Precautions and key points of the Jizo King Bodhisattva:

At present, the statue of the king of the Bodhisattva of Han Buddhism is generally a shaved dome (or head over the hat), holding a tin staff in one hand, and a wandering image of a mani jewel in the other, and most of them are single worship statues. Legend has it that it was drawn in the image of Master Jin Qiaojue. In fact, it is because Master Jin Qiaojue and Master Xuanzang were both monks during the Tang Dynasty, so the images that have been handed down in history are all wearing robes and wearing Pilu hats.

Holding a tin rod and wearing the same attire. In the first year of Tang Zhenguan, Xuanzang was the first to diverge in the doctrines of various schools of Buddhism, and traveled 50,000 miles to the west alone, and arrived at Nalanda Temple, the center of Indian Buddhism, to obtain the true scriptures. In the past 17 years, he has studied all the theories of the Mahayana at that time, brought back a total of 150 Buddha relics, 7 Buddha statues, 657 sutras, and has been engaged in translating Buddhist scriptures for a long time.

It's called Chen Yuan.

Xuanzang (602-644 664) was a monk of the Tang Dynasty. Born in the suburbs of Luoyang, Henan, his common name is Chen Yuan.

Tang Seng, whose common surname is Chen, was born in Luoyang, Henan, with the legal name "Xuanzang", and is respected as "Sanzang Master", known as "Tang Seng" in the world, and nicknamed "Jiang Liuer". One of the protagonists in the classic Chinese masterpiece "Journey to the West", the prototype is the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang.

Tang monk in the previous life for the Buddha's second apprentice Jin Chanzi, because of the contempt for Buddhism and was relegated to the lower realm by the Buddha, under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the purpose of the Tang Dynasty, not far to the west to seek the true scriptures, on the way to receive Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing three apprentices, through eighty-one difficulties, and finally obtained the true scriptures to return to the Tang Dynasty, cultivated the positive fruit, by the Buddha as "Zhantan Merit Buddha".

Historical achievements: Tang Seng became a monk at the age of eighteen and converted to Buddhism, often read at night, studied the Buddhist classics continuously, and had a very high understanding, and was named Chinese Buddhism in his twenties, and was loved by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Later, he was secretly selected by the Buddha to go to the west to learn scriptures, and gave three treasures, namely a robe, a nine-ring tin staff, and a tight mantra.

Tang Seng is tall, elegant, kind and kind, and has a very high attainment in Buddhist scriptures. **In his westward journey to learn scriptures encountered 9981 difficulties, has always been obsessed, in the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, Sha monk, Bailongma with the assistance of the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, Sha monk, Bailongma, after a lot of hardships, finally from the West Tianleiyin Temple to retrieve 35 scriptures, to promote Buddhism has made a great contribution, until the 21st century is still talked about, do not forget his historical achievements.

And the reason why Tang Seng in "Journey to the West" is called Tang Sanzang has been made very clear when Li Shimin said goodbye to him. At that time, the Bodhisattva came to the Tang Dynasty and told Li Shimin that the supreme classic of Buddhism is actually Mahayana Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism has "three Tibets". Therefore, Li Shimin gave Tang Seng a legal name "Tang Sanzang".

The first is to want Tang Seng to get Mahayana Buddhism back as soon as possible, so as to revitalize the Tang Dynasty. The second is to hope that Tang Seng will not forget his original intention because of this Dharma name, and will not give up halfway. However, whether it is the Sanzang in "Journey to the West" or the Sanzang in the real world, they actually refer to the same thing.

Sanzang refers to the scriptures, laws, and treatises, and Tang Seng has been proficient in the Sanzang classics before taking the scriptures, so it is called Sanzang.

The so-called three Tibetan Tibetan refers to containers, barns, cages, etc., and the name of the Bodhisattva Tibetan is the immeasurable instrument, which is the infinite giving, smelling, precepts, concentration, and wisdom of the knowledge device, so the name is called the Bodhisattva Zhenzang.

According to records, the three collections in the Tang Dynasty refer to the three sacred scriptures, namely the law, the treatise, and the scriptures.

Main content: , Wuxing Mountain, Wukong three people, will be the east brother in the future, and the white dragon will do the foot power for the people who learn the scriptures. The old dragon of Jinghe was beheaded because of the lack of rainfall due to gambling hexagrams, and he violated the rules of heaven and begged Tang Taizong to save his life.

Wei Zheng Cheng dreamed of killing the dragon of the Jing River, and the soul of Taizong was chased into the Yin Division to testify, and after his death, he built the "Water and Land Conference", and asked Chen Xuanzang to perform the Dharma and perform the wonderful scriptures. Guanyin appeared, pointing out that Chen Xuanzang went to the west to get the true scriptures. Tang Taizong recognized Xuanzang as his royal brother and gave him the name Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang traveled westward, fell into the devil's cave when he left the border, and was caught by the tiger spirit, the bison spirit, and the bear spirit. Later, he encountered a fierce tiger, was rescued by Orion Liu Boqin, and was entertained by his family. Liu Boqin escorted the Tang monk to the Liangjie Mountain (i.e., the Five Elements Mountain).

When he met Sun Wukong who was waiting for a lot of filial piety, he explained the reason, Tang Seng unveiled the golden word press post of Rulai in the Five Elements Mountain, rescued Sun Wukong, and gave the number of the walker. Later, Sun Wukong was blamed by Tang Seng for killing six thieves and ran away in a rage. Tang Seng was granted by Guanyin Bodhisattva the mantra of tightening hoops and centering (mantras).

Sun Wukong learned the story of "Three Advances in the Bridge" from the Dragon King, understood it, and returned to Tang Seng. Tang Seng coaxed Sun Wukong to put on a tight hoop and silently recited the hoop mantra, which finally made Sun Wukong desperately willing to protect Tang Seng to go west, and there was no intention of repenting.
