Today we will talk to you about what the real version of Jigong looks like.
0 1
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she is predestined friends with Buddha!
Ji Gong is commonly known as Li Xiuyuan, and some people think it is Li Xiuyuan. He was born in a rich family named Li, and the great-grandfather Li Zunxu was the envoy of our army. He is the great-grandson of Li Wenhe, the captain of Linhai. It can be said that if Jigong is now placed on a rich second generation!
Because the Li family believed in Buddhism for generations, Li Maochun, the father of Jigong, was nearly 40 years old but had no descendants. But he believed in Buddhism wholeheartedly, and finally gave birth to a son, that is, Jigong. Li Maochun thought that this was the arrangement of the Buddha, so he invited the abbot of Xiaoguo Temple to take his common name to decide his fate, and since then he has forged an indissoluble bond with Buddhism!
As for some people who say that Jigong is a dragon-descending arhat, there are actually legends in it. According to legend, when Jigong was born, he happened to catch up with the sudden arrival of 17 arhats (that is, Luohan Hall, Dajiu Temple), so people said that Jigong was reborn as an arhat. This is also the reason why Jigong is a dragon or a arhat!
02
Practice Buddhism at a young age and convert to Buddhism!
When Ji Gong was a teenager, he was deeply influenced by Tiantai Mountain's thought that Buddhism is the source of Taoism and Li Fu's family culture, which was good at Buddhism for generations. Under the influence, he developed ideas outside the party.
Later, because his parents died one after another, he was alone, converted to Buddhism, went to Xiaoguo Temple first, and then went to Hui Yuan, the blind hall of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. "Buddhist monk" distributed utensils for Jigong.
However, this monk who just entered Buddhism did not sit still and meditate like most monks, but became crazy. His words and deeds are different, he doesn't like chanting, he can't stand meditation, he vacillates between streets and alleys, and he likes playing with children and playing cricket and crying monkeys.
This monk, according to the eyes of normal people, is really a very bad monk, so the monks in the temple nicknamed him "monk Jiepilepsy".

Behave uninhibited and do good in the world!
Normal monks fast and recite Buddha all day, which is different from helping the public. He walks the streets every day and really drinks and eats meat when he is happy.
When someone asked him why you are a monk, but still eat meat, he also said a poem to answer.
"Buddha leaves poems, and I cultivate my self and he repairs my mouth."
"Others don't fix their mouths, only I fix my heart and don't fix my mouth."
This poem seems to be an explanation of Ji Gong's unruly behavior.
But in fact, poetry contains the great truth of life: some people seem to eat quickly, recite Buddha in their mouths, but have no intention of doing good in their hearts, but are doing immoral things behind their backs. To judge whether a person is true, kind and beautiful, it is not enough to observe from the surface, but more importantly, to see the essence through the phenomenon.
And it is necessary to observe and exercise for a long time to show his sincerity and kindness. Jigong finally proved all this with his own behavior!
Jigong not only likes to help people cure diseases, but also likes to punish evil and promote good. Therefore, although the people call him a crazy monk, they actually respect him from the heart. Because everything he did was for the good of the people, people said that he was the reincarnation of Lohan. As for the means of immortals in TV dramas, it is true that Jigong is gone in history, of course, because he is a human being, not a god.
In history, Jigong was a frank and talented monk. Jigong's Buddhist attainments are quite high, but his life behavior is really different from that of ordinary monks. Jigong was elegant and chic all his life, and fought in all directions, with footprints all over Zhejiang, Anhui and Sichuan. He is often disheveled, buying people medical stones, treating diseases and practicing medicine, solving problems, and often being effective in relieving people's sufferings. Therefore, its virtue behavior is praised by people.
Jigong is a monk, very knowledgeable and can bring him a high social status. At the same time, wearing shabby clothes and hats, he also showed an "open and selfless" mind, not to mention many powerful believers. Therefore, in the face of some unscrupulous dignitaries, he also dared to face it directly. For some disputes among the people, Jigong will also come out to mediate.
In this way, the good deeds of helping the public fight for justice and charity have left a good reputation among the people. So that there are many places among the people to build temples for him.

"Jigong" represents the common people's belief in "goodness"!
In fact, although Jigong is an enlightened monk, he is a member of the general public. Because his clothes, his words and his behavior are closer to the image of ordinary people.
Therefore, in fact, helping others is a typical representative of the common people's pursuit of fairness and justice, punishing evil and promoting good, and it is a belief in "goodness".
Therefore, this is why Jigong left such a deep impression on us, because he represents a pursuit and persistence of "goodness" in our hearts!
Our common people's pursuit of "goodness" does not mean to do great things for the country and society, nor to save Li's people like them, but to do something good around us and do something good within our power.
This is the pursuit of goodness by most people. Although it seems like a small pursuit, if everyone can do it, then even a small act of kindness will become great after multiplying it by1400 million!
Therefore, here, I still borrow Liu Bei's "Don't do it because of good, don't do it because of evil!" Come and encourage everyone! May we all have good thoughts, and there will be blessings in the future!
