Do all Buddhist sects worship Buddha in the same way?

There are many schools of Buddhism in China, including eight schools.

One is tantric? Also known as tantra, tantra, mantra, mantra, vajrayana, yoga tantra.

The second is Zen? Is also called

Buddhist school

Third, pure land Sect? Also known as chanting Buddha and lotus Sect.

Fourth, only know the sects? Also known as Dharma Sect, Dharma Sect, Yoga Sect and Kindness Sect?

Fifth, Jia Xiangzong? Also known as Legalism, Sanlunzong and Kongzong.

The sixth is Hua Yanzong? Also known as Xianshouzong and Fajiezong.

Seven is the French Sect? Also known as Quadrant School, Nanshan School and Nanshan School.

Eight is Tiantai Sect? Also known as Fahuazong

This is what is usually called the eight schools of sex, physiognomy, platform, sage, Zen, purity, dharma and mystery. Buddhism is blind, because the degree of recipients, that is, the different roots, as well as the different living times and living environments, the views on Buddhism vary from person to person. The characteristics of the eight sects can be summarized in one sentence:

Rich, Zen, poor, convenient, clean, patient, auspicious and empty. Traditionally, self-cultivation and self-discipline are strict, and Tiantai Sect is organized by righteousness.

esoteric buddhism

The tantric doctrine was introduced into China in the 8th century by Sumitomo Buddha, Vajrayana and Bukong, from which tantric doctrine was formed. This sect established Sammi Yoga according to the Great Sun Sutra and King Kong Ding Jing, observing things and doing things, and practicing this method of respect. This Sect is based on the mystery of the secret law. Without initiation, you are not allowed to spread and show others at will, so it is called tantric. This kind of Buddha, Peluzena, is the most revered and respected Buddha, bodhisattva or sage king chosen by scholars, and it is called the object or model of learning. To achieve all the merits and wisdom of this deity, it is necessary to practice the Three Secrets Yoga. The three secrets are body, mouth and heart, and yoga is also translated accordingly. Three secrets yoga is the corresponding three industries. Corresponding to who? In other words, the body, mouth and heart of the yogi correspond to the body, mouth and heart of the deity. When practicing Buddhism, the practitioner should be the deity, make seals with both hands, recite the true words of the deity, that is, the vision or seed words of the deity, and make sure that his three karma corresponds to the three secrets of the deity. This is yoga practice. If you complete this rule, you can immediately reach your own body. There are many profound practices, and this is just one example. This highest theory is still based on the jurisprudence of emptiness. As the saying goes, nothing is born, and nothing is empty.

Chan sect

Zen is the abbreviation of Zen, which is translated into Chinese as meditation, which means thinking in silence, and is generally called meditation. This method is to focus on a legal field and study wholeheartedly to realize self-nature. This is called Zen, so it is called Zen.

There are many kinds of Zen, including 1 vocal Zen, 2 Bodhisattva Zen, 3 Zen and 4 Super Zen.

In Zen, there is a phenomenon that suddenly rises in China, which is the so-called "teaching others" Zen. What this Sect has learned is not the two Zen Buddhism that it has learned since ancient times, but the Founder Zen Buddhism that points to the epiphany of mind. The Zen of this sect spread from bodhidharma in the early 6th century. In the past, it was said that Zen Buddhism was not written, which was called "not taught outside", but the ancestor Dharma took the four volumes of Shurangama Sutra as the initiation criterion and forbeared and wisely taught people to recite the Vajrayana Prajna. In this way, Lengga and Prajna are the classic foundations of this Sect. After that, the Six Ancestors Tanjing and many "quotations" appeared. It cannot be said that Zen has no classical foundation. Zen is very prosperous in China. In the eighth century, this school was divided into the North and the South.

Shen Xiubei Sect (about 606 ~ 706) advocated gradual repair, which flourished for a while, but soon declined;

Huineng (638 ~ 7 13) advocated epiphany, and later generations respected him as the sixth ancestor, which spread widely. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Nanzong Zen masters came forth in large numbers, and they were divided into five families and seven factions during these three or four hundred years. It is conceivable that they flourished for a while. This sect, like Pure Land Sect, has always been the most popular sect in China. Among Huineng disciples of the sixth ancestor of Nanzong,

There are Nanyue Huairang (667 ~ 744) and Qingyuan Hangsi (? ~ 740) two branches, divided into five cases and seven factions. From Nanyue, there was a school of foreign worship, and later it split into Linwa religion. Qingyuan School has three schools: Cao Dongzong School, Yunmen School and Fayan School. It was divided into five schools by these two schools, and then from Lin Jizong into Huanglong School and Yang Qi School. The first five schools are called seven schools, all of which flourished for some time, but some of them declined after some time. Later, only Lin Ji and Cao Dong's Zen spread endlessly, and Lin Ji became more prosperous. All the descendants of Zen in modern times are descendants of Lin Ji and Cao Dong.

Jingtu school

It is a Sect formed according to the Infinite Life Sutra, which advocates the concept of Buddha in order to survive in the pure land of Amitabha in the west, hence the name Pure Land Sect. This sect is divided into two ways, the hard way and the easy way. He also said that other monks wanted three monks to practice six degrees of wisdom. It is said that the practice of cultivating the pure land has been dedicated to the Buddha all his life. On his deathbed, he will rely on the wishes of Amitabha to live and raise the pure land and never retire, which becomes a relaxed way. Therefore, this Sect advocates persuading people to read Buddhism and survive in the pure land of the West. This sect is characterized by its simplicity and easy operation, which can be accepted by the broad masses. To study this Sect, you don't have to be proficient in Buddhist scriptures, study and teach them extensively, and you don't have to be good at it. You can say, live, sit and lie down, there is no Amitabha in the south. As long as you believe in it, you will never be lazy, and you will die in the pure land on your deathbed. Of course, we should also observe precepts and chant Buddhist scripture and do good deeds to help others. Because the method is simple, it is the easiest to popularize. Scholars of other schools also practice this method, which makes the Pure Land Method particularly popular in China.

The only known Sect

It is a sect founded by Maitreya, Zuo Wu and Qin Dynasty. This sect is mainly based on Shen Jiemi's Sutra, the theory of the land of the yoga master, and the theory of only knowing. Because it is based on Maitreya's theory of land and the unrecorded theory of yoga masters, it is called Yoga School. Master Xuanzang of our country translated this case and translated the Ten Teachers' Theory into Cheng Weizhi's Theory, so it was also called Fawei Zhengzong, also known as Ci Enzong.

Its teachings take five laws, three self-natures, eight knowledge and two no self as the general program, aiming at turning knowledge into wisdom and relying on it.

The five methods are: one, two, three, four and five.

The three self-natures are: all things considered, all things considered, all things considered, all things considered.

Eight knowledge is: eye knowledge, ear knowledge, nose knowledge, tongue knowledge, body knowledge, consciousness, penultimate knowledge, eighth Aryan knowledge;

The two no-selves are: man without me and law without me.

"Five Laws" is a summary of all laws in the world. "Name" and "phase" mean that all laws in the world have names and phases, which is called the method of name and phase; "Separation" refers to people's cognitive ability of subjective separation of things; "Righteousness" means that saints are pure and have no real wisdom; Ru Ru refers to truth, wisdom and truth. The "five laws" are not purely subjective and objective, but sum up all the laws.

Three self-natures: first, take persistence, say nothing, start to confuse and create a career, and become famous all over the world; Second, the three realms of mind are born according to their lives and named after them; Third, according to him, these two empty places are real. Without these three things, it is called three self-nature.

Eight senses: "knowing" means not knowing, also called heart or mind. Every living being has the cognitive function of this kind of spiritual consciousness. There are eight kinds of * * *, which are the eight kinds of knowledge listed above.

Second, there is no self: every sentient being or sentient being has no eternal entity, that is, the so-called self or soul, which is called man without me; There is no unchangeable entity in objective things, that is, self or absolute truth. Two without me. Call me and falcon, too.

This religious significance profoundly analyzes the essence of various laws and clarifies the use of mind and knowledge. Only by practicing knowledge and behavior can knowledge be transformed into wisdom and achieve liberation and bodhi. This sect was established by master Xuanzang's translation, and it is the direct successor of India's theory of "no writing, no blood".

Jiaxiangzong

It is a sect formed on the basis of Kumarajiva's translation of Guan Zhong Lun, Bai Lun and Twelve Lun. Because it is based on Three Lun Zong of Guan Zhong School, it is called Three Lun Zong.

Its teachings take truth and vulgarity as the general program and the understanding of Chinese truth as the ultimate goal.

The word "truth" of the second brother is the true meaning, which is called the true meaning from the perspective of jurisprudence and the secular truth from the perspective of the original phenomenon. From the vulgar truth of the existence of things, that is to say, all laws are empty, so the really vulgar truth is also called empty truth. Color is empty, empty is color, color is empty, truth and vulgarity are the middle way, also known as the reality of all laws. This is the central idea of this Sect. In this case, we focus on exposing the origin of all methods of purifying the world from the vacuum level of no self, five yin and twelve places, and get rid of the chaos completely, so as to establish the concept that the middle way has nothing to gain, so as to achieve its unimpeded liberation purpose. This case, in fact, is the direct successor of the middle view theory of Indian dragon tree and deva.

Huayan Sect

Based on Hua Yan Jing, there is an in-depth study and incisive interpretation of Hua Yan Jing, which is an ideological system formed on the basis of developing the previous three theories, Tiantai, Ci En, land theorist and photographer. The founder is Fazang, the first national teacher of the saints at the end of the seventh century, so it is called Xian Shouzong, also known as Hua Yanzong.

This Sect judges the whole Buddhism with five religions, and takes six phases, ten mysteries and three views as the central idea.

Five religions:

First, small teaching, that is, Hinayana teaching;

The second is to teach, that is, the doctrine that Mahayana begins its primary stage;

The third is the final teaching, that is, the doctrine of the ultimate stage of Mahayana;

The fourth is epiphany, that is, the practice of epiphany in Mahayana;

Fifth, round teaching, that is, the theory of complete harmony.

This Sect divides Buddhism into five different doctrines, one more than Tiantai Sect, so it is called five religions.

Six stages:

All-phase, out-of-phase, in-phase, out-of-phase, formed phase and bad phase.

These six stages are manifested in everything and one thing at the same time. No matter in everything or in one thing, they are opposites and complementary, at the same time, they are full, integrated and related, and do not interfere with each other, from which we can reveal the truth of the origin of the legal world.

Ten Xuan doors:

A, at the same time with the corresponding door.

Second, the realm gate of Indra network

Third, the secret is hidden and obvious.

Fourth, micro-compatible Amway Gate

Fifth, the tenth separation method is different.

Six, collect pure miscellaneous tools, Demen

Seven, one-to-many compatible with different doors

Eight, the laws are at home.

Nine, the ideal becomes a good door

Ten, ask things to show the legal solution.

The general significance of the Ten Xuanmen is to show the truth of Hua Yan Da religion, that is, everything is pure, one thing is pure, three things are pure, and at the same time it is full, interrelated and endless.

Three views:

One is the absolute view of vacuum,

Second, the concept that there is no obstacle to things,

The third is the concept of harmony throughout the week.

The establishment of the Six Phases, the Ten Xuans and the Three Views has clarified the theory of the origin of the law, the unobstructed direction, the unobstructed everything and the endless harmony in Huayanjing. Six phases and ten mysteries are based on the realm of Buddhism, and the harmony of three views is based on the wisdom of the concept of possibility. Although this endless and harmonious legal thought originated from Hua Yan Jing, it was actually created by China, whose theory of legal origin and all obstacles greatly developed Mahayana thought from India.

Lupai

Mainly to learn and study the commandments. Because of the prevalence of this situation, monks in China still attach importance to the precepts of becoming a monk and listening and riding in Mahayana. The precepts include the smell and hearing precepts and the Bodhisattva precepts. The practice mentioned here refers to the practice established by a department of Zhong Nanshan Daoxuan Law Firm according to the Listening Law. As far as precepts are concerned, there are five precepts, ten precepts and foot precepts. The five precepts are the precepts held by Buddhist disciples who become monks; The Ten Commandments and the Foot Commandments are the commandments of monks and disciples, which have been mentioned before, so I won't repeat them here. The laws and regulations of various ministries, not only the karma between precepts and precepts, but also the laws and regulations of monk groups, various karma associations, monk laws, precepts, abbot laws, Busa laws, food and clothing laws, and small things in daily life, all have detailed provisions. Because of the different times and environments, many commandments have long been abandoned. Bodhisattva precepts include the precepts of staying at home and becoming a monk. Buddhist precepts of becoming a monk, such as Brahma Sutra, have ten heavy and forty-eight light precepts, while Buddhist precepts at home, such as Youposai Sutra, have six heavy and twenty-eight light precepts. There are always people who think that the precepts of Bodhisattva are triple, which means three kinds, and they are called triple net precepts. First, it is a precept, a precept, and "all evils must be done"; The second is to learn the precepts of good law, which is "all good deeds"; Third, Rao Yi has a love ring, which is "beneficial to all beings". China is mainly Mahayana Buddhism. Here, let me briefly mention the precepts of Bodhisattva. The above is the content of the big and small multiplication commandment. Although the quartering method belongs to the discipline of Mahayana, its literal meaning is similar to Mahayana, and there has been a saying of "dividing Mahayana" since ancient times. Mahayana Buddhism prevails in China. Explaining the Dharma by Mahayana doctrine is an integral part of Mahayana precept, which is based on the dharma-taking instrument precept in the three-residence clean precept of a monk bodhisattva. For example, the four commandments of killing, stealing, lewdness and stupidity, the big ones and the small ones are all multiplied by * * *. For the study of jurisprudence, the most important thing is to be good at distinguishing, covering, holding and committing, that is, in the precepts of becoming a monk, it is not allowed to violate, but it is allowed under certain circumstances, which is called opening; Under normal circumstances and shall not be violated, this is called cover. In some cases, I don't know whether to obey or violate the precepts, so I need to study jurisprudence. According to the distinction between law and possession, lawyers should clearly define the boundaries between abstinence, shielding, possession and crime. Except for killing, stealing, lewdness and immoral under the temptation, or adding thirteen monks, eight quit monks and seventeen monks, which must be strictly observed and not violated, most other commandments are allowed under special and necessary circumstances. For example, the commandment of "don't eat in time" means that you are usually not allowed to eat after noon and are allowed to eat after work. But how to make a promise depends on the precepts. It can be seen that apart from the fundamental precepts, Buddhist precepts are not rigid, but flexible.

Tiantai Sect

It is an ideological system based on Taoism, great wisdom and the doctrine of the mean. Translated by Roche, it absorbed the ideas of various schools from India and developed in China, and reorganized them systematically. Because the founder is a wise man and lives in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang Province, he is called Tiantai Sect.

Zong Yi takes teaching at five o'clock and eight o'clock as the general program, and takes three views and three truths as the central thought.

This sect divides the study of black grass into five different periods, which are called five-time classics.

Five o'clock is the time when Hua Yan, A Han and Fang are equal, Prajna and Fa Hua are nirvana. The names of the five times are Buddhist scriptures, and it is considered that the scriptures mentioned by the Buddha cannot teach the categories of these five periods, so it is called five times.

Three views are practical views, namely, empty view, false view and middle view.

These three views can be called one thought and three views.

Harmony of three truths: truth, vulgarity and truth in China are called three truths; These three truths are three. Although the three truths are unchanged, it is no problem to say three ones, so it is called harmony and three truths. One thought, three views and three views is really the doctrine of circular religion, which shows that everything is clear and things are harmonious Tiantai Sect takes its own Sect as a circular religion, and other sects belong to the first three religions. This case summarized the thoughts of predecessors, adjusted the Buddhist teachings accurately, developed the theory of Mahayana circle teaching, and displayed China's original Mahayana thought.

The formation of eight sects

Produced in India

Buddhism is blind, because the degree of recipients, that is, the different roots, as well as the different living times and living environments, the views on Buddhism vary from person to person. In the Buddhist scriptures, it is said that "Buddhism plays the same tune, and all living beings have their own solutions according to their kinds", which is the meaning of this layer. For example, the top ten disciples of the most famous Buddha each have a special "first" word. This can be regarded as the initial symbol of Buddhism. So in the four or five hundred years after Buddhism, there were as many as twenty schools of Hinayana Buddhism in India alone. It is precisely because the Mahayana Buddhism was divided and lost the power of unified education that Mahayana Buddhism came into being in India. The mainstream of Buddhism introduced into China is Mahayana Buddhism. After Buddhism was introduced into China, there was no sectarian portal at first. Later, due to the gradual prosperity of translation, a large number of Buddhist scriptures were translated and Buddhist thinkers classified Buddhism, and sects appeared. For example, the famous Tiantai Sect "five-eight religions" and Huayan Sect "five religions and ten religions". After that, other sects also successively sentenced to teach. The judgment of religion is to explain one's own sect according to the laws (classics, laws) that Buddha said in 49 years, which belongs to the supreme circular classics that Buddha said. So-called: the masters of various sects judge each other through teaching, and the ranking of each sect depends on the grade of each sect. With the prosperity of religious judgments, portals have sprung up. Buddhism in India, Hinayana has a dispute with the twenty factions of the masses; Mahayana has a middle yoga space, and there are two situations.

Into China

After Buddhism was introduced into China, there was no difference in the size of the scriptures at first, and there was no difference in the establishment. Formed 13 schools: Legalist, Shicheng, Jia She, Sanlun, Prajna, Land Theory, Zen, Shelun, Tiantai, Jing Zong, Wei Zhi, Huayan and Tantric.

In this 13 case,

Nirvana Sect belongs to Tiantai Sect;

The land theory school belongs to the Hua Yan school;

The school of photography belongs to the school of knowing only.

Only ten cases have been circulated so far.

Later, it was determined that the Jushe School and Shicheng School in these ten cases belonged to the Hinayana Classics.

Therefore, in Mahayana Buddhism in central China, there are eight influential sects, which are still widely circulated today:

Tantric Sect, Zen Sect, Pure Land Sect, Only Knowing Sect, Jiaxiang Sect, Huayan Sect, Fazong Sect, Tiantai Sect.

Among the eight Buddhist cases in China,

Dense and pure land are close to aesthetics;

Zen is the focus of Buddhism. Master Taixu said, "The characteristic of Buddhism in China lies in Zen". Any case can be attributed to the spirit of Zen;

Knowledge-only theory is close to science;

Jiaxiang is close to philosophy;

Hua Yan and Tiantai are close to literature;

"Dharma" is the foundation of the whole Buddhism. So strictly speaking, the practice should not be your own. Legalism should belong to all sects, and as for the quality of religion, all sects are prepared.

From the late Tang Dynasty, Zen flourished in China, and then Zen and purity were combined.

Modern:

Zen has become Zen and empty clouds;

Jing Zong was printed;

Only recognize Ouyang (gradually)

The school of law gave birth to Hongyi;

Hua Yan gave Danxia;

The rooftop is idle;

But on the whole, the influence of Zen Buddhism and Confucian classics is still relatively great among the people, while the influence of epistemology is even greater in the academic circles. Tantric Buddhism is also very popular, but it's messy.

Divide sects

Speaking of various sects of Buddhism, it can be traced back to the time when Buddha first founded Buddhism. In order to adapt to the root of all beings, he talked about various Buddhism, without mentioning the differences between sects. Due to the social environment and the great virtues of past dynasties, the later generations discussed the enlightenment of the Buddha generation in various ways according to their different research interests, and combined with their personal practice experience, they produced various interpretations of the classics, and gradually formed various sects by their own teaching, of which the most representative was the Buddha.

Among the eight sects in China, they are similar in that they all flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Buddhism was introduced into China from India. After five or six hundred years of development in China, the Sui and Tang Dynasties entered a new school-building era. Due to the political division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism also formed different styles of study in the North and South. Although the Buddhist theory tends to be independent, it has not been able to systematically integrate and communicate the different viewpoints of Buddhism itself, and the independent temple economy is also in the process of formation and development. So there were no Buddhist sects at that time, only many Buddhist sects. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the establishment of the feudal unified dynasty and the full development of the temple economy, various schools of Buddhism got the opportunity to further integrate and develop. In line with the trend of ideological and cultural unification, some schools formed sects by "examining education" on the basis of unifying the North-South style of study. These sects have their own unique doctrines, canons and practice methods. In order to safeguard their religious power and economic property of temples, they imitate the secular feudal patriarchal clan system and establish their own genealogy. In their ideological system, they absorbed many traditional ideas and methods. The establishment of various Buddhist sects in China indicates that the development of Buddhism in the Central Plains has entered a peak stage.

Although the eight schools of Buddhism are the products of Buddhism in China, their fundamental basis is closely related to the teaching method mentioned by the Buddha. Each school has its own complete system and classical theoretical basis. [2]

The characteristics of the eight sects

The characteristics of the eight sects can be summarized in one sentence:

Rich, Zen, poor, convenient, clean, patient, auspicious and empty. Traditionally, self-cultivation and self-discipline are strict, and Tiantai Sect is organized by righteousness.

The phrase "Mi Fei is Zen, poor, convenient and clean" illustrates the spiritual characteristics of the three schools.

Mifu tells people that among the eight sects, if you want to learn Mifu, you must be economically rich. Tantric Buddhism is also called Tantric Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism, Mantra and Vajrayana. Because the teachings of the esoteric secrets of the Buddha who claimed to be endowed with Buddhism are true teachings, the mystery of this mantra cannot be taught at will, and it is presented to people without initiation, hence the name. Because he practices in meditation, he is also called "The Secret Story of Yoga". Tantric Buddhism was originally the product of the combination of Mahayana Buddhism (middle view, yoga) and Brahmanism-Hinduism in India after the 7th century, and soon spread to China and became a sect of Buddhism in China. Tantric altars should be very exquisite and solemn, and props should be cast in gold or silver or copper, with many styles and everything. It takes a lot of time to practice, and it must be generously supported by the guru. Therefore, we should be as dense as the law, be financially rich and have quite free time to study. So it's called "Miff".

"Zen poverty", Zen is the most typical Buddhist sect in China in China. It is named after meditation, which summarizes all Buddhist practice ideas. Because it claims to spread the seal of Buddha's heart, it aims to awaken the original Buddha nature in the hearts of all beings, so it is also called "Buddhism Sect". He originated from Indian Buddhism and was formed in traditional culture. It was formally established in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, reached its peak in the Tang and Five Dynasties, and continued to spread and develop after the Song and Yuan Dynasties. You don't need very rich economic conditions to retreat from meditation, because the meditator's practice life, whether in the mountains, by the water or on the thatched roof, can only participate in meditation with plates on his legs. Some ancient Zen masters lived in the mountains all the year round, eating wild vegetables and fruits and wearing coarse cloth. Although life is so poor and indifferent, their meditation happiness is endless. Therefore, it is called "Zen poverty".

"Convenient and clean" is about the practice characteristics of Pure Land Sect. Pure Land Sect is named after specializing in the pure land of Amitabha Buddha. This sect advocates a simple method of chanting Buddha, so it is also called "chanting Buddha". According to legend, Hui Yuan, a master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, invited monks and nuns to set up the White Lotus Sect in Lushan Mountain, wishing to live in the pure land of the West. Therefore, Master Hui Yuan is regarded as the "ancestor" of Pure Land Sect, which is also called "Lotus Sect". It is generally believed that the actual founder of Pure Land Sect should be a good mentor in the Tang Dynasty, and its founders can be traced back to Master Tanluan and Master Daochuo. The reason why it is said to be "convenient and clean" is because the Buddhist chanting method of Pure Land Sect can be practiced anytime and anywhere regardless of industry and status, so the most convenient practice method is Pure Land Sect.

"Zhi Zhi is patient and auspicious" is the characteristic of Zhi Zhi.

"Only know patience" means that those who learn the dharma only know patience must have patience. The only way to know the Sect is named because it comes to the conclusion that only the law knows the Sect by analyzing the face. It is also called the Sect of Knowing Only by Law, or the Sect of Knowing Only by Knowledge, because the founders of the Sect, Master Xuanzang and Master Peeping Ji, have lived in Ji 'ang Temple for a long time, and Master Peeping Ji is also called the Sect of Kindness, so it is also called the Sect of Kindness, and because the yoga teacher's theory of land is the fundamental classic of the Sect, it is also called the Sect of Kindness. The names of sects in the law of knowing only are very complicated, and the level of justice is also very complicated. If you are impatient, you will not be able to find out his clues. Once you enter the Sect that only knows the law, you will be confused. Therefore, it is necessary to be patient to learn only knowledge.

Home is empty is about the characteristics of three schools. The Sanlun Sect is named after the main classics such as Zhonglun by Dragon Tree Bodhisattva, Twelve Men Lun and Bailun by Shiva Bodhisattva. It is also called "Fa Men" because it advocates that all laws are empty. In order to distinguish Tiantai Sect and Huayan Sect, Tiantai Sect and Huayan Sect are also called Fa Men, so they are also called "Empty Men". Since Master Rush has translated the three theories of this case, there are many people who have studied the three theories for generations. In the Sui Dynasty, Master Ji Zang established the "Three Debates". The reason for saying "Jia Xiang Kong" is that Ji Zang, a master of three thoughts, lived in Jia Xiang Temple when studying the three thoughts, so he was called "Jia Xiang Master", and because he was a master of the three thoughts, he was also called Jia Xiang Zong. The contents of the three theories on which this case is based are all about the cosmic wisdom of the origin of emptiness, so it is called "home is like emptiness".

? The "traditional method of self-cultivation" is about the characteristics of Hua Yanzong and Fa Zong.

"Traditional Hua Yan" is the characteristic to explain Hua Yan Zong. Hua Yanzong was named after the Huayan Classic. Because its actual creator, Master Fazang, was named "Xianshou" by Wu Zetian, and later called Master Fazang "Xianshou Master", so it was also called "Xianshouzong". This school mainly discusses the purport of "the origin of the legal world", so it is also called "the school of the legal world". China is a country of Mahayana Buddhism, and the Mahayana thought of China Buddhism is centered on Huayan Sect. For example, Master Tai Xu, a leading figure in modern Buddhism, advocated eight schools of Buddhism, but based his belief on Hua Yan's thought. Hua Yan Jing originated in India, and after it was introduced to China, through the integration of China's wisdom, it gave full play to the original thought of Hua Yan's legal circle, put forward various legal views, and put philosophy into practice. Due to the innovation and invention of Hua Yan's thought by Dade in past dynasties, Hua Yan's philosophy has become a wonderful flower in the history of Buddhism in China and a traditional belief of Buddhism in China. The so-called "traditional Hua Yan".

The Law of Self-cultivation reveals the characteristics of the practice. Legalists are named after studying and spreading precepts. Because it is based on the quartile law in the five laws, it is also called quartile law. It is also called "Nanshan School" or "Nanshan School of Law", because it creates humanistic and rich lawyers who live in Zhong Nanshan. Buddhist legalists pay attention to self-cultivation and conduct themselves. For example, Master Taixu said: "Only the Buddha is the only one, and it is completed in personality; It is a real reality that people become Buddhas. " Because your personality is complete, you can become a Buddha. Only by doing a good job and completing self-cultivation can we further develop our inner bright wisdom and realize the highest truth. This is the instruction given by the practice, so it is called the method of self-cultivation.

Tiantai Sect, a just organization, shows its characteristics.

Tiantai Sect is the earliest Sect founded in the history of Buddhism in China. It originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was founded in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Because its actual founder, Master Zhikai, often lives in Tiantai Mountain, it was named Tiantai Sect. This Sect is also called "Fahuazong" because it is mainly based on fire eyes and golden eyes. Among all sects, Buddhism can be well organized and systematically expounded, and the Tiantai method is the first. The wise master on the rooftop divided the Buddha's generation of holy religions into five periods, and divided them into four religions according to the recipients: epiphany, gradual enlightenment, secret enlightenment, uncertainty, Tibet, communication, separation and Yuan. Scientifically classify the Sanzang Twelve Classics as sentient beings with different roots, and analyze the ways of practice and the order of results one by one, so Tiantai Sect is the most rigorous and systematic in the organization of righteousness.
