Tianru

Tianru (human name) yuan Salmonella, whose name is Weize, is called tianru. He got the way from Zhongfeng and lived in the lion forest of Suzhou.

Basic introduction

Tianruweize (1286-1354) was a Zen master of linjizong in the Yuan Dynasty. He was born in Ji'an County, Jiangxi Province, with a common surname of tan. When he was young, he shaved in Heshan. Later, he went to Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang Province to learn from the Zen master Mingben (1263-1323) in Zhongfeng and became a Buddhist heir. According to tianru monk's quotations, "since I was ten years old, I've been learning to sit in a blind place, and I've been pressing greedy, angry and crazy." However, he shaved his hair in his early years and spent a period of time in the process of blind practice before he met master Ming. Later, he toured Tianmu Mountain and worshiped Zhongfeng Mingben as a teacher before he knew what it meant to participate in Zen and learn Taoism. The bitterness of the wasted time made him consciously choose Chan Jing and even advocate "the unity of Chan Jing", and he became a descendant of Huqiu School of linjizong.

However, Zen master's advocacy of "Zen pure unity" has something to do with his early experience of "Pai blind learning to sit". Because it's hard to meet a wise master, and few people can really understand the meaning of Zen; moreover, few people are painfully aware of the pain of reincarnation of life and death; and few people are able to let go of the false name and bad habits in the world

First, they didn't meet the real good knowledge and development instructions at first, so they were unstable and tended to be incorrect Second, we should not worry about life and death. We have neither the courage to make progress nor the ambition to live forever Third, they can't break or let go of the vanity and wealth in the world, or they can't let go of the bad habits in the world.

However, Zen master put forward the view of "pure land Zen, pure land Zen". Is it the pure land method to absorb Zen, or the pure land method to contain Zen? However, from the four material bamboo slips of Yongming Yanshou (904-975) to choose the problem of Zen and pure land, the author thinks that the four material bamboo slips highly praise the pure land Dharma, such as the isolated peak and the towering wall, which makes people have an insurmountable potential. However, from the perspective of Zen master's identity, it makes people feel that he belittles Zen and advocates the pure land Dharma. Is that the case? This paper intends to follow Weize's discussion of Si Liao Jian to carry out the real meaning of "pure land Zen and pure land Zen", and to elaborate how Weize examines the entanglement between Zen and pure land Zen from two topics of "Zen and pure unity" and "Zen and pure double cultivation". As we all know, Yang Jing destroys Zen. We not only don't know Zen, but also don't know it. This is probably the malady of practitioners of cultivation. On the contrary, Zen advocates "pure land of idealism and self nature Buddhahood". If the great Bodhisattva does not know that this is a proven Dharma body, he can actually practice it. But if he has empty stomach and lofty mind, he abandons practice, which may be the drawback of Zen. But what we have to deal with is whether Zen and Jing can be practiced simultaneously? As well as from the Zen or from the pure and realize, to Zen and pure consistent attitude.

However, Zen master's main works are "tianru monk's quotations", "Lingyan Sutra Huijie", "pure land or ask" and so on. Among them, tianru monk's quotations was first published by his fa Si Shan Yu Suo, including four volumes of quotations and five volumes of Bie Lu, with the preface of the ninth year of Zhizheng (1349), and then two volumes of the collection of leftovers, including pure land or questions and Zongcheng essentials. In the fourteenth year of Zhizheng reign (1354), it was reorganized into nine volumes in yunqi temple, and the pure land or question was moved to another volume. The quotations of tianru monk, which are included in the Sutra of Sutra Sutra of Kazuo compiled by Nakano, etc., are mainly published in the Edo era. This edition includes two prefaces of Yang zongduan and wuxueyeren. At the end of the volume, Ouyang Xuan's (1283-1357) "Shizilin Puti orthodox temple" is attached. In addition, Huang Ben Jianwu and Okada Wuyan's chief editor: "Japanese Heke photocopies of modern Chinese Books Series" are photocopied accordingly Issue.

It has been around for about two hundred years, and it is known as "praising goodness, but practicing cautiously." However, some people hold opposite views, such as Feng Mengzhen (1548-1595)

Since the sutra was translated into Sanskrit, there have been more than ten explanations. Only heaven is like Huijie, and scholars believe in it. I think it's enough to finish the lenyan. I don't know that the lenyan in this heaven is not the lenyan mentioned by the Tathagata.

He thinks that there are too many subjective opinions in the interpretation of the Sutra of Lengyan, because when he quoted the explanatory books of various sects to interpret the Sutra of Lengyan, he sometimes had personal opinions, so the interpretation of the Sutra of Lengyan was questioned. Qian Qianyi made a more penetrating judgment

Some people say that this day is like "Lengyan" and not like "Lengyan" mentioned by Tathagata. "Meng (Chao)" specifies this "Hui" (HUI) Jie ". Although the seal of the emperor's clan is the original Tianmu, the teaching eye is exclusive to Tiantai.

It should be correct to use Tiantai Sect's doctrines to interpret Lengyan Sutra. However, he also used the Tiantai doctrine to lay out his pure land or question, that is, he used a lot of Tiantai doctrine to expound the pure land thought, and even the concept of Zen pure unity.

Ding Fubao's Buddhist dictionary

The nine explanations in the Tang and Song dynasties are attached with supplementary notes, which are called Huijie, and are popular in the world. "Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and more than two hundred years ago, those who listen to Lengyan at home only know how to understand it, but they don't advocate it." Feng Mengzhen's origin is in Bai Wen, and the preface says: "since the translation of Buddhist scriptures, there have been more than ten schools of interpretation. Only heaven can understand, and scholars believe in it. I don't know if it's heaven, but it's not what the Tathagata says. "
