192 1 year-old,1year-old, entered a private school. After studying hard for four years, I dropped out of school and followed my parents to repair the ferry in Gongan County, Hubei Province to make a living.
1925 14 years old, left the laity, became a monk in a temple in Xinkou Town, Gongan County, and was forcibly expelled by his parents. After that, the family moved to Hubei Public Security County, abandoning water transportation for agriculture.
193 1 year-old, 20 years old, bought a boat by himself, and did water retail business with his father, traveling between Hengyang and Hankou, Hubei.
At the age of 25, 1936 converted to the old monk Kagami Akira, a famous Taoist, at Lion Mountain in Nanyue, Hengyang City, and became a layman, studying Buddhism on weekdays.
1942 3 1 year-old, opened Hengxingyuan pot porcelain south goods store in Zhakou town.
At the age of 33, 1944, my family died of lung disease, and then my mother was critically ill. She holds the great compassion mantra day and night, which makes a glass of clear water become a milky solid and cannot be poured out. Although the induction is extraordinary, it is not worth the impermanence of life. My mother is still dead.
1945 34 years old, his father died. My heart is broken, and I don't care about the world anymore. I personally rocked the boat to transport three coffins back to my hometown Hengyang and buried them together in a grave. Centrifuge, according to Jing Ming, an old monk from Lion Mountain Temple in Nanyue, Hengyang City, his real name is Misha, his legal name is Chang Jin, and his word is Mi Guang. With the teacher's consent, he set up a hut on the graves of three relatives and began his filial piety career for more than three years.
1946, 35 years old. Su Ru never left his grave during his Buddhist recitation. He took chanting Buddha as his homework day and night, and his kung fu of chanting Buddha was achieved accordingly, which won him great joy.
At the age of 38, 1949, when the mourning period expired, the old monk Kagami Akira allowed Master Mi Guang to stay in Nanhua Temple in Caoxi for a long time to find the old monk Xu Yun.
1950 At the age of 39, Master Mi Guang left South China and went to yunmen temple to remember the old monk Xu Yun, which coincided with a grand feast at the Yunmen Temple built by the old monk Xu Yun at the invitation of squire believers such as Li. From then on, Master Miguang began his practice of getting close to the old monk Xu Yun. One day in summer, Master Mi Guang dreamed that Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor, was wearing a red ancestral costume. The sixth ancestor was speechless, and when he woke up, he understood that it was a dreamland and did not agree. Another night, I dreamed that I was carrying Yan Wen, the Zen master of Yunmen, across the river, and I grabbed my father's feet with my hands. I was surprised to see that Yunmen's father had a disability in his right foot. The laws and regulations were checked and found to be consistent. Since then, I have been at peace with my body and mind, and my outer edge has not been invaded.
Master Miguang insisted on asceticism in the jungle, served as the head of fire, vegetable or hall in Daliao, and did not go to Chenguang Hall for a long time. His class is strange, and he speaks for everyone. One day, in the realm of meditation, I suddenly felt blessed and my body and mind were completely penetrated. I picked up my exercise book and looked through it for about 20 minutes, then I reported the good news to the public. As the saying goes, "Buddhism speaks the truth!" I read shurangama mantra five times in front of the public, and every word was correct.
Once again, I was seriously ill in bed for seven days and seven nights, with my heart in the middle, and I got well for just a few seconds. Since then, Shu Shu said:
The six divisions in the wheel of karma are endless, and his face turns like the wind.
Looking for the way home with dust on my back, I have been studying Buddhism for a long time!
Time flies for a hundred years, but the empty arrow still falls.
If you don't stop halfway, you will regret the sunset!
And wrote:
The dragon is out of the golden lock and the phoenix is out of the dragon, and its wings are too weak.
A cage chicken is close to the soup pot, and a wild crane has no food!
And wrote:
Originally, 100 million robbed Munibao, but vanity money could not buy it.
Calm down and be confused and comfortable. Walk, sit, lie down and run with you.
As mentioned above, it clearly expresses the simple and true Zen experience of Master Mi Guang.
195 1, aged 40, from yunmen temple, Guangdong, was thoroughly investigated for being falsely reported. As soon as the storm subsided, a disciple came to pray and preach the precepts. Xu Yun, an old monk, planned to give lectures in three places from the eighth day of June to the nineteenth day of June in the lunar calendar. Only twelve people were taught the precepts, including ten men and two women (one of them, Master Tuo Ni Guang, is the common sister of Zen master Mi Guang). During abstinence, the potted plants in Youtan reopened, with eleven and a half flowers, one of which was a semi-finished product. After the completion of the retreat, Master Mi Guang burned the ring finger of his left hand in front of the Buddha and offered himself to the Buddha.
1952,41year-old, old monk Xu Yun went to Beijing, and Master Mi Guangda stayed in yunmen temple. He wears bitter clothes all the year round and works hard for the people on the list of ascetic monks. He doesn't talk much, makes peace with others, makes progress, goes barefoot all the year round and doesn't know winter or summer.
1953, 42 years old, July 2008. The old monk Xu Yun went to Yunjushan to rebuild the temple. In the second half of the year, Master Miguang went to Yunjushan. When he entered the temple, there were only four monks. Master Miguang tried his best to protect the Dojo and was the backbone disciple of the old monk Xu Yun. Don't avoid the cold, break the ice and get into the water, shoulder to shoulder, all on the road, busy all day, like a blink of an eye. I undertake pond mud during the day and collect slopes at night. I always think I just went out. Every time I ask my friend, "Why did you go back as soon as you came out?" Taoist friends all said, "I've been working all day, and I thought I just came out." Mi Guang is crazy. "
From 65438 to 0955, when he was 44 years old, Master Mi Guangda suffered from rheumatism because he planted paddy fields in Yunju Mountain, and his feet muscles were severely atrophied. Under the guidance of Xu Yun, an old monk, he came to Gaoyun Temple in Yangzhou and lived in a meditation hall. Thanks to the careful treatment of a good doctor, rheumatism has healed and kung fu has made great progress. However, due to the movement of "eliminating counter-revolutionaries", many people were forced to return to the secular world, and the old monk was also implicated. Since then, he has been in constant pain, but he never gave up. Since then, it has experienced various hardships such as "breaking the four old", "Great Leap Forward" and "Cultural Revolution".
At the age of 55, 1966, he was sent to the countryside and ordered to return to the secular world, but refused to do so. Cattle herding 13 years, before the sun rises, I looked at the ancestral home of Zen on the other side of the river, painstakingly inspired myself, stuck to the ancestral home, always listened to the teachings of the old monk Xu Yun, gave my life to protect the law, and never took off my monk's clothes. Even under the pressure of the "Cultural Revolution", I never gave up my thoughts. The greater the suffering, the stronger my will. He often proudly said to his disciples: "In the decade of the Cultural Revolution, civil strife continued. When I herd cattle, people often scold me. Why not die quickly? I don't think we will die! " I have to wait for Buddhism to resume. During the Cultural Revolution, I never took off my clothes for a day! "
At the age of 65, 1976, in order to pray for the revival of Buddhist belief, Master Miguang made a three-step pilgrimage to Jiuhua and Putuo, burning incense for the Buddha along the way.
1978 67 years old, due to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, Master Jian Zhen planned to return to China to visit relatives, and Master Mi Guang was ordered to receive the Japanese goodwill mission. During the welcoming parade, Zhao Puchu accompanied guests from all over the world as soon as he entered the temple. MiGuang mage took great risks to hold Zhao Puchu's hand, while saying hello, while deliberately pulling open the robe, revealing the layman's work clothes inside, showing the people that the religious policy at that time had not been restored. Based on this karma, it promoted the implementation of the policy of freedom of religious belief in daming temple, Yangzhou from 65438 to 0980, and initiated the opening religious policy of Buddhist temples after the Cultural Revolution. Since then, in order to restore Gaoyun Temple in Yangzhou, he went to Beijing, hung a bloody book in Tiananmen Square, and demanded the restoration of Gaoyun Temple Dojo. Finally, daming temple, Gaoyun Temple, Jingzhong Temple and Kannonji all implemented religious policies, which laid a solid foundation for the country to implement the policy of freedom of religious belief in major temples.
1983 72 years old, the implementation of religious policy has become inevitable, and Master Mi Guang began to be ascetic. Since entering the customs in the middle of the year, he has accumulated more than 20 years before and after, and often lives in Guanzhong to seek life and death through enlightenment. During the period of retreat, all offerings were entrusted to disciples to seal scriptures and engrave monuments, so that all beings could get a bodhi edge. Whenever a new waiter arrives, the old monk always asks repeatedly, "Life is impermanent. I must sit in the jar after I die!" " "
Throughout Master Mi Guang's life, under the jungle club, he has been on the list of asceticism such as rice head, vegetable head, garden head and fire head. And never left any money. All his support was used to engrave the Fo Yin Sutra, and he never pursued the position of deacon or abbot. Even when he returned to Yunjushan at the age of 80, he still grew his own vegetables, dug his own soil and did not entrust others.
In 2008, at the age of 97, when I was living in Shenzhen, I had to stay in bed because I slipped on the road and broke my thigh bone. From May 23rd to 24th, Master Miguang made a farewell speech to all the deacons who lived in Quanshan, saying that he was dying and would not live in the jar again, and asked not to be cremated, and left a will: "In the place where I was enshrined, a couplet like this should be set up:' Clouds are all over the world, and light shines on all kinds of beings.' There are not many old people in the world, and my career is over. There is only one thing to worry about: Buddhism smells bad and practice is not easy. I advise your descendants not to play with it! I have been insisting on Buddhism all my life, regardless of life or death, in order to have talents for future generations and hope for Buddhism! "At 22: 30 pm on May 25, Master Mi Guang adjusted his body to lie on the right side of the auspicious lion and died peacefully. After 8 to 44 hours, the head is warm.
At 22: 30 midnight on May 27th, 2008, the body of Master Mi Guang was transferred from Yunjushan to Kannonji for special placement due to the need of sitting in the jar. At 22: 30 pm on May 29, the process of the old monk Miguang sitting in the jar was all over. Under the harsh conditions of hot summer and nearly 144 hours of turbulence, Master Miguang's dharma body was completely normal, and his state of entering the jar was better than before. His expression is serene and calm, and his body has a faint fragrance, no peculiar smell, no omission, clean and free and easy. The old man's body is smooth and his skin is like a baby. All disciples who have been in contact with monks think this is a rare opportunity. After that, Master Mi Guang spent more than three years in Shikanonji, Liuzhi Town, huangpi district, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. His disciples are very filial and always take care of them.
20 1 1 10, 16 night, the legal inspection ended, and the opening ceremony was held. The Dharma Body of Master Miguang was unveiled in the stone statue of Kannonji, and the wonderful fragrance was sprayed into the nostrils at the altar. Although Master Mi Guang has been dead for more than three years, his body is extremely intact and his skin is as elastic as before. At the beginning, hair and nails have grown longer, and most of them are golden yellow. Eyebrows and beards have also grown and turned black. It is particularly strange that the Amitabha seal made by crossing hands when entering the jar has now become a magic seal with the right hand covering the right knee and the finger leaning on the ground, which is quite different from the fingerprint when filling the jar. The broken thigh bone was completely exposed before he died, and he staggered and sat down, more solemn than before he died. At this time, the disciples realized that the teacher's injuries were all manifested by training his disciples. Jiuhuashan workers who invited to open cans to take care of the body also lamented that this was the most perfect body they had ever seen.
