Which Buddha's Dojo is Mount Emei?
In the first century A.D., Buddhism formed two schools, Mahayana and Hinayana, because Buddhists have different understandings of what can be achieved by practicing. Mahayana Buddhism was first introduced into China and divided into three schools: Sanlun Sect, Pure Land Sect, Legalist Sect, Faxiang Sect, Tantric Sect, Tiantai Sect and Huayan Sect. The first five cases were from Tianzhu (now India), and the last two cases were created by monks in China. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, during the period of Liang Xiaotian Jian (502-5 19), bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk from Southern Tianzhu, came to China to establish Zen Buddhism. Since then, Zen has spread in China as an authentic religion. Dharma is the ancestor of Zen in China. Buddhism preached Hui Ke, Hui Ke preached the monk and his wife, and the wife preached a letter, which preached tolerance and forbearance and preached Huineng as the sixth ancestor. Huineng and Shen Xiu are both influenced by the teachings of the Five Ancestors, and they are divided into two factions, namely, "practicing in the south and practicing in the north" in the history of religion. Shen Xiu represents the Northern School, but it has been passed down for two generations, and Huineng represents the Southern School, which has been passed down to this day. Master Huineng has many legal heirs, and the clan branch is extremely prosperous. Later, Nanzong was divided into two departments, namely, Huaiyang of South Vietnam and Qingyuan Hangsi. Nanyue School is divided into Luyang School and Lin Ji School. Qingyuan School is divided into three schools: Cao Dong, Yunmen and Fayan. After Chu Yuan, Lin Jizong gave birth to Huanglong School and Yang Qi School.
Most monks in Emei Mountain are disciples of Lin Ji School, followed by Cao Dongzong. According to the book "Five Lights Meeting Yuan", Tang Wenzong (reigned in 827-840 AD) came to Mount Emei, including Chang Fu Zen Master (from Meizhou), Huang Bai Old Man (from Fujian), Xiaosheng Monk (from Chengdu) and Heishui Monk (from Emei), who were the earliest disciples of Nanyue Lin Ji School. Tang Xizong (reigned from 874 to 888 AD) was originally from Xichan (History), Baishui (History), Zhao Cheng (Qingcheng in western Sichuan), Bushuiyan (Yizhou) and Dongting (History), and was the earliest disciple of Qingyuan in Cao Dongzong. After they came to Emei Mountain, they built temples and recruited disciples, which have been passed down from generation to generation and have continued to this day.
Unfortunately, due to the scarcity of historical materials, it is difficult to know the specific historical facts of Zen lanterns. Now we can only know the general development of it from the relevant records of Heishui Ancestral Temple and Wen Chang Xiupu. According to the records of Mount Emei, "Heishui Temple, on the opposite Moon Peak, was built in Zhao Gong in the Jin and Wei Dynasties (384 ~ 4 14). When Tang Xizong asked, monk Hui Tong lived in Xi, and heard that the court had this matter. It was planned to build Yongming Huazang Temple (namely Heishui Temple), Hongjian Pu Xian (namely Wannian Temple), Enbukuji (namely Niuxin Temple), Zhongfeng and Huayan four temples. After Zuting, it was listed among lanterns, including Beijing, Heilongjiang, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi and Guangwu. Before and after the Seven Dynasties, the clan style was greatly improved. Therefore, it is called' Emei Ancestral Temple' and' Shuidongxi' in ancient and modern times, both of which are named after mountains. "
According to Liu Junze's Emei Galand, Huayanding was built by an old man, Yongzheng Ji You (1729). Lying in Yun 'an, I saw a Zen master who didn't preach Lin Ji in the 34th century, but a true scholar with a long history. When he was in Jiaqing, he was stationed in Emei Lingjue Hall to supervise the temple affairs. Jiaqing Jiashu (A.D. 18 14) began to look at the genealogy below the Zen master and let his disciples travel all over Sichuan and more than 20 counties in Jiangsu, Yunnan and Guizhou. After a general visit and investigation, it was compiled to Daoguang years (A.D. 1847), which was divided into 18 parts and stored in Yongqing Temple in Benshan, Huayanding and related temples in the province. Unfortunately, this spectrum is currently unavailable.
Lin Jizong's Buddhist spectrum (word generation): quiet wisdom, round virtue. Truth is like the sea of sex, silence is like ordinary. The heart is wide and constant, and this feeling is prosperous. Different people have different opinions, and wise people have different opinions. They often play magnanimity. Only when France and India are passed will the Enlightenment be integrated. Abide by the commandments and always follow your ancestors.
Genealogy of monks in Cao Dongzong: Guang Chong Miao Shan, Hong Sheng Xi (later changed to Yongchang). Stepfather, Zheng Huiwei Fang. Round and bright, wise and virtuous; Chenghai, realize its truth.
Lu monk's spectrum: wisdom is wonderful and true, and the heart is empty and enlightened. The continuation of the law is far-reaching, and the lotus lamp shines through the ages.
In addition, on the bronze medal of Jinding Copper Hall, there are the words "Emei Mountain Copper Hall Method: shine on the sea, always shine on the mirror of wisdom". Listen to thoughts, cultivate morality, and feel full of harmony. "
1984, the stone tablet written by Feng Qingyue in Qing Dynasty unearthed in Hongchunping was engraved with the name of "Thousand Buddhas Zen Forest". The sea is pure, and sincere views are good. Jin Jing is extensive and deep, while Fa contains empty lessons. Fuman succeeded and came to Zhao Pu in the west. "These may be the genealogy of monks of a branch of Lin Ji Sect.
1990 March "Emei Mountain Buddhist Album? The sixth volume of Emei Literature and History records the religious system of Emei Monastery up to AD 1949 (as a group, it is close).

It was 1996 that the whole mountain Buddhist community reached an agreement to establish a ten-square jungle with the Pilu Hall of Wannian Temple and the Giant Buddha Hall in the eastern suburb of Emei, which was the beginning of the ten-square jungle of Emei Mountain. In the 8th year of the Republic of China (19 19), the abbot of the Great Buddha Hall called more than 300 people to preach the precepts and teach Buddhism. In the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), Zen master Datong lectured in the Pilu Hall, and more than 260 people were ordained.
