essential information

Faxuan (AD 434-516), the common surname Wang, Shan (now Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province). His father, Wang Daoji, believed in Buddhism, and often took xiaofaxuan to temples to burn incense and pray. Little Faxuan was deeply influenced. At the age of seven, he had the idea of becoming a nun. From then on, he became a vegetarian and kept fast. He was as pure as a child.

Life of the characters

At the age of 18, Faxuan had already read the whole Lotus Sutra thoroughly. He was familiar with the gist of the Sutra. Sometimes he occasionally explained the passage to others, and often analyzed the essence of samadhi in detail. From then on, for some unknown reason, whether sitting or sleeping, Faxuan was covered by a tent, sighing as a miracle.

A man should marry a woman. When the neighbors saw that FA Xuan had grown up, his eyes were bright, and his cheeks were dyed with peach, they were constantly approached by people and took the initiative to speak to the media. The parents repeatedly asked her, "daughter, you have grown up. It's time to get married. If you marry a suitable family early, it's better to be a parent. Next door, sister-in-law Zhang has come to talk to each other for several times. She is young and has high moral character. What do you think

After hearing this, FA Xuan said, "my daughter is unfilial and has not been able to comply with my parents' wishes. However, parents believe in Buddhism. It's better to let their daughter cut her hair and become a monk. It must be of great merit. In addition, after this, people will not talk about matchmaking again, or they will return the two old people to their purity. "

A few days later, mom and dad discussed it and asked her daughter to think it over. As a result, Faxuan's intention to become a nun was irreparable, so instead of persuading them, the parents took the initiative to bring Faxuan to the nun master Denis of Qiming temple and became a nun.

Ever since Faxuan put on his Dharma suit and became a monk, he has been practising hard. He usually takes the Jinzhang Baogai with him. Sometimes it suddenly disappears, and there is no reason.

After more than two years of reading scriptures and living in a Buddhist monastery, Faxuan has reached the age of 20. In this year, the Dharma preaching received the full precepts. From then on, he became more and more indignant and strong. He studied the Buddhist scriptures and doctrines, and had a deeper understanding of the various Sutras in the Dharma Sutra.

At this time, at the end of Liu Song Dynasty, there was a monk Rou who came all the way to Suzhou and Zhejiang. In Gusu, Shanyin, Shengshan, and Lingyin Temple of dacha in eastern Zhejiang, he had a great Buddhist Dharma and preached Buddhist scriptures. Naturally, he was thirsty for this opportunity and refused to let it go. After listening to it, he studied it carefully and further expanded his vision.

During the reign of Yongming (483-493 AD), Emperor Wu of Qi Dynasty, FA Xuan received ten recitation laws from master Huixi. Since then, his studies have been increasing day by day and his ideas have been greatly developed.

From the Qiming temple in Shanzhong, we bid farewell to our teacher, deli, and come to Shanyin. We set up another mountain to recruit the Ming Temple and teach the Scriptures. At that time, the audience admired the great knowledge of FA Xuan, so they gave up their bags one after another to decorate the temple. As a result, FA Xuan became famous in eastern Zhejiang.

In those years of Zhaoming temple, besides preaching Buddhist scriptures, he also used the money and things given by the benefactor to smelt and cast Buddhist statues, and spent a lot of time writing Buddhist scriptures. After many years of painstaking management, Zhaoming temple is like Hongli.

At that time, the world's famous artists, such as Zhang Yuan of Wujun, gengyong of Yingchuan, and Zhou Yu of Runan, admired the great name of faxuanni and came to the temple in person to salute him. Xiao Zhaozhou, the king of Baling in the Southern Qi Dynasty, went out to guard Kuaiji (now Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province), and specially ordered to provide more support to the FA Xuan nuns of Zhaoming temple. Later, Xiao liangjianguo and Wang Yuanjian of Hengyang made a special trip to the county to ask FA Xuan to be his mother's teacher and give advice.

In his later years, Faxuan was very honored and enjoyed a good reputation. In the 15th year of Tianjian (516 A.D.), Faxuan was 83 years old. He bid farewell to the world and went to the kingdom of Buddha.
