Haizhuang Temple is a large temple in Guangzhou, with a long history, located in today's Haizhu District between Tongfu Middle Road and Nanhua Middle Road. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Haizhu Temple gathered a large number of famous monks and laymen, which had a profound impact on the Buddhist tradition and poetic achievements in the Lingnan region. This article only briefly describes the relationship between Kaidoji Temple and present day.
Jin Wu (1633-1681), also known as Worm Wood (字 Worm Wood), was the son of Panyu Wanshi (潘禺萬氏), a natural monk who attained the Dharma and was his first Dharma heir. The natural monk is a unique disciple of the Void Hidden Path, and belongs to the Boshan lineage of the Cao Dong Sect. Imaba is the 35th generation of the CaoDong Sect and later the abbot of Haidong Temple.
Regarding the life of Jin wu, his disciple Jin Shi (澹回) wrote a biography for him, which is contained in the "Quotations of Zen Master A Zi" and the Sixty-first Biography of Qing Ruan Yuan's "Guangdong Tongzhi", this article is of great value for understanding the life of Jin Wu, and the text of which is reproduced is as follows:
The A-word master has no words now, and he has obtained the Dharma natural monk. The son of Panyu Wanshi, the father of all the births, sat on the line of the plant, and refused to eat and drink for the forbidden soldiers. Shi Baoshu book coupons, get full again. Qian Yin came out and cried. Yin was stunned, pity the teacher's childishness, but asked for a verdict to get an explanation. Master: "If you are late, you will die." "Yin Yuyi, is established. The forbidden soldier sighed, "I sold it for my widow." ”
According to the above, there is no teenager who is smart today. There is no process of taking refuge in the Dharma, which is continued in the upload:
Now there is no 16-year-old teacher who is a natural monk, and at the age of 19, he entered Kuanglu, Jiangxi with his teacher. Later Nature sent Himon to visit Master Hanke in Shenyang to exercise his spirit of bearing hardships and standing hard work. He returned to Guangzhou three years later. In the first year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1662), now there is no inheritance of the heart seal to receive the mantle, with the chief order of the main hai building, the opening of the fa hai building.
Imamizu is very closely related to Kaidoji Temple. During the Kangxi Dynasty, there was no abbot of haizhuang today. In his daily life as abbot, he worked hard and complained, treated others sincerely, and practiced what he preached. Nowadays, there is no way to carry out large-scale expansion with the gratifying strength of the King of Pingnan, and twenty-three buildings such as the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Heavenly King Hall and the Mountain Gate have been built successively.
It is still possible to worship the Buddha, and it has nothing to do with today. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, led an army south to besiege Guangzhou, and after nine months, they attacked Guangzhou, and the Qing soldiers slaughtered the city for ten days, killing hundreds of thousands of people. There is no requirement for refugees to recite the phrase "In the beginning of man, nature is good" in order to pray to the bodhisattva for peace. When Queen Pingnan learned of this, she personally went to Haizhu Temple to see that there was no present, and now there was no requirement: "The great king has compassion as his heart and transcends all sentient beings." Shang Kexi knew that he had killed too much, and in order to atone for his sins, he decided to donate money to build the Hall of the Heavenly King, and his wife donated money to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
In the following year, the four Heavenly King Halls and the wei and galan halls were added. Subsequently, cong xiantang, Tibetan scripture pavilion and monks' houses, zhai halls and other places, and planted trees, forming a flower field Chunxiao, ancient temple Samyun and other landscapes, there were more than 100 monks at that time, the temple was magnificent, and Hualin, Guangxiao, Longevity, Big Buddha and other temples, known as one of the five jungles of Guangfu, became a lingnan celebrity Yashi Yashu xiuyu resort, has the reputation of "sea building bureau style, Hongkuo armor in Lingnan".
In 1674, he went north to collect the Tibetan scriptures, returned to Haizhu in 1675, and died of illness six years later at the age of 49. Haizhu Temple also has a pagoda without monks, which was erected in the nineteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1680) and is a standing stone for the monks of Haizhu Temple.
There is no abbot of Kaido-ji Temple, which has a great influence. In the heyday of Haizhu Temple, there were more and more monks, and even thousands of monks. Thousands of people have taken refuge in natural monks and now there are no ones. Nowadays, there are no disciples and disciples who are famous for their disciples, such as Gu Yun and Xiangrun:
Gu Yun(古云), known as Yun'an (号云庵), was originally born as Yi Zhusheng. Eager to learn from books, read everything. At a young age, there should be a division examination (the official examination), and it is becoming increasingly famous. After cutting his hair, he became a monk and entered the sea to worship the Zen master of Azi as a teacher. In the forty-fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1705), he was seated in the Imperial Household. He is the 36th generation of the Cao Dong Sect. He is the author of the "Yuanjue Jingyi", whose poems are used as the first and last collections of "Moon Heron", as well as the quotations before and after.
Now Wu is worthy of being a monk in lingdong in the early Qing Dynasty. In terms of its great effect on Haidong Temple, among the descendants of the Caodong Patriarchate in the early Qing Dynasty, almost none of them could match the natural monks.
