"Sanzang" refers to the characters and meanings contained in classics, laws and theories. Buddhism is among Sanzang. Why do you say that? What is "law"? Everything is called "Fa". So Buddhism is a university question that contains everything in the universe.
So, are all Buddhist classics called "classics"?
That's not true. "Jing" is a part of Sanzang, as well as "Fa" and "Li".
"Jing" refers to meditation and refers to the evidence that practice is related to meditation; "Law" is about discipline; On is about wisdom. According to the statement of "Thirty-three" in The Theory of Wisdom by the Dragon Tree Bodhisattva, all the classic contents in Buddhism can be divided into twelve kinds of educational methods, also known as "Twelve Departments", and all the classics in Buddhism are collectively called "Sanzang Twelve Departments". Don't think that there are only twelve Buddhist scriptures, then you are wrong. I don't know how many classics are contained in each book! Later, Goode was afraid of being misunderstood by others, so he translated it into "Twelve Points Teaching", so it was not easy to misunderstand. "Fen" means category and part, that is, twelve literal teaching methods in the Buddhist scriptures of Sanzang.
Here is the content of "12 point teaching":
First, Xiuduoluo. Also known as "contract". A long article directly tells the meaning of Chinese and French in Buddhist classics. Qi Jing means conforming to the truth and classics of machines. What is a long article? It refers to the prose genre, which belongs to a writing method in Indian culture and is found in many ancient Indian literary works. Such as Ramayana.
Second, only one night. Translated, it is called "Chongsong" and also called "Yingsong". It is to satisfy the content of the long article in front and re-preach the meaning and truth. For example, in the Buddhist scriptures, we will see that the Buddha will explain it again in the form of poetry after opening a mouth, which is convenient for disciples to remember. This is the first meaning. Another meaning is that the occasion of lectures is different from that of school teaching. People who listen to the scriptures will come one after another. Buddha is very compassionate, so he explained righteousness in the form of poetry, so that later generations can also get a complete teaching method. For example, in Hua Yan Jing, almost every paragraph is praised, which shows the mercy of the Buddha!
Third, Wei Tuo. Translation is "ode to satire", which can also be called "ode to loneliness". That is to say, the content sung directly by the son without relying on the content of the long article is generally not mentioned above, but only a supplement. There are not many such carols, in order to make the meaning more complete, or some people ask questions temporarily. Or the audience has questions, although they are not spoken out, but the Buddha knows it as soon as he thinks about it (because the Buddha has a "heart and soul", so the Buddha answers in this style. For example, in the Sutra of French Sentences, the Buddha answered the questions of all beings, some of which were "please", but he didn't ask. When he had this idea in his mind, the Buddha knew it and explained it to him.
Fourth, Netona. Translation is "karma". According to the Buddhist scriptures, it is because of seeing the Buddha and knowing the Dharma and getting enlightenment from the Buddha. The preface in all Buddhist scriptures is called Karma Sutra. For example, at the beginning of the Diamond Sutra, we talked about where the Buddha talked about this sutra and why.
5. Idimdo. The translation is "ability". It refers to the scriptures in which the Buddha said that disciples had karma in previous lives. For example, the "Skill of the Bodhisattva of the King of Medicine" in the Lotus Sutra is about the karma of the Bodhisattva of the King of Medicine in his previous life. Sixth, add more (QIE four tones). Translated as "Bunsen". It's a scripture of Buddha's self-reported past life karma. 7. Afadama, also known as Abidama. The translation is "never". This is a classic that records the incredible things displayed by the Buddha. For example, the first product of Shurangama Sutra, such as the first product of Huayan Sutra, and so on.
Eight, Apotona. Translation is "metaphor". This is the content of metaphor in the Bible.
Nine, Ubertische. Translated into On Righteousness. Refers to the scriptures that Buddha and disciples discuss with each other and take the form of questions and answers. The most common is the Diamond Sutra.
Ten, Utona. The translation is "talking to yourself". It means that no one asked questions, and the Buddha said it himself. This is a very special kind, because the rule of Buddhism is that only when someone asks for Buddhism can they say it, and only when someone asks for it can everyone pay respect to Buddhism. If no one asks, the Buddha himself said that this method has two meanings: first, the opportunity has come and it is mature. The second one is very important, very important, Buddha said. For example, the classic Amitabha Sutra belongs to self-talk and self-talk. Although no one invited, the opportunity is ripe. People in our world can practice this method and it will be achieved soon. So the Amitabha Sutra is a very important classic. Like the Huayan Sutra of Dafang Guangfo and the Lotus Sutra of Miaofa are not as important as the Amitabha Sutra. Why? Because after learning Hua Yan Jing and Beijing Jing, if you can't make it in this life, it's just a good root, and if you practice the Pure Land Law and make a vow to live in the pure land of western bliss, you can decide whether you will achieve anything in this life, so the Buddha doesn't ask himself, you must say it.
Xi。 A brief introduction of the Buddha. Translated as "Fang Guang", it refers to the extremely authentic and widely used scripture content. This is the general name of all Mahayana classics, such as the Huayan Sutra of Dafang Guangfo and the Yijing of Dafang Guangyuan Jueshura.
Twelve, and galo. The translation is "award". This is the content of the prophecy, telling disciples in advance when to become a Buddha, the name of the Buddha, the world where they live, the name of the world, and how many sentient beings can be saved by preaching there. But as a disciple, you must first have the conditions to give notes. The Buddha will not give notes until you reach the position of the Ten Bodhisattvas, because it is not far from becoming a Buddha at this time. For example, in the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha said that when he died, he burned the Buddha and gave the Tathagata a note saying, "In the next life, he will become a Buddha, named Sakyamuni ....."
Among these twelve books, Xiuduoluo (Qi Jing), Solo (Heavy Fu) and Dugu Qu (Dugu Fu) belong to the genre of scripture. The other nine books are named after the contents recorded in the scriptures. There is an ode that can easily remember these twelve books:
A long list of praise and rewards.
Speak without asking.
Metaphor and Skills of Karma
Bunsen Fang Guang never owned it.
The discussion is divided into twelve parts.
