Master Koichi and the Nichiren Uchiyama became acquainted and formed a book relationship, which was a bridge built by NatsumiZun. Xia Junzun was a colleague and old friend of Master Hongyi's first division in Zhejiang Province before his ordination, and he ran an enlightened bookstore in Shanghai at that time. Natsumizu is also a friend of Uchiyama's finished manufacturing. Professor Chen Xing's examination, Neishan and Hongyi first met at the end of October 1929, when Master Hongyi traveled from the Evening Qingshan House of Baima Lake in Shangyu to Xiamen Nanputuo Temple via Ningbo Port, and stayed in Shanghai on the way (see "Li Shutong - Master Hongyi's Long Genealogy").
Uchiyama later wrote the article "Memories of Master Koichi", recalling the first meeting and the book he had concluded. According to Uchiyama's recollection, Natsumizun said to him at the time, "I want to introduce someone to meet you, and if I have a phone call, I will ask you to come." Within a few days, Xia Junzun called and agreed to meet at the Gongdelin Vegetarian Restaurant on Beijing Road. After the meeting, Natsumi introduced each other to Uchiyama and Master Koichi. After the meal, Xia Junzun said to Uchiyama, "There is also a kind of book called the "Outline of the Commentary on the Commentary on the Huayan Sutra", which is being printed, and this kind of book is only printed in twenty-five copies, and I want to send twelve of them to the Japanese side, and after the book is published in the future, it will also be sent to the Honorable Place, please." Uchiyama agreed and asked Master Koichi where to send him. Master Koichi said, "Everything please!" "Answer. Master Hongyi then said, "I'm afraid it won't be able to be preserved for a long time in China, so it's better to send it to Japan." "This is the beginning of the conclusion of the book relationship between Master Koichi and Uchiyama.
Master Koichi.
Master Hongyi said that yunyun could not be preserved for a long time in China, probably because of the historical facts that there were frequent wars and chaos in China's history, and the cultural relics were often destroyed. A few years ago, the author tried to write the reading notes of "YuMo in the Matrix Garden", Yun: "The encounter between the collection of antique calligraphy and painting by Qing Guangcheng in the chaotic world of song and Jin, and the encounter between the collection of cultural relics and calligraphy and painting by Mr. Ye Gongqiu in the recent world, we may imagine the huge number of cultural relics destroyed by our country in the past thousand years, and the great damage suffered by civilization." Mr. Liu Pansui wrote "The Doom of China's Golden Stone" in the spring twilight of the year of Jia Shu (1934 A.D.), which recounted the history of the destruction of gold and stone tools from the Zhou To Qing Dynasties, and lamented that "the speed of the process of destruction can never be shocked". "The monks Chen and Sui Jian Zhiyong, the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi, have more than 800 copies of the "Thousand Character Text" of the True Grass, which are divided into various temples in eastern Zhejiang, but the Zhiyong Ink Ink True Grass "Thousand Character Text", the only one that has survived to this day, was brought back to Japan by the Envoy of the Tang Dynasty in that year, and is now collected by the Japanese Ogawa Clan. Those who are familiar with Chinese history should not be shocked by these few words spoken by Master Hongyi.
The Compilation of the Treatise on the Neglect of the Huayan Classics is a compilation of the Tang Dynasty Huayan scholar Li Tongxuan's Treatise on the Xinhua Yan Classics and the Tang Dynasty monk Chengguan's Huayan Jing DaShu Qian, specifically for the annotation of the Huayan Classics. According to the Zen master of the Qing Dynasty, at that time, "the Zen people liked to read the "Treatise" but did not know the vast subtlety of the "Loose Money"; the speaker liked to read the "Loose Money" but did not know the "Treatise" was straight and fast", and each of them had a bias. Therefore, the "Treatise on the Xinhua YanJing" and the "Huayan Jing Da Shu Qian" were passed together and compiled into this book, which was paid for during the Kangxi Dynasty. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, this book was rarely circulated. “...... Master Hongyi Yougushan Yongquan Monastery found that the edition of this book was complete, and daxi raised funds to print twenty-five copies" (see the advertisement "Compilation of the Huayan Sutra" in Volume 12, No. 2 of the Haiyin Chao, March 1931), and the advertisement published in the Haiyin Chao said that "this book has not been compiled into the Japanese collection, and it can be especially cherished." Gushan Yongquan Temple is in present-day Jin'an District, Fuzhou.
The Compilation of the Huayan Sutra by Master Hiroichi in Kyoto's Manfuku-ji Temple.
Master Hongyi found a complete edition of this classic at Yongquan Temple in Gushan and handed it over to the Fuzhou Buddhist Studies Bookstore for printing. On November 19, 1930 (the 29th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar), Master Hongyi sent a letter to neishan in Shanghai at the Jinxian Temple in Cixi, informing him that Neishan's "Compilation of the Huayan Sutra" had been printed in Fuzhou and had been transported to Xiamen and stored at Su Huichun's residence at Nanputuo Temple. Each book is forty-eight huge volumes, and the weight is very large, and It is difficult for Su Jushi to find someone to send to Shanghai for a while, "Ren Ren (Wei Qiang case, referring to the completion of Neishan) If there are friends who are wandering in Xiamen, beg Pi to go to Nanputuo Temple to collect this book from Su Jushi and try to ship it to Shanghai, which is the most convenient." The letter stated the formalities for obtaining the book: "Attach a piece of paper, if the entrusted person goes to Nanputuo Temple to collect it from Su Jushi, he must take this paper as a certificate." The epigraph at the end of the letter reads: "Your True Sect once set up a missionary on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, which was held by The Abbot of Kanda Shangren. Kanda Uehito goes to The Nam putuo Temple Buddhist College twice a week to teach Japanese. Or topi on behalf of the contact is also appropriate. Beggars. Kanda Ueto and Su Hui jun are good friends. The letter gave a detailed account of how to receive the book, with a simple and gentle tone.
Master Hongyi's letter also introduced the book and some of the reprints to Uchiyama: "This book is stored in Gushan, Fuzhou, and there are very few people who know it. The copies printed in the early Qing Dynasty are already very rare. A few years ago, Xu Jushi in Beijing bought an old printed copy at a huge sum of money, which was regarded as an arch. The new edition of this new printing costs 20 yuan per part. Although it is not as beautiful as the old sealers, it is still simple and considerable, and the people of your country should be very happy. Chen Xing's compilation of "Li Shutong- Master Koichi's Long Genealogy" includes this letter in its entirety, and determines that the year of the letter is 1930, not 1929, as stated by Kubo, a professor at Fukuyama University in Japan.
Uchiyama's "Memories of Master Koichi" says that he received these twelve "Compilations of the Huayan Sutra" and gave them to relevant universities and monasteries in Japan. After that, Kyoto's Tofuku-ji Temple asked a friend of Uchiko-san to come and ask for this book, but Uchiyama no longer had this book in hand, so he had to write a letter to Master Hongyi to ask for the scriptures, and Master Hongyi entrusted someone to send a copy from Nanputuo Temple in Xiamen. Unexpectedly, Kyoto's Myoshi-ji Temple also asked someone to come and ask for it, and Uchiyama wrote to Master Koichi again. At this time, the mage only had one of his own circles. However, Uchiyama still received a copy from a layman in Tianjin, saying that it was sent on behalf of Master Hongyi. Soon after, Uchiyama received a copy personally sent by Master Koichi, who said in his letter that this sutra was really precious, and that it would not be possible to keep it in his possession forever, so it would be better to find a suitable place to store it. Uchiyama opened this scripture, and in it there was a careful circle of Master Hongyi with a Zhu pen, and he knew that this was the master's own one. Because no one came back for a while, Uchiyama left the book in the bookstore for the time being.
Kyoto Manpukuji Temple.
Soon after the "9/18" incident, Uchiyama temporarily closed the bookstore and returned to Japan. One day, Uchiyama took a walk to Wanfu Temple on Berberine Mountain. Manfuku-ji Temple, Berberia Mountain, Japan, is located in the Uji area near Kyoto. Uchiyama hangs a large wooden fish reception in the temple and chats with a day watchman. During the conversation, Uchiyama inadvertently spoke of the "Compilation of the Huayan Sutra". The monk knew that the person in front of him was the complete construction of the book given by Master Dai Hongyi, and he was overjoyed, so he expressed his wish to receive the book to Uchiyama. Uchiyama said that after returning to Shanghai, he was willing to give this sutra book circled by the master to the temple. After Uchiyama returned to Shanghai, fortunately the shop was unharmed, so he sent the book to the Huang barberry Mountain Manfuku-ji Temple in Kyoto. The temple received the book and wrote a thank-you note. Uchiyama gathered all the thank-you letters together and forwarded them to Master Koichi. This is the relationship between Master Koichi and Uchiyama' sutras.
In addition to the letter from Master Hongyi to Uchiyama, there are two more that can be seen today: one written on February 10, 1931 (the twenty-third day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar), and one written on February 16 of the same year (the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar), also at the Wenzhou Fajie Temple.
On February 10, this letter expressed "endless gratitude" to the ten kinds of Pumen pins sent by Kuan yong Temple. It is speculated that this was a gift from Kuanyong Temple after receiving the "Compilation of the Huayan Sutra" sent by Uchiyama Dai. Located in Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Kuanei-ji Temple is a Temple of Tendai-munmuneji in Japan. The Pumen Pin is the twenty-fifth article of the Lotus Sutra. In his letter, Master Hongyi said, "This sutra is a treasure that is now desirable. Cherish it and pass it on to immortality." The Master said that he had written a separate letter to Kuan Yong Monastery to "state his gratitude." Therefore, the next letter to Uchiyama is to "serve the benevolent ones and thank them for the work of introduction."
The letter on February 16 first expressed his gratitude to Uchiyama for sending the "Compilation of the Commentaries on the Commentary on the Huayan Sutra" to all parts of Japan, saying that he could not reciprocate, "I would like to send a letter to the twenty leaves of the humble book, and talk about the offering of The Fa Xi." The letter ends with the statement that he "will soon go to another place to study, and there will be no place to communicate later." If the Letter of Lotus Hui, beg to send shanghai ZhaoFeng Intersection Enlightened Bookstore Xia Junzun Resident handed over to Hongyi to receive it also."
Xia Junzun.
These two letters were included in Chen Xing's "Li Shutong-Hongyi Master's Chronicle Of Genealogy". In these two letters, it can also be seen that Master Hongyi treats people and things carefully, treats things carefully, is harmonious and benevolent, has a beginning and an end, and does not leak. It is worth emulating in my generations, whether secular or religious. In 1931, Master Koichi was 52 years old.
The Neishan Bookstore, which is run by Uchiyama in Shanghai, is also a frequent destination for Lu Xun. Neishan was also a friend of Lu Xun.' According to the data, neishan completed the opening of the Neishan Bookstore in Shanghai, which was originally in Weishengli (now Lane 1881, North Sichuan Road) next to the Yuqingfang Lane on North Sichuan Road in Hongkou, and moved to No. 11 Shigaota Road (now Shanyin Road) on North Sichuan Road in 1929. Does Master Koichi ask Uchiyama to send the "Compilation of the Commentaries on the Huayan Sutra" from all over Japan today? The author asked Mr. Chen Xing, and replied that "some of them are preserved." The One-Manfuku-ji Temple of Huangbei Mountain in Kyoto, which I know, was handed over from Uchiyama to the temple, and this part that Master Hiroichi personally circled is still preserved in the temple. Monk Tanaka Chimachi, the head of the Wenhua Hall of Wanfu Temple in Huangbei Mountain, also told visiting Chinese guests about the origin of this sutra, Shi Wei, January 5, 2020. This is also comforting.
