Wang Ming's path is getting clearer and clearer, and Wang Ming can see more and more clearly in Deng Hong's mind, and all nerves appear in Wang Ming's field of vision like a network.

Wang Ming entered the diencephalic and gathered all those toxins together to stop their spread, Wang Ming had to buy time, imprison these toxins, and then come out to find a way, otherwise Deng Hong would become an idiot if he didn't die.

Wang Ming's mind was searching for the cultivation rules of Buddhism and Taoism, and at the same time, he was helping Deng Hong heal his illness.

Speaking of which, I have to say that the hierarchy of Buddhism is very strict, and the novices who have just started or the monks who have attained the Tao have their own ranks.

Buddhism is a spiritual university. It is also divided into different grades, including elementary school, middle school, university, and research monks. Research monks are also divided into: bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral fellows. Elementary school students are called: Shami; Secondary school students are called: Shamen; College students are called: Monk; The bachelor is called: Luohan; Master's name: Bodhisattva; The doctor's name is Buddha.

Postdoc: Buddha. This kind of cultural phenomenon is similar to school study in society, and if you don't get into university, you are basically considered to be illiterate in society. It's a joke about secular hierarchy. However, it makes sense here. Bodhisattva, the formal meaning is: enlightenment, sentient beings. So he was full of love, great compassion. Buddha: Formal meaning: enlightened one. He will not cross sentient beings. He would use his fingers to guide people in their cultivation and follow the path he had pioneered. In Buddhism, if you go down from the Buddha Shakyamuni, the words are: Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Shravaka, Buddha, Bhikshu.

If you follow the Buddhist Sangha in the lower order: bhikshu (monk), novice (quasi-monk), lay (lay disciple).

In addition, a bhikshu represents a monk who has received full ordination (250 precepts).

A novice is a monk who has received novice ordination (the Ten Precepts)

A layman is a lay believer who has received the bodhisattva vows (the five precepts)

We are now going to keep it to a minimum. The objects of worship of Buddhists are classified as follows, and can be divided into five categories: Buddha, Bodhisattva, Mingwang, Heaven, and Dependents.

1. Buddhism

The Buddha is the most revered, highest, and most worshipped object in Buddhism, with a total of fifteen Buddhas. But some Buddhas are widely worshipped, while others are neglected. Among the fifteen Buddhas, only Shakyamuni Buddha had a history of being a human being in India, and was later deified and became a god. The other fourteen Buddhas have no historical basis. This is because Buddhism places special emphasis on "the cultivation of people and the enlightenment of people." The process of practicing the Buddha's path by the three "people" of "becoming a Buddha", so any Buddha or Bodhisattva who has not been a human being or cultivating the path in this world can only regard him as an imaginary object of worship. However, Buddhism has made up a separate set of myths, saying how a certain Buddha set out to become a Buddha before the immeasurable eons, but there is no historical basis. Lack of faith.

Press "Buddha" one, Sanskrit Buddha. It means "to know" and "to realize". Originally, it meant that Buddhist monks knew and understood the teachings of Buddhism, such as the "law of cause and effect", there was no mystery in it. Nigantha Nataputu, a Jain contemporary, was also called Buddha by his followers! However, after the deification of the Buddha Sutra by later generations of Buddhists, the Buddha Shakya also became like God. Buddha

In an editorial, the journal said, "First as far as the Buddha is concerned, and later. Gradually, the sacredness and mystification, the invisible human and historical Buddha was slowly disguised by the myths into the Buddha of non-human fables. …… Those who believe in the Buddha today may regard them as gods. or God and Buddha are not divided into ......" (see Caili, March 15, 1961)". root

The names of the fifteen Buddhas are: Shakyamuni Buddha, Great Day Nyorai, Lujana Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Medicine Master Nyorai, Baosheng Nyorai, Bukong Achievement Nyorai, Kaifu Huawang Nyorai, Heavenly Drum Thunder Nyorai, Treasure Pillar Nyorai, One-word Golden Wheel Buddha Top, Buddha's Eye Buddha Mother, Duobao Nyorai, and Dingguang Nyorai. The Sanskrit word for "Nyorai" is Tathagata, which means "to arrive truthfully", "to declare truthful truth", "truthfully enlightened", "truthful teacher". "Such as", "truth" (Tatha), "come", "arrive" (gata). This "Nyorai" is one of the ten titles of Shakya, and later, "Nyorai" was also used by other Buddhas.

In addition to the above 15 main Buddhas, there are also "3,000 Buddhas" according to the "Sutra of the Thousand Buddhas of the Past Solemnly Tribulation", "The Sutra of the Thousand Buddhas of the Present Virtuous Tribulation", "The Sutra of the Thousand Buddhas of the Future Stars", etc., in the past, present and future three lifetimes, there are as many as 3,000 Buddha names. Among them, there are "Nan no electric light Buddha", "Nan no light game Buddha" and the like, which is really strange. According to the "Eighth Sigh of the Ancient Products of the Sutra of Virtuous Tribulation", when Yu Xing tribulated, 80,000 Buddhas appeared, and when the pure tribulation was repeated, 84,000 Buddhas were born. In Buddhism, since everyone is a Buddha, it is not surprising that "Buddha" is not surprising. Theravada Buddhism in Thailand, only one Buddha Shakyamuni is respected, maintaining the legacy of Mahayana Buddhism before the occurrence of several large monasteries in Thailand, only one Buddha is worshipped, and Theravada Buddhism does not believe in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas other than Shakyamuni.

2. Bodhisattva Division

Bodhisattva, also known as Bodhisattva, Sanskrit Bodhisattva, means "sentient beings", Bodhi (sentient beings), Sattatva (sentient beings). According to the original meaning of Sanskrit, all Buddhists who practice Mahayana Buddhism are Bodhisattvas; Buddhism advises people to develop bodhicitta is to develop bodhisattva mind. The late Master Taixu said, "Anyone who learns Buddhism with bodhicitta can be called a bodhisattva." Therefore, "bodhisattva" is a very common term in Buddhism, which applies to monks and nuns as well as lay people who study Buddhism at home.

Buddhism divides the spiritual realm and the Buddha realm of the whole universe into the "Ten Realms", the hell realm, the hungry ghost realm, the animal realm, the asura realm, the human realm, and the heavenly realm, which are called the "six maze realms". The realm of shravaka, the realm of enlightenment, the realm of bodhisattvas, and the realm of Buddhas, the above are the "four realms of enlightenment". That is to say, the Buddha is the highest, and the Bodhisattva is secondary. It is said that there are 52 bodhisattvas (monks) who are gradually progressing. From forty-one to fifty, they are called the "Ten Lands", and the above are the "Waiting Enlightenment", the "Wonderful Enlightenment", and the last one is the "Buddha".

The idea that Buddhists who practice Buddhism as bodhisattvas gradually changed and deified them, and finally many inhuman, imaginary heavenly bodhisattvas came out. These bodhisattvas in the heavens and universes, both male and female, are said to be able to give happiness and joy. However, from the standpoint of religious studies, rather than calling them bodhisattvas, it is better to say that this is a disguised polytheistic and multi-spiritual worship in Buddhism, and we don't know how many hundred and eight thousand miles away from the atheism of primitive Buddhism.

The more important bodhisattvas in the Bodhisattva Department are: Holy Guanyin, Thousand-Handed Guanyin, Eleven-faced Guanyin, Ruyi Wheel Guanyin, Bukong Juan Guanyin, Matou Guanyin, Zhun Ti Guanyin, Thirty-three Body Guanyin, Yeyi Guanyin, Great White Cloth Guanyin, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Great Trend Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Jizo Bodhisattva, Medicine Bodhisattva, Medicine King Bodhisattva, Sunshine Bodhisattva, Moonlight Bodhisattva, Void Tibetan Bodhisattva, Fuxian Life Extension Bodhisattva, Five Void Tibetan Bodhisattvas, and Great Suiqiu Bodhisattvas. In addition, there are twenty-five Bodhisattvas, from Guanyin Bodhisattva to the Boundless Bodhisattva, a total of twenty-five. It is said that they are all bodhisattvas who protect those who recite the name of Amitabha Buddha. In addition, the three deceased Indian Buddhists Ma Ming, Nagarjuna, and Shiqin are also called Bodhisattvas. Many of these bodhisattvas are worshipped by Buddhists.

In addition to the above Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there are also gods of ghosts and gods in Buddhism: Fudo Ming Wang, the Third Ming King, the Peacock Ming King, the Horse Head Ming King, and the Generalissimo Ming Wang...... and so on thirty-four. There are also "heavenly" ghosts and gods: Kunshamentian, Guangmu Heaven, Brahma, Auspicious Heaven, Asura King, Daikokuten, Ritian, Moon Heaven, Treasure Heavenly Maiden...... There are also 34 gods and generals of the "Dependents": the twelve gods of the medicine master, the sixteen gods of Prajna Guardian, the ten Rakshasas of Fuxian, and the sixteen Luo...... Ninety-eight. Many of the above ghosts and gods have their own special functions, or they are the protectors of Buddhism, or they give blessings to people, or they serve the heavenly realm, and some of them are widely worshiped by Buddhists. The number of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, gods, ghosts, etc., in the above five parts alone, is as high as about 200.

In addition, the ten disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha were also statued and worshipped. In Taiwan, there are temples where gods and Buddhas worship at the same time, and they are also dedicated to the relevant Gong, Mazu, Lu Chunyang, Land Gong, Xuantian God, Jade Emperor God, Sanguan Emperor, Zhang Tianshi, Taishang Laojun...... and other gods related to Taoism and folk beliefs, which are worshipped. These statues were originally unrelated to Buddhism, but in order to meet the urgent needs of the general believers in multiple gods and ghosts, and to increase the economic income of incense, some Buddhist temples have also enjoyed it (to be continued......
