In medieval Japan, how powerful were the Yin and Yang teachers?

In medieval Japan, powerful people in the division of Yin and Yang claimed to be able to manipulate ghosts and gods with spells. In the first year of Emperor Ji, there was a national drought in Japan, and Minister Su Yi Xia Yi was very busy with it. The emperor ordered the students to read the Mahayana Sutra in various temples, repent, worship the three treasures in front of the temple, and each of the princes, princes and qunqing will spend one person to meet in the fast and fast the meat of cattle, horses, chickens and dogs.

In his later years, Emperor Wudi issued a letter to all countries: "Every family builds a Buddhist temple, places Buddhist scriptures and offers sacrifices, starting from the sixth day of the month." Probably in the Tianwu Dynasty, Buddhist temples and monks and nuns all had this practice. After the house was built, the daughter of Noko recovered. Therefore, Jian Ye praised Liang Wudi's daughter for raising her, and later wholeheartedly assisted Emperor Wu of Heaven to worship Buddha.

After the death of Emperor Tianwu, Jian Ye Zanliang dressed in the emperor's clothes, sewed robes, donated 300 monks and cooked meals at the funeral. Rice refers to rice without fish. This is the beginning of the vegetarian diet at the funeral. The emperor's daughter, who believes in Lang Zanliang, held a nude meeting in Daguan, Feiniao, Kawahara, Ohara, Feng Pu and Sakata. These are the big temples near the Bird Palace.

Bird Temple is Yuanxing Temple, also known as Pure Earth Temple. Chuanyuan Temple is in the riverside palace of Emperor Qi Ming. On the deathbed of Emperor Wudi, officials below the Prince came to this temple to pray for the recovery of Emperor Wudi. Feng Pu Temple in Oharida was originally built by Suwo Mimu in the original Dojo, and became a formal temple when pushing the ancient emperor. Bantian Temple was originally built by Sima Da and others to promote Buddhism.

In addition, after the death of Emperor Wu of Heaven, the court also allowed the closure of Guiyong Temple, Dawa Temple, Qing Temple and Jushi Temple. Although there are many large and small Buddhist temples near Niaojing, during the reign of Emperor Zhi, the imperial court further promoted Buddhism, gave alms to Samoans in times of peace, presented hundreds of copies of the Golden Light Classic to other countries, and spread Buddhism to Da Zhu Addo, inviting the city-raised shrimp, dried shrimp, fatty, ancient Ma Lu and Tiezhe to be Samoans, and presented their Buddha statues to the more Tibetan Samoans.

Two years after Xiangzong was introduced to Japanese Emperor Wu Wen, Emperor Wu Wen appointed monk Hui Shi as a monk, Zhiyuan as a young monk capital and Hongshan as a lawyer. These posts should be commanders of monks and nuns and advisers to major policies. At first, Zheng Zhitong, a monk of Emperor Tianwu, entered the Tang Dynasty in the Qi and Ming Dynasties, and returned to China after studying Faxiangzong with Xuanzang. Zhitong promotes Faxiangzong in Japan.

Tao Rong of Tang Priest prayed for rain several times and wrote a Sanskrit poem. During the Wu Dynasty, Daorong was still healthy. After that, the monk Yuan entered the Tang Dynasty, followed the well-known secret of Buddhism, and spread Buddhism after returning home. In December of the second year of Wu Wen, Wu Wen praised the knowledge of Yiyuan Garden and gave him ten thousand strings of rice. In the third year of Dabao, Wu Wen appointed Yiyuan as a monk. In this way, Faxiangzong was promoted vigorously.

Monk Daozhao is the son of Lian Huichi, a native of Danbi County, Hanoi. Four years after becoming a monk, Daozhao sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to Chang 'an, and he also studied Faxiangzong with Xuanzang. Xuanzang appreciated Daozhao very much and said to Daozhao, "I used to go to the Western Regions, and I was hungry halfway, so there was no village to eat. Suddenly, a shaman handed me a pear in my hand, and I grew stronger after eating it.

You are a shaman with pears. "Xuanzang also taught that" the purpose of Confucian classics is profound, so it is impossible to completely exhaust its significance. Learning Zen is carried forward in East Japan. " Therefore, Daozhao learned to meditate, and learned a little more at first. When Daozhao returned to China, Xuanzang took out Buddhist relics and scriptures and gave them to Daozhao. Tao Zhao thanked him and cried goodbye. After returning home, Daozhao built a Buddhist temple in the corner of Yuanxing Temple and lived there.

Since then, many people have studied Zen. Later, Daozhao traveled around the world, dug wells by the roadside and prepared ships and bridges at various ports, which provided many conveniences for people. Daozhao has traveled for more than twelve years. After Emperor Zhitong summoned Daozhao, Daozhao returned to Yuanxing Temple and lived in the original Buddhist temple. Wu Wen died in March of the fourth year at the age of 72. Emperor Wu Wen sent envoys from China to offer condolences, and according to Daozhao's wishes, Daozhao was cremated in Kurihara.

Cremation began at this time. Two years later, in the second year of Dabao, Taizong died. According to the will of Emperor Tongzhi, in the third year of Dabao, Emperor Wu Wen cremated Emperor Tongzhi in Princess Niang. Since then, cremation has become a routine. According to Japanese records, Daozhao's construction of Ujibashi was actually Daodeng's mistake. "Stone Carving on the Bridge" records: "There is a stone, which is famous as Daodeng and comes from Yamazaki Huiman's family. He was two years old and built this bridge to help people and animals. "

It is said that Ujibashi's bridge stone still exists in Uchi Changguang Temple. According to the Japanese paranormal, "Dao Deng, a Korean student, is a Saman from Yuanxing Temple and comes from Huimanjia, Houshan. Ujibashi was built in the afternoon of the second year of Dahua. When we came and went, there was a skeleton in the Nara mountain stream. We were very sad to see people and animals stepping on it. Dowden asked his followers to put the skeleton on the tree. On February 30th, that year/KLOC-0, someone came to the temple gate and met Lv Wan, saying that although he was cared for by Dade, he could not repay his kindness tonight.

The man accompanied Lv Wan to the house. Entering the house, the man put more food. At the end of the evening, Lv Wan suddenly heard a male voice: "My brother who killed me is coming, go quickly." Lv Wan was surprised and asked some questions. The man said,' Once I made a deal with my brother and got forty taels of silver. My brother was jealous and killed me to get the money. People and animals stepped on my head, and my great compassion saved me from suffering. I want to repay you tonight. "

At this time, the man's mother and eldest son worshipped the spirit. Lv Wan came in. They were surprised and asked why Lv Wan had come. Lv Wan told the story in detail. The mother scolded her eldest son:' Well, if you kill my beloved son, there will be no thief.' Provide food for thousands of couples. Lv Wan came back to tell his master the situation. The master said that the necromancer's bones are still so, not to mention the living, how can you be ungrateful? "This originally belongs to the paranormal phenomenon.

Japanese Epiphany was compiled by Samana Nara in the middle period of Hong Ren and recorded as an anecdote of Daodeng. Xuanzang went to Tianzhu and accepted the Faxiangzong Sect. Faxiang Sect is also called only knowing Sect. Xuanzang began to publicize Faxiangzong only after he returned to China. Tao Zhao entered the Tang Dynasty just to personally accept this method. Then Zhitong and Zhifeng promoted Faxiangzong. Although Zen is a major of Taoism and Zhao, it also started from this time.

At first, the Vimalakīrti Classic annotated by Shoto Kutaishi was one of the classics of Faxiangzong. When planning to kill the Su family, he vowed to build a statue of Sakyamuni, put the statue of Sakyamuni in Taoyuan, and held a Vimo meeting. Probably because Buddhism is boundless, as Xuanzang said, believers naturally fell in love with it. In the fifth year of Qingyun, Bubi Fujiwara hired Zhifeng, a monk, as a lecturer in Taoyuan Jingshe, and asked Zhifeng to host the Vimalakīrti meeting for 17 days.

Soon, the imperial court moved its capital to Nara, moved its capital to Taoyuan Jingshe, and built Xiaofu Temple. Joy finally became the great Galand of Faxiangzong. Magic and Buddhism In Japan, except Buddhism, magic dominates religious thoughts. The recipe is very complicated. Japan respects God and worships Buddha, and believes in God, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Confucianism has Yi, Yin and Yang, and Wei. In addition, there is Taoist magic.

Investigate its source, this kind of magic is also mixed with Indian thoughts. Based on convenience, Buddhists and monks accepted all thoughts such as alchemy and educated the people. There are many practices, methods and taboos related to alchemy in secular society. The origin of Yinyang Road is not clearly recorded. During the Qin Ming period, Yi Wu was introduced to Japan. When TuGuHun, Guan Le introduced Party A's escape art to Japan.

China revered immortals since ancient times. Immortals are as sacred as the west. "Fairy", as its name implies, refers to the alchemist who lives in the deep mountains and practices monasticism. In Japan, there were immortals or saints as early as the spread of Buddhism. People can often find places where immortals practice in the deep mountains. In many cases, alchemists can also talk about Buddhism. Last year, I boarded the Luohan Temple in Xiemaxi, Qianfeng County, and found that the temple was built according to the natural grottoes.

As early as the period of Emperor Qi Ming, there were immortals living and practicing here. As a place for immortals to cultivate, there is a bronze Buddha in the local area, about eight inches in size. Judging from the workmanship, it should be an antique from Tibet or India. It is conceivable that there are many immortals with similar heads and many sites. During the Fujiwara dynasty, the most famous immortals were soldiers.

Among the immortals, active servicemen are the most knowledgeable and are called the ancestors of practicing Taoism. A walker refers to a practitioner, that is, a person who goes into the mountains to practice. For three years, the court exiled its servants to Izu. Soldiers live in Gemu Mountain and are famous for their magic. At first, I was taught by five believers from Guangzu, South Korea. Later, South Korea was full of envy of talents, falsely claiming that the active serviceman used witchcraft to confuse people.

The court expelled the soldier. It is said in the world that the servants are good at exorcising ghosts and gods, making them carry water and cut wood. If ghosts and gods don't obey the servant's orders, the servant will bind them with spells. According to the Japanese History, this soldier was honored as the founder by Xiuyan Road of Xianzong and Tantric Sect. It can be seen that the status of warriors is very high. In the minds of believers at that time, there were many supernatural deeds of serving the walkers.

According to Biography and Ancient Biography, "The excellent servant girl is a member of He Maoyi's official family, a courtier's family in Gaojian, and a native of Maoyuan Village, Yamato Gemu County. She is knowledgeable and versatile, and she believes in the three treasures. " Among Buddhist laymen, the male is called Youposai and the female is Youpoyi. Then Biography and Ancient Biography wrote: "After absorbing the spirit of keeping in good health, the servant in his thirties moved to a cave, ate pine, bathed in clear spring water, washed away secular dirt, practiced peacock charm and proved his wonderful skills to exorcise ghosts and gods."

That is to say, from the weekend to the early Han Dynasty, the practitioners practiced the magical powers praised by China people, and they also learned the Indian Peacock King mantra to drive away ghosts and gods in order to feel at ease. Generally speaking, in medieval Japan, when it comes to immortals, people imagined that immortals lived in the mountains, flying freely and elusive. Powerful people in the division of Yin and Yang claim to be able to manipulate ghosts and gods with spells.
