There are also literature records that the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva is "Roaring towards the sky". Where is Ye Sheo's cooking supplies? "Modern Chinese Dictionary" explains: "The name of the beast is like a dog and can eat people." It is said that even the dragon is not its opponent, let alone eating people. It is recorded in the "Shu Yi Ji" written by the owner of Dongxuan in the Qing Dynasty: "There is a beast in the East China Sea called a dragon that can eat dragon brains. It flies up and down in the sky, and its birds are extremely fierce. Every time I fight with a dragon, it spits fire for several feet from its mouth, and the dragon is invincible. Kangxi 20 In the summer of the fifth year, there was a bird called Yong in Pingyang County. They fought for three days and nights. They saw three dragons and two dragons. They fought together and killed one dragon and two dragons. One of them fell into the valley. One or two feet long, it looks like a horse, with a scaled hyena.

Buddhism respects the truth as a divine dog. Later generations believe that it understands Buddhism, understands human nature, and avoids evil, and it is regarded as a symbol of good luck in Buddhism. A totem and sacred object that exists through folk interpretation.
Question 8: What is the significance of the four Bodhisattvas? The order of learning Mahayana Buddhism is represented by the four major Bodhisattvas: the first is "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" in Jiuhua Mountain, the second is "Avalokitesvara" in Mount Putuo, and the third is "Manjushri" in Mount Wutai. , the fourth place is "Samantabhadra Bodhisattva" in Mount Emei. The "earth" of "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" refers to the earth. The earth is the mother of mankind. The grains she grows feed us. We cannot survive without the earth. Moreover, the treasures of resources underground provide people with favorable material living conditions. The earth is also the good teacher of mankind, and it is the source of millions of people. Evolution over the years has taught people scientific methods to explore the laws of nature. Therefore, Buddha used "earth" to describe people's "heartland". It is said that people's hearts are originally very big, and can "comprehend the entire world of sand". This is the real Dzogchen. It is inherently endowed with immeasurable compassion, immeasurable wisdom, immeasurable prajna, and even immeasurable auspiciousness and immeasurable blessings. Virtue. Therefore, none of the sutras and treatises spoken by the Buddha are immeasurable. Not only are all sutras Dzogchen, but every word in every sutra is Dzogchen. When people who study Buddhism can understand the truth that "learning Buddhism means cultivating the mind", then they will realize that it is infinitely interesting! This principle is somewhat similar to the "holographic" theory! "Ksitigarbha Sutra" mainly tells people the initial method of learning to enter Buddhism, which is "filial piety to relatives and respect for teachers." As mentioned above, the earth is the mother of mankind and a good teacher of mankind. Therefore, Buddhist education is a "teacher's way" based on "filial piety". If you are not filial to your parents, how can you respect your teachers? If you don't respect your teacher and refuse to listen to your teacher, no matter how knowledgeable and capable the teacher is, there is no way to teach him skills. Therefore, only by "respecting teachers and valuing education" can academic achievement be achieved. "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra" is the Buddhist sutra of filial piety. "Filial piety" is the foundation of "Great Perfection", and all perfection starts from here. If we take "Great Perfection" one step further - on the basis of filial piety and respect for teachers, we can further develop filial piety and honor all sentient beings without distinction, attachment and equality. This is the "Avalokitesvara" method. Guanyin is the continuation of Ksitigarbha. Without Ksitigarbha, where would Guanyin come from? This is like building a building. Without the first floor, there would be no second floor. Guanyin is the descendant of Ksitigarbha and is called the Great Merciful and Great Compassion. The emphasis on "filial piety and kindness" must not be based on emotion, but must be based on reason, so that it can be truly useful and gain positive benefits. Therefore, the third Bodhisattva is "Manjushri", which represents "wisdom". "Samantabhadra Bodhisattva" represents "practice", reminding people to apply filial piety, respect, compassion and wisdom in daily life. If people can do whatever they want with people, things, and objects from morning to night without violating this principle, then they will be like the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Who do you think is Samantabhadra? Everyone can be a Samantabhadra! Is the Samantabhadra method also a method of perfection? Therefore, the Avatamsaka Sutra says: If you don’t practice the practice of Samantabhadra, you will not be able to achieve Buddhahood. Why? Samantabhadra means a perfect heart, a perfect wish, and a perfect deed. If there is no real wisdom in this, Samantabhadra's great vows cannot be fulfilled. This meaning is expressed by the four great Bodhisattvas, who represent the perfect Mahayana Buddhism. Therefore, we should start by learning filial piety from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and then learn the great kindness and compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the great wisdom and great wisdom of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and the great wishes and deeds of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. If you study Buddhism in this way, you will no longer be superstitious!
Question 9: What is the relationship between Manjushri Bodhisattva and the zodiac sign? "Fa Yuan Zhu Lin" quotes the "Great Collection Sutra" as saying: "Outside the Jambudvipa embankment, in the four directions of the sea, there are twelve beasts, and they are the guides of Bodhisattva. When humanity is born, when the Bodhisattva lives in the cave, it is these beasts that protect and benefit from it. Therefore, the twelve chen in the Han Dynasty follow this line. ..." "The meaning of its distribution is as detailed in "D Gu Man Lu". According to it, Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Xu, Juyang, so. Rats, tigers, dragons, monkeys, and dogs all have five fingers, while horses have one hoof. Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, and Hai belong to Yin, so cows are named after even numbers. , sheep, chickens, and pigs all have four claws, rabbits have two claws, and snakes have two tongues."
According to Buddhist scriptures, these twelve animals are the current twelve zodiac signs, and they all have a corresponding one. Bodhisattva guides and protects. This is what believers call the natal Buddha, and he is the protector and good deity worshiped by people for thousands of years! The "natal Buddha" is the Buddha with the closest magnetic field to the twelve zodiac signs and the strongest induction. If you sincerely believe in it, the spiritual body of the natal Buddha will naturally be strong and can make all living beings turn bad luck into good luck, have a smooth career, be healthy and safe, and have a happy family.
