Guanyin Bodhisattva Manjusri Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Puxian Bodhisattva

Guanyin Bodhisattva:

Being born in the world, people often suffer from natural and man-made disasters. When relentless water, fire, knives, soldiers, diseases, orphans, etc. are infringed, people are always crying for help. Guanyin is always observing and listening carefully and deeply, looking for the cry for help of all the sufferings in the world. All the men, women and children in the world, at the critical moment of disaster, as long as they sincerely call Guanyin Bodhisattva's holy name and ask for help, Guanyin Bodhisattva will observe your suffering in real time, hear your cry for help, and save you from your suffering with a fearless spirit and an appropriate incarnation. As Hokkekyo and Pumenpin said, "You should say that you are who you are, that is, who you are.". Therefore, the meaning of Guanyin Bodhisattva is that it is merciful and compassionate, and it saves suffering by following the sound and appears everywhere.

Manjusri Bodhisattva:

Manjusri is short for Manjusri. As for the origin of Manjusri, a popular saying is that in the Manjusri Nirvana Sutra, he was a great disciple of Sakyamuni, originally a son of a noble Brahman family in sravasti (present-day northwest India), and left home to learn Taoism from Sakyamuni, and his merits were complete, and he became a bodhisattva, and he was honored as the head of the bodhisattva. Manjusri is called "great wisdom" among the four great bodhisattvas, and is often juxtaposed with Pu Xian, the right-hander on both sides of the Buddha. One Buddha and two Bodhisattvas are collectively called "Three Sages of Hua Yan", Manjusri is on the left side of the Buddha, specializing in intelligence, and Bodhisattva is on the right side of the Buddha, managing affairs.

Samantabhadra:

Samantabhadra in Sanskrit. Transliteration: Samando bhadra, or Pu Xian, Bungee. Bodhisattva, which symbolizes the Buddha's principle and virtue, and Manjusri Bodhisattva are opposite in wisdom and virtue. For the right-hand man of Buddha Sakyamuni. Together with Buddha and Manjusri Bodhisattva, they are called Hua Yan San Sheng. One of the four Buddhists in China. Most of its statues ride on the white elephant with six teeth, which represents the great compassion of Buddhism. Bodhisattva samantabhadra's Dojo is in Mount Emei, Sichuan

Tibetan Bodhisattva: After 15 years of the extinction of Buddha, Tibetan Bodhisattva descended to the Wangs' home in Silla, named Jin Qiaojue, with a magnificent body and a strange bone on his head. He said: Among the six books in the world, the first meaning is in harmony with the square inch. Tang Gaozong Yonghui was four years old, and Jin Qiaojue lost his hair at the age of 24 and crossed the sea. Jin Qiaojue, a Tibetan Bodhisattva, went to Jiuhua Mountain in Chizhou, south of the Yangtze River, enjoying this scenic spot, and found a cave in the mountain, where he lived in seclusion and practiced. During his penance, the Bodhisattva was bitten by a poisonous snake and stood still. Suddenly, a woman appeared, giving a gift to the medicine cloud: children are ignorant and willing to go out of the spring to make up for it. This woman is really the god of Jiuhua Mountain. Jin Qiaojue, a Tibetan Bodhisattva, asked the local gentleman Min to surrender and raise a place of cassock, and Min Gong allowed it. Unexpectedly, the Bodhisattva's cassock was displayed all over Jiuhua Mountain. When Min Gong saw its magic, he gave Jiuhua as the Bodhisattva Dojo, and both of them became monks to accompany the Bodhisattva. Today, there are icons hidden in the ground, and the waiters are Min Gong and his son Dao Ming. The old Zhuge Festival in the local township led a group of old people to climb the Range Rover. When they saw the Bodhisattva living alone in a stone room and cooking clay and a small amount of rice with a broken tripod, they marveled: The Bodhisattva was so ascetic that we didn't worship it properly. So he raised money to build a temple and invited the Bodhisattva to live in peace. When the monks in Silla learned that the Bodhisattva was different in Jiuhua, they came across the sea at a rate to seek the Dharma. On the night of July 3th, the 26th year of Tang Kaiyuan (the 19th year of Tang Zhenyuan), the Bodhisattva called his disciples to say goodbye, showing their silence. At that time, the mountains rang with stones, the bells rang with hissing, and the birds mourned, and they died at the age of 99. In the second year of Tang Zhide, the monks built a tower in Nantai to worship. After the completion of the pagoda, it often glows like fire, hence the name Shenguangling in Nantai. For more than 1,2 years, the Tibetan Bodhisattva has been buried in Jiuhua, and pilgrims have come one after another, and there is no virtual day, and the incense is full in the world. 4. which are the four great bodhisattvas

The four great bodhisattvas represent the four fundamentals of Buddhism

1. Manjusri Bodhisattva: Although there are many images of bodhisattvas, there are many names of bodhisattvas, and the most important ones are the four bodhisattvas. We must know that the scriptures tell us that all the Tathagata of the Tenth Party and the Third World have successfully studied according to these three methods. The first one is wisdom, which is represented by Manjusri Bodhisattva. Manjusri is the first one in wisdom, and you have achieved nothing without seeking wisdom.

Second, the Great Mercy Guanyin Bodhisattva

The second one is Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is the head of sorrow, shows great mercy and is really willing to help all sentient beings. Avalokitesvara shows thousands of hands and eyes, and we call it avalokitesvara, which many people are familiar with. Let me ask you again, Manjusri Bodhisattva with Thousand Hands, have you seen it? Have you ever seen a thousand-handed Bodhisattva Samantabhadra? Rarely seen. Tell you, every bodhisattva has thousands of hands and eyes. What does it stand for? On behalf of ourselves. Thousands of hands and thousands of eyes represent the hand to the eye, and all living beings in the world of ten sides, where there is suffering, will help immediately, indicating this meaning, the eye is at hand, omnipresent and omnipotent. A thousand hands and a thousand eyes represent omnipotence and omnipotence, and the eyes are at your fingertips. Take this meaning, and this is really called mercy.

Third, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra

The third is the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, and the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is the leader of the line, that is, it is really done and fully implemented. Therefore, among all bodhisattvas, these three bodhisattvas are the most important, and among all bodhisattvas, the three of them are leaders and leaders. From this, you will know that Manjusri Bodhisattva represents our wisdom, and we demand wisdom; Guanyin Bodhisattva represents that we must cultivate compassion; What Bodhisattva Samantabhadra represents, I must really do it, and I must put wisdom and compassion into practice in my life. This is Pu Xian.

IV. Wishing for the Bodhisattva

In China, Buddhism is based on four Bodhisattvas. The four Bodhisattvas represent the foundation of China Buddhism and the four pillars of China Buddhism. What does ksitigarbha bodhisattva stand for? Show filial piety. Because Buddhism is a teacher's way, and the teacher's way must be based on filial piety, and the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha represents filial piety, so the Prayer Sutra of the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha is a Buddhist filial piety sutra. Where do we learn Buddhism? Starting with Tibetan studies. What is the land? Metaphor of the earth. All our sentient beings are born on this land. Without this land, we can't live. Our life depends on and lives on this land. Everything we eat, wear and use grows from the ground. Plants grow from the ground, and minerals also appear from the ground. How can you leave the ground? We can't live without the land. Therefore, the Buddha uses "land" to express our hearts. The land has infinite treasures and can produce many resources to supply our needs. The Buddha uses this to compare our hearts. There is infinite wisdom, infinite virtue and infinite talent in our hearts, which supports our dharma, body and wisdom, and hides this meaning. What is the treasure of the heart to be developed with? If you don't develop it, you will be useless. You must know how to develop it. With what development? With filial piety. You should know that filial piety is a sexual virtue, and it is an inherent virtue in nature. Therefore, filial piety and respect for teachers are the only tools to develop self-nature.

bodhisattva ksitigarbha even made a big wish: hell is not empty, and it will not become a Buddha, and all beings can prove Bodhi only when they have done their best. May he save all sentient beings, especially those who live in hell for a long time. Moreover, the Buddha gave the burden of saving all beings to the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha at the time of extinction. 5. Who are the four great bodhisattvas in China?

Four great bodhisattvas in China China Buddhism has four famous mountains, which are the Dojo of the four great bodhisattvas to educate all beings and represent the characteristics of Buddhism in China.

Guanyin Bodhisattva in Mount Tuo represents compassion (love), Diksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Mount Jiuhua represents great wish (filial piety), Manjusri Bodhisattva in Mount Wutai represents great wisdom (reason), and Bodhisattva in Mount Emei represents great achievement (implementation). Therefore, these four Buddhists have a very lofty position in the Buddhist circles in China. Even if they are not in these four famous mountains, they will be worshipped in the larger Dojo. Guanyin Bodhisattva with great compassion is not only a Buddhist, but also known by ordinary people. It is also the most famous, influential and popular bodhisattva in general folk beliefs.

In the Tang Dynasty in China, in order to avoid the taboo of Taizong Li Shimin, the word' Shi' was omitted and called Guanyin Bodhisattva for short, and they became accustomed to each other, so now people in the world are often called Guanyin Bodhisattva. After the Tang Dynasty, Guanyin Bodhisattva was often painted as a female figure, just like a loving mother, to show Guanyin Bodhisattva's compassion.

I hope to express the compassion of Bodhisattva to all sentient beings if they are pure children with maternal love. Therefore, there is no difference between men and women in the bodhisattva, but it is for the purpose of humanizing all beings. Therefore, in many stories of Guanyin Bodhisattva's induction, the bodhisattva is mostly shown as a woman, which is the induction of all beings' praying for selfless love, the symbol of Guanyin Bodhisattva's love, and the reason why the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva is mostly female.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is compassionate, and really can't bear the suffering of all beings. She always remembers to remove the pain and give happiness to all beings. The scripture says,' A good man and a good woman in the world, if they are in trouble and terror, will never be freed.' All sentient beings are suffering, so-called three sufferings, eight sufferings, infinite sufferings, and many sufferings are suffering. They are hoping for a kind of assistance and guidance without any additional conditions, and the Bodhisattva, with its equal, universal and extensive love, has won the belief and respect of the' universal view of the world'.

In the Shurangama Sutra, Guanyin Bodhisattva is praised by Manjusri Bodhisattva as the first of the twenty-five yuantong, because' this side is really religious and pure in sound and smell'. The sentient beings in the world of the Buddha are particularly keen in their ears, and it is easy to believe by hearing Buddhism or chanting Brahma.

In the fifty-three references of the boy with good fortune in Hua Yan Jing. Entering the Dharma World, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the twentieth good knowledge visited by the boy with good fortune. He made good fortune to fill the residence of the Bodhisattva in Luojia Mountain, and Guanyin Bodhisattva explained' Great Compassion and Practice the Dharma' for him. Hokkekyo Guanyin Bodhisattva's Pumen Pin, on the other hand, describes the bodhisattva Guanyin's efforts to relieve all kinds of sufferings of sentient beings at any time and anywhere.

Anyone who is in danger says the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva will immediately listen to her voice and go to rescue her. According to the statement that a wealthy boy visited the Bodhisattva Guanyin in Bufu Luojiashan in the' Fifty-three References' in Huayan Classic, China folk believed that this was the residence of Guanyin Bodhisattva in China, and it was named Putuo Mountain, combined with the many inductive deeds of the Bodhisattva in the East Zhoushan Islands of Dinghai County, Zhejiang Province.

After its inheritance, Putuo Mountain has become a holy place for believers to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. According to the same allusion, there is the image of' the boy worships Guanyin'.

Some people regard the boy who is good at money and the dragon girl and * * * in Hokkekyo as the assistant of Guanyin Bodhisattva. At present, the most common statue of avalokitesvara with thousands of hands and eyes, with thousands of hands representing magical powers and thousands of eyes representing wisdom, shows that the bodhisattva's eyes are at hand and has the ability to go to rescue at any time and place in response to the feelings of all beings.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's compassion is sincere and rational love, treating all sentient beings as their own children, caring for them with love and wisdom, which is the representative of both sorrow and wisdom.
