For example, Buddhist monks are known as "Shi Moumou" and take the "Shi" of Buddha Sakyamuni as their family name. This is called dharma number, and only monks have it.
the dharma name is both a monk and a family.
for example, linjizong monk's genealogy (word generation): quiet wisdom and bright morality. True as the sea of sex, silent as ordinary. The source of the heart is wide and continuous, and this feeling is prosperous. Being able to be benevolent and fruitful often plays magnanimity. Only when the French seal is passed, the enlightenment will be integrated. Adhere to the precepts and follow the ancestors forever.
when master gives a disciple a dharma name, for example, master's dharma name is "Zhixin" (intellectual generation), that disciple's dharma name is "Huijing" (intellectual generation), and then the next generation's dharma name is "Qingxin" (intellectual generation). In this way, the holy religion is widely played, the Buddha's wisdom is renewed, and the ancestors' dharma pulse is passed on.
