Emperor Wei Zi of Tantric Buddhism.

Tantric Mahayana Buddhism, also known as Petro Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism, Mystic Buddhism and Vajrayana Buddhism, is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism and the mainstream of late Indian Buddhism. This part of Buddhism is also called esoteric religion because it does not allow open and mysterious secret teachings. Compared with esoteric Buddhism, the schools before Buddhism, including Mahayana and Hinayana, are called Zoroastrianism. Because of its many rituals and spells, it is very similar to Hinduism. Therefore, scholars believe that the rise of secret Mahayana Buddhism is closely related to the revival of Hinduism. Interpretation of the tantric school (the original meaning of tantric school is the extension of the line, and its meaning is translated as "continuation") replaces the original "Xiuduoluo" (its meaning is translated as "Jing") as the name of the canon. Mithra is a Hindu canon, which is taught secretly between teachers and disciples. The term is also used for secret Mahayana, but in Chinese, it is still translated as "Jing" or "Jiao". According to the contents of esoteric Buddhism, Buddhism in Han Dynasty can be divided into three parts: Zami, Fetal Tibetan and King Kong. Tibetan Buddhism is divided into four parts according to Master Zong Kaba's The Broadest Theory of Tantric Taoism: 1. Continuation of things (made by Tantric Sect) II. Continuation of the action (performed by Tantra) 3. Continuation of Yoga (Tantric Yoga) 4. Continued Supreme Yoga (Tantric Buddhism) "Biography of Han Dynasty" is equivalent to the first three in Tibet: miscellaneous and quite useless; The fetal Tibetan boundary is equivalent to continuation; Diamond realm is equivalent to the continuation of yoga. After its continuation, Supreme Yoga can be divided into "father's continuation" and "mother's continuation" (there are also "father's continuation", "mother's continuation" and "no second continuation"), which are mainly spread in India and * * * regions, but a few classics were introduced to China. My father's sequels include Dense, Yan and Infinite Fantasy Network. Song Shihu's translation of "All Tathagata, Three Industries, the Most Secret King Sutra" is a secret department. Fa Xian's translation of the five volumes of Wang Jing of Buddhism and Yoga is the supreme fantasy network department. Mother inheritance includes many tribes, such as "Wheel of Time", "Victory Music", "hevajra" and "Magic Top Seat". [Editor] Origin and Development [Editor] Indian Tantric Buddhism According to Tommy's legend, Tantric Buddhism first inherited the Dragon Tree Bodhisattva in India. Whether this dragon tree really has a person, and if so, whether it is the same person as the author of Zhong Lun is still controversial in academic circles. The inheritance of tantric Buddhism was also inferred from Mu Jianlian, one of the ten disciples of the Buddha (see Lu's History of tantric Buddhism in China), but this statement was not generally accepted. According to the analysis of the existing data, tantric Buddhism rose in the Polo Dynasty in East India in the 7th century, and its activities developed with the formation of Tathagata Sutra as an opportunity, centering on Nalanduo Temple, Odandorpuri Temple and Chaoyan Temple. Among them, the early esoteric religion was introduced to China through three masters in Kaiyuan, forming Tommy, and then introduced to Japan (see later). In the middle and late esoteric religion, represented by tantric * * *, Hewajira, Shi Lun Jin Gang and other methods, it mainly entered * * *. However, it should be noted that Buddhism in the Han Dynasty was also influenced by Supreme Yoga, and the secret was translated in a short time, while a large number of Supreme Yoga classics were translated in the Song Dynasty. However, due to various reasons, the esoteric religion in the middle and late period was not developed in Buddhism in Han Dynasty. Similarly, Tibetan Buddhism has been exposed to the contents of early esoteric Buddhism, but it is regarded as a lower-level classic of yoga and walking yoga in teaching judgment, so it has not been highly valued. [Editor] Before the formation of a systematic esoteric religion, some esoteric methods called "Zami" were introduced to China, which were first seen in the second year of Wu Huanglong in the Three Kingdoms (AD 230). Zhu Luyan translated Modern Jiajing, Zhi Qian translated The Divine Mantra Sutra of Dalagni, Ji Hua, and the Infinite Gate Mimi Wisdom Sutra. In the 8th century, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Indian monks Xubodhi, Vajrayana and Bukong came to China, which was known as the "Three Masters of Kaiyuan" in history. With the support of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty, three tantric masters translated a large number of tantric classics in Daxing Mountain Temple in Chang 'an (located in Xi 'an today), popularized tantric methods, and established a Buddhist Sect called tantric Sect, which is now Tommy Sect, also known as Yan Zhen Dalagni Sect, Yan Zhen Sect, Jin Gang Ding Sect, Pilu Jinna Sect and Kaiyuan Sect. The main Dojo is Chang 'an Daxing Mountain Temple, Qingliu Temple Famen Temple and Fufeng County. Traditionally, the Mahayana Sutra introduced by the three great scholars in Kaiyuan and the Jingang Dingjing in Jingang were called two Dafas, which were called "pure secrets", and the previous translations were called "miscellaneous secrets". [Editor] Due to the close communication between China and Japan in the mid-Tang Dynasty, Tommy was introduced to Japan from the Japanese master Konghai to establish Shinrikyo Sect, which was called Dongmi because he was based in Dongsi Temple. Another Taimi was created by Master Cheng Zu, a monk who studied in the Tang Dynasty at the same time. The Dongmi system was basically completed by Master Kong Hai, and the Taimi system was formed by the most obvious method. He continued to study in the Tang Dynasty. [Editor] At the beginning of the 7th century, the Tibetan Buddhism, King Songzan Gambu, had a strong national strength and a thirst for culture. At the same time, he asked China and Nepal for marriage and cultural input. In the end, India gained the power of two major cultural schools in * * *, and Buddhism was introduced into China and India separately at the same time. In the middle of the eighth century, the power of Bonism in * * * region once rose, and the voice of anti-Buddhism was high. After Master Jihu returned to India, he invited Master Lotus Peanut from Nalanduo Temple to Tibet, and tantric Buddhism was introduced to Tibet by the method of subduing * * *. Since then, the tantric school established by * * * has been called Tibetan Buddhism because it is different from Tommy in Han Dynasty, Tommi in Japan, Tanmi in Taiwan Province and Indian tantric school. * * * In history, many monks went to India to seek Buddha or Indian monks went to Tibet, so I won't go into details. For example, at the beginning of the tenth century, the translator of Marba went to India to seek Buddhism, and learned Buddhism from the Indian tantric guru Naloba, and spread it widely. His students include the famous Milarepa. The inheritance of this film in later generations is called Baijiao (Gajuba).

King Ashoka, like many emperors, gambled on all his treasures. Besides Buddhism, he also believes in other religions. It is said that he also believed in Jainism in his later years. In short, many people have the same mentality as Ashoka: all bets are on, and there is always a bet. Today, many Christians occasionally pray to God and worship Buddha, and the principle is the same. But if you bet all your money, even if you win, can the "bonus" compensate the cost? That is to say, will half-hearted anger the true god in turn? This is another matter. In any case, Buddhism flourished in the South Asian subcontinent during the time of Ashoka, and after the demise of the Peacock Dynasty, Brahmanism rose again. At this time, Brahmanism has greatly rectified and reformed the fierce offensive of Buddhism, making way for Buddhism with great momentum. Since then, Buddhism has gradually declined in its "birthplace". Instead, it has developed in Sri Lanka, China (including * * *) and Japan, and it is still tenacious, and has exhibited Buddhist teachings with its own local characteristics, such as Hinayana Buddhism in Sri Lanka, Zen Buddhism in China, Tantric Buddhism in * * *, Sōka Gakkai in Japan and so on. As for Jainism, which Ashoka also believed in, it also originated in the Samoan era, less than a hundred years before the Buddha era. Jainism has a very long tradition. It is said that before Nobita appeared, there were already 23 Jains, that is, spiritual teachers. The first Jain lived alone for 8.4 million years, and Ba Soana was the ninth Jain, born in the 9th century BC. Raft Tomona, like Ba Soana, was born as a prince, and the parents of the former were loyal followers of Ba Soana. When you are old, you will starve to death voluntarily and pursue liberation according to the rules of looking at that religion. After his parents starved to death, Fatomona left his wife and daughter and went to asceticism naked. After twelve years and six and a half months of asceticism, at the age of forty-two, Rafto Mona finally gained enlightenment and became a "hero" (meaning "great hero"), a twenty-fourth generation Jain and a modern Jain. Buddhism does not attack Brahmanism, but Jainism believes that Brahmins are uneducated priests. "It is your own business to divide people into Brahmins, Khrushchev, Vedas or sudra." Jainism is much more intense than Buddhism and advocates equality for all. Not only is it forbidden to kill, it is absolutely vegetarian, and even agriculture is not allowed, so as to avoid accidental injury to organisms during farming. Christians should wear masks when going out, avoid inhaling insects, carry brooms, sweep the floor while walking, don't trample dead creatures, and insist on asceticism, because this is the only way to exercise the soul. We can see that the white robe worn by Indian Mahatma Gandhi is a Jain costume, and the man who has been reported by the media from time to time that hands in the air has shown respect for God for 30 to 40 years is also a Jain. There are 90% similarities between Jainism and Buddhism. As mentioned earlier, Buddhist classics are assembled from Lingshan. From the middle of the 6th century to the middle of the 4th century, it was the first stage of the development of Buddhism, which was founded by Sakyamuni and passed down by his disciples. It was primitive Buddhism, and the first episode was set shortly after the extinction of the Buddha. Due to the differences in Buddhism's internal teachings and precepts, it was divided into many religious groups, which were later called eighteen or twenty, and were sects of Buddhism. After the demise of Buddhism, Lingshan was assembled for the second time in 500 years, so Mahayana Buddhism (formerly known as Hinayana Buddhism) came into being. The rider is a ship. Buddhism means that life is a sea of suffering, and we should "ride" from one shore to the other. Mahayana can free practitioners, and Mahayana can let all beings board this ship and board the other shore together, which can be said to be the biggest difference between the two. Mahayana is more religious, and its worship of God is more concrete, and Hinayana is more philosophical. About the first century, Mahayana Buddhism was divided into Chinese school and yoga school. After the seventh century, some schools of Mahayana Buddhism mixed with Brahmanism to form tantric Buddhism. Buddhism was introduced into China from ancient India, which had a far-reaching impact on the local religions in China. However, China-based Buddhism has gone through various stages and ways, resulting in the differences among Chinese culture, Tibetan culture and Dai culture, and also forming sects with national characteristics in other countries. Mahayana Buddhism was introduced to most parts of China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other countries. Its classics mainly belong to the Han family, while those introduced to China, Inner Mongolia and Siberia are * * * Buddhism, commonly known as Lamaism, and its classics mainly belong to the Tibetan family. However, Hinayana Buddhism, a classic Pali language system, was introduced to the Dai areas in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and China. Only in China, Buddhism was introduced from the Western Han Dynasty, developed in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Various sects such as Pure Land Sect, Faxiang Sect, Huayan Sect, Zen Sect and Tantric Sect were successively developed. Taoism (Taoism, divided into orthodox school and Quanzhen school after Yuan Dynasty), which respects Laozi as the leader and takes Tao Te Ching as the main lesson, is also full of original Buddhist terms, and both teaching and practice can be traced back to Buddhism, so Taoism is another variant of Buddhism.

Tantric Buddhism is a late school in the development of Mahayana Buddhism in India. It was Indian monks who brought Buddhism to * * *. In India, due to the invasion of Islam, many Indian monks were forced to live in * * *. From then on, Buddhism began to spread and develop in * * *.
