Did Jigong monks really have that magical power in history?

Everyone should have seen the film and television drama about Jigong. Jigong in film and television dramas is always so magical that it can even be said to be omnipotent. So is there such a person as Jigong in history? Now I'll tell you something about Jigong.

In fact, in real history, there was a man named Jigong, and we can also know his common name before he became a monk. Jigong, commonly known as Li Xiuyuan, is fully reflected in the TV series "Living Buddha Jigong".

Li Xiuyuan in history came to Lingyin Temple after his parents died, and was worshipped by Master Hui Yuan and became a disciple of Master Hui Yuan. Master Hui Yuan named him Daoji, which is reflected in many film and television dramas. Because Daoji monk always eats meat and drinks, many abbots want to drive him out of Lingyin Temple. Only Master Hui Yuan saw the difference between Taoist monks and insisted on keeping him.

Therefore, the monk known as the "living Buddha" is real, but his omnipotent and miraculous skills in film and television dramas are fictional. Those are just the imagination and re-creation of future generations.
