Forest North Fu, building auditorium; near the peak of crisis, take the abbot; o Jun flow, Li Sengfang." Yongping Temple fourteen years as in the Eastern Han Dynasty, namely, 71 AD, the Han Emperor Ming Chik name "Temple of the East are Dharma King," the White Horse Temple three years later, this is the second Buddhist monastery.Han Ming Di devout Buddhist, Dharma King Temple is completed, the Songshan is located in the Gyeonggi Province, between convenience, Emperor Ming, and many followers visit the temple officials, after listening to Buddha. Emperor Ming ordered, the newly appointed officials, regardless of rank, must listen to the Temple of the Great Dharma King by the study of law, before taking office. Photo Matanga, Zhu Falan Turkey pagoda in a temple in this "on the thousands of trees, the fragrance is satisfied that all generations", meditation Jinglv, translation sermon. After eleven years Yongping completed their White Horse Temple in China's first Buddhist Scriptures, "四十二章经", the then King Temple in Songshan Mountain Dharma gradually translated several classics of early Theravada Buddhism.Buddhism is like a floating seed from the West, first in the song took root among the Luo.Eastern Han Dynasty, Song Luo Mahayana Buddhism. "X" is the passages, Theravada Buddhism, the self-deliverance, Mahayana Buddhism stresses the salvation. In addition to differences in purpose, in practice the way, the Mahayana is also relatively simple.With the introduction of Mahayana Buddhism, the influence of Buddhism began to spread among the people. Three Kingdoms period, between Los Song out of the first official history of Chinese Buddhist monk of the Han Chinese monk ordained, he is Zhushi line.Born in the south of Yingchuan of Zhu Shi Songshan line after a monk in the Song Luo, to spreading the Buddhist Dharma as their responsibility, concentrate on the theoretical study of Buddhism. Mahayana popular classic was simple yet quality, many points does not actually clear. He therefore "oath Chi donated body, far from seeking Big Ben", in Wei Luo mannose five years starting from the Song, the beginning of his westbound Method feat.In Khotan, Zhu Shi-line copy to take ninety products "Perfection of Wisdom Sutra" Sanskrit, sent his disciples for three years at the West Front as Jin Tai Tan etc. escorted by the volume back to Luoyang. Ten years later, the Vatican from the Han language proficiency Indian Monks and knowledgeable people Zhushu Lan Luo fork no two Western monks translated, "the shine of Wisdom Sutra", a total of twenty volumes.When the "Wisdom shine through" to much popular in the time of the Han, Zhu Shi-line still in Khotan, the last to eighty years old, for the sake of law die abroad. "Liang Monks," said phase when he died, after cremation, "pay to make fire is out, the corpse can still all", after the chanting of mantras, the skeleton was scattered and fragmentary, his disciples have gathered to support the tower made of bone. Two decades of Northern Wei Dynasty, that is AD 496, Shaoshi Shan Mountains under five Rufeng silent trees erected a temple, which is prominent in the Shaolin Temple in the future. Shaolin Temple is the element of Emperor to settle the Indian monk Ba Tuo Wang tin missionary and built to live. But the legendary Shaolin Temple, but due to another Indian monk Bodhidharma.Thirty years after the completion of the Shaolin Temple, the North Wei Xiaochang three years, Bodhidharma regardless of the hardships the country across the sea from the south to the eastern territory Tianzhu, Zen started the spread of the land of China.When people talk about Zen Buddhism, often with a pack of "local scene" to express the impression of Zen. Cultural origins of Buddhism in India, and Zen is the unique characteristics of the Buddhist sects in China, and its cultural origins in the Songshan Mountain, in the known as the "Zen Buddhism" in the Shaolin Temple.
 Bodhidharma first to Nanking, came after January Yongning Temple Buddha saw that the nine "gold plate Hyun day, light clouds form; Po Duo with the wind, the outer ring; singing praise is indeed the magic," claiming to live hundred and fifty years old, travel around the world had never seen such a beautiful temple as the temple Yongning. Thus, Namo Dharma mouth to sing, clap your hands together constantly praise, has heart and Song Luo Xu.Left Yongning Temple, Bodhidharma came to tens of miles outside the Songshan Shaolin Temple, off the track here, facing the wall all day. Facing the wall seems to be a Tracing the source, also appears to be a wait for opportunity.Songshan this time there was a monk named SG, I heard that living in the Shaolin Temple Dharma master, so to pay homage.Bodhidharma sat facing the wall, noncommittal. SG did not give up. He asked of myself: "The ancient Tao, all went through untold hardships, and tolerance of ordinary people can not endure. Ancients like this, I have Hedeheneng? When the self-encouragement!" Deepest winter when the home, there were numerous heavy snow to float over the sky.As night fell, SG, calmly walked to stand still without moving the snow has not seen the dawn of his knees. Bodhidharma then begins, asked: "Are you in the long-Li Xue, the demand anything for?" SG said in tears: "only monk compassion, as I preach." Dharma worried about the SG just a crush, not for long , a slight hesitation. SG understand Bodhidharma thought, to take razor cutting off his left arm, placed in front of Dharma.Dharma so he left in his side, and Hui-named him. Shaolin Li Xue within the Pavilion is available for the Jinian Hui arm built the solution to the deeds.
Dharma Master to four volumes of "Lankavatara by" grant wisdom can, and wisdom may be that the future of Zen in the eastern territory of the second generation of the founder, since then, China has passed laws in the Zen lineage.Zen in its birthplace in India were not into, but after the incoming Song Luo, a continuous stretch of the mainstream Buddhist sects. Zen is one important reason for long popular is its simple teachings and practice methods. To teach the course within the transmission method will inevitably produce dogmatic, formal defects, not only on textual re-grasp the spirit of the text will be lost doctrine of the soul. In view of this biased tendency Zen proposed the "Education Biography outside, can not stand text, Zhizhirenxin, and see the Buddha," the purpose. The so-called "teaching outside the Biography", is the typical teaching do not have a doctrine other than the teaching method. Zen simplicity, it is reflected in "seeing of the Buddha" on the idea.Zen is "meditation," said the quiet reflection of Buddhism is meditation. Bodhidharma, a new meditation methods, the set of Indian Buddhism denied the ladder of levels and lifetimes practice practice and advocate that everyone has the Buddha nature that is "nature", and everyone has a first world is the wisdom of Buddha "Bodhi", everyone can become a Buddha through the consciousness of the Buddha, although when suddenly Dawu uncertain. Why not become a Buddha beings, because there is no consciousness of its own nature. Once the "fog, a clear sky", clear your heart, from nature is the Buddha, the Buddha, look into the common ordinary people.
Zen Buddhism spread to the Tang Dynasty, Liuzuhuineng proposed the idea of insight, even meditation is also free, and that insight was not asked to leave real life, "cite a single step foot long in the temple, is the heart is the situation, Tonggui of the sea""nothing but wonderful road for water cutting wood" in their daily work life can become a Buddha insight. Shaolin kung fu monks have originated in the daily life. Legend Batuo disciples VECON twelve years old, in Tseng Lan shuttlecock five hundred on the counter. On the other girls in Tseng Lan is very dangerous, kung fu may not fall at home to the well. Shaolin kung fu monks of many moves are subject to daily labor such as fetching water, sweeping, firewood, firewood movement inspired by processing extracted from the. The maximum depth is actually the most common martial arts kung fu.Shaolin kung fu known as the source of the "Yi Jin Jing" is a clear record of the meridians and thus strengthening sinews and bones of human effort. Bodhidharma Zen method of using the wall view of the long sit-in, drowsiness is inevitable, often up to active muscles. According to legend, Bodhidharma left, Shaolin monks found a tin in the cave, there is no lock box, but not open. Wise monk fire roasting tin will be opened, the original wax tin is sealed to prevent moisture erosion. Tin in two books, one is the "Yi Jin Jing", another book called "Xisui Jing", are written in Sanskrit.At the time, really understand the Shaolin Temple in Sanskrit can be only two ancestral wisdom. Hui may be the "Yi Jin Jing" to remain in Shaolin, his hand "Xisui Jing" to wander the world.The temple also has some little knowledge of Sanskrit monk, you turn his translation, according to the law practice, which was overwhelming in Shaolin Kung Fu. Later, monks with "Yi Jin Jing" to Emei Mountain, Indian Monks who saw the assassination as a firm and dense. As close in meaning with the help of assassination, "Yi Jin Jing" have a Chinese version. Hui can wander back, back to his own translation of the "Xisui Jing."We compared the two, only to find "Yi Jin Jing" and "Xi Suijing" turned out to be one.Since the "Yi Jin Jing" come out, meditation and martial arts Shaolin monks is at the hip.
