Who is the Buddha?

A: Protecting Buddha is the salvation of Taiyi. Su Shi's "Shi Zhongshan Collection" has a cloud: "Don't look at things, just judge whether there is something!" Obviously, not at all. Who are the supernatural powers of these four immortals? The Analects of Confucius said: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools." . Don't worry, get to know it in detail first, because there is no right to speak without investigation. I guess I can't see it, so I can only trouble you to listen to the explanation from the cloud, but?

Taiyi saves the suffering Buddha, also known as the East Pole Qinghua Emperor and the South Pole Immortal Emperor, and is the left arm and right arm of the Jade Emperor. Living in Miao Yan Palace in Changle World, Tsinghua, you can extradite the victims and the dead. For those who have accumulated virtue, done good deeds and made great achievements, Taiyi saved the suffering and saved the gods, "riding nine lions to control the immortals and scattering all the treasures and auspicious light", paving the way for them to become immortals. The Buddha wears a headdress, summer clothes, Miao Dao and Zijin, sitting on the throne of nine-color lotus flowers, surrounded by nine green lions spitting flames. Surrounded by nine colors of divine light, it radiates radiant light. Fairy, Lux, King Kong, King of God, Golden Boy, Jade Girl and many other guards also hold water basins, poplar branches and bright lotus flowers.

"The Complete Works of Iron-making Pot Feeding in Xuan Ji in Qing Dynasty" contains: "Riding nine lions, holding willows and sprinkling nectar to save your life."

Taiyi, together with Zhu Ling's life-saving Buddha and Huang Hua's rocking Buddha, together with Ge Xuan Xianweng and Sashou Jianxian Weng, are called "Three Savers" and "Five Savers". It has three functions: judging immortals in heaven, seeking voices to save suffering on earth, and saving lives in the underworld. There are many incarnations of Buddha for Purdue, the most famous of which is Ten Ways to Save the Suffering Buddha.

In Taoism, Taiyi has a lofty position in helping the poor Buddha. At the meeting, the Buddha praised: the most respected and expensive, the most holy and the most spiritual. Taiyi saved the suffering of heaven, the essence of the nine yang, because it was an innate spirit from childhood and because of compassion, so he sympathized with all sentient beings and saved all the suffering a week before the robbery began.

Taiyi saved the suffering Buddha and the immortal emperor, the cosmic Buddha (that is, Wen Taishi), Leizu Emperor, Taiyi Tiandi, Dongyuan Emperor, Liubo Emperor, Hank Zhenjun, interviewed Zhenjun and called Chen Jiudi. It was transformed by the nine spirits of Buddha in the early Yuan Dynasty, and the generation of Heaven dominated everything with the company of nature. This god Abatti Giresse Concorde is the main god of the Sect. In the ghost novel Romance of the Gods, there is a famous Twelve Jinxian under the Buddha's seat in the early Yuan Dynasty, one of whom is Taiyi, a real person in the Golden Cave of Qianyuan Mountain. It is mentioned in the book that Taiyi is the leader of Wei Qing.

It is said that Xiao Yun mixed Yuan Jindou with Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, Pu Xian Zhenren, a kind-hearted Taoist and a moral true gentleman, Taiyi Zhenren, Lingbao Tairen Master, Fear Sun and Huanglong Zhenren: he brought all the twelve disciples into the array; Remaining burning lamps and children's teeth.

-"The Romance of the Gods" for fifty times

One of the three schools, Shangqing, Lingbao and Justice, originated from Tian and Qing Yu, hence its name. Taiyi Zhenren, the founder of Qingweijiao, is also a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun in Yuxu Palace. Many characters in the Romance of the Gods were created by Journey to the West. So this Taiyi deity is probably the prototype of Taiyi real person.

Zhenwu the Great, namely Xuanwu the Great, also known as the founder of Jiutian Demon Demon-Declining, is the full name of Xuanwu the Great in Arctic Town. In Taoism and folk beliefs, he is the god who guards the northern sky. His image is 100 feet long, his hair hangs freely in golden locks and armor, his eyes stand like lightning at the feet of five-colored turtles with swords, and beside him stand two tortoise and snake generals and the golden couple to record the merits and demerits of the Three Realms. According to "Tai Shang Lao Jun says that the Great Sage Zhenwu of Tian Xuan is a mantra", Zhenwu Emperor is the eighty-second incarnation of Tai Shang Lao Jun, born in the Heavenly Palace of Rhoda, and the son of Jingle Wang is better than the queen. The queen was pregnant after sleeping in the sun, and was born in Jingle Palace in the palace more than 400 years ago in October. When I grew up, I said goodbye to my parents and went to Wudang Mountain to study. After forty-two years of hard work, I ascended to heaven during the day. So the Jade Emperor wrote a letter and named Taixuan Town in the north.

There is a cloud in "Blessing Holy Mantra": Zhenwu Emperor is "the lunar metaplasia, the essence of water level. The virtual danger should be met, and the tortoise and snake fit together. Zhou Xing Liuhe, shocking the soul. "

Zhenwu is also Xuanwu, living in the north, and the north belongs to water. Therefore, Zhenwu Emperor belongs to water, which can control water and reduce fire, and rain is necessary for the survival of all things, so it is deeply believed by people.

Zhenwu Emperor ranks among the Four Saints of the Arctic, also known as the Four Saints of the Arctic and the True King. They are: Zhen Jun, Grand Marshal of Tian Peng, Zhen Jun, Deputy Marshal of Tianyu, Zhen Jun, Yi Sheng Bao De, Ling Ying You Sheng Zhen Jun ... Zhongtian and the North Pole are under the jurisdiction of Emperor Wei Zi. He was appointed to the north of Zhenbei by the Jade Emperor Buddha, and was also summoned by the Buddha at the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. Its duty is to subdue the demons of the Three Realms and capture the ghost of Du Feng, so that the evil spirits of the Three Realms can't harm living things. Zhenwu Emperor is the famous Jade Emperor among Taoist immortals. The main god of Wudang Mountain belief is Zhenwu Emperor, which is called "Zhenwu Emperor" in Taoist scriptures, or "Zhenwu Emperor" for short.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Judy, the son of Yan Wang Zhu Yuanzhang, launched the "Jing Nan Change" to seize the throne. According to legend, Zhenwu Emperor helped the Prince of Yan in the whole operation. Therefore, after Judy ascended the throne, Zhenwu was named as the "God of Arctic Town", and a large-scale temple was built in Wudang Mountain, and a huge Taoist building complex of Bagong and Erguan, Sanlian Hall, Seventy-two Rock Temple and Thirty-nine Bridges and Twelve Pavilions was built, making Wudang Mountain a world-famous Taoist holy place, and a "Golden Temple" was built on the top of Tianzhu Peak to worship Zhenwu.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva stands for mercy and compassion, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is also called Guanyin Bodhisattva and Guanzi Bodhisattva. In Buddhism, the four great bodhisattvas refer to Manjusri, Guanyin, Pu Xian and Dizang. Avalokitesvara takes compassion as its original wish and salvation as its purpose. According to Buddhist scriptures, avalokitesvara is the most important way to save the last days. Sadness is avalokitesvara, also known as avalokitesvara, which is the abbreviation of "South China has no compassion and great compassion to help the poor and save the vast number of inspired avalokitesvara Mahasa". The image is dignified and kind, holding a bottle of clean willow leaves, with infinite wisdom and miraculous powers. It is the most profound interpretation of Mahayana Buddhism's spirit of compassion and salvation, and occupies an extremely important position in Mahayana Buddhism and folk beliefs. The spirit of great compassion led by Guanyin Bodhisattva is regarded as the foundation of Mahayana Buddhism. According to the Buddhist scriptures, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the embodiment of Buddhism in the past, looking for the voice to save suffering on the boundless land. Guanyin has a special relationship with Amitabha, one of the three saints in the West. The so-called Three Saints of the West, also known as Amitabha, has Amitabha in the middle, Guanyin Bodhisattva on the right and Bodhisattva on the left. Amitabha is an infinitely bright life and merit. Guanyin Bodhisattva is merciful and compassionate, and Bodhisattva represents happiness. There is another saying that Guanyin Bodhisattva is the incarnation of Amitabha.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are four powerful Buddhists. Among them, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the first Bodhisattva in the Western Heaven, ranking higher than Arhat and second only to Buddha. "Prajna Heart Sutra" was handed down by avalokitesvara, who said: "After a long time of observing the Bodhisattva, I have gone deep into Prajna Paramita, seeing that all five aggregates are empty and all kinds of sufferings.

The predecessor of Guanyin Bodhisattva is the real person who is kind to the air in the Romance of the Gods. She is a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun in Yuxu Palace and one of the famous Twelve Jinxian. Dojo is located in Luojiadong, Putuo Mountain. Wanxian array broke Jin Guangxian's "Four Elephants Array" and took Jin Maohou as its mount.

Zhenyuanzi, also known as Zhenyuan Daxian, is also known as a gentleman who does not compete with the world. The Journey to the West is the founder of Xian Di, and the Dojo is located in Wuzhuangguan, Wanshou Mountain, Hezhou, Xiniu. Only the word "heaven and earth" is enshrined in the concept, and they are friends with Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Qing Yu yuanshi county Tianzun and Taiqing Moral Tianzun. They are old friends with the Jade Emperor, Tai Huang the Great in northern central Wei Zi, Gou Chen the Great who went to work, and Judy who was later. Jiuyao is the junior and guest of Zhenyuanzi respectively. This position is rare in The Journey to the West. Wear purple and gold crown, worry-free crane. Put on your shoes and tie a ribbon around your waist. The body looks like a boy and the face looks like a beauty. There are three beards floating under the chin, and crows overlap their temples. The monkey who greeted him was unarmed, so he only took the bluebird.

These four immortal big coffees are three roads and one Buddha, Xuanzi in Sandaoli Town ranks first, Taiyi saves the suffering Buddha and Zhenwu Emperor ranks second. Guanyin Bodhisattva only needs to compare the highland with Zhenyuanzi, and this ranking will come out. It's another contest between Buddhism and Taoism. It's really hard to be in the clouds! But it has always been thought that the three religions are one family. Judging from folk beliefs and status in the hearts of the world, Guanyin Bodhisattva is higher than Zhenyuanzi. Whether in real life or in film and television dramas, I often hear bodhisattva blessing or bodhisattva saving my life, and I often call Zhenyuanzi for help.

The Monkey King knocked down the ginseng fruit tree and went to the South China Sea to ask the Bodhisattva for help. Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Even the immortal in Zhenyuan gave him three points." . Let three points here is not a low three points or fear, it should be the humble rhetoric of Bodhisattva. The reason why Zhenyuanzi claims to be a gentleman in the world is because marigold belongs to Dan, and there is no need to save your strength and reconcile the power of dragons and tigers to grasp the hurdle and fill it. The immortals all want to fill the longevity field at the flat peach party of the Queen Mother, but the ginseng fruit is more precious than the flat peach of the Queen Mother.

Later, the Bodhisattva cured Zhenyuanzi's ginseng fruit tree with the nectar in the clean bottle of suet jade. Tang Priest is the reincarnation of Tathagata's apprentice, Jin Chan. Zhenyuanzi was given tea by Jin Chan when he was at school in Yulan, so he was called an old friend. Orchid Club is a grand event held by Tathagata, no less than the flat peach party of the Empress Dowager, and all the participants are VIP immortals. However, no matter what qualifications the immortals have, they are lower than the Empress Dowager on the Flat Peach Festival. Similarly, the big coffee attending the Orchid Festival is not as high as the Tathagata. Therefore, although Zhen Yuanzi is very close to the four emperors of Sanqing, her position is under the Tathagata.

It is said that the status of Bodhisattva is second only to that of Buddha, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is the head of Bodhisattva, and it is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva used to be a teacher of Buddha, so the generation of Guanyin Bodhisattva should be above Zhenyuanzi. Therefore, the rankings of these four big coffees are: Guanyin Bodhisattva, Zhenyuanzi, Taiyi Salvation Buddha and Zhenwu Emperor. With the ranking of status, let's take a look at the four big coffees. Who is the best?

Taiyi saves the suffering Buddha, also known as the founder of the Nine-Day Demon-Defeating. What is nine days? Legend has it that there were nine days in ancient times, also known as "nine days" or "nine days". In other words, the Buddha protected the whole heaven and maintained its peace and tranquility. Demons born in the sky are naturally more powerful than those born on the ground. The Buddha can subdue the demons in heaven, which shows that his magic is extraordinary. Under the seat of Nine Spirits Sheng Yuan is a true spirit who has been practicing Taoism for a long time. He shouted, "Up to the Three Sages, down to Jiuquan." . The Buddha said that idleness would not hurt life, and Tang Priest was caught in the wandering cave of Jiuqu by Sheng Yuan, a nine-spirit, and the Monkey King was helpless. Therefore, the implication of the Buddha's idleness is that the Monkey King is no match for Sheng Yuan, which means that the Monkey King is just an idler. Taiyi saved the Buddha from suffering and was the founder of evil spirits in heaven. Sheng Yuan, the nine spirits, naturally followed the evil spirits of the Buddha. Another Taiyi Buddha who saves suffering, like Guanyin Bodhisattva, saves all suffering beings and can be transformed into ten Buddha statues, including all things in the world. In The Journey to the West, Taiyi only subdued nine lions and saved the suffering Buddha, and did not show any powerful magic weapon and means. However, Sheng Yuan, who can subdue the Nine Spirits and sweep away the demons in heaven, can't be underestimated in his own magic.

If Taiyi's predecessor is Taiyi's real person, then all the disciples under the seat of the Buddha at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty are not idle people, and they can all be booked in advance by the God of Heaven, which naturally has extraordinary spiritual power. After sealing the gods, although the whereabouts of other immortals were not explained clearly except for three great scholars, the final destination was definitely not low.

After the Four Saints tried Zen, Tang Priest and his disciples came to Wuzhuang to observe. The Monkey King, egged on by Pig Bajie, stole the ginseng fruit and was scolded by the cool breeze and bright moon in the view. Monkeys make trouble in heaven, and Huaguoshan is king. He has never suffered such humiliation. In a rage, he overthrew the Linggen ginseng fruit tree on earth with 13500 Jin of wishful golden hoop. Zhenyuanzi came back from giving a lecture at the beginning of the Milo Palace. With a wave of his sleeve robe, he took all the Tang Priest and his disciples away, and the monkey could not escape.

The children of Sanshan Island asked for help everywhere, but they couldn't. Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva saved the fruit tree with manna and willow in a clean bottle of suet jade. Bodhisattva's willow once went into the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, and then it can still die.

The Bodhisattva said, "I clean the nectar at the bottom of the bottle so that I can be a fairy sapling." "Have you experienced it?" Asked the monkey. The Bodhisattva said, "Experienced." . "What experience do you have?" Monkey asked. The Bodhisattva said, "In those days, Grand Priest won a bet with me. He took out my Yang Liuzhi, put it in the blast furnace, burnt it, and then returned it to me. I put it in a bottle. After a day and a night, I got green branches and leaves, just like before. "

-Journey to the West, the 26th time.

In The Journey to the West, Guanyin is the chief person in charge of obtaining scriptures, and it seems that her power is second only to that of Tathagata. This method of treating ginseng fruit trees alone is superior in mana. Bodhisattva Purple Bell riding a golden hair roar once said that ten Wukong could do nothing. In addition, Guanyin Bodhisattva is a kind-hearted person who "seals the gods" and once participated in the famous "Wanxian Array" campaign. Regardless of the past life, the mana seems to be above Zhen Yuanzi. With a wave of his sleeve robe, Zhenyuan Daxian the Monkey King's seventy-two changes also gave in easily. He must have some magical powers, but Taiyi saved the mount of Bitter Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and there was nothing the Monkey King could do. In fact, it is not Zhenyuan Daxian who is famous, but his ginseng fruit tree. The ancestors of the so-called Xian Di also benefited from this tree called Linggen. It is also with this fruit tree that Zhenyuanzi flourished in the Three Realms. From the realm of practice, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Taiyi saved all sentient beings, while Zhenyuan Daxian found no other service except a fruit tree that bribed all the immortals to "open up the territory" for himself.

Finally, look at Zhenwu the Great. Why put Zhenwu Emperor last? Because Zhenwu Emperor and Marshal Tian Peng are listed as the Four Saints of the Arctic, as we all know, Tian Peng Yuan Shuai is the second brother and Bajie, both generals of the Jade Emperor. Zhenwu Emperor is only guarding the Arctic side, which obviously cannot be compared with the top three. Of course, Zhenwu Emperor also subdued the demons of the Three Realms and photographed the ghost of Du Feng, so that the Three Realms did not dare to hurt the living beings. However, it seems to be a lower level than Taiyi's nine-day rescue Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva's rescue of all beings.

Zhenwu Emperor and Marshal Tian Peng are the same level, and Tian Peng is the younger brother of the monkey, so the same Zhenwu Emperor can't compete with the monkey. And Zhenyuan Daxian can catch monkeys, and his mana is naturally above Zhenwu Emperor.

If Taiyi's predecessor is Taiyi real person, and Guanyin Bodhisattva's predecessor is Cihang real person, then from the perspective of "sealing the gods", the three great heroes are the strongest among the twelve golden immortals, and both "Wan Xian Array" and "Wan Xian Array" are the first to go out, so Guanyin Bodhisattva's mana is greater than Taiyi's saving Buddha.
