In Buddhism, Tathagata also refers to Sakyamuni. According to legend, Sakyamuni was born in the right rib of Madame Moyev on April 8th, and under the carefree tree in Lumbini Garden. When he was born, he could walk, take seven steps and give birth to a lotus flower step by step. He sang: Heaven and the world are one family, and all three worlds suffer. I should be safe.
The spread of Buddhism in the Han Dynasty had a far-reaching influence. I'm afraid the 86th edition of The Journey to the West was deeply influenced by Buddhism in modern China. The older generation of actors in Journey to the West are very dedicated to the play, and the six-year-old children in the Monkey King should have the greatest influence.
But apart from the six-year-old children, Zuo Dafen, the Guanyin actor, brought Guanyin to life, and a lot happened during her acting? Strange? It rained heavily several times, but as soon as she appeared, the weather became sunny, and everyone in the crew nicknamed it Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Stranger still, Zuo Dafen accidentally went to kaifu temple, Changsha. That day, the weather was gloomy and it was raining, but at the moment when Zuo Dafen stepped into kaifu temple, the gloomy weather suddenly cleared up. Although it was only a few special coincidences, Zuo Dafen began to believe in Buddhism after playing Guanyin.
In addition to Zuo Dafen, Zhu Guanglong, the actor of Tathagata, is also a person who can perform Tathagata. He is a Buddhist himself. It is said that a few years after the end of the Journey to the West, I went to Thailand to play, and I plan to bring some small gifts back when I return home.
One of his friends also believes in Buddhism and plans to buy some Buddha statues back. When he entered a small shop, he saw a Tathagata painting hanging on the wall. Tathagata is very familiar. He looked carefully and found himself. When he looked at the Buddha statue, people around him looked at him with very strange eyes.
Later, someone crossed his hands at him, and the people in the shop began to bow to him. Zhu Guanglong was shocked, didn't buy anything, and hurried away. I have to say that the 86 version of Journey to the West has really influenced several generations and even the international community.
Buddhism is well-known not only in The Journey to the West, but also in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. According to Japanese records, Japanese Buddhism was founded after a Japanese monk went to Chang 'an to study Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. Katakana? .
Korean Buddhism was introduced from China in the 4th century BC. In 372 AD, Yao Jian of China sent envoys and shamans to present Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures to Koguryo. Viet Nam was a vassal state of China from the 1 century to the 9th century, and Buddhism was introduced in the 2nd century, which was earlier.
