Buddhism and Taoism are the two old religion that bright most on Chinese history, although buddhism is not to originate at Chinese mainland, but eye comes round to say, the number with Chinese Buddhist belief should occupy world first place. And as ab extra religion, can be accepted by Chinese place, of the development that also passed several chiliad naturally and progress.
Change without a kind of any foreign language can easily in the life that blends in place, in the process that evolves into development, buddhism also is after many life and death survive stay, be Ied hope nevertheless, still mix in final buddhism Chinese traditional culture undertook perfect confluence, made the indispensable one part in Chinese civilization.
Current buddhism is not everybody the has a branch only religion in the eye, as a result of itself out India, in the road that passes into China, undertook confluence with the culture of different place, there is not little difference in the respect such as thought and culture. Look at present, buddhist and main component of China is 3 big branch, these 3 factional it is Han Chuanfo teachs respectively, Cang Chuanfo teachs, south pass buddhism. Although branch is different, but because belong to conjugate culture, there are many places that be interlinked again in them, buddhist everybody also is able person comes forth in large numbers.
Give everybody introduction a latter-day Buddhist dignitary here today, the name of this dignitary is empty cloud a Buddhist monk. Mention dignitary actually, understand still ought to be Shaolin Temple to amount to for person place most rub the founder of a school of learning, serve as Buddhist dignitary actually, bear is worn a main responsibility, want to develop the Buddhist doctrine of him place believe in namely, let power of Buddha be accepted by more person place. And the merits and virtues of whole cloister also is the advocate with power of Buddha direct and relevant. On the other hand, an eligible dignitary is in for merits and virtues of him scrape up while, need arises new Buddhist doctrine for cloister education everybody, with the marrow of inheritance power of Buddha, the appearance that avoids temporary shortage appears.
And what empty cloud a Buddhist monk does in this a few respects is supereminent, regard power of Buddha as deep dignitary, empty cloud a Buddhist monk once fostered Shi Chuanyin and Shi Yicheng two dignitary, these two are having decisive place in whole buddhism. Besides them, the fame far raise of Xu Yun's Great Master, having the Lai Ling before the children of many common homes to listen to power of Buddha. Among them VIPs nature need not say more, even the presidential Jiang Jieshi at that time is the bend auditor beside Xu Yun's Great Master.
Having such place, it is beyond question that Xu Yun's Great Master is evaluated to be China's latter-day the first dignitary, be being returned in Xu Yun's Great Master is a child child when, he generated extremely high interest to power of Buddha, although beside the person does not want to let him study power of Buddha, but Xu Yun's Great Master or the understanding that hold to oneself, the path that become a monk or nun chose 8 years in Xian Feng, and left oneself position in whole buddhism.
Parinirvana of Xu Yun's Great Master at 120 years old, at that time, xu Yun's Great Master appears can the induction dies to his, a when reside hill in his living ground cloud pallet cogongrass die in canopy, and Xu Yun's Great Master does not have the past to oneself to add illuminate more, just took a word of simple Buddhist monastic discipline on the table before, and the explanation that the meaning of this word did not make clear up to now.
Xu Yun's Great Master knows very well the likelihood lay temptation is too much, unborn people can stand fast him heart is more and more difficult, and commandment of the cultured in buddhism is best tie method, to achieve power of Buddha become greatly, must stand fast Buddhist commandment, do not move for environment place, such ability learn to be become somewhat.
