Is Jigong a Lohan?

& lt Jigong > The legend of Lohan is indeed one of the 18 Lohan headed by 500 Lohan, and the legend is the reincarnation of Khufu's Lohan.

There are indeed Jigong in history. Before becoming a monk, his surname was Li, and his ancestral home was Shangdang in Luzhou (now Changzhi, Shanxi). His great-grandfather was Li Chongju, Yuan Jing Wang of Longxi. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song family moved south, and Li Zunxu's fourth-generation grandson also moved south, moving to Tiantai and living in Yongning Village. Since the early Song Dynasty, the Li family has produced many high-ranking officials, many of whom have outstanding literary talents and martial arts. According to the "History of Song Dynasty", Li Chongju, the official of the calendar, was General Zuo Wei; Li Jichang, the general of Zuo SHEN WOO Army, is the secretariat; Li Zunxu, Xu, married Wanshou princess royal, the sister of Zhenzong, and awarded General Zuo Longwu and our time; Li, Ren Ningyuan army our ambassador; Li Duanyuan, Prince Taibao; Li Duan, AnDeJun stay; Li Ping, History of Yong Lian in Chengzhou; Li Juan, also known as Chongyang County, Ezhou. The Li family has a tradition of worshipping Buddhism and integrating Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism as its family origin. Li Chongju, Li Zunxu and Li Duanyuan are all eminent monks of Zen. Li Zunxu also wrote 30 volumes of Zen masterpiece "Tiansheng Deng Guanglu", which was written by Renzong and prefaced by himself. Ji Gong was born in Li Fu, Yongning Village, Tiantai. He grew up in Zhexi River when he was young, studied in Chicheng Mountain, and converted to Buddhism when he was weak. It is no accident that the Li family produced a well-known "living Buddha" to help the public. It is the combination of the profound Tiantai Mountain culture, the Li family culture integrating Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and the simple and honest folk customs of Tiantai Mountain that gave birth to the "living Buddha" of Jigong and the immortal culture of Jigong. First of all, Jigong is a human being, and he was born with it. It was his profound knowledge, great insight and magical and romantic events that gradually deified him as a "living Buddha". Walking into the former residence of Jigong, we should not only appreciate the architectural style of the former residence, but also understand the origin of Jigong's life experience. More importantly, we should understand that Jigong abandoned millions of wealth, resolutely became a monk, sought the fundamental truth of life in the universe, embarked on the spiritual essence of a road to saving the people and saving the world, understood his own state of "no self" and "seeing through everything", established correct life values, and did more things to serve the society and benefit mankind, with less suffering.
