Interpretation of the 274th Lohan in Biyun Temple

The name of the Lohan is "venerable Weide" and it is said that it is "Wangweide Bodhisattva", but there is no basis.

Although "five hundred disciples" and "five hundred arhats" are repeatedly mentioned in Buddhist scriptures, the names of five hundred arhats are not recorded in any Buddhist scriptures.

It's like the Diamond Sutra that says at the beginning, "There are 1250 people in Qian Qian in Big Monk". Obviously, the name of that person 1250 is not listed in the Buddhist scriptures, because it is not important.

What is said in the Buddhist scriptures must conform to four aspects, "three methods of printing, one actual printing":

All kinds of laws are impermanent (all laws in the world are in the process of birth, aging, illness and death, some are past, some are now mutated, some are now, and finally they are disillusioned in the future; It means that everything in the world changes rapidly, and nothing is static.

All laws have no self (in all inaction laws, there is no "I" entity); The existence of the so-called "I" is only a relative physical and psychological illusion)

Nirvana silence (the state of nirvana is to eliminate all the pain of life and death and do nothing, so nirvana is silent. It means a state of liberation from immortality and physical and mental silence.

One is the seal of truth: truth is the same, and it is separate from falsehood. "Reality" refers to the truth of all laws, including the five aggregates and eighteen realms. As for the truth of all laws, that is, knowing what they are and explaining what they are, Put Lolerk's remaining knowledge about equality and consciousness is incomplete, because his mind is limited. Bodhisattva, who just started to learn, can't know the reality of various dharmas, but can perceive them according to the wisdom of Buddha, and can also reach the reality of various dharmas.

It is called "seal" because these four French seals are the standard to prove the authenticity of Buddhism. Just like official documents in the world, the seal supervisor can confirm the authenticity of official documents, so it is called "French seal". If it meets the requirements, even if it is not said by the Buddha, it can be regarded as said by the Buddha; If not (for example, some people will forge Buddhist classics, such as Shousheng Sutra and Gaowang Guanyin Sutra. ), it is definitely unreasonable anyway.

Off-topic: If you know little about Buddhism, you can read this post and learn about real Buddhism-no worship of god-making, no mystery, no blindness and superstition. /thread-273 1070- 1- 1 . html
