Ask for help to find information on the conversion of Mahayana Buddhism to Esoteric Buddhism in Indi

2nd Floor: I also study Pure Land Buddhism, but the online controversy about Esoteric Buddhism is pure nonsense. Those speakers not only have basic skills in Sanskrit and Tibetan, but they don't even know logic.

According to their criticism, Mahayana Buddhism can probably also be regarded as a "loophole" and a "demonic path". It is advisable to be cautious before you have enough knowledge of Esoteric Buddhism! Moreover, the Tibetan translation of Buddhist scriptures is unanimously recognized as the most accurate translation of the scriptures in the world.

Anyone who knows a little bit of Tibetan knows this. If you have done some Sanskrit-Tibetan and Chinese surveys, you will know how obvious the arbitrariness of the Chinese translation of Buddhist scriptures and the characteristics that are easy to cause misunderstandings are.

Regarding the information on the transformation of Indian Mahayana Buddhism into Esoteric Buddhism, Ren Jiyu's book is absolutely unreadable. I still recommend Akira Hirakawa's "History of Buddhism in India" (History of Buddhism), Spring and Autumn Society. Taiwan's Shang Zhou once produced a translation by Dr. Zhuang Kunmu.

The entire fifth chapter is devoted to this, and the text also lists a large number of reference books, which are really a must-read for researchers.

Esoteric Buddhism has a lot of controversy online, and the scriptures of Tibetan Buddhism have many loopholes. It is recommended that it be prudent to study the Pure Land sect. Don't fall into the devil's path. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

Buddhism: Buddhism originated in India in the 5th century BC.

Later, it spread throughout Asia.

There are faithfuls all over the world. Buddhism was not founded on a belief in a single or multiple gods.

Rather, it is based on the teachings of the Buddha (the Enlightened One). The Buddha taught his followers how to get rid of pain and trouble.

And give them advice on how to live. Buddhists follow the example of the Buddha.

In order to attain a state of higher awareness that is closer to what the Buddha himself experienced, that is, enlightenment. and the rise of Mahayana Buddhism in the future.

It is not just for the monks.

Anyone should be saved.

As a result, various interpretations of Buddhism and various methods of becoming a Buddha have emerged. At the same time, in addition to the historical Shakyamuni Buddha.

Amitabha also appeared.

The concept of law is also important.

In the seventh century A.D., Indian Buddhism was introduced to Tibet, and Indian Buddhism and the ancient Zhangxiong Buddhism Yongzhong Buddhism each absorbed many of each other's content and developed separately. Indian Buddhism and Yongzhong Buddhism are completely identical in the origin of their beliefs. Indian Buddhism absorbed a large amount of the content of Yongzhong's religion, so that it could take root in the society of the time and gradually develop into modern "Tibetan Buddhism".

Buddhism in India and Buddhism in China are both reformed Buddhism.

It is not the same as the original Buddhism of the past.

If there is a connection between them, it is that two different reformed branches, True Buddhism, have been lost in India, and now on their side is Protestantism, which combines Brahmanism with some other religions.

It's called Hinduism, and it has nothing to do with the primitive Buddhism of history!

If we talk about the relationship between Chinese Buddhism and Indian primitive Buddhism.

Then, after Shakyamuni attained Nirvana, there were two relatively large reforms of Buddhism, in fact, at that time, they were already unrecognizable.

In the past, Buddhism was dedicated to Shakyamuni.

Now it's the Dover faith.

There is a big difference from the basic precepts to the entire practice method and the state of enlightenment, if there is a historical connection, it is that Indian Buddhism was introduced to China, but it disappeared in India, and Buddhism after reaching China is not the original Indian Buddhism, but the improved Buddhism, and the current Southeast Asian Buddhism is also different.

Chinese Buddhism is the localization of Indian Buddhism, and it is the product of the integration of China's local culture and folklore, such as the relationship between Marxism and *** thought.

At that time, the teacher of the Bodhidharma Patriarch said that Aurora (China) had a great success atmosphere, so that he came to China to live all beings, and then the Bodhidharma Patriarch came, Zen Buddhism prevailed, it should be that since then, India has gradually no Mahayana Buddhism, only Hinayana Buddhism, and now the authentic Buddhism is only in China.

Buddhism was introduced to China from India, and Mahayana Buddhism developed in China, and India was mainly Theravada Buddhism. However, the state religion of India is Hinduism, not Buddhism.

In the 49th year of Shakyamuni Buddha's proclamation, some of the Hinayana teachings were accepted by the neighbors of India, and all the teachings of the Mahayana were accepted and practiced in China.

Hinduism has essentially completely detached itself from the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, and only a small number of Theravada teachings exist in India. The center of gravity of Buddhism has long since shifted to China, where it has flourished.

Buddhism in China was imported from India.
