They saw that there were good spring stones in the twin peaks and stayed there for nearly thirty years. With the Zen gate open wide, there are five hundred disciples gathered. They are self-sufficient and sit diligently. He wrote a volume called "The Book of Bodhisattva's Precepts" to teach the precepts; he also wrote "Essential Dharma Doors for Entering the Path and Peace of Mind" to teach people to practice One Practice Samadhi to clarify their mind. Farming is used to support Zen, with equal emphasis on practice and attainment, the unity of Zen and precepts, and the integration of all Dharma schools such as tranquility and contemplation. There are many people who have achieved results in Shuangfeng of Qizhou. His Ren Zen master, after becoming a Zen master, had a wonderful Dharma, and was called the Dongshan Dharma Gate at that time; Jingzhou Fa Xian, who learned "the art of getting out of the important points and lowering the mind"; Hengyue was good at hiding, and learned the method of "entering the Tao and feeling at ease"; Jingzhou Xuan Shuang "is urgent to send out subtle subtleties, only to keep thoughts, sit for a long time without lying down, keep thoughts in front"; Niutou Fa Rong, then realizes the purpose of "hundreds and thousands of Dharma doors, all return to the same square inch, and the wonderful virtues of river sand are always in the source of the heart"; Xinluo Fa Lang, who followed the Dharma and returned to the east, founded the Haidong Zen Way. The Fourth Patriarch and his six divine feet are not only the foundation of the fortune of the Zen sect in China, but also the founder of the Buddhist Zen Way of Haedong in Silla. In the second year of Yonghui (651), Zu ordered his disciples to build a pagoda on the west ridge of the temple. On the fourth day of the ninth month in the ancient calendar of the same year, he entered the pagoda and warned his disciples. After finishing his words, he became silent. His life span was seventy-two. In the second year, the pagoda door opened by itself, and the body became immortal. People welcomed the real body back to the temple to worship.

He became a monk in 1930 and is the 44th generation descendant of the Linji sect. Now it is the retreat of Guangxiao Temple, Huangmei Sizu Temple, and Hongfa Temple in Shenzhen. It also serves as the temple of Shaoguan Danxiashan Biezhuan Temple, Nanxiong Daxiong Temple, Nanxiong Liankaijing Temple, Wuhan Xinzhou Baoen Temple, and Xishui Doufang Temple. Abbot. Monk Ben Huan

Ben Huan is the chairman of the Advisory Committee of the Chinese Buddhist Association, the honorary president of the Hubei Buddhist Association, the president of the Shenzhen Buddhist Association, and the honorary president of the Shaoguan Buddhist Association. He was elected as a member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the second session of the Shenzhen Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Guangdong Province Renhua County CPPCC Committee. I have been a Buddhist for more than seventy years. I have had an extraordinary life and a bumpy spiritual life. For decades, I have traveled north and south, spreading the Dharma and benefiting people. The Dharma has spread all over the world, and I am respected as a leading figure in Buddhism. On September 21, 1907, I was born in Zhangwan Village, Liji, Xinzhou, Hubei. Because his family was poor, he only attended private school for six years, then dropped out to work as a printing apprentice in Wuchang, and soon went to Cangzibu, Xinzhou as an apprentice in a grocery store. Due to the corruption of the government at that time, external aggression and internal troubles, social unrest, and people's livelihood was in dire straits. I am deeply aware of the impermanence of things in the world, and gradually have the desire to escape from the secular world. He often went to Bao'en Temple in Cangbu and listened to the sermons of the holy master. He then determined to devote himself to the Buddha and pursue the true meaning of life. On January 15, 1930, when I was 22 years old, I had a special destiny. I decided to give up my love and leave home. I went to Bao'en Temple to pay homage to Master Shengsheng, and was ordained and became a monk. I was given the Buddhist name Ben Huan. On April 8, 1930, I went to the Baotong Temple in Wuchang to ask for ordination from the great monk Zhisong. From now on, I will cultivate myself quietly and benefit all sentient beings. On July 1, 1930, I was determined to further mystic cultivation and went to Gaomin Temple in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province to be guided by Monk Guo. Soon he became a waiter, and later he took up the mantle. I lived in Gaomin Temple for seven years and it was unconventional. In 1934, after he participated in the Eight Zen Sevens, he continued to practice the five Life and Death Sevens. For ninety-one days and nights, he meditated and meditated and persisted in not losing his balance. In order to prevent him from losing his balance, he imitated the ancients' "head hanging from the beam" The method was to put one end of the rope around the chin and the other end to the beam, and practice meditation hard, which won the approval of the old monk Lai Guo, and he was successively appointed to the posts of Veina, back hall and so on. In January 1937, I was 30 years old. Make a vow to go to Mount Wutai to pay homage to Manjusri Monastery. Take a train from Yangzhou to Dingxian, Hebei via Wuhan. From Dingxian to Wutai, the whole journey was more than 300 miles, insisting on praying three steps at a time, walking three miles a day, which lasted 65 days. On March 3 of that year, he arrived at the Holy Land of Wutai. After another three steps and one bow, I bowed to the five tops of the platform. After a journey of more than 400 miles, my feet were swollen and my knees were covered with thick calluses, but my heart was always full of joy. After bowing to Mount Wutai, I stayed at Bishan Temple. (also known as Guangji Maofeng) settled down to practice. On April 8, 1939, when I was 32 years old, I received the Dharma from the old monk Guang Hui at the Bishan Temple with my brothers Xiye, Fadu, Yinxiu, and Jingru, inherited the Linji Dharma lineage, and continued the wisdom of the Buddha. In this year, he served as the supervisor of Bishan Temple and managed temple affairs. In 1941, during the Anti-Japanese War, Wutai Mountain was already an anti-Japanese guerrilla zone of the Eighth Route Army. I firmly supported the Eighth Route Army’s anti-Japanese policy of saving the country and the people, and supported the Eighth Route Army’s anti-Japanese activities. Once, when a battalion commander in the Eighth Route Army was on a mission, he was discovered by the Japanese troops chasing him. The situation was very urgent. I decisively hid the battalion commander in the temple. Regardless of his own life, he dealt with the Japanese troops and skillfully supported the battalion commander. He defeated the Japanese army and was later praised by the Eighth Route Army. From October 1942 to July 1945, he stayed in seclusion at Qixian Temple on the mountain for three years, read more than a thousand volumes of the Tripitaka, and lit a thousand flames continuously. To save the fallen soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War.

In 1946, when I was 39 years old, I went to the Pure Land Temple in Yingxian County, Shanxi Province to live in peace for the summer. Here I pricked my tongue with blood and turned it into ink, wrote more than 100,000 words of blood scriptures, and put more than 100 flame mouths. Up to now, I have preserved a 5,952-word volume of "The Universal Worthy's Vows of the Great Buddha Huayan Sutra" and used it as a daily lesson. Even though I am ninety-seven years old, I still insist on reciting it several times in the morning and evening. People admire. In March 1947, when I was 40 years old, in order to protect the precious cultural relics in the temple, the Huayan Pagoda, I left Bishan Temple after ten years of hard training in Wutai Mountain. Through Beijing and Tianjin, I sent the Huayan Pagoda to the lower courtyard of Bishan Temple in Shanghai and handed it over. It was kept in the hands of two senior brothers, Shouye and Fadu. In January 1948, because my mother was critically ill, I returned from Shanghai to Xinzhou, Hubei and lived in Baoen Temple. On the one hand, he serves his mother's soup and medicine, and on the other hand, he sets a hundred flames in Bao'en Temple to ward off disasters and prolong her life. Soon after his mother passed away, he built a memorial platform next to her grave, burned his arms as candles, recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra day and night, and observed mourning for forty-nine days. In July 1948, when I was 41 years old, I was invited to the Sixth Patriarch’s Dojo of Nanhua Temple in Guangdong at the invitation of the eminent modern monk Xuyun. In November of that year, he received the teachings from the old monk Xuyun and was established as the forty-fourth generation successor of the Linji Sect. On April 8, 1949, when I was 42 years old, I became the abbot of Nanhua Temple. At that time, monk Xuyun was already 111 years old and walked a hundred miles from Yunmen Temple to see him off. Monk Benhuan

In July 1958, at the age of 51, he was unjustly imprisoned and spent more than ten years in prison. In 1980, he bid farewell to the prison and returned to the mountain gate after being imprisoned. In March 1980, at the age of 73, I was hired by the Renhua County Government of Guangdong Province to restore the Biezhuan Temple in Danxia Mountain. On April 8, 1984, the inauguration ceremony of the temple was held. In June 1982, Mr. Li Hanhun, the former chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government of the Kuomintang, learned that the Biezhuan Temple had been restored to glory. He came back from the United States to visit me and gave him a gift of the book he wrote that year. "Biechuan Temple" plaque. After the Spring Festival in 1986, President Zhao Puchu of the Chinese Buddhist Association, when inspecting the Biezhuan Temple, wrote a poem to praise my achievements in restoring the Biezhuan Temple. The poem said: "The peaks stand like children and grandchildren!" Sitting high in the Danxia Temple is a statue of Buddha, whose concentration can be summoned across the sea. There are still typical examples in the jungle. A furnace of cypresses is filled with the Zen flavor, and seven bowls of pine waves are used to search for the traces of dreams. If I don’t get to go all over the hall to see them, I would like to have half a verse to guard the mountain gate. "In October 1986, the governor of Guangdong Province, Ye Xuanping, made a special trip to Danxia Mountain to pay homage to Biezhuan Temple. He presented a book with calligraphy on the second floor of "Bell Tower" and "Drum Tower" and took a group photo with me as a souvenir. In December 1986, I was 80 years old.

It was first built in the Three Kingdoms and declined in the Republic of China. It has been built for more than 1,700 years. With a long history, Guangxiao Temple is a sacred place for early Buddhist scripture translation in China and the ancestral home of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng who promoted Southern Zen. Vice Chairman and Secretary Lin Ruo of Guangdong Province visited Guangxiao Temple in person and praised my contribution to the reconstruction of Guangxiao Temple.

Hongfa Temple was planned to be built in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. After the construction of the Main Hall, Tianwang Hall, Sutra Tower, Dharma Hall and Bell and Drum Floor, the construction was stopped in 1990 and started in 1992 by the Buddhist Association of China. On June 18, Hongfa Temple held the consecration ceremony of the Buddha statue and the enthronement ceremony of the abbot. It took seven years from 1992 to 1997 to raise more than 40 million yuan and complete the temple's monk dormitory area of ??about 34,000 square meters. In 1994, when I was 82 years old, I rebuilt Baoen Temple in Xinzhou, Hubei Province. The original site of this temple was in Cangzi Buji, and it was rebuilt on the bank of Taoist Temple. It was built in 1994, with more than 15 million yuan raised, and the completed construction area is about 6,000 yuan. The renovated Baoen Temple was more majestic than before and became a famous temple in Jiangxia. On September 21, 1994, I returned to my ancestral home to celebrate my 87th birthday.

Although it has been restored several times, it was still destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. Today, only one room of the Fourth Ancestor Hall and a few ancient cypress trees remain.
