Kumarajiva is a monk through the ages. Why did he marry twelve concubines when he should be spotless?

Because Kumarajiva was so excellent at that time, and his understanding of Buddhism was far behind, everyone wanted to keep his clever offspring, so they forced him to take a wife and concubinage. Kumarajiva is a famous monk through the ages. He is the originator of translation studies and a master of linguistics. Because he is proficient in Chinese and Sanskrit, his translation of Buddhist scriptures is very easy to understand and contains profound meanings.

When Kumarajiva was born, a fortune teller told his fortune. He thinks he will succeed in the future. If he were king, he would unify the world. If he were a monk, he would become a Buddha. When I was five or six years old, I became a monk with my mother. Because I was born smart, I had my own understanding of Buddhist classics. So everyone respects him. Later, when I grew up, I wanted to visit Chang 'an. Because of an accident on the road, he was trapped in Xiliang until he was 32 years old.

At that time, there was a saying on him, that is, the one who got the pigeon won the motorcycle won the world, so many people wanted to leave his excellent offspring, so they forced him to marry and take concubines, and finally broke the lust caution, because his ideal was to become a Buddha, but he could not become a Buddha if he broke it. So he taught Buddhism with peace of mind and translated Buddhist scriptures. After he came to China in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he began to translate many Buddhist scriptures. Because he is proficient in two languages, his translation of Buddhist scriptures is accurate, rich in content, fluent in language and elegant in writing, which has greatly appreciated by many Buddhist believers.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, after more than ten years' efforts, the general manager * * * helped China to translate more than 300 volumes of Buddhist scriptures, which became a major event in the history of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Kumarajiva devoted his whole life to Buddhism, and even when he died, he was still obsessed with Buddhism, which is an example that we should learn and respect.
