Guru Kumarosh
Guru Kumarosh was a highly enlightened monk of the Later Qin Dynasty, as well as a famous philosopher and Buddhist scholar. Kumarosh was gifted and intelligent from an early age, and his fame spread throughout the Western Regions as a teenager. His father, Kumo luoyan, came from a prominent family and was once the prime minister of the imperial court, and later abandoned his official position to travel around the world to cultivate. While in Kamezi, he met the sister of King Kamezi and the two fell in love and gave birth to Kumarosh. Guru Kumarosh was now said to be a mixed-race man with a very good appearance, and many people said that he was the reincarnation of the Sariputta.
Guru Kumarosh was the ancestor of Chinese Buddhism, and his translations are almost incomparable to those of Buddhism. According to the records, he translated more than thirty sutras, nearly three hundred volumes, which are very exquisite. Kumarosh can be said to be a genius who can speak when he is half a year old. He can read when he is three years old, can read all kinds of books at the age of five, and is a prodigy compared to the average person.
Master Kumarosh was so wise, why didn't he study and get a meritorious name, but eventually became a generation of high monks? This may have been influenced by the family, and his father abandoned the official school. When Kumarosh was seven years old, his mother took him with him to monasticism. At that time, he was able to recite tens of thousands of words of mantras every day and began to study Buddhist attainments. When he was twelve years old, he returned to Guizi with his mother, and along the way he learned many Buddhist translations. After returning to Guizi, he studied the sutras assiduously and later became a Madhyamaka master.
Master Kumarosh was not only handsome in appearance, but also very good in writing, which could be said to be first-class at that time. Such a highly enlightened monk, if he had not broken the vows at the age of thirty-six, said that he would become the second Buddha. At that time, it was rumored that in order to compete for Kumarosh, Former Qin and Later Qin had launched two wars.
Kumarosh breaks the vows
Kumarosh is one of the four great translators of Chinese Buddhism and a master of linguistics. He was born in what is now Kucha, Xinjiang, and his family lineage is very good, and his ancestors are generations of Xiangguo. Kumarosh was gifted and intelligent from an early age, able to read before the age of one and reading books at the age of five. When he was seven years old, his mother took him to the family with him and traveled to many places, because of his talent and deep knowledge of Buddhism.
Kumarosh was a high-ranking monk, so why is it recorded in history that he broke his vows twice? According to some historical sources, Kumarosh's first marriage was forced to break his vows. At that time, Former Qin Lüguang attacked the guizi state, and Kumarosh became a prisoner. Due to the fame of Kumarosh, the Former Qin Emperor wanted to take it for himself, so he drunk him and locked him up with the daughter of King Guizi. His experience was very similar to the combination of the Virtual Bamboo and the Princess of Xixia in the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon, but the ending of the two pairs was different.
The second breaking of the vows by Kumarosh was even more incredible, when the Later Qin Emperor enjoyed listening to his teachings. Kumarosh told the emperor that he saw two little men standing on his shoulders and could only use the girl to make him go away. Later, the emperor rewarded him with a palace maid and gave birth to two sons in a row.
The reason why Kumarosh broke the vows twice was not his own will on the surface. However, after careful consideration, although the first break of the ring was broken, it still showed that his personal will was not firm enough. The second time he broke the vows, he himself told the emperor that there were two little people standing on his shoulders, but in fact this was what he himself said, whether it was true or not, no one knew. In general, the breaking of the vows of Kumarosh is mainly determined by the combination of external forces and subjective consciousness. From ancient times to the present, there are many enlightened monks like Kumarosh who marry and have children, which does not judge their personal good or bad.
Kumarosh swallows needles
As we all know, China's Buddhist culture has a long history, which has lasted for thousands of years, has a long history, and is broad and profound. Every time there is a traditional festival in China, people who go up to the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha are endless and bustling, which shows that the influence of Buddhist culture on our country is extremely far-reaching. In the history of our country, there have also been many high-ranking monks, and today we will talk about the story of Kumarosh swallowing needles.
Kumarosh was a senior monk and translator of Buddhist scriptures during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China. It is reported that Kumarosh has loved Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, and often picks up lamps to read at night and study all night. He is the author of dozens of Buddhist classics, and I know that they are still being circulated. He did not like fame and fortune and longed for the pure life of the Buddhist family. Before he entered the palace, he was admired by everyone in the folk and was already very famous, and almost no one knew the name of this high monk. Later, Yao Xing attacked Houliang, personally welcomed the monk into Chang'an, and opened a series of works and translations on Buddhist scriptures, which was very grand and sensational. We all know that monks are not allowed to break the vows, but Yao Xing has always wanted to have someone to succeed Kumarosh, hoping that he can have children. So even though Kumarosh was a monk, he had his own wife and children. This was a sensation at the time, and even became a common practice. Countless monks followed suit and took wives. This made Kumarosh feel very distressed, so he gathered the monks and said to a bowl full of needles, If you can swallow the needle like me, I will agree to your wife, and swallow the needle. When the people saw it, they felt that Kumarosh had superiority and did not dare to follow suit, so they cut off the idea of marrying a wife.
