The story about Guanyin Bodhisattva?

According to the records in the Chinese Book of Sorrow and Music, when Amitabha was the wheel of the holy king in the past, Guanyin Bodhisattva was the prince of the first king and was named "Buyou". (The following is the content after the vernacular)

At that time, after Bao Tathagata was awarded to the wheel king, Bu went up to the White Buddha from the prince and said, "Dear Lord, today I tell all sentient beings with a broad voice that all my good roots belong to three virtues and three bodhis (supreme consciousness). I hope that when walking the Bodhisattva Road, if all sentient beings suffer from all kinds of distress and terror, lose their faith and strength in pursuing Buddhism, and degenerate into a dark place without light, when they are physically and mentally upset, lonely, poor and miserable, no one can ask for help and protection, have no dependence and have no house. If he can remember me and say my name, the cry for help can be heard by my ears and seen by my eyes. Like all suffering beings, if I can't spare them all kinds of pains and troubles, I won't achieve the Buddha's fruit of three virtues and three bodhis. Dear Lord, today, for all sentient beings, I should launch the most extraordinary wish. I hope that if I become the wheel holy king (Amitabha), I will practice bodhisattva in the pure land and happy world of the west, after I enter nirvana, and even when Buddhism is still alive, to benefit all sentient beings. When the Buddhism of the Infinite Life Buddha was extinguished on the first night, I immediately achieved the supreme Buddha fruit of three virtues and three bodhis on the second night and continued to transform all sentient beings. "

At that time, Bao Fo immediately wrote a note for him, which read: "When you observe and remember the people in the heavens and all sentient beings in the three evil ways, you have great compassion. In order to cut off the suffering of all sentient beings and let them live in a stable and happy place, I will name you Guanyin today. After the Buddha with infinite longevity entered nirvana, the second Ganges sand and other monks only robbed him, and his land was renamed' Everything is Treasure'.

According to the records of Guanyin Bodhisattva and Daoda Moment Bodhisattva, Sakyamuni Buddha said: "In the past, monks only robbed, which is incredible. There is a world name' Infinite Virtue gathers blessings to report the present' and the Buddha name' Golden Lion Game Tathagata'. The purity and solemnity of this Buddhist land can't be described by words and praise. Where the Buddha was inspired by Buddhism, there was a king named Wade, who was the king of a thousand worlds. At that time, King Wade, in the view of his garden and architecture, went into samadhi meditation. Around the king, there were two lotus flowers gushing out of the ground. Two boys born in the lotus went to the Buddhist Temple with King Wade. They met the Buddha face to face and listened to his teachings.

At that time, two boys said,' All dragon gods, listen to my lion roar. Today, before the Tathagata, we made a big wish and made bodhicitta. The stream of life and death is endless, and the unknown (unavailable) is its source. In order to free a sentient being, the Buddhas have practiced Bodhisattva for countless times. What's more, it's only a few times now, and they can completely free all beings and practice Bodhi Tao, but they are tired and annoyed. If you are greedy from today, you will cheat all the ten buddhas. If you still feel guilty, stupid, polluted, greedy and jealous, that's the same. Today, I want to tell the truth and stay away from the hypocritical heart. If we are unwilling to get rid of the Bodhi Road of all sentient beings with a selfish heart from today, it is cheating the Buddha. We don't want to feel the holy fruit, not just to save ourselves, but to escape from all beings with great compassion in the trillion-dollar robbery. Just like today's Buddhist country, it is pure, peaceful, beautiful and solemn. May my country surpass this 100 billion times when I become a Buddha. Our country has no fame, no karma, only Mahayana Bodhisattva has bodhicitta, and its number is endless. All beings are clean and have the greatest joy. They were born in the law of knowing and seeing, and they will always hold all Buddhism. If our vows are true, they should shake the world. "

When the two boys finished this eulogy, the earth shook immediately, and hundreds of music gods and various musical instruments played harmoniously and elegantly. Bright and exquisite costumes fall from the sky, dancing, and the gods in the sky scatter all kinds of beautiful fragrances in the void like rain, which generally overflows and spreads, making all beings relaxed and happy. Was there anyone else there? That's me, Sakyamuni. At that time, the two boys were Guanyin Bodhisattva and Mahasa.

These two great bodhisattvas first developed Aunt Doro's bodhicitta in the place where the Golden Lion game came from. Amitabha will go through countless times before entering nirvana. After entering nirvana, the life time of Buddhism is equal to the infinite life of Amitabha. After Amitabha entered nirvana in the world, the number of sentient beings has been the same and equal. After Amitabha entered nirvana, some sentient beings could not see the Buddha, but if there is a bodhisattva who can read Samadha, they can always see the Dharma body of Amitabha. After Amitabha showed the degree of extinction, all the treasures of Elysium, the lotus flowers of various colors in the running water bath and all the trees made of many treasures still kept playing their voices, which is no different from Amitabha's personal statement.

After the end of the Buddhist period in Elysium, at midnight that night, before the light appeared, avalokitesvara sat cross-legged under the seven treasures bodhi tree, and achieved no enlightenment. It was called' King Buddha of Puguang Gongde Mountain'. Naturally, its Buddhist kingdom is composed of seven kinds of treasures, which are arranged and combined in various ingenious ways. The solemn and wonderful sight of its land and world, even if all the buddhas and gods have experienced the disaster like the Ganges, is inexhaustible. There is no such name in its territory, and it is purely a great bodhisattva with bodhicitta, which is all over the territory. The world name of this field is "All treasures gather solemnly". With the age of his life, King Tathagata of Puguang Gongde Mountain has learned that all bodhisattvas are close to each other and support each other, even when they enter nirvana. After entering nirvana, the bodhisattva who gained great momentum still held the dharma until the dharma of the Tathagata King in Puguang Gongde Mountain was destroyed. After the extinction of Buddhism, the great trend bodhisattva was here, and his achievements were not realized. The name is: "If you come to the king, your merits will last forever". Just like Tathagata, the king of Puguang Gongde Mountain, his land and the world, infinite light, infinite longevity, the number of bodhisattvas, and even the duration of Buddhism in the world are equal. "

As recorded in the above two classics, Guanyin Bodhisattva's original intention and virtue of absorbing the pure land and solemn Buddha country are no different from Amitabha's original intention. Therefore, the purity and solemnity of the land of becoming a Buddha is so extraordinary! Others, such as 32 kinds of imitative incarnations in response to the sufferings of all beings, 14 kinds of infinite magical powers that are fearless of all beings, and four kinds of incredible inaction, all have magical powers, which are skillful and convenient for extensive practice. The complete descriptions are like those in the Shurangama Sutra, Fire Eye Sutra and other classics, and now they are not all quoted.

The Sutra of Great Compassion also says that the Buddha is in Buduojia Mountain, the palace of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Duobao solemn Dojo. At this time, Avalokitesvara magnified the boundless world in ten directions, indicating that she lived in the Tathagata of Qianguang King before the infinite robbery in her previous life, and suffered from learning' Great Compassion and Great Darani' (Great Compassion Mantra). She immediately surpassed the first bodhisattva to the eighth bodhisattva, and she had thousands of eyes in time. Because of this great mercy mantra, no matter where you live from generation to generation, you must always be in front of the Buddha. Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva vowed: "If all beings can recite the great compassion mantra, and if they can't go to the pure land of Buddha, I swear I can't achieve enlightenment."

After Avalokitesvara finished speaking, Sakyamuni Buddha said to the public: "This Avalokitesvara Buddha has already become a Buddha in the past, and it is called' Buddhism Enlightenment'. Because of his great compassion, in order to arouse the bodhicitta of all bodhisattvas, to make all sentient beings happy and to achieve the cause of all sentient beings, he is still a bodhisattva. All of you must always support Guanyin Bodhisattva, and pay attention to the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so that you can get infinite blessings and eliminate infinite sins before you die. " According to this passage, we should know that those who respectfully support Guanyin Bodhisattva and call it Guanyin Bodhisattva's name as a way to return to Elysium, like those who have been offering sacrifices to Amitabha, can also die in the pure land. The blessings of the two are roughly the same, and the blessings and good roots are also equal. Please think it over.

The name of Guanyin Bodhisattva is mentioned in many Mahayana classics. In terms of teaching, for example, Cheng Youguang's Definition Sutra, Vimalakīrti Sutra, Guang Guang Prajna Sutra, Praise Prajna Sutra, Dabaoji Sutra 82, 100, Lengyan Sutra 6, Huayan Sutra 5 1 volume, etc. There are King Kong horror gathering Fang Guanggui's See Bodhisattva III as the Best King Sutra, Dalagni Collection Sutra, All Merits and Solemn King Sutra, Watching Pu Xian Dalagni Sutra, Bodhi's Word Top King Sutra, Dafang Guangman Tree Ten Miles Sutra, Big Sun Sutra and Thousand Lights Seeing Bodhisattva Secret Method Sutra.

Hua Yanjing said, "There are mountains in the south, whose names complement those of Luojiashan, and there are avalokitesvara. There is another cloud: "There are many sages on the sea, and the treasures are extremely clean. The fruit trees and forests in China are full of fragrance, and many streams and ponds are also well known. A brave husband is very comfortable. For the benefit of all beings living in this mountain, you should ask all merits, and he will show you great convenience. The lucky boy was taught to go south and gradually came to this mountain: "I saw its rock valley, the reflection of spring flow, lush forests and soft grass, put it in my right hand, and saw the bodhisattva sitting on a diamond gem, and the bodhisattva sat down, all sitting on the gem, respectfully surrounding and preaching the great compassion method." 」

Tang Sanzang Xuanzang's The Journey to the West also recorded: "On the south bank of Malakuta, there is a mountain with thorns, and on the east of Malaya, there is a Potalaka Mountain, with steep mountain roads and rugged rock valleys, and a pool at the top. Its water is as clear as a mirror. There is a big river around this mountain, which flows 20 times a week and flows into the South China Sea. There is a stone temple in the pool, and Guanyin Bodhisattva comes and goes. Some of them are willing to see the Bodhisattva, regardless of their lives, wading up the mountain and forgetting its danger, but few people can reach this mountain. However, if a person lives at the foot of the mountain and sincerely asks to see the Bodhisattva, then the Bodhisattva will either be in heaven at home or paint him with ashes to comfort this person and get what he wants. 」

(2) Luojiashan, Putuo, China

Putuo Mountain, one of Zhoushan Islands, is located in Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, China. The island is long and narrow and rugged. From south to north, there are Jinping, Guangyoufeng, Long Fu, Xuelang Mountain and Gu Qing. The highest is Baihua Peak in the north of the island, also known as Foding Mountain. There is an island in the southeast of the island, named Luojiashan, which is collectively called Putuo Luojiashan. Later generations gradually divided Putuo and Luojia into two mountain names.

Putuo Mountain became the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, one of the four famous mountains in China. The reason is recorded in Putuo Mountain Records: According to legend, after the Five Dynasties of China, in the second year of Liang Dynasty, in 9 16 AD, a Japanese monk visited Wutai Mountain and saw a Guanyin statue. He is solemn and respected, and does not ask for trouble to go back to Japan to support himself. Unexpectedly, when the ship crossed Mount Putuo, countless iron lotus flowers suddenly surged in the sea, and the ship could not move forward. So for three days and three nights, Wei Hui was in shock and prayed: "If the icon is out of touch with all Japanese beings, you should build a temple to support you along your direction." "Pray for the boat to go and stop at the edge of the cave in Yin Chao. Wei Hui got off the boat and landed with the statue of tuas. The fishermen on the shore were very moved by Wei Hui's explanation. Zhang's fisherman gave up his house so that monk Huihuan could live a quiet life. Renamed "Refuse to Go to Kannonji". " And this wise monk became the ancestor of Mount Putuo.
