Does anyone know the historical legend that Jigong was driven out of Lingyin Temple and went to Jingci Temple? What was the reason for being driven out of Lingyin Temple?
In the eyes of ordinary monks and nuns, Daoji is out of line and is regarded as an abnormal person. Therefore, some monks complained to the abbot that Ji had violated the precepts of Zen and should be beaten and expelled from the mountain gate. Who knows, the abbot of Hui Yuan declared: "The law was originally made by ordinary people, how can it be misused!" And on the first piece of paper, he approved: "The Buddhism is vast, how can you accommodate a monk!" "Since then, no one dare to criticize.
After Hui Yuan's death, Daoji went to Jingci Temple to vote for Elder Dehui, and later became a secretary monk.
Extended data:
Jigong is a broken hat, a broken fan, a broken shoe and a dirty dress. He seems to be crazy. He first became a monk in Xiaoguo Temple, then lived in Lingyin Temple and then in Jingci Temple.
Jigong is listed as the 50th ancestor of Zen Buddhism and the 6th ancestor of Yangqi School. He is the author of Quotations from the Peak 10 volume, with many poems, mainly included in Records of Jingci Temple and Brahma Mount Tai.
Jigong's life is legendary, both "bumpy" and "frugal". When Jigong was born, he happened to meet the 17 arhats (that is, the dragon-descending arhats) in the ancient temple, and people said that Jigong was reincarnated as arhats.
People look forward to the savior, and society calls for heroes. When people were in urgent need of sages, monks became "living buddhas", and Dao Ji, a mortal, became a deity offering sacrifices in past dynasties. After becoming a Buddha, his honorific title is as long as 28 words: "Great kindness, great compassion, great wisdom, purple gold, arhat, venerable sage, sage", which combines Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and can be called the ultimate deification.
This also shows that Jigong is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people and has become a "living Buddha" in the hearts of the people, reflecting the broad affinity of Jigong's image.
