It is said that Miao Zhuang Wang (the king of his father city (now Gucheng Village in Lizhuang Township) in the 6th century BC) had no heirs for a long time, and only got three daughters after he was 5 years old. However, her youngest daughter, Princess Miaoshan, has a good root. She doesn't love the splendor of the court, and she is bent on practicing in the mountain family, aiming to transcend all beings. Finally, she flatly refused her father's order to get married. King Miao Zhuang ordered the death of Princess Miao Shan after all efforts failed. However, the sword of execution broke in two when it was cut on the princess, and the spear also became shattered when it was stabbed. Later, the princess was strangled, but as soon as her soul went to hell, hell immediately turned into heaven. In order to save hell, Yamaraja, the king of the ghost kingdom, had to send her back to the world. As a result, Princess Miaoshan was reincarnated on a lotus flower in Putuo Mountain, and lived there for nine years, treating diseases, saving drowning, and saving the suffering, and Miaozhuang was badly rewarded for her bad karma. He was so sick that all kinds of medicine were ineffective. The only prescription is: others voluntarily give one hand and one eye to synthesize ointment. But no one is willing to make such sacrifices, even his eldest and second daughters. Therefore, Princess Miaoshan showed great compassion and gave her life to cure her father's illness. As a sign of gratitude, the king of Miao Zhuang asked craftsmen to create an image of Princess Miao Shan to show her good deeds. King Miao Zhuang's original words were to make craftsmen shape the image of "all hands and all eyes", but they were misunderstood as "thousands of hands and thousands of eyes", thus shaping the image of Guanyin with thousands of hands and thousands of eyes, and the name of "Guanyin Bodhisattva with thousands of hands and thousands of eyes and great compassion" appeared in later generations.
What is the relationship between Guanyin in Nanhai and Guanyin?
Amitabha! Brother, Dade has already talked about something downstairs, so I'll add a little more. Avalokitesvara is an ancient Buddha, and the number is correct and clear. Because of his compassion for all sentient beings, he turned to be a bodhisattva, crossing all sentient beings, and making him free from suffering. The relationship between all beings in this world and avalokitesvara is great. Avalokitesvara bodhisattva followed the sound to save suffering, and with the karma of different beings, she showed different bodies. Guanyin in the South China Sea is one of the ever-changing postures.
avalokitesvara bodhisattva and ksitigarbha bodhisattva, together with our teacher Sakyamuni Buddha, are honored as the Three Saints of Bodhisattva.
avalokitesvara is also the attendant bodhisattva of Amitabha in the western paradise, and will become a Buddha after Amitabha's nirvana, and when Dharma is about to die, the Buddha name is Buddha of Puguang Gongde Mountain!
which dynasty was Guanyin in Nanhai born? What was its name and where was it born?

Where does Guanyin in the South China Sea mean in history?
The South China Sea doesn't mean what we call the direction in geography. It's a phase to stick to the direction on this earth. The location of Guanyin Bodhisattva is the South China Sea. South Jambu-Di^pa is also the South China Sea, that is, our world.
according to Pure land three's explanation, avalokitesvara is the left attendant of amitabha. In the western paradise, avalokitesvara is located in the west, so we should look at it this way.
please adopt
Excuse me, in Buddhism, where is the South China Sea of Guanyin? I don't think it's the South China Sea on the geographical map.
tell me my understanding.
Guanyin, also known as avalokitesvara, is at ease. In Buddhism, it is the waiter of Sakyamuni Buddha (translated as "Fu Bi") (the other waiter is the general trend, also known as the general trend), and both of them are bodhisattvas (which can be understood as the disciples of Buddha Tuo). Guanyin's position in Indian Buddhism is far less than that in China Buddhism, and she is just an ordinary bodhisattva. Only in China, her position has been elevated (he is not "her" because Guanyin was a male body before the Song Dynasty).
The so-called "Nanhai Guanyin" may be that when Guanyin was practicing Buddhism, she visited the "Great Good Knowledge" (a person with great knowledge and wisdom) everywhere, went to an island in the South China Sea (the exact location is unknown), and asked for knowledge from a great good knowledge there, and stayed there for a long time. It is estimated that this is why Guanyin has the status of "South China Sea".
Some famous figures in Buddhism have their own "residence in tin", also called "Dojo" (which may be understood as their own site). In the Buddhist scriptures, Guanyin's Dojo is to fill the Luoga Mountain. Sanskrit: Potalaka, also translated as Bupo Luojia Mountain and Putuo Luojia Mountain, referred to as Putuo Mountain for short, or Xiaobai Huashan, also known as Guangming Mountain. In the world of Bodhisattva (that is, our world), there is Putuo Luojia Mountain on the coast of South India, which is the ancient road field of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
After Guanyin's status in China rises, believers will of course "arrange" a place for Guanyin. Because his Dojo is in South India, which is too far away, China's followers have to find a nearby Dojo for him in China, so that they can pay homage nearby. In the Han Dynasty, among the Zhoushan Islands in the East China Sea outside Zhejiang, there is putuo island, which is attached to Putuo Luojia Mountain and used as the Dojo of Guanyin in China. As for the "South Sea" where Guanyin is located in Buddhist scriptures, where is it? There is no need to pursue it.
There is more than one Mount Luojia in Putuo in China. For example, do you know the Potala Palace? Are the sounds of Putuo Luojia, Bupo Luojia and Potala similar? It is estimated that after Buddhism was introduced into * * *, the followers of * * * also wanted to find a nearby Dojo for Guanyin, so they found a mountain near Luoxie City (the ancient name of * * * City) and named it Bufu Luojia, which later evolved into Potala.
where is the south China sea of Guanyin? This may or may not be available. As long as you believe in Guanyin, everywhere is the South China Sea. In other words, the South China Sea is in the hearts of believers.
Nanhai Guanyin's real name
Guanyin Buddha's predecessor was a man named Cihangdao, but later she became a female Buddha in Buddhism. There is a history here. According to legend, after the people of Ci Channel sealed the gods, they traveled all over the world, and they came out from all walks of life. One day, he vaguely heard a sad cry in the clouds. Looking down, there was a woman lying on a remote mountain path, clutching her stomach with her hands, in pain. He knew that the woman was having a difficult labor and wanted to come down to earth to relieve her suffering. I can think about it. I am not a woman. If I give birth to a woman, I am afraid that women will be shocked and suspicious, and secondly I am afraid that passers-by will laugh. But if we avoid it and miss the time, the lives of mother and son will be hard to protect. Then he thought of a plan and said, "Why don't I do this?" Instantly, I brushed myself with the dust and turned into a beautiful woman holding a brush in Boston, pressing the cloud head and coming to the woman. Seeing that the woman was in a coma, she took out an elixir and nectar and poured it into her mouth. Soon the woman gave birth to the fetus. When the woman woke up, she saw a beautiful woman giving birth to her, got up and bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, girl, for saving my mother and son's life. You are so kind and generous, and you will never forget it! Dare to ask where my aunt lives? " Cihangdao people laughed and said, "You don't have to thank them. It's a monk's duty. I am a goddess of mercy, living in Nanhai. " As she spoke, she drove Yunfei away, and the woman kowtowed to the sky to thank humbly. The woman came home with the baby in her arms and told her husband about Lu Yu's life-saving. The husband was very grateful, so he asked a sculptor to carve a fairy Buddha statue called "Guanjian Buddha" and put it in the hall to worship. Knowing this, the people of Cihangdao often manifest themselves here to bless all beings. Since then, people have regarded Cihang's view of the world as a female Buddha. Guanyin in Taoist legend-Ci Channel people say that Ci Channel people are strangers, so it is no stranger to talk about Guanyin. Everyone knows that avalokitesvara is the avalokitesvara bodhisattva who is merciful and merciful. Do you know that Guanyin Bodhisattva is the embodiment of Cihang, for which Cihang is Guanyin? So Taoism respects Cihang and Buddhism respects Guanyin. Because Guanyin's life is aimed at helping all sentient beings, helping them in every disaster and turning difficulties into difficulties, everyone respects Guanyin wherever he goes. People in the benevolent channel learn the Tao first and then enter the Buddha. Looks like a little girl, small and exquisite, oval face, arch eyebrows, double eyelids, phoenix eyes and cherry mouth. Poetic evidence: Feng Gen's eyebrows are long and expensive, with a clear shadow and fragrance. She is smart, intelligent and refined, and vows to live all her life. The cherry mouth is rouge, the teeth are as white as jade and slender wicker, the smile is as clear and smooth as lotus, and she is smart and outstanding. Cihang studied hard and read well since he was a child, and he not only knew the scriptures but also knew the medical way. However, everyone thinks that he looks like a daughter, and his face is tender and tender. In the past, people should be big and strong to support their families. Sometimes neighbors insult him and scold him for saying that men look like women, and feng shui at home is buried in the back. Cihang thought, if it is impossible to develop doors among men, if there is a way, spread Buddhism among leisure women. In this way, she became a beautiful girl who preached the dharma among the people and taught kindness to all sentient beings. Later, Buddhism evolved Cihang into the highest model figure of Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, it is said that Guanyin has repaired the seven-legged foot or the big plank foot. There are the following evolutions in the Book of Yinyin Bodhisattva. King Miao Zhuang Wang, * * * Miao Shan Niang, the father wants to recruit a female professional, and the female xiu does not marry Lang. It's forbidden to send it to the garden, but it looks very good. The emissary in Baique Temple, the gods help. When the soldiers left to burn down the mansion, the elves felt grateful to God. Free and unfettered upstairs to persuade, hard not to surrender. Take him to the altar, and he will hide behind the tiger. The soul goes to hell, and the ten halls shine. Because of liberation, Xiangshan was returned to the sun. After nine years of practice, you have a strong moral integrity. Father's illness leaves his hand and eye, and he is cured as usual. Only when the civil and military entered the mountain did they know that the flesh and blood were injured. A Buddhist family is happy in the West.
