Why did Fu Lin become a monk?

Manchu was the ninth son of Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty. Chongde was born on the 30th day of the first month (from 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm) in the third year of Chongde, and his mother was Zhuang Fei, the Empress of Xiaozhuang, Borjigit Yongfu Palace. Tiger, reigned in 1643- 16 1, posthumous title Titian Long Yunli was the Emperor Wen, the Emperor Dade knew benevolence, the mausoleum was called Xiaoling (Qing Dongling, Zunhua County, Hebei Province), and the temple was named Shizu.

In the 14th year of Shunzhi, Fu Lin began to contact monks and was immediately surrounded by them, becoming a Buddhist.

In the late autumn of this year, Fu Lin made a fortune in Nanhaizi, and was encouraged by eunuchs to go to Haihui Temple to make a fortune. In Lin Ji, he met the monk Han Pu of Longchi School, and they hit it off very well in language. Because he was interested in Buddhism, he summoned Han Pu at Wanshantang in Nanyuan on10.4, and then summoned him again and again to inquire about the old things of Buddhism in detail. He learned that many famous monks from Longchi School yearned for it. /kloc-In September of 0/5, Fu Lin sent an envoy to Huzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to invite the famous monk Yu Linyou to Beijing. Yulin tour was originally lofty and self-sustaining, but politely refused to be summoned many times and was rejected by the messenger. Finally, I reluctantly went to Beijing to meet the emperor in February of the following year. Although Fu Lin was deeply worried about Yulin Xian's negligence, he was completely moved by the Zen master after the meeting. Immediately, he was named "Dajue Zen Master" and regarded Yulin You as a Zen Master, calling himself a disciple and asking him to take a dharma name. Yulin Fairy dared not get up and refused again and again, but Fu Lin refused, and "used bad words". Fu Lin chose the word "Chi" and used the word "Xing" in Longchi School, which is the legal name. So Fu Lin called himself "Taoist Idiot", and later he had "Taoist who hides the dust", "lazy man", "Master of Taihe" and "Master of Tiyuanzhai". From then on, anyone who asked Yulin to give a warning or send a letter, Fu Lin was called disciple XXX. Yulin lived in Wanshantang for two months, but was asked by many people. He is a monk proficient in business. "Language is not as good as ancient and modern political gains and losses and people's ignorance, but he inspires the sacred heart with the first meaning." Never touch reality, only talk about Zen and metaphysics, which is quite different from Tang Ruowang. However, this comforted the young emperor. Fu Lin became more and more devout in Buddhism, and his desire to know more famous monks became more and more urgent. In April, Yulin Xian asked for the return, and Fu Lin gave him a yellow coat and a silver seal, and sent an official to return it, so that the messenger called Yulin Xian, a disciple of Yulin Xian, back to Beijing. At the same time, Fu Lin appointed Han Pucong as Mingjue Zen Master. On the recommendation of Han Pucong, Fu Lin sent an envoy to Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in March, one month before Yu Linxian left Beijing, and called Longchi to send another monk to Beijing. In July this year, Tunxi Hangsen was called to Beijing. From Yu Linxian's quotations, it is found that Tunxi Xingsen's poems are the best, especially the name Zhao. Fu Lin met Kuang Xisen at Wanshantang. During the Buddhist question-and-answer session, Fu Lin kept nodding his head, which greatly comforted his life. In September, Mu Chen Dao and his disciples Lu An and Xiaoshan Ben Xi arrived in Beijing this month.

The arrival of Mu Chenlong pushed Fu Lin's Buddhist belief to a new height. Mu Chenxiao is knowledgeable, brilliant, eloquent and sharp-tongued, and has won the admiration and respect of Fu Lin. Not long after he arrived in Beijing, he was made a master of Hongjue Zen and received an excellent gift. He was called into the imperial palace by Fu Lin from time to time, and Fu Lin said to him, "May the old monk treat me as an apprentice, not as a son." Mu not only has profound Buddhist attainments, but also has a unique and profound cultural background, which fascinated Fu Lin.

Due to the death of Princess Dong Hubei, Fu Lin fell into an inescapable confusion and was disheartened to the extreme. At this time, only Buddhist theory gave him something to trust, and then he became a monk.

At the turn of September and October, Fu Lin made up his mind to become a monk and was shaved by Mao Xisen into a bald son of heaven.

10 15, teacher Yulin of Tunxisen wrote to Beijing. When he heard that his apprentice shaved the emperor's hair, he was furious and ordered everyone to collect firewood and prepare to burn Tunxisen. Yulin Xian is much smarter than Mao Xisen. He approached the emperor to preach Buddhism, hoping that the emperor would play the role of supreme protector, and never wanted the emperor to become a monk and have nothing to rely on. His attitude is consistent with that of Mu Chenlong. Therefore, he advised Fu Lin to say: "If the law of the world is used, the emperor should always be in the right place, with the heart of the Virgin above and the inheritance of the people below;" According to the law of life, the emperor should always be the emperor of the king, the buddhas guarded by the Falun, and the residence of all powerful bodhisattvas. Fu Lin took his advice, made a promise and gave up the idea of becoming a monk. That month, Kuang Xisen left Beijing for the south to escape the war. Although Fu Lin is no longer a monk, he can't pull himself together.

From the beginning of Fu Lin's personal rule, he was ambitious and tried to revitalize the country. His politics was new, but he couldn't do it, which led to many contradictions and he was exhausted. Before his death, Dong Efei once said to Ao: "The old monk promised me to come for my birthday at the age of 30, so I can wait. Thank the monk (Yulin) for coming to make a wish for forty, and I will wait for him. " He has realized that he is skinny and exhausted, and it is difficult to "get along for a long time" until he is forty years old. He can barely live to be thirty at most. Now, after the fall of East Africa, his spiritual pillar has collapsed, and he feels that he is dying and can no longer support this magnificent Empire State Building. Probably because he didn't want his favorite eunuch to be behind him, he arranged for Wu to become a monk on the second day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (166 1). On this day, he came to Zhongshan Temple to watch becoming a monk. The night I came back, I contracted smallpox and had a high fever. He had a premonition that he was very ill and would be exhausted. On the sixth day of the sixth day, he called Wang Xi, assistant minister of does and bachelor of imperial academy, and Malki, a former cabinet bachelor, to hall of mental cultivation in the middle of the night to dictate the testamentary edict. And the horse retreated to the west screen under the door and wrote this poem on the first day of the seventh grade. "Every three visits must be decided by Qin, and it will be decided at the beginning of the day." That night, the 24-year-old young son of heaven passed away.

After the collapse of Fu Lin, Zi Gong lived in the Shouhuang Hall in Jingshan. On April 17, a cremation ceremony was held in Senbingju, who went to Beijing again. Yan Xisen's proverb says: "Sakyamuni's nirvana, the induction of heaven and man, the cremation of the first emperor, further." Will the public? Close the road in front of Shouhuang Temple. "After cremation, Bao Gong (urn) was buried in Malanyu, Zunhua to show filial piety. The ancestor of the temple, posthumous title Zhang, was respected by later generations. In the first year of Qianlong, it was added to 22 words: body, sky, dragon, transportation, unified construction, heroic spirit, Qin, culture, martial arts, great virtue, great virtue and pure filial piety.

Fu Lin's becoming a monk is just a folklore.
