What's Tang Sanzang's real name?
The Tang Priest, also known as Xuanzang, was born in Chen Yi and yanshi city, Luozhou (now Luoyang, Henan). A famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, the founder of Faxiangzong, was honored as "Master Sanzang", later commonly known as "Tang Priest".
Jiang Liuer is the milk name of Tang Priest. The origin of its name: Because a bad man killed Tang Priest's father, his mother put him in a wooden basin or board and let the river take him away, and the old monk saved him, so he was named Jiang Liuer.
Xuanzang became a monk when he was young, and his parents died early. At the age of 65,438+03, he became a monk and later became a Buddhist teacher. He has successively studied Confucian classics such as Mahayana, Za 'a Dharma Mind, Theory of Achievement, Theory of Abandoning Everything, and Panchen Sutra from Hui Xiu, Shen Dao, Dao Yue, Chang Fa, Monk Debate and Xuan Hui, and has made more and more achievements.
