Hello. Shifang Mazu culture refers to the Zen culture of Yi Dao, a famous Zen master in Shifang County in the Tang Dynasty. Biography of Mazu Yi Dao: When he was a child, he became a monk in Jingzhong Temple in Chengdu, and in the Kaiyuan period, he went to Heng Yue, where he taught Zen masters to practice. In the early years of Tianbao, he traveled in Fojiling, Jianyang County, Fujian Province, and began to worship Hong and become a disciple. Soon he went to Xishan in Linchuan (now Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province), and then went to Bao Hua Temple in Gonggong Mountain in Ganzhou (now Ganxian County, Jiangxi Province) to teach for 28 years. In 769, when Mazu Daodao came to Kaiyuan Temple (now Youmin Temple) in Hongzhou (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province), it was said that Hongzhou had 139 disciples, making Kaiyuan Temple the center of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, from which Hongzhou Zen originated. Compared with Master Huairang, Daoyi is a Zen master of Guangjiao disciples. If Huairang's generation is a closed-door monk, Mazu is the generation that opened the door. According to historical records, the legal heirs of Jiangxi are widely distributed in the world and have far-reaching influence. They are called Hongzhou School (Hongzhou Zen), echoing the Stone School under Qingyuan School. Since then, Zen has flourished in the world. Suzuki Teitaro Daisetz, a master of Japanese philosophy, Buddhism and Sinology, pointed out that "Mazu was the greatest Zen master in the Tang Dynasty". Hu Shi called Mazu "the greatest Zen master in China". When I was a child, I became a monk in Jingzhong Temple in Chengdu, and went to Heng Yue in Kaiyuan, where I taught the Zen master to practice.
