Xuanzang is a foreign monk, how did he come here?

According to the "Biography of the Three Tibetan Masters of the Great Ci'en Temple", Xuanzang's westward journey to seek the Dharma was mainly out of his sense of mission and responsibility for the development of Buddhism. Xuanzang had a deep Buddhist fate in his life, and became famous at the age of 13 in Luoyang Pure Land Temple, and quickly traveled to Chang'an, Chengdu, Jingzhou, Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other places to visit monksPracticing Buddhism, he gained a high reputation at a young age.

Due to the differences of opinion among the various schools of Buddhism on the translation of Buddhist scriptures at that time, Xuanzang had doubts about its correctness and authenticity, and was determined to unify the Buddhist scriptures, which gave rise to the idea of traveling west to seek the Dharma. StillThe political situation at that time was not optimistic. Since there were still Western Turks in the northwest who were opposed to the Tang Dynasty and often harassed the border, the Tang Dynasty ordered strict control of the border areas.

It also issued a decree prohibiting people from leaving the country without permission. According to historical data, Xuanzang once wrote to the imperial court to request a trip west, but failed to obtain the approval of the imperial court. YesHowever, Xuanzang's determination to seek the Dharma was so great that no difficulty could shake his mind.

So, after a period of careful preparation and preparation, Xuanzang quietly left and embarked on the road to the west.

In the first year of Zhenguan (627) in the third lunar month, Xuanzang set off from Chang'anRelying on preaching scriptures for Taoism and turning into food and lodging, he went through Qinzhou and Lanzhou to Liangzhou (now Wuwei). Due to the sensation caused by his lectures, Xuanzang's deeds were exposed in Liangzhou, and Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, forced him to return to Beijing. Thanks to the secret rescue of the local monk Master Huiwei, he sent someone to escort Xuanzang to secretly change his route to the west.

Day and night, until Guazhou (now Guazhou County, located in the west of Jiuquan and east of Dunhuang). Unexpectedly, the Liangzhou officials found out about the incidentWanted documents were sent to the border. Fortunately, Li Chang, a state official, was moved by Xuanzang's determination to seek the law, and tore up the official document on the spot to help him travel westward.

At this time, Xuanzang met the Hu monk Dharma and ordained a young Hu man Shi Pantuo as a monk.

(Some people think that's what came later.)The prototype of the monk's apprentice Sun Wukong). With the help of Shi Pantuo, Xuanzang changed from an old Hu man who had been traveling to and from the Silk Road all the year round for an old horse familiar with the road, and smuggled across the border from Yumen Pass at night during the third watch. Unexpectedly, due to the fear of the difficult journey and the severity of the ban, not only the Qinzhou monks, the Lanzhou monks, and the two young monks who had escorted Xuanzang left one after another, but even Xuanzang's disciple Shi Pantuo was afraid of being affected, so he said goodbye before the Yumen Pass.

Xuanzang took advantage of the night to move forward alone and crossed the pass. After that, they smuggled into the five beacons guarded by the Tang armyAfter passing through thousands of miles of quicksand, the first beacon was shot by a bow and arrow, and the fourth beacon was almost dying of thirst, and only after nine deaths did he cross the border and arrive at the relative safety of Yiwu (now Hami). Judging from the above situation, Xuanzang's westward journey is a personal act, purely private

In addition, he broke the law and risked his way out of the border, which is now considered a smuggling (i.e., illegal immigration), and he will be punished by law if caught. It was only because of the covert help of many people that he was fortunate to get out of the country.

Xuanzang's real name is Chen Yi, a native of Luozhou (now Yanshi City, Luoyang, Henan), and his ancestor Yingchuan was a Jiedu envoy sent to India to seek the true scriptures in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Xuanzang's real name is Chen Yi, a native of Luozhou (now Yanshi City, Luoyang, Henan), and his ancestor Yingchuan. A famous monk of the Tang Dynasty.

Xuanzang is a foreign monk, he is a former monk who believes in Buddhism.

He must have thought that the Chinese side was better, and then he came to study and stayed.

The main thing is that he came from other places, and then it was customary to say that he was a monk from outside.

Master Amitabha Xuanzang is a generation of patriarch masters, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva are coming again.

He was a native of Luozhou (now Yanshi City, Luoyang, Henan), and his ancestor Yingchuan was sent to India to seek the true scriptures during the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Xuanzang's parents are from the Sui Dynasty, and his father Chen Hui was the commander of Jiangling County in the early Sui Dynasty.

There should be two major reasons for Xuanzang's monkhood, one is that his family background is good, he has received a good education, his cultural accomplishment is relatively high, and he is gifted and intelligent, the Confucian classics are just an ethical norm, and there is little speculation at the level of thinking, which cannot meet the needs of Xuanzang who has a higher psychological pursuit, and the Buddhist classics, the truth and reasoning are esoteric, and the logic is meticulous, which is exactly what Xuanzang needs to pursue the true meaning of life. Second, it should have received the influence of his own brother and second brother. The second brother has become a monk and became a master of Changjie, at that time in the Pure Land Temple in Luoyang, Xuanzang went to him at the age of ten to join him, and became a boy in the Pure Land Temple, and he was not officially ordained until he was thirteen years old.

Historically, Xuanzang was a Tang Dynasty monk who went to Tianzhu to study Buddhism.

Due to the differences in the doctrines of various sects, it was difficult to reach a conclusion, so I decided to go to Tianzhu to study Buddhism.

Later, Xuanzang's story of learning scriptures became one of the four classic works, and Journey to the West tells the story of Xuanzang who went through eighty-one calamities and finally got the Buddhist scriptures. However, the real Tang Seng only had one very adventurous experience.

He passed through the Yumen Pass and came to the Hashun Desert, a place known as "Moheyan". Mohe Yanzhi is a dead and silent world, and it is here that Xuanzang lost his way and lost the water bladder he was carrying. Master Xuanzang has been walking on this barren Gobi for five days and four nights, without even a drop of water.

Fortunately, Xuanzang rode an old horse sent by Hu Shang from Guazhou. At that time, Tang Seng was exhausted and could only walk on his own by relying on horses. The old horse led him to a spring, which is now called "Wild Horse Spring".

Xuanzang always thought that this was the result of his prayer to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

First of all, Tang Xuanzang is very sincere and has a pure heart. Tang Xuanzang silently made a lot of efforts in order to carry forward Buddhism. In order to get Buddhist scriptures, Tang Xuanzang not only came to India thousands of miles away, but in this process, he did not give up at all, which many people can't do.

Moreover, Tang Xuanzang brought all these books to the Central Plains, which allowed many people to learn Buddhism, so Buddhism was deeply rooted in our country and carried forward. This is thanks to Tang Xuanzang who contributed to it.

I think that Xuanzang in history was a monk with a very moral heart, and he especially insisted on traveling thousands of miles for the Dharma he pursued, and he was a very brave person.

Whether Tang Seng and Xuanzang are the same person or not, there are many theories in history.

The Xuanzang we are talking about is the prototype of Tang Seng in the play. Xuanzang is real in the Tang Dynasty, this person is named Chen Yi before becoming a monk, because he was influenced by Buddhism since he was a child, and he learned by chance that India has a true scripture monk, so he embarked on the road to the Western Regions to seek Buddha despite the difficulties and obstacles. After going through hardships, he finally obtained the scriptures, learned the Dharma, and brought back a large number of Buddha relics, scriptures and Buddha statues.

Xuanzang's existence and experience of learning scriptures is a true story recorded by historical facts, so Wu Chengen integrated the storyline on the basis of folklore, scripts, and comedies, and then created it to complete this huge feature**, so the plot in the TV series is also very similar to the story of Xuanzang who obtained the Western Meridian through thousands of difficulties and dangers, but the plot in the play is mythical. It's just that the real Xuanzang only accepted three apprentices on the way to the Tang Dynasty, and in the plot, he accepted three apprentices at the beginning of the Western Classic.

Therefore, Tang Seng is portrayed according to the real character prototype of Xuanzang, Tang Seng is the reflection of the real character Xuanzang in the ** and the play, vividly reproducing the life and deeds of Xuanzang, a high monk.

In "Journey to the West", Tang Seng refers to Xuanzang. In reality, it was Master Xuanzang who went to learn scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, and he was the prototype of Tang Seng in Journey to the West.

is a person, Tang Seng is a character in "Journey to the West", Xuanzang is the prototype of Tang Seng, Xuanzang is a real character, but Tang Seng is a character in **, and the story is indeed based on Xuanzang's scriptures.

Xuanzang and Tang Seng are the same person, according to the plot of the original "Journey to the West" Tang Seng's legal name: Tang Xuanzang was called "Tang Seng" in the world.

Started in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Master Dao'an.

Master Dao An (313-385 AD).

In the past, the Shamen of Middle Earth were all surnamed from the teacher, the surname was "Zhu" from Tianzhu, and the surname was "Branch" from the Yuezhi, and due to the different surnames of various sects in various places, the differences between the sects were caused. Dao'an thought that "the foundation of the master, Mozun Shakya", decided that Buddhism should all take "Shak" as the surname. Subsequently, the "Zengyi Ahan Sutra" was introduced to China, and it was recorded in the scriptures:

The four rivers enter the sea, and there is no compound river name; The four surnames are Shamen, all of which are called Shi Chong. Dao'an's view coincides with the Buddhist scriptures, so it has been the consensus of the Buddhist community, and the unified surname of "Shi" has become a major feature of Chinese Buddhism.

Master Xuanzang, of course, is called Shi Xuanzang.

In fact, in ancient times, and even today, when printing the Buddhist scriptures translated by Master Xuanzang, the most correct style should be.

Master Tang Xuanzang.

And not not "Tang Xuanzang" or "Master Tang Xuanzang".

There is a point after the Tang Dynasty

Tang shows that he is the Tang Dynasty, it is to explain the dynasty, and in ancient times, it is to explain the name of the country, so Tang is not his surname, and it is much worse if there is a point to separate it.

Master Xuanzang is to explain who he is.

So, Don Xuanzang. It's two meanings. And not his name Therefore, the ** family is ignorant, and it is really a layman to write Tang Xuanzang and turn it into a name.

For example: Don Li Bai. If it is written as "Tang Li Bai", is Li Bai's surname Tang? It shows that Master Xuanzang is not surnamed Tang, and writing like that is not the most standard, which will cause misunderstanding. There should be a little separation of dynasties and names, and it will be clear.

After Buddhism was introduced to China, there was no official uniform rule on the names of monks after they became monks.

In terms of time, before and at the beginning of Buddhism's introduction to China, monks used lay names. For example, the first monk in China was called Zhu Shixing.

The monks began to have the surname Shi, which originated from Dao'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Venerable Dao An suggested that all monks should follow the Buddha and take the surname Shakti. At that time, there were still many people who were dissatisfied, and then the "Addition of a Sutra" was translated, and the scriptures were:

Four rivers enter the sea, there is no compound river name, and the four surnames are monks, and they are all called Shi Shi. For a moment, the crowd was amazed. In fact, the "same name as Shizi" does not refer to the surname of Shizi, because at that time there were also monks in India, for the sake of separation, all the Buddhas of Shakyamuni were "Shamen Shizi".

Tang Xuanzang was because he was too famous in the Tang Dynasty, so he brought the country name. In fact, it's just the name here.

Virtuous achievements, universal wishes auspicious.

Nan no pharmacist Liuli light is like coming.

He was a monk in the Tang Dynasty, and he worshipped Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, so he called some monks like this, and his surname was Shi.

Xuanzang? Monk

The monk who led the four apprentices to the western heavens

A monk who was the younger brother of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty

It can be summed up in four words: wisdom and bravery.

Xuanzang (602-664), a famous Sanzang master of the Tang Dynasty, one of the greatest translators in the history of Han Buddhism, and the founder of the Chinese Buddhism Dharma Xiang Wisdom Sect. The common surname is Chen, whose name is Yuan, and he was born in Luozhou, Luozhou, Henan Province (now in the south of Yanshi City, Henan Province). He is the prototype of Tang Seng, the central character of the famous Chinese classical ** "Journey to the West".
