The Historical Origin of Ciyun Temple

At the earliest stage when Buddhism was introduced into China, Shi Gao played an important role. In the process of Buddhism spreading to the east, Master Shi Gao's position and function were no less than those of the later founders of Buddhism.

Master Shi Gao is the eldest son of the king of an ancient country of peace. The surname is An Mingqing, with a high word. This man is extremely intelligent and highly learned. He knows 64 Sanskrit languages.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Master Shi Gao came to Genting Mountain to practice in the temple, translate Buddhist scriptures and teach Buddhism. Because of his great fame, even the newly appointed emperor Liu Bei sent his son Liu Chan to Genting Mountain to study. In the first year of Zhangwu, Liu Chan came to Genting Mountain to study Buddhism, music and writing. Seeing that he had made great progress, Liu Bei built the Tiangong Temple. Therefore, Ciyun Temple can be built because of Master Gao. Master Shi Pukong, a famous Buddhist monk, is the only Buddhist monk in China who is proficient in the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and bound by the precepts of the three religions. He has studied in Singapore, Myanmar and other places to promote Buddhism. Master Shi Pukong learned from Chen Yi and Taoist culture 197 1 year, and gained a lot of experience in Taoist culture. From 65438 to 0979, he began to study Confucian culture, and had his own unique views on Confucian culture advocating blood relationship, worldly wisdom, self-cultivation and moral rationality. 65438+6 In February, 0984, he became a monk in Ciyun Temple, Yunding Mountain, Jintang County, Sichuan Province. He learned Buddhism from Master Miao Zengda and has been practicing in Ciyun Temple ever since. Shi Pukong is an authentic descendant of Zen Lin Ji and Cao Dong, abbot of Ciyun Temple in Genting Mountain. He is currently a member of the Standing Committee of Jintang CPPCC and a director of Chengdu Buddhist Association.

Master Shi Pukong, with profound Buddhist attainments, has been studying Buddhist culture for many years and has never stopped. He is proficient in Zen, noble in moral character, respectful of life, approachable and kind to others. He has always adhered to the attitude of "being kind to others, being calm and indifferent, and facing life with a smile", pointing out the maze for people who go to the temple to worship, answering questions, and passing on the philosophy of life and attitude towards life to everyone with laughter, which has helped many people solve their confusion. He has been committed to promoting and spreading Buddhist culture and has made great contributions to the development and growth of Buddhism.

Master Shi Pukong not only studied Buddhism, but also made achievements in Taoist culture. Because he has studied Taoist culture for many years, he is also deeply accomplished in numerology and geomantic omen, and people from all walks of life often come here, including many celebrities in politics and business.
