Dharma Overview 明旸法师 7404Words 2018-03-20
The precepts of Buddhism are called Vinaya.It is a school of Chinese Buddhists who specialize in precepts.It is an extremely serious requirement for Buddhist disciples in terms of life and thought. Why did the World Honored One establish precepts?As mentioned in the Vinaya, the Buddha established precepts in order to protect the Dharma so that he can live in the world for a long time.However, the formulation of precepts is established in response to the discovery of evil behavior in the Sangha. If there is no evil behavior in the Sangha, there is no need to restrain the precepts. For example, the six groups of monks who were born in the Buddha's family often colluded together to destroy the Sangha. .Devadatta colluded with Wendado, Qiancha Dapoli, Kaliulatishe and others to split the Sangha.There are also twelve groups of bhikkhunis, who are known as "evil bhikkhunis who do not protect their dignity".

Therefore, the reason why the precepts are formulated is to eliminate afflictions and approach the goal of Buddhist practice - Nirvana.The so-called samadhi is born from precepts, and wisdom is born from samadhi. Through the practice of the three inexhaustible teachings of precepts, samadhi and wisdom, we can eliminate the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance, cut through delusion and prove the truth, and complete Buddhism.Another reason is to maintain the discipline and purity of the Sangha.Therefore, among the precepts, some are formulated to prevent afflictions and evil deeds, while others are formulated to prevent social criticism.The former, such as killing and stealing, are also prohibited by general social laws, while the latter, after the Buddha established the precepts, will only start to be guilty if they do not abide by them, such as not drinking alcohol.This is also the precept of emphasizing sex and the precept of ridiculing and disliking the world in the Nirvana Sutra.The reason for each precept is to be more specific, such as the ten benefits described in the precepts: 1. Taken from the monk; 2. Make the monk happy; 3. Make the monk happy; To increase growth, six, difficult to adjust, seven, those who are ashamed can find peace, eight, stop the present leak, nine, stop the future leak, ten, let the righteous Dharma live for a long time.It is not difficult to see that among the ten benefits, the first, second, third, sixth, and seventh are for the stability and development of the Sangha; the fourth and fifth are for maintaining the credibility of the Sangha; the eighth and ninth are for the elimination of monks. troubles, to reach the ideal state of Nirvana; the tenth is the law of self-respect.During the forty-nine years from enlightenment to Nirvana, the Buddha restrained the precepts due to events, and spoke randomly. When he was about to enter Nirvana, he even said to Ananda: "If you don't see me enter Nirvana, you will say that the Dharma is here forever. Absolutely, what is the reason? I used to prescribe precepts for the bhikkhus and all the wonderful methods that I taught, even if you are a great master, as I am alive, there is no difference."The Buddha also gave an analogy and said: It is like a person encountering light in darkness.Just like when a person is poor, he gets a treasure. (Volume II of the Great Nirvana Sutra).Lawyer Tang Daoxuan said in the "Preface to the Four Parts of the Law": "The king of the world is the most important, and the sea of ​​​​people is the most important. Among all the laws, the Sutra of Precepts is the most important. The Tathagata established the precepts and recited them half a month and half a month."From this we can also know that the precepts and the Buddha himself have the same status. In the future, it is not the Buddha himself who will lead the sect, but the precepts; as long as the precepts live in the world, it is as long as the Buddha lives.Otherwise, "if you can't keep the precepts, you will be in the same house thousands of miles away; if you can keep the precepts, you will be in the same house for a hundred generations" (see "The Sutra of Relics"). Legacy and precepts.According to the tradition in the south, the first collection is the dharma treasure recited together in the collection in Rajagha City, which is Vini and Tanmo.Vini is Vinaya, which is translated as law; Tanmo is Bodhidharma, which is translated as Dharma.Among these two Dharma collections, it is the first to gather the Vine, which is the Vinaya, and Upali, who is the number one upholding the Vinaya, is the lord, replacing the Buddha who leads the people to preside over the assembly business, and asks Upali about the various items of the precepts. .Upali responded to the questions, and answered (recited) one by one the time, place, cause, match, rule, violation of precepts, and so on.The 500 people, who recited all the answers together, decided that he was made by the Buddha, so the assembly of Vini was completed.Then Ananda, who was the most knowledgeable, was the seat of honor and assembled Tanma.From this we can know that after the Buddha's Nirvana, the disciples of the Buddha also followed the Buddha's legacy regarding the precepts, and regarded him as a master, and according to the southern tradition: the second gathering after the Buddha's Nirvana is the Vaisali meeting, It is also held for the gathering of Pini.In short, Buddhism is built on precepts. Precepts are the foundation of Buddhism, and other studies of concentration and wisdom are its superstructure. If this foundation is not solid, then Buddhism will be greatly affected.

(1) Five Laws Among the disciples of Sakyamuni, the one who is most proficient in Vinaya is the Venerable Upali. When he assembled the Vinaya for the first time, he recited the fundamental Vinaya system eighty times, and then passed it on to Kasyapa, Ananda, Shanna and others. There are five great venerables, such as Sumita Zhi and You Pofuta. There are five great disciples under Upa Wuduo’s sect. During the eighty verses, they collected them according to the laws close to each disposition, and established one part for each, making five parts in total. This is the so-called five parts. the origin of the law.Its five parts are: (1) Tan Wude Department. (2) There are many departments of Sapphire. (3) Misha Sai Department. (4) Kasyapa's remains. (5) Five divisions including Posufulo Division.

According to the "Great Collection Sutra", it is a hundred years after the Buddha's extinction, and the differences between the two divisions of the public and the seat are based on the "Shariputra Inquiry Sutra", "Manjusri Inquiry Sutra", "Three Thousand Prestige Instruments Sutra", " Sutras such as Yijiajing and Yibu Zonglun Lun are said to have happened more than a hundred years after the Buddha died; then, the divergence of the five disciplines was earlier than the divergence between the public and the two divisions of the Buddha. Here are the general outlines of the five laws:

Tan Wude Department: Tan Wude was originally the name of a bhikkhu, and he was one of the five great disciples of Upa Wuduo.Tanmolong, Tanmod, Tanmoqudaka, Tanmolongduo, etc., all belong to the same person but have different translations.Based on the law collection of Theravada, he collected the law that suits his own wishes and wrote it down, and divided it into one part as soon as he said it: after the four readings were completed, he divided it into four folders, so he called the law he collected. It's called the law of quarters.This kind of division is not based on the principle but based on the four collections at that time, which are divided into four sections, the first section contains twenty volumes, the second section contains fifteen volumes, the third section contains fourteen volumes, and the fourth section contains eleven volumes. volumes, a total of sixty volumes. "Jingbenshu" said in the first chapter: The Buddha has been extinct for a hundred years, and the famous teachings of this place have been revived. According to legend, the masters collected all the essentials, and those who agree with their own opinions, collected them into one part, and passed on the text four times, explaining everything, so it is divided into four . "

Also, one of the first one of "Zi Chi Ji" said: "Using the Fa to rectify (Tan Wude) the venerable, in the root department, follow your own pleasure, collect and write, and stop as you say, all scriptures will be written four times, and one chapter will be completed." , so it is called Sifen, which is not the same chapter and sparse, and the text is written according to the meaning. The so-called Sifen Luzong is Tan Wude Luzong, which says Tan Wude is the founder.And it was mastered by Daoxuan lawyer in Tang Dynasty.Moreover, because the "Four Parts Law" is popular in our country, we only talk about the Law School in our country, that is, the Nanshan Law School, which is the final result of the development of the Tan Wude Department.

Sabata: Most people say that the originator of Sabata is Venerable Kajanyan, who is the son of Mahakajayan, who is the most talked about among the top ten disciples of the Buddha. On the second part of "Theory of Wisdom", it is said: The Buddha has been extinct for a hundred years, King Alunka held a panja at the Se Conference, and the great masters discussed it. Therefore, there are other names. After reading all the scriptures inside and outside the Tripitaka, and wanting to understand Buddhism, he pretended to write "Fazhi Lun Baqiandu".According to "Three Discussions on Xuanyi", it is said that from Kasyapa to Sleeper Ke, there has been no difference for two hundred years. At the beginning of three hundred years, when Kazhan Yannizi was born, it was divided into two parts, one is the disciples of the upper seat, and the other is the Sapo. many.Saba Duobu is a Sanskrit name, which is translated as saying that everything has a department, and it is abbreviated as "Youbu". , and explain the reasons one by one, so it is called "the department of saying everything" and "the department of saying the cause".The theory of developing wisdom and six legs belongs to the important classics of this school.The law code of many departments of Sava is "Ten Chanting Law", a total of sixty volumes.It was translated by Fruodoro in the later Qin Dynasty, and there was also a translation of "Savadovini Biposha", which has nine volumes and is also an important code of Savaduo.

Mishasai Department: Mishasai (translated into a broad interpretation) is the name of a bhikkhu, and one of the five great disciples of Upa. He holds the twelve sutras of the Tathagata, recites, reads and writes, does not make the appearance of the earth, the appearance of water, fire, and wind, and the appearance of space, so it is called Mishasai.It is also stated in the "Shipiniyi Note": The name of the Misha Sai, this person meditates deeply, studies the profound decrees, and wears a green cassock.He also said: Mishasai, this cloud broadly interprets the meaning, and it is also called non-existence and non-existence, and the name of the Dharma is five points.Therefore, we know that the basic law of the Mishasai tribe is the five-part law. In my country, there are 30 volumes translated into 20 law books of the Zhonghua Dibu.The so-called "Huadibu" said in Xuanying "Yinyi" 23: Huadibu, in the third hundred years, came from all the departments.The Sanskrit sound Moke 醯贵衣, also known as Mixi Sheshake, this cloud place is also the place of teaching, or the place of righteousness is also the name of a person.But this arhat, in the common sense, is the teacher of the kingdom, transforming the land, hence the name Huadi, but now he has entered the Buddhadharma, the Buddhadharma is like the earth, and he transforms it, so it is named.The Mishasai Department, which was later called the Huadi Department, is a department that does not exist without form, so it occupies a very important position.

Kasyapa Division: Kasyapa is also one of the five great disciples of Upahudo. These five disciples have different opinions on the Vinaya of Buddhism, so that the Vinaya is divided into five parts. What is combined is one of these five parts.In the "Da Ji Sutra" 23, it is recorded that the Buddha's prophecy said: After I am Nirvana, all my disciples will receive the Twelve Sutras from Tathagata, write, read and recite them, saying that there is no self, but the recipients will be free from all troubles. It looks like a dead body, hence the name Kasyapa.According to the so-called Kasyapa, it is a different translation of Kasyapa’s leftovers. Xuanying’s "Yinyi" said in the third chapter: Kasyapa, Yiyun Kasyawe, Yiyun Kasyapa, Yiyun Keshibeihe, this cloud drinks light Department, this part of the law, there is no text in this land, the fundamental law of Kassapa’s remnants is the law of liberation. In our country, there is only a precept book, which is the same as the five-part law, but there is no law.Therefore, "Jingshu" says in the first chapter: Kasyapa, this cloud emphasizes the concept of emptiness, and the Dharma name is liberation. There is only the precepts, which are the same as the five-part law.As for the personal introduction of Kasyapa, there is a passage in the "Shipiniyi Note": "The name of Kasyapa's survivor. This person is diligent and brave, saves all living beings, and wears a Mulan cassock." When our country first translated this When referring to nouns, it was originally translated according to the doctrine held by Bhikkhu Kasyapa. Its translated meanings are "contemplation of emptiness" and "understanding the emptiness of all living beings", rather than the correct translation of a person's name. This is what we should know .

Pocha Fuluo Department: It also says that Pochu Fuluo, Pochu Fuluo (translated as calf), is named after the head of the department, and its law is the abbreviation of "Sangye Law", which is the abbreviation of "Moco Sangye Law". It is one of the five laws, which is the Vinaya of the Dazhong Department. According to the first two of the "Zi Chi Ji": "Guyun Moke monks, this time the public, follow the crowd in the name, that is, outside the cave."Since the death of the Buddha, for the first time, scriptures and precepts have been gathered inside the cave and outside the cave. Those gathered inside the cave are Theravada, and those gathered outside the cave are called Dazhong.The so-called law of the public, that is, the law of the monks, was followed by the Duzi tribe later. "Moke Sangye Law" has a total of forty volumes. It was translated by Master Fa Xian, an eminent monk of the Jin Dynasty in my country, and Buddha Bhadhara, a master of the Tripitaka of India.There are also the "Bhikkhus Precepts" and "Bhikkhuni Precepts" of this law. The "Bhikshu Precepts" was translated by Buddha Bada alone, while the "Bhikkhuni Precepts" was jointly translated by Master Faxian and Juexian. Now they are stored in the Buddhist scriptures of the Tripitaka.

(2) The Eastward Spread of Law Teaching. Buddhism was introduced into my country during the Yongping period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty (58-75 A.D.), the Indian eminent monks who settled in Luoyang with white horses carrying scriptures - She Moteng and Zhu Falan were the first.However, at that time, the event was a preliminary creation, and the precepts had not been passed on. From the 10th year of Yongping to the first year of Cao Wei Jiaping (AD 67-249), this is not a short period of time, and no precepts were held. Yes, and from the death of Duke Tenglan to the first year of Jianhe (147 A.D.) of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, almost all Indian monks who came to China seemed to have disappeared.After this, great virtues such as Zhilou Jiaqi, An Shigao, Zhu Foshuo, Anxuan, Zhiyao, Yan Fodiao, Tan Guo, Kang Mengxiang, Zhu Dali, etc. came one after another. held. The first transmission of precepts in our country was initiated in the mid-Jiaping period of Cao Wei (AD 249-253) by the Venerable Tan Majialuo who came from Central India to Luoyang. unadorned garments, but without the observance of the law.Seeing this, the venerable was deeply concerned and vowed to promote the law, but due to various obstacles, it was in vain for 21 years.It was not until the second year of Wei Shaodi Jiaping (250 A.D.) that he was able to fulfill his wish and personally translated a volume of "Monk's Precepts" as a textbook. He urged ten great Buddhist monks to establish the Karma method, and established the ten This is the precedent of the monk's transmission of precepts, which is the beginning of the law of giving and receiving precepts in our country. The precepts handed down during the Jiaping period were based solely on the translation of the "Sangye Precepts" translated by Tan Ma Jialuo and the "Kama" translated by Tandi Sanzang. Therefore, the precepts passed down in our country actually adopt the "Four-Part Law".However, for the "Sangyin Law", it is also followed along, and has not been restricted. In northern my country, in the sixth year of Yao Qinhong's reign (AD 404), Master Kumarajiva translated the fifty-eight volumes of "Ten Chanting Law". Only then did the sixty-one-volume "Ten Chanting Law" be completely translated.In the twelfth year of Hongshi (AD 410), Buddha Yashe, Zhu Fonian, etc. translated "Four Parts Law" in five times.In the fourteenth year of Yixi, Emperor An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (418 A.D.), Faxian obtained the "Sangye Law" from India, and Juexian Sanzangshou translated it, with a total of forty volumes.In the first year of Song Yingyang King Jingping (AD 423), the Buddha even translated 30 volumes of "Five Parts Law".Then, among the five laws, three were introduced to our country before Liu Song.In the first year of Dingwu (543 A.D.) of Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the rest of Kasyapa's relics began to translate the volume of "Jieben".The so-called "Liberation Precepts", Guanglu has never been translated.At that time, various laws promoted each other, but only the "Four Parts Law" was carried forward by future generations. During the time of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 471-499), there was a lawyer named Fa Cong, who first studied the "Sengyelu" and later intensively studied the "Four-Part Law" of the Tan Wude Department. Lectures, focusing on promoting "Four-Part Law", but they are all just dictation, and have not been published in bamboo slips.It wasn't until Daofu lawyers that he made a commentary, and it was just a question and answer to make a decision.After lawyer Huiguang, there began to be chapters and books, and he developed a style of four-part rule, book, book, book, book, book, book, book, book, book, book, and book. 1. Four volumes of Guangtong Shulue.Second, Zhishou Guangshu twenty volumes.3. Ten volumes of Fa Li Zhong Shu.These three essentials were commonly used at that time, so someone set up nine patriarchs for the four-part law school, and the nine ancestors were: 1. The Venerable Fazheng—that is, the four-part law master.2. Venerable Fashi - the first ancestor of the Four Divisions of the Law School in our country.3. Lawyer Fa Cong - the ancestor of the first opening.4. Dao Fu Lawyer - Make a short question and answer to establish justice.5. Lawyer Huiguang——to make four chapters.6. Lawyer Daoyun.7. Lawyer Daozhao.8. Lawyer Zhishou——Twenty volumes of Guangshu.9. Lawyer Daoxuan—three volumes of four-point banknotes. Among the Nine Patriarchs, starting from lawyer Daoyun, another school appeared. Under Daoyun's sect, there were two talented disciples, Hong Zun and Dao Hong.Hong Zun passed on Hong Yuan, Hong Yuan passed on Dharma, and Dharma passed on Taoism.Under Daocheng's sect, two people returned, namely Yiyi and Huaisu.If you are satisfied with living in the west tower, you will be able to promote the Law of Xiangbu, and if you live in the east tower, Huai Su will become the law of the East Tower.This kind of transmission, under the teaching of the law of four divisions, is divided into two schools - the law of Xiangbu and the law of Dongta. Then from the seventh patriarch, Daozhao lawyer passed on Zhishou, Zhishou preached Daoxuan, Daoxuan lived in Zhongnan Mountain for a long time, and became the Nanshan Luzong, this clan has been passed down for a long time, and it is still the same today. Therefore, although Daoxuan lawyer is one of the former nine ancestors The Ninth Patriarch, later the Law Sect prospered and spread, and he was actually called the Venerable Master of the first great ancestor of the Nanshan Law School! When Huai Su wrote "Four Parts Laws Kai Zong Ji" to break the law and strengthen the righteousness of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Lawyer Ding Bin, a disciple of Satisfactory Lawyer, wrote another volume "Breaking Myths and Obsessions", in order to get rid of Huai Su's obsession. The righteousness of the ambulance law.Satisfaction is the teaching of the Dharma, and the transmission of the Dharma is short-lived.Tan Yi talked about "Four Parts" thirty-five times.Tan Yihong Xiangbu and Nanshan Law School, and Yu Daoxuan's "Xingshichao", once wrote "Fazhengji" to expound its righteousness and make Nanshan Law School prominent in later generations. The meritorious service of Kaiji should really be attributed to For the short-lived. (3) Nanshan Luzong From the previous section, we can see that when the law was first introduced in our country, it was a miscellaneous of four laws, and there was no law as the central criterion. ", in order to establish the life norms of Buddhists, and gradually established the central law of our country.Because lawyer Daoxuan lived in Zhongnan Mountain for a long time, it is called Nanshan Luzong in the world, and it is a unique school in our country.There are as many as more than 100 writers who commented on the "Acting Notes" written by lawyer Daoxuan. Zhongnanshan Daoxuan lawyer, (596-667 A.D.) was born in Dantu, with a common surname of Qian, and his father was Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Chen Shi.He knew how to compose poems at the age of nine. When Sui Lang started Buddhism, he became a monk at the age of fifteen. He became a monk the next year and was trained by Yi Huizhen in Riyan Temple in Chang'an.At the age of nineteen, he received full precepts from Master Zhishou in the Great Zen Temple. After listening to the precepts with the wise teacher, he studied the "Four Parts Precepts" for many years, thus laying the foundation for precepts. Lawyer Daoxuan often goes to study everywhere, claiming to be "a teacher who lives in impermanence, chasing thousands of miles is as close as he can be; only the law is the law, and the Guanhe River is like a reed".In the seventh year of Wude (AD 624), he lived in Zhongnan Mountain and lived in the Baiquan Temple of Zhanggu. He practiced Dinghui for more than ten years. In the past, he was a scholar of Bozi Guangxue, and thirty years later, he was engaged in the writing of laws and sects.Such as "Jie Tu Sutra", "Kama", "Hongming Collection", "Shimenyi", "Guixinyi", "Continued Biography of Eminent Monks", "Preface to Hongchuan of the Lotus Sutra" and more than 200 volumes.In the 21st year of Zhenguan, he lived in Fengde Temple in Zhongnanshan and wrote three volumes of "Newly Deleted Four-Part Precepts" and "Four-Part Bhikkhu Combined Precepts".Many of the Law School works of Taoists mainly explain the Hinayana Laws according to Mahayana teachings.The Taoist believes that although the "Four Parts Law" belongs to the Hinayana first, the Mahayana principles also apply.So we in China can carry forward and follow the righteousness. During this period, an altar of precepts was built. Suddenly, a monk with long eyebrows came to the altar to talk with lawyer Daoxuan. This one is Venerable Bintoulu. Another three-goa Nahan Buddhist monk came to the precept altar and praised: "After the Buddha passed away, he lived in the world of the elephant, and the one who raised the Vine is the only teacher."In the second year of Emperor Qianfeng's reign, he felt that heaven and man came to talk about the precepts of the Law School and correct the mistakes of the ancient translation.During the Zhenguan period, he often lived in seclusion in Yunbao Mountain, Bizhou, and was served by Tiantongzi. When he walked at Ximing Temple at night, he moved the northern king of Bishamen to send Prince Nachi to present the tooth of the Buddha for preservation and worship. Lawyer Daoxuan made great contributions to the history of Buddhist literature. He once participated in the translation field of Master Xuanzang. Lawyer Zhisheng of the Tang Dynasty said to him: "External knowledge and nine streams, internal refinement and three studies, abstaining from incense and fragrance, calming water and clearing wonders, preserving and protecting the Dharma City , writing endlessly." (Quoted from "Kaiyuan Buddhist Records") He never leaves his clothes all his life, eats only vegetables and peppers every day, walks with a stick, and sits without leaning on the bed.The master kept the precepts well, and it was widely spread in the Western Regions. He passed away on the third day of October in the second year of Qianfeng (AD 667), at the age of seventy-two.Three pagodas were built in the stone room of the altar valley.There are more than a thousand disciples, and the name of the tower is Jingguang.Tang Gaozong bestowed the title of Chengzhao lawyer.The paintings and images in temples all over the world are worshipped and worshiped by the government and the public, so the Nanshan sect has become more popular. Up to now, monks and monks have taken the "Four-Part Law" as a model for practicing.In short, this "Four Parts Law" is really the fundamental basis of Law School. The most outstanding disciple of Lawyer Daoxuan was Master Jianzhen (688-763 A.D.) who practiced Nanshan law in Yangzhou and taught one party.Later, the law sect was passed on to Japan, and gained the belief of the Japanese emperor at that time, a temple was built in Nara, and an altar was set up to pass on precepts.He divided the precepts into two types: stop holding and doing holding.Sustainability is the non-liberation precept that monks and nuns require not to do all kinds of evil.To uphold is to ask monks and nuns to live in peace, to say precepts, to repent, and so on. Therefore, the Nanshan Luzong became an original creation of our country. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, after a religious disaster and the collapse of the Five Dynasties, the Luzong, like other sects, was showing a decline.But in the Song Dynasty, lawyer Yun Kan wrote "Xing Shi Chao Hui Zheng Ji", and lawyer Yuan Zhao wrote "Xing Shi Chao Zi Zhi Ji", which greatly promoted the law, and the declining Nanshan Lvzong revived and prospered.In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, although the tradition of Nanshan Luzong was not interrupted, it cannot be compared with the model of the predecessors, and there are so many classics that it has lost its existence, so it shows a trend of decline. Until the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Gu Xin, a lawyer in Nanjing, hiked to Mount Wutai, saw Manjushri Bodhisattva in the clouds, and taught him precepts, which made Gu Xin realize the Dharma of Mind and Earth, and regarded the laws of Mahayana and Mahayana as if they flowed from his chest.So he returned to Jinling, opened the precepts at Linggu Temple, and revived the Lvzong.Guxin's Dharma heir, Samadhi lawyer, set up a Taoist temple in Baohua Mountain, seventy miles southeast of Jinling, and began to establish the door of the Nanshan Luzong. There are two famous disciples, namely lawyer Xiangxue and lawyer Jianyue.Seeing Yue inheriting the Buddhist seat of Baohua Mountain, Xiangxue immediately went to Tianning Temple in Changzhou, all of them were in Dahong Luzong. Later, Yue Chuan Ding'an, Ding'an Chuan Songyin, Song Yin Chuan Min Chuan, Min Chuan Zhenhui, Zhenhui Chuan Wenhai, led the Baohuashan faction one after another, so that they did not lose their scale.In the thirteenth year of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, Wenhai was specially ordered to enter Beijing. The chairman of Dafayuan Temple was ordered to open the three altars. Since then, it has branched in the north, and is no longer limited to the south, but has become nationwide.Lawyer Wenhai has presided over the precepts for thirty years, and he has had precepts apprentices all over the world, numbering more than one hundred thousand. The Nanshan Law School relies on its great prosperity.During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Baohua Mountain was greatly damaged, and it was rebuilt afterwards. The precept altar is always open every year, so it can continue the Buddha's wisdom.However, Nanshan Zhenmai once lost its three major volumes. It was not until the end of Qing Dynasty that layman Xu Weiru invited him back from Japan and republished it in Tianjin's engraved scriptures. However, there were many mistakes, which made the students daunted. Therefore, Hongyi Master, surnamed Li, surnamed Shutong, was a great scholar at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and later became a monk. His dharma name was Hongyi, and he made a great vow to devote his whole life to studying the precepts and protecting the Nanshan Law School. In the past 20 years, he has spent almost every day in the collection of laws, researched and explored them, carried them forward deeply, and made a collection of precepts for a period of time, which greatly spread the sea of ​​monks and popularized the four congregations, making the laws of Nanshan widely known. Therefore, Master Hongyi has become a figure who has made great contributions to law education in modern times. The "Four Parts Law" promoted by the Nanshan Law School does have its special predestined relationship in our country. It overwhelms other laws and shines alone, and has become the center of Buddhist laws in our country. This is purely created by Daoxuan lawyer. results.He made major reforms to the "Four Parts".The nature of our society and our inherent culture is not just for self-satisfaction, but for all sentient beings. However, most of the laws belong to the Hinayana, that is, the law of four divisions is no exception.However, the meaning and function of the "Four-Part Laws" are common to Mahayana; lawyer Daoxuan did a lot of work on "Four-Part Laws" to make it a Mahayana law. Lawyer Daoxuan also made a great contribution on the other hand. He integrated and judged Shakyamuni's teaching method into chemical teaching and system teaching.Reforming education belongs to the theoretical aspect, while systematizing education belongs to the practical aspect.Huajiao is to enable people who study the teachings to understand all the meanings of the Buddha's scriptures and believe in them, and from the power of faith to enter into the method of calm wisdom; The precepts established by the Buddha can also achieve the purpose of attaining liberation through the realization of concentration and wisdom, just as the Confucianism in our country said: "Li prevents before the end, and dharma prohibits after the end".However, Confucianism only has the negative meaning of "prevention" and "forbidden", while the teachings of Buddha's "transformation" and "control" not only have the effect of self-control, but also have the positive effect of altruism . Because of the above two items, it can be seen that lawyer Daoxuan has made a great contribution to Buddhism in our country.
