Master Yuangong (334-416 AD), a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born in Yanmen Loufan (now Daixian County, Shanxi Province), a scholarly family for generations. Yuangong was intelligent when he was young. When he was 13 years old, he traveled with his uncle to Xuchang, Luoyang and other places. Be proficient in Confucianism and bypass Laozi and Zhuangzi. At the age of 21, he went to Taihang Mountain with his mother and younger brother Huichi to listen to Dharma Master Dao'an speak the Prajna Sutra. Then he understood the true meaning and sighed: "The nine stream theories of Confucianism and Taoism are like chaff." So he became a monk and followed Dharma Master Dao'an to practice.

Master Yuangong's pure land thought is the theoretical crystallization of the ancient Indian pure land religion's initial spread in China, the product of the collision and blending of Buddhist culture and Chinese culture, and also related to the catalysis of the suffering reality in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Yuangong's personal learning background. Here is a summary of the characteristics of Yuangong Pure Land: ...... [Full text]

Master Shandao (613-681 AD) was born in the ninth year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty. He was born in Sizhou (Shandong Linzi), Anhui Province, and became a monk at a young age. The master's original track is unpredictable. According to the Biography of the Past of India, good guidance is the incarnation of Amitabha. Master Lianchi also said, "A good guiding monk is the incarnation of the legendary Amitabha. Seeing that he is refined, rigorous, and beneficial, he can still feel people's confidence from generation to generation. If he is not Amitabha, he must also be a couple of Guanyin and Samantabhadra." ...... [Full text]

Master Shandao's Pure Land thought has strong religious feelings in belief; In theory, it inherits the Pure Land thought of Tanluan and Daochuo, and enriches and develops into a theoretical system of the Pure Land with "He Li Ben Yuan" as the core, which clarifies many theoretical errors of the Pure Land and provides a good foundation for the spread of the Pure Land in China. In general, the master completed the theory system of Pure Buddhism with the core of "his power and original wish" from the perspective of understanding and opportunity, and greatly smoothed the birth of all Buddhas. ......

Master Chengyuan devoted his whole life to the practice of chanting Buddhism. He did not want to write any works. No works of the master have been handed down, so the master's Pure Land thought could not be studied. However, from the experience of Master Chengyuan's cultivation, he seems to follow the teachings of Compassion and Three Zang, adhere to precepts, and specialize in Samadhi, so as to benefit others and achieve the unique demeanor of a generation of ancestors.

The master cultivates all living beings, is good at establishing the middle path, and randomly sets up teachings. In order to enable all living beings to prove the truth of Taoism early, the master earnestly taught Buddhism, and wrote the name of Amitabha in the streets and lanes, engraved on the mountains, rocks and valleys, and earnestly encouraged all living beings to pray for a pure land. There are many followers, and there are more than one thousand disciples who accept Dharma before and after.

Later, the Emperor Daizong regarded Master Fazhao as the national teacher. When he heard that Master Fazhao said that his teacher was of great virtue, he also respected Master Chengyuan and gave him more courtesy. He gave the temple where the master lived as the Banzhou Taoist Temple.

Master Fazhao (747-821 AD) has many unknown life experiences. It is said that the master was from Nanliang. He first came to Lushan from the Eastern Wu Dynasty. He admired the whereabouts of Duke Yuanyuan, joined the Western Taoist Temple, and specialized in Zen. One day, he entered the nirvana and was shocked to see Master Chengyuan waiting at the Buddha's side. In the middle of Yongtai (765-766 AD), he climbed Hengshan Mountain, the southern mountain, and learned Pure Land Dharma from Master Chengyuan. Later, he began to study Buddhism. In the summer of the fourth year of the Later Dali (AD 769), the master opened the Five Meeting Buddhist Chanting Center in the East Temple of Hengzhou Lake. ...... [Full text]

Master Fazhao's Pure Land thought is mainly embodied in the concept of five Buddhist chants. According to the master's statement, these five Buddhist chants are actually taught by Amitabha. The Five Meeting Chanting Buddha embodies the characteristics of the Pure School of Buddhism, which uses sound to do Buddhist work. The sound melody of the Five Meeting Chanting Buddha can resonate with the sound of the Western Pure Land, which is an incredible method. It is a pity that these five Buddhist chants were only passed on for five hundred years at the end of the Dharma, and now they have become famous. It is also the result of the fact that all the people at the end of the Dharma valued their life and happiness. ...... [Full text]

Master Shaokang also mainly used his body to promote law, and wrote very little. However, it is not difficult to see that his Buddhist thought is based on the idea of a good guide master. Shaokang's reverence for the good guide master can be seen from his name of the newly built prayer hall in Wulong Mountain: "the good guide monk Amitabha Taoist Temple". In many aspects of teaching and practice, he was greatly influenced by the master of good guidance. He testified and chanted Samadhi, and inspired all living beings to chant Buddhism, just like the master of good guidance.

The Second Patriarch was good at guiding Buddha to recite, and the Master Shaokang also recited and transformed Buddha. Such signs are rare among the ancestors of the Pure Sect. The world calls good guidance the embodiment of Amitabha, and Shaokang the successor of good guidance. According to records, the master opened the Pure Land Taoist Temple in Wulong Mountain, and more than 3000 people gathered on fast days. The master ascended the throne and asked the four disciples to look at his face, that is, sing Amitabha loudly. Every time you recite, you will see a Buddha in your mouth. If you recite ten times, you will see ten Buddhas. The master said to the public, "You who see Buddha must die."

In the middle of the night, the master saw the lotus flower in front of the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva suddenly in his hand. Master thought that he had two wishes. One was to recite the Dharma and Chinese Sutra all his life, and the other was to benefit all living beings all his life. Remembering these two wishes, he was happy and silent, hesitated to advance or retreat, and could not self-determination, so he made two lots. One is to meditate on the lot, and the other is to chant the sutra of all good and solemn Pure Land lot. The master prayed in front of the Buddha, picked it up with his hands, and got the Pure Land lot seven times. Therefore, he devotes himself to cleaning up. ...... [Full text]

Master Yongming integrates Mahayana Buddhism, inherits the idea of Cimin, Sanzang, integrating all sects and returning to the Pure Land, advocates the integration of Zufo, interpretation and Buddhism, and compromises Dharma, Sanlun, Huayan and Tiantai, and integrates them with Buddhism. Later generations, the various sects gradually merged into the Pure Land, started with the Three Zangs of Compassion, and started with Master Yongming. The master returned to the Pure Land as the third generation founder of the Fayan Sect, and thus became the sixth ancestor of the Pure Sect. One person has two ancestors, which is rare. He is also the most qualified for making Zen and Pure Material Slips. He interprets the internal relationship between Zen and Pure Sect, and constructs a reference system for future practitioners to make rational choices about Zen and Pure, which has a great impact on future generations. ......

Master Chang has not written, so his Pure Land thought cannot be examined in detail. The virtue of the master is mainly embodied in self serving achievements and initiation of association and chanting Buddhism.

The master strictly adhered to the precepts and had no hindrance to eloquence. He pricked his blood to write "Huayan? Pure Conduct". It has been like a day for decades to transform himself by chanting Buddhism. In the practice of chanting Buddhism, the master paid attention to introducing Huayan? Jingxing Product to standardize and purify the body and mind of the chanters, so as to ensure the achievement of Jingye. The Lotus Club changed its name to the Pure Walk Club, chanted Buddhism with discipline, stopped watching and carried out activities, which deeply implied that the master promoted the ingenuity and profound purpose of the Pure Sect.

In the historical materials of the Pure Land Sect, there are only a few hundred words recording the deeds of Master Chang. But the master laid the foundation for the prevalence of Pure Land Sect in the Song Dynasty.. During the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, the Pure Land Buddhism was very popular, and the belief in Pure Land was deeply rooted among the people. At that time, in the southern region centered on the Wuyue State, there was a trend of imitating the Hui Yuan Jie Lian Society of Lushan Mountain to chant Buddhism. Both inside and outside the court, from the public officials and noble gentry to the common people were involved. During this period, the Lotus Society was initially founded to gather people to chant Buddhism, advocating the integration of conviction, aspiration and pure conduct. It was the provincial master who chanted Buddhism for survival.

The master asked why she recited Buddhism every day? The old woman replied: The former husband held the name of Buddha, and he died free from illness, so he knew that it was incredible to recite the merits of Buddha. The master was moved when he heard the words, so he sent his heart to the Pure Land and wrote "Life and death are big" on his desk. Or sit and lie, day and night. His father died at the age of 27, and his mother died at the age of 32. The master decided to become a monk. ...... [Full text]
