There is a figure in the history of Chinese Buddhism who cannot be bypassed, this person is The Three Tibetans of Kumarosh from Guizi in the Western Regions, who is known as the "Four Great Translators of Chinese Scriptures" along with Xuanzang, Bukong, Zhenzhen and others. The contribution of Kumarosh Sanzang to Chinese mainland Buddhism is extremely far-reaching, and the Buddhist scriptures he translated are the only scriptures that meet the requirements of "Sindaya", and Kumarosh is unprecedented in the number of translated Buddhist scriptures, except for the Tang Xuanzang Sanzang, who can be called "the one who has never come after".
Chinese mainland the eight major sects of Buddhism, such as Tendai Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, Three Treatises Sect, Dharma Sect, etc., all take the Buddhist scriptures translated by Kumarosh as the fundamental sutras, such as the "Middle Theory", "Hundred Treatises" and "Twelve Treatises" of the Three Treatises Sect, the Tendai Sect's "Myofa Lotus Sutra" and the Pure Land Sect's classic "Amitabha Sutra", all of which are based on the Buddhist scriptures translated by Kumarosh Sanzang.
In addition to his own contributions, Kumarosh Sanzang also taught a large number of good disciples, and his famous disciples were monk Zhao, who wrote the Theory of the Indomitable Of Things, as well as Daosheng, Daorong, and Sangrui, who were called the "Four Saints of Shimen" by later generations of Buddhists.
The life of Guru Kumarosh was full of legends, especially when he broke his vows in the red dust twice, which attracted the attack of some conservative Buddhist monks at that time. "The world's Peace and Dual Perfection, not to live up to rulai, not to live up to Qing" is just the imagination of later generations of literati to add oil and vinegar, Master Kumarosh has never failed Rulai, even if it is twice broken, it is not the original intention of this Western Heavenly Buddha.
Master Rosh once said this to the people around him: "I am like a lotus that grows in sludge, and you should learn the part of my lotus, not take the mud under my feet." "
The lotus-tongued Master Kumarosh was born in Tianzhu and his grandfather was a powerful Xiangguo, but for some reason, his father Hatsuma Yan did not inherit the position of Xiangguo. Kumayan chose to go to Kamezi Tokusatsu to be a national teacher, and Kumoroshi's mother was the sister of King Kamezi, so Roshi mage was quite noble as soon as he was born. Kumarosh's mother, Jai Po, was a Buddhist and after several requests to King Kamez finally became a bhikshuni as she wished, and Guru Kumarosh's Buddhahood began.
At the age of seven, Guru Kumarosh chose to become a young shami, and his father did not object to this, and as early as the age of seven, Kumarosh had been studying Buddhist texts with some senior monks in the palace. At the age of nine, Guru Kumarosh followed his mother to Gybin to seek the Dharma, and this departure also began the prelude to his life's wanderings.
"The phoenix has never inhabited the sycamore, and the Vajrapani is like a vain talk", Kumarosh Sansa was ten years old when he faced the monks of the Country of Gubin, and with his superhuman memory and strong logical thinking ability, he won a great victory in this debate. Since then, the name of the god and handsome man of Kumarosh Sanzang has spread throughout the temple, and both the white-haired old monk and the famous dignitaries have bowed down to it, but his mother and son have not stayed too long in the temple.
At the age of twelve, the masters embarked on the road of study, and after passing through the endless desert Gobi, they finally came to the kingdom of Shahle, and this time it was also the starting point of the master's transition from Hinayana to Mahayana. After worshipping Buddha Yeshe as his teacher, Guru Kumarosh quickly integrated the Theravada texts, especially all the philosophical theories of the Āvata, but the master soon encountered opponents.
This opponent was Master Suliyah, and during the course of their public debate, Master Kumarosh discovered that his theory could not answer Sumer's question and thus went down the Path of Mahayana. After carefully studying the Treatise on the Middle And the Treatise on the Twelve Doors given by Master Suma, Master Rosh began his study of the Mahayana Madhyamaka school.
Two years later, Kumarosh and his mother, Jaime, embarked on a journey home, and this homecoming trip was also the first time that Roshi had shined in the countries of the Western Regions. The well-fed Master Rosh returned to his hometown of Guizi, and the four sand gates flocked to him to ask him to give a wonderful speech, and the reputation of the young genius spread throughout the Western Regions.
But the time when Master Kumarosh was so happy was about to pass quickly, and Jian Jian, who had unified the north and established the Great Qin State, invited the master to the Central Plains and did not hesitate to send troops to attack the Guizi Kingdom. The final result was that Bai Chun, the king of the Guizi Kingdom, was defeated and fled, while the Western Heavenly Buddha's son Kumarosh Sanzang was left with Lü Guang, and during this time Lü Guang, the general under Jian Jian, did a rather disgraceful thing.
Master Rosh did not want to return to the Central Plains with Lü Guang, and Lü Guang, who did not understand Buddhism, did not have any courtesy to this famous monk of the "Daoliu Western Regions", and he devised a thing that would bring shame to the Buddhists of the Central Plains. Lü Guang drunk the Rosh, and then locked him up in a secret chamber with the daughter of King Guizi, for which Master Kumarosh broke his vows at the age of forty-one and followed Lü Guang around until sixteen years later, when he came to zhongyuan to propagate the Dharma.
There are two theories about the second time Master Kumarosh broke the vows, one is that after the fall of former Qin, after the rise of the Buddhist Later Qin Yaoxing, he also sent troops to compete for the master, and eventually the master was taken captive to Chang'an. However, Yao Xing forced the master to break the vows by the following means, otherwise he would not be allowed to continue his work as a translator of Buddhist scriptures.
The second theory is that the master himself took the initiative to ask for it to understand his own sins in the way of a "royal woman". But no matter what the statement is, we can speculate about the master's mental journey, from a young boy to an old man who is nearly a flower, his life has been wandering for nearly twenty years, and this life away from the fence of his homeland has forced him to protect himself in the way of breaking the vows.
For this reason, I quite disagree with the story of the breaking of the vows of Guru Kumarosh in the form of a romance novel, and in any case, such a talented Buddhist giant cannot indulge in love and love like a man and woman in the world.
The seventeen years of being captured by Lü Guang were the most difficult time in the master's life, and what kind of sadness was it that the high monks of the Western Regions who were difficult to return to their homeland were parasitic under the roof of a rude warrior in the capacity of a military staff officer?
His mother, who had studied with him since she was a child, disappeared without a trace since Master Rosh was ordained as an adult. Fortunately, Master Kumarosh survived this difficult time with amazing perseverance, and he finally appeared in the Central Plains with a new identity.
Three years after the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the Three Tibetan Masters Kumarosh came to Chang'an, and he officially began the translation of Buddhist scriptures, which can also be called an unprecedented translation of Buddhist scriptures. Master Kumarosh's translation field in Chang'an claims to have 3,000 disciples, which is the first time in Chinese history that the Buddhist scripture translation field funded by the power of the state is the most glorious moment of Central Plains Buddhism.
At this time, Kumarosh Sanzang devoted himself wholeheartedly to the translation of the Buddhist scriptures, and more than 700 Buddhist sutras, such as the Amitabha Sutra, the Great Wisdom Theory, the Middle Theory, the Hundred Treatises, the Ten Recitations, the Theory of Becoming Reality, the Vajrapani Sutra, the Shuren Yan Samadhi Sutra, and even the Theravada Nagarjuna Sutra, laid the foundation for all later Buddhist sects.
The first half of His holiness was spent as a Buddhist giant who humbly sought the Dharma, while the rest of his life was spent in Piaoping, but in any case he never failed to live up to Rulai. The fools of the world have only seen the master break the vows twice, but who can understand his helplessness at that time? There were three arhats who prophesied that "if Kumarosh were ordained before the age of thirty-five, he would become the second Buddha", but fortunately, Guru Kumarosh first broke the vows at the age of forty-one.
As for those who attacked him and slandered him, the master probably did not want to pay attention to it, and the author did not want to pay attention to it. The merits of the master have their own cause and effect to bear, how can I and other ordinary people evaluate it? I think that the relics formed by the master's lotus-like tongue should be the Buddha's best affirmation of him!
