisattva is also called Manjusri, Manjusri and King of France.

Huaying Dojo is Mount Putuo in Zhejiang.

3. China's Four Great Bodhisattvas Guanyin Bodhisattva Manjusri Bodhisattva Tibetan Bodhisattva Puxian Bodhisattva
Guanyin bodhisattva:
When people are alive, they often suffer from natural and man-made disasters. When water, fire, knives, soldiers, illness and loneliness are mercilessly violated, people cry for survival and pray for life. This has always been the same. Guanyin is always observing and listening carefully and deeply, looking for the cry for help of all the sufferings in the world. Men, women and children all over the world, at the critical moment of disaster, as long as they sincerely call for the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva and ask for help, Guanyin Bodhisattva will observe your suffering in real time, hear your cry for help, and rescue you from your suffering with fearless spirit and appropriate incarnation. As Hokkekyo and Pumenpin said, "You should say that you are yourself and you are yourself." . Therefore, the meaning of Guanyin Bodhisattva is to be merciful and compassionate, to follow the sound to save the suffering, and to be everywhere.
Manjusri Bodhisattva:
Manjusri Bodhisattva is short for Manjusri Bodhisattva. As for the origin of Manjusri, a popular saying is that in Manjusri Nirvana Sutra, he was a great disciple of Sakyamuni, originally the son of an aristocratic Brahmin family in Swat (present-day northwest India), and left home to learn from Sakyamuni, and his merits were complete, so he became a bodhisattva and was honored as the head of the bodhisattva. Manjusri Bodhisattva is known as the "great wisdom" among the four Bodhisattvas, and is often juxtaposed with Pu Xian, the right-hander on both sides of the Buddha. One Buddha and two Bodhisattvas are collectively called "Hua Yan San Xian", Manjusri Bodhisattva is on the left side of Buddha, specializing in intelligence, and Bodhisattva is on the right side of Buddha, managing affairs.
Bodhisattva samantabhadra:
Sanskrit Pu Xian transliteration: Samando bhadra, or Pu Xian, bungee jumping. Bodhisattva, a symbol of Buddha's virtue, Manjusri Bodhisattva is opposite in wisdom and virtue. As the right-hand man of Buddha Sakyamuni. Together with Buddha and Manjusri Bodhisattva, it is called Hua Yan Sansheng. One of the four Buddhists in China. Most of its statues ride on the six-toothed white elephant, which represents the great compassion of Buddhism. The Dojo of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is on Mount Emei in Sichuan.
65,438+0,500 years after the extinction of the Buddha, the Bodhisattva Diksitigarbha descended to the Wangs' home in Silla. His surname was Jin Qiaojue, and his body was magnificent and his bones were strange. He said: "The six books are in the world, and the first meaning is consistent with the square inch." Tang Gaozong was in Yonghui for four years, and Jin Qiaojue was born at the age of 24. He crossed the ocean and entered the Tang Dynasty. Jin Qiaojue, a Tibetan Bodhisattva, went to Jiuhua Mountain in Chizhou, south of the Yangtze River, enjoyed the scenery, found a cave in the mountain and practiced in seclusion. When the Bodhisattva was practicing penance, she was bitten by a poisonous snake and stood still. Suddenly, a woman appeared and gave Yaoyun a gift: children are ignorant and would like to make up for it in spring. This woman is really the god of Jiuhua Mountain. Jin Qiaojue, a Tibetan Bodhisattva, asked the local gentleman to surrender, and proposed a local cassock for permission. Unexpectedly, the cassock of the Bodhisattva is displayed everywhere in Jiuhua Mountain. Seeing its magic, Gong Min gave Jiuhua the Bodhisattva Dojo, and the two became monks to accompany the Bodhisattva. Today, there are icons hidden underground. The waiters are Gong Min and his son Ming Dow. The old Zhuge Festival in the local township led a group of old people to climb the Range Rover. When they saw the Bodhisattva living alone in the stone room, cooking mud and a small amount of rice with a broken tripod, they marveled: The Bodhisattva is so ascetic, we still can't worship properly. So he raised money to build a temple and asked the Bodhisattva to live a peaceful life. Monks in Silla learned that Bodhisattva was different in Jiuhua, and led many people across the sea to seek Dharma. In the 26th year of Tang Kaiyuan (19th year of Tang Zhenyuan), on the night of July 30th, the Bodhisattva called his disciples to say goodbye to show his silence. At that time, rocks rang, bells hissed, birds whined and died at the age of 99. In the second year of Tang Zhide, monks built a tower in Nantai to worship. After the pagoda is completed, it often shines like fire, hence the name Nantai Shenguangling. For more than 1,200 years, the Tibetan Bodhisattva has been buried in Jiuhua, and pilgrims have come in droves. There is no virtual day, and incense is everywhere.
4. What are the Four Bodhisattvas? The four great bodhisattvas represent the four fundamentals of Buddhism.
1. Manjusri Bodhisattva: Although there are many images of Bodhisattvas, there are also many names of Bodhisattvas, the most important of which are the Four Bodhisattvas. We should know that the scriptures tell us that the Tathagata of the ten directions and three realms all learn successfully according to these three methods. The first is wisdom, represented by Manjusri Bodhisattva. Manjusri is wisdom first, and you can accomplish nothing without seeking wisdom.
Second, the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva
The second is Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin is a sad head, with great compassion and compassion, and is sincerely willing to help all sentient beings. Avalokitesvara shows thousands of hands and eyes. We call it Avalokitesvara, and many people are familiar with it. Let me ask you again, Manjushri, have you seen it? Have you ever seen Pu Xian, the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva? Rarely seen. I tell you, every bodhisattva has thousands of hands and eyes. What does it stand for? On behalf of ourselves. Thousands of hands and thousands of eyes stand for hand to eye, and all beings in the ten-square world will immediately help wherever there is suffering, indicating that the eyes are in front of us, omnipresent and omnipotent. A thousand hands and a thousand eyes represent omnipotence, omnipotence, and the eyes are within reach. In this sense, this is really called compassion.
Third, the great samantabhadra bodhisattva
The third is the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is the head of the line, that is, it has really been done and fully implemented. Therefore, among all bodhisattvas, these three bodhisattvas are the most important. Among all bodhisattvas, these three are leaders and leaders. From this, you will know that Manjusri Bodhisattva represents our wisdom, and we need wisdom; Guanyin bodhisattva represents us to cultivate compassion; I must really do what Bodhisattva Samantabhadra represents, and I must put wisdom and compassion into practice in my life. This is Pu Xian.
Fourth, the great wish for the Tibetan king and bodhisattva
In China, Buddhism is based on the Four Bodhisattvas. The Four Bodhisattvas represent the foundation of Buddhism in China and the four pillars of Buddhism in China. What does the Tibetan Bodhisattva stand for? Show filial piety. Because Buddhism is a teacher's way, and the teacher's way must be based on filial piety, and the Tibetan Bodhisattva represents filial piety, so the scriptures of Tibetan Bodhisattva are Buddhist filial piety. Where do we learn Buddhism? Start with Tibetan studies. What is land? Metaphor of the earth. All our sentient beings were born in this land. Without this land, we can't live. Our life depends on and lives in this land. Everything we eat, wear and use grows from the ground. Plants grow from the ground, so do minerals. How can you leave the ground? Without land, we can't live. So the Buddha used "land" to express our hearts. This land has unlimited wealth and can produce many resources to meet our needs. The Buddha used this to compare our hearts. We have infinite wisdom, infinite virtue and infinite talent in our hearts, which support our law, body and wisdom and hide this meaning. What is the treasure of the heart to be developed? It's useless without development. You must know how to develop it. With what development? With filial piety. You should know that filial piety is a sexual virtue and an inherent virtue in nature. Therefore, filial piety and respect for teachers are the only tools to develop self-nature.
Even more, the Tibetan Bodhisattva made a big wish: hell is not empty and vows not to become a Buddha, and all beings will prove Bodhi. May he save all beings, especially those who have lived in hell for a long time. Moreover, when the Buddha became extinct, he gave the burden of saving all living beings to the Tibetan Bodhisattva.
5. Who are the four great bodhisattvas in China? China Buddhism has four famous mountains in China, which is the Dojo for the four bodhisattvas to educate all beings and represents the characteristics of Buddhism in China.
Guanyin Bodhisattva in Tuoshan stands for compassion (love), Dizang Bodhisattva in Jiuhua Mountain stands for great wish (filial piety), Manjusri Bodhisattva in Wutai Mountain stands for great wisdom (reason), and Emei Mountain stands for great achievement (action). Therefore, these four Buddhists have a very lofty position in the Buddhist circles in China. Even if it is not in these four famous mountains, it will be enshrined in a larger Dojo. The Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva is not only a Buddhist, but also known to ordinary people. It is also the most famous, influential and popular bodhisattva in general folk beliefs.
In the Tang Dynasty in China, in order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Taizong, the word "teacher" was omitted and it became a habit to call it Guanyin Bodhisattva, so now the world often calls it Guanyin Bodhisattva. After the Tang Dynasty, Guanyin Bodhisattva was often painted as a female image, just like a loving mother, to show Guanyin Bodhisattva's compassion.
I hope to express Bodhisattva's compassion for all sentient beings with maternal love. Therefore, there is no distinction between men and women in Bodhisattva, just for the humanity of all beings. Therefore, in many stories of Guanyin Bodhisattva's induction, the bodhisattva is mostly female, which is the induction of all beings praying for selfless love, the symbol of Guanyin Bodhisattva's love, and the reason why Guanyin Bodhisattva is mostly female.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is merciful, and really can't bear the suffering of all beings. She never forgets to pull out pain for all beings and give them happiness. The scripture says,' A good man and a good woman in the world must be free from life if they are in trouble and fear.' All beings are suffering, the so-called three sufferings, eight sufferings, infinite sufferings, and more sufferings are suffering. They hope to get a kind of assistance and guidance without any additional conditions, and the Bodhisattva has won the belief and respect for the "universal world view" with its equal, universal and extensive love.
In the Shurangama Sutra, Guanyin Bodhisattva was praised by Manjusri Bodhisattva as the first of the twenty-five round senses, because' this shore is really religious and has a clean voice'. All beings in the Buddhist world have very keen ears, and it is easy to believe when they hear Buddhism or recite Brahma.
In the fifty-three quotations of the lucky boy in Hua Yan Jing. Entering the dharma world, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the twentieth good knowledge visited by auspicious boy. He made a fortune to fill the residence of Bodhisattva Luojiashan, and Bodhisattva Guanyin explained' Great Compassion and Dharma Practice' for him. While "Pumenpin" by Hokkekyo Avalokitesvara describes that Avalokitesvara relieves all kinds of sufferings for all beings anytime and anywhere.
Anyone who is in danger will say the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva will immediately listen to her voice and go to the rescue. According to the statement in the Fifty-three Fingers of Hua Yan Jing that a rich boy went to Luojia Mountain in Bufu to visit Guanyin Bodhisattva, China people thought that this was the residence of Guanyin Bodhisattva in China, and named it Putuo Mountain in combination with the many inductive deeds of the East Zhoushan Islands Bodhisattva in Dinghai County, Zhejiang Province.
Down the road, Putuo Mountain became a sacred place for believers to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. According to the same allusion, there is an image of' the boy worships Guanyin'.
Others regard the boy who is good at money and the dragon girl in the Big Dipper as the left and right assistants of Guanyin Bodhisattva. At present, the most common Guanyin statue with thousands of hands and eyes, with thousands of hands representing magical powers and thousands of eyes representing wisdom, shows that the eyes of the Bodhisattva are right in front of us and have the ability to rescue at any time and place in response to the feelings of all beings.
Avalokitesvara's compassion is sincere and rational love, treating all sentient beings as their own children and caring with love and wisdom, which is the representative of the coexistence of sadness and wisdom.
