Regarding the ancestral courts of Buddhist sects, where are the ancestral courts of Chinese Buddhism

Zhejiang Guoqing Temple Tiantai sect.

Nanjing Qixia Temple Three Treatises.

Shanxi Xuanzhong Temple Pure Land Sect.

The so-called ancestral court is the founding place of various sects of Buddhism. After Buddhism was introduced to China, the most primitive practice method was retained, called Theravada Buddhism, because there was no innovation, so it did not matter the ancestral court. Mahayana Buddhism has added different practice methods according to different Buddhist scriptures, forming many sects, among which the ancestral courts of the eight major schools are as follows:

The Pure Land Ancestral Garden is located in Lushan Donglin Temple, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province.

The ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism is in Shaolin Temple, Dengfeng County, Henan Province.

The Three Treatises Ancestral Court is in the Caotang Temple in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, and the Huayan Ancestral Court is in the Huayan Temple in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province.

The ancestral court of the law is in Jingye Temple, Chang'an District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.

Tiantai Ancestral Court is in Tiantai County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, Tiantai Mountain, Guoqing Temple, Weizhi Ancestral Court is in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, Daci'en Temple.

Tantric ancestral garden in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, Daxingshan Temple.

It seems that Zen Buddhism is in Songshan Shaolin Temple.

The ancestral court of Chinese Buddhism is the White Horse Temple, and there are eight major sects in the later development of Buddhism into China, each of which has its own ancestral court.

In China, there are six ancestral courts of the earliest and most important Zen Buddhism:

Shaolin Temple, Songshan, Henan, is the place where the first ancestor Bodhidharma master was abbot.

Erzu Temple, also known as Wuxiang Temple, Sikong Mountain, Yuexi, Anhui Province, the place where the second ancestor Huike Master was abbot.

Sanzu Temple, Qianshan County, Anhui Province, Sanzu Monk Chan was the abbot here.

Sizu Temple, Huangmei Shuangfeng Mountain, Hubei, the four ancestors Taoist master once held the abbot here.

Wuzu Temple, Huangmei County, Hubei Province, the five ancestors Hongren Master was the abbot here.

Nanhua Temple, Shaoguan, Guangdong, the sixth ancestor Huineng Master was the abbot here.

Zen Buddhism, one of the most special sects of Buddhism in China, focuses on practice and advocates Zen enlightenment to transcend life and death, and has a far-reaching influence. It has a long history and has developed into a total of six Zen ancestral courts, namely the Caodong sect, the Rinzai sect, the Dharma Eye sect, the Cloud Gate sect, the Pure Land sect and the Zen sect. So these six Zen ancestral courts are all in **?

The Caodong Ancestral Garden is located in Longxing Temple, Jiangxi Province, China, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of 1,200 years. The Soto sect is known for its profound and introverted realm, plain and clear language, and concrete and effective methods, and is deeply loved by believers.

Located in Tiantong Mountain, Zhejiang Province, China, the Rinzai Ancestral Garden is one of the important branches of Chinese Zen Buddhism. Rinzai Buddhism specializes in kanban (cutting directly into Zen) and focuses on the practice of the bodhisattva path that understands the worldly dharma and the realm of truthfulness.

Located in Putuo Mountain, Fujian Province, China, the Ancestral Garden of the Dharma Eye Ancestral Garden originated in the Tang Dynasty and began to take shape in the Song Dynasty and flourished in modern times. The Dharma Eye Buddhism is a fusion of Zen and Tantric thoughts, and has an irreplaceable position.

The Yunmen Ancestral Garden is located in Yunmen Mountain, Guangdong Province, China, and was founded by Xu Daoguan, King of Luling, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty. The Yunmen Sect is known for its practice methods such as non-corresponding and non-phase, non-speech and non-quietness, and attaches great importance to the practice of meditation and kung fu.

The Pure Land Sect was introduced to China as early as the Tang Dynasty on Mount Donnomiya in Kyoto City, Japan. The fundamental emphasis of the Pure Land sect is that everyone has Buddha nature, and the key to enlightenment is to recite the Dharma.

Located in Nanyue Hengshan Mountain, Hubei Province, China, Zen Buddhism is one of the three most famous mountains in China's past dynasties. Its characteristics lie in the emphasis on meditation, participation in Zen according to law, and the integration of the essence of mind, Confucianism and Buddhism, which is commendable.

The influence of Zen Buddhism has continued to evolve over 2,000 years of history, and the six ancestral gardens of Zen Buddhism have accumulated the wisdom and experience of many generations, which are an indispensable part of Chinese culture and an important place for meditators not to be missed.
