Ma Yu

Ma Yu, whose real name is Congyi, is a descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Fu Bo in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, due to the mutiny of the Five Dynasties, the clan moved to Ninghai (now Shandong Province). He was born in a wealthy family, and he was gifted. When his mother Tang was pregnant, she dreamed that Ma Gu gave Dan a pill. When I was a child, I often recited the words Beyond the Dust, but I was better at writing as an adult. Li Wumeng, a Taoist priest in Kunyu Mountain, saw Ma Yu's appearance and praised him as a great fairy with "three mountains on his forehead and his hands hanging down his knees". He also praised him: "He has an open figure, a round face and long ears, fine eyes, a straight mouth, a good lover and a bright top." "Sun Zhongxian, a famous local family, betrothed his daughter Sun Fuchun to him because he cherished Ma Yu's talent.

Compared with Wang Zhongyang, who plays the fool, Ma Yu's life situation is very different. Although Wang is brilliant and skilled in martial arts, his career is not satisfactory. He only worked as a small official in Shaanxi, so he was unhappy and drunk. He indulged in love and squandered money all day long, only to arouse the resentment of his family. Suddenly my heart was broken and I met a fairy in Ganhe, so I decided to abandon my wife and prevent my son from becoming a monk. On the contrary, before becoming a monk, Ma Yu's family was rich and valued money over righteousness, which won the trust of the villagers. He is an official in Fushan County, Shandong Province, and he is very proud of his career. His relationship with his wife is also very harmonious, and he has three sons, Tingzhen, Tingrui and Tingjue, which can be said to be a happy life. At this time, the only worry in his mind was that once he dreamed that two pigs called for help, but it was too late to save them; The warlock Sun Ziyuan divined this matter and said that his life span would not exceed forty-nine. He sighed and said, "Life and death are not in people, so why not get close to people who have a way?" So he not only set up a Taoist pavilion where cranes flew in at Night Dream Home, but also invited Taoist Lu to preside over it, and often interacted with Taoist people such as Gao Jucai and Zen Master.

Before becoming a monk, Ma Yu had some power, but under the disguise of secular wisdom, he inevitably felt lonely. Time flies, and when he is no longer in his prime, he begins to indulge in drinking. 11In the autumn of' 67, when drinking with friends and war lords, he wrote a poem saying: "When you hold Yuan and keep one, there is no slacker today. The cup is full of thoughts all day, but there is that person to help you when you are drunk. " After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Zhongyang came all the way from Zhong Nanshan and told him, "It's not far, but I'm here to help the intoxicating people." Hearing this, he mused and immediately asked the king, "What's your name?" Wang replied: "(Tao is) the five elements are not everywhere, when parents are not born." He suddenly realized something, so he invited Wang Zhongyang to live at home. The name of this buddhist nun is Quanzhen.

Wang Zhongyang is shouldering the mission of "crossing the seven realms" and has traveled a long way in order to make Ma Yu, who has both a career and a family, abandon the customs and enter the Taoist temple. Wang Zhongyang tried his best and performed some well-known stories to transform Ma Yu. 1 167 10. In October, he locked buddhist nun for 100 days and asked Ma Yuri to give him food. At night, he entered Ma Yu's dream to warn him of the suffering of heaven and hell. And gave Ma Yu and Sun Shi pears and chestnuts, suggesting that husband and wife must be separated. Ma Yu described his dream in his book Epiphany Collection. Volume I also said: "The founder of Chongyang was lured by many parties and finally had a love for mountaineering. Suddenly one night, the dream stood in the atrium and sighed: My life is like a delicate porcelain bowl, which will break into pieces if I miss it. Before I finished speaking, I fell from the empty bowl and began to cry. The next day, the teacher said, you were scared last night. I realized it. " The same volume "Awakening" said: "I dreamed that my wife called me mom, and she also called me a woman when she loved my concubine. Because I was ignorant in my previous life and ignorant in my heart, I became a couple. 」

After dreaming more, he decided to jump out of the pain of this cycle of life and death, so he gave all his assets to his son Tingzhen and others, divorced his wife Sun Shi, and sent his granddaughter-in-law the expectation of becoming a monk. He said: "I advised Sun Gu to build a road, and it will only sweep her heart forever. Killing three corpses costs six yuan, which is worry-free. 」

11In the first month of 68, the lock was unlocked for a hundred days on the Double Ninth Festival, and the Taoist name and dharma number were sought. This year, Ma Yu was 46 years old, not far from the life expectancy predicted by the warlock.

11February, 68, there were four people under the door of Wang Zhongyang in Quanzhen Hall, including Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi. They followed their ancestors to Xia Yan Cave in Kunyu Mountain. At this time, Ma Yu suddenly had a headache and was driven down the mountain by her father for treatment. He recorded the real situation at that time in the second volume of "Chongyang Enlightenment Collection". Wang Zhongyang wrote: "Danyang lives in Xia Yan Cave in Kunyu Mountain. Because his heart is not dead, he feels sick and suffers from migraine. The pain is unbearable, like a kettle. The more painful it is to let him go down the mountain and adjust at home. Someone went up the mountain to report, and when someone came, Mr. Ma was already in pain. Hearing this, he clapped his hands and laughed and said, I'm here to become an immortal, and I'm willing to teach it to death. Because he didn't believe it, he felt sick. 」

Wang Zhongyang believed that Ma Yu was infected with this disease because of her infatuation with the secular and unbelief. He blessed Dharma Water and gave it to Ma Yu. After drinking it, he cured his illness and sent a message: "All mortals should give up drinking, lust for wealth and climb up to love and worry. Besides, there is no good medicine. " But after this incident, the founder took Ma Yu as a fool and avoided it. /kloc-in October, after Ma Yu burned the affidavit, we met again in Wendeng.

1 168 to169, Wang Zhongyang established Qibao, Jinlian, Sanguang, Yuhua and Pingping five clubs in Ninghai, Laizhou and Dengzhou, and Ma Yu's wife Sun Shi was in1/kloc-0. The founder's name is unique, and the number is static. In October of the same year, he and his four disciples, Ma Yu, Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji, went west to the capital of song dynasty (now Kaifeng) and lived in the Wangs' house. 1 170 In the first month of the year, before Wang Zhongyang went far, he taught Ma Yu five secrets, saying, "Danyang has learned the Tao, and I know it, so I have no worries." . Ma Yu made a vow at this moment: "I want to publish the collected works of Quanzhen Master, I want to be obedient to Master for three years, and I want to persuade ten parents to abandon customs and cultivate immortality. These three wishes were later realized in the "Zuting" of Liujiang Village.

1 174, one moonlit night, Ma Yu and three friends sat in front of Zhenwu Temple (Shaanxi Province) in Qin Dou Town, expressing their opinions. Ma Yu said that fighting poverty, Tan Chuduan fighting yes, Liu Chuxuan fighting vigor and Qiu Chuji fighting leisure. At this time, Zisi seems to have reached an agreement to develop sects in different ways. The next day, Ma Yu returned to his ancestral home and went to his ancestral home. He didn't go out until 1 178.

Ma Yuju banned his practice in order to get rid of extravagance and purify his mind. The furnishings here are very simple, only a few couches, pen and ink stones and sheepskin, but nothing is left. He goes barefoot, doesn't light candles, eats a bowl of porridge in the morning, a bowl of noodles at noon and doesn't eat after noon. This kind of life goes on day after day, and as a result of long-term asceticism, his body is very weak. 1 178, I went out from my ancestral home to Huating, coughing and vomiting blood, and I was seriously ill. In his book "The Collection of Caves". Volume 8, it is recorded: "I went to Huating in the west, lived in caves, and occasionally vomited blood and coughed. The oath of illness came very tightly, and many Taoist friends gave medicine, but they all admired it and dared not taste it. It is also said that eating raw onion vinegar can detoxify it. Think twice, Taoism is sick, others can't cure it, and we want autonomy. " During this time, Ma Yu has broken her life and death, and she is happy with it. Therefore, when the so-called dispatch incident occurred in 182, that is, the Jin Dynasty issued a decree to send the Taoist priests who had not been dispatched back to their hometowns, Ma Yu also complied with his destiny and returned to his hometown in the East.

After a long time, the old man Ma Yu also became a grandmaster and was welcomed by old friends and fellow villagers. Like the afterglow of the sunset, it exudes beautiful luster. Everywhere I went, the popularity was overwhelming and thunderous, which aroused a fanatical channel boom. When Wendeng and Zhiyang were the two main cities, the villagers listened to the advice and burned the boat nets, and the strange landscape of Haicheng's heavy buildings appeared. In the 22nd year of Dading (1 184), Ma Yu entertained herself, singing and dancing, and seemed very happy. The next day, the master reported that Sun Xiangu died in Luoyang, Henan. Ma Yu went on to say that he was singing and dancing the night before, because he saw Sun Xiangu accompany Yue Xian back to the sea in colorful clouds.

1In September of' 83, Ma Yu was seated in Wenshan North Third Hall, and Taoist Wang came with a xylophone. He began to write "Cao Gui Shan" to show his intention of returning to the truth. Song Yun:

If you can't do anything, you can do anything. You can be ignorant and omniscient.

If you know this, who won't do it. For this reason, who knows.

The wind is rustling and the leaves are flying. At the top of my lungs, the geese return to the south.

The world dies, and the sun and the moon urge it. I want to die when I am old, but I am still greedy.

It hurts the world and the soul wants to fly. I'm dying and my heart wants to be destroyed.

It's hard. It's human nature. Refers to the castle peak, when the early return.

On a green night, the moon flies. The green hills are clear, and the bright moon returns.

Eat summer food when you are hungry and drink when you are thirsty. Isolated, people don't know.

Know nothing, do nothing. If this heart is destroyed, it will be repaired.

Heaven suddenly has a pair of imperial concubines. I'm in the third house. I swim in purple.

On December 22nd of the same year (1 184), Wang Zhongyang, the founder of the school, visited the Fairy Palace in Laiyang and talked with his disciples at night until the second watch. Suddenly it was stormy, and he encouraged his disciples: "I'm going to the fairy society today, and I'm going home to be a happy fairy." If you want to become immortal, you need to practice hard, and be careful not to flinch when you encounter thousands of demons and difficulties. "Say that finish, sit up and die.

Among Wang Zhongyang's disciples, Ma Yu has the deepest understanding and the fastest. While compare that differences, my broth Qiu Chuji said, "I have a shallow understanding with Danyang, so I have a late understanding. Danyang will realize death, so it will be fast. I realized that everything was illusory, so I got this word. If you want to know silence, it is like a strong beam dying. As for death, how can there be a strong beam? If you realize the illusion, you won't die. If you have something else to do, you will be late. 」

Ma Yu, Sun Buer, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong and Wang Chuyi were successively taken as disciples to establish Quanzhen Sect. After receiving seven disciples, they were later called Quanzhen Sect Seven Real People. Ten years later, he and his disciples Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan and Qiu Chuji returned to Guanzhong and died on the way to Kaifeng. Buried in the old temple of Liujiang Village in Zhongnan (now Anzu Town, Huxian County, Shaanxi Province).

Wang Zhongyang advocated the equality of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and the unity of the three religions, and put forward the theory of "the three religions have always been one ancestor". In Quanzhen religion, the Tao Te Ching, the Filial Piety Sutra and the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra are all required readings. It is believed that cultivating the mind is to cultivate the mind, get rid of feelings and desires, and peace of mind is the real shortcut to practice. Therefore, Quanzhen Taoism does not advocate symbols, and there is no alchemy. In October of the ninth year of Dading, he returned to the west with his disciples Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan and Qiu Chuji, and died in Daliang (now Kaifeng, Henan) in January of the following year. Buried in the old temple of Liujiang Village in Nan (now Anzu Town, Huxian County, Shaanxi Province).

Ma Yu (1123-1183), whose real name is "Yi Cong" and the word "Yi Fu", was born in Fufeng, Shaanxi Province, and moved to Ninghai, Shandong Province during the mutiny of the Five Dynasties. Legend has it that his mother Tang dreamed that Magu gave an elixir when she was pregnant with him, "It would be better to swallow it" [8]. When Ma was a child, he "often recited Yun Zhonghe language and ascended to heaven from a Taoist in his dream" [9], which seems to have long been destined to become a Taoist.

In July of the seventh year of Jin Dading (1 167), he came to Ninghai, Shandong Province, wearing a bamboo crown and leaning on a bamboo stick, and rested in the south garden of the famous local Confucian Fan family. Later, the horse followed, and the two of them "looked at each other and kept moving" [10]. After exchanging gifts, the two were "as happy as old" [1 1]. According to legend, when Ma was drinking in the Fan family, he once wrote a poem: "When you hold the yuan, you will keep one, and the lazy man will have none today;" The cup is full of thoughts all day, but that man helps me when I am drunk. When the Fan family met this time, Ma asked him where he came from and replied, "South China." . It's not far from 3000 miles. I'm here to help the intoxicating. "[12] Ma was quite surprised. The latter two "talked about metaphysics with each other, but didn't know it was windy at the table", so Ma "waited for the start" [13] and invited him to live at home. During Ma's residence, he officially played the banner of "Quanzhen Religion" and named his residence "Quanzhen Temple". The history book says, "The name of Quanzhen begins here." [14] Because Ma was the first person he met after he founded the teaching, he was given the important task of teaching before he died, so people generally regarded him as the "big disciple" who first converted.
