According to legend, after the benevolent channel people sealed the gods, they traveled all over the world and all walks of life came out. One day, he vaguely heard a cry of sadness coming from the clouds. Looking down, a woman was lying on a remote mountain road, clutching her stomach with her hands and groaning in pain. He knew that this woman was going through a difficult labor and wanted to come down to earth to relieve her pain. I can think about it. I am not a woman. If the baby is a woman, one is afraid of the shock and suspicion of the woman, and the other is afraid of passers-by jokes. But if we avoid it and miss the opportunity, 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?" In an instant, I swept away the dust on my body and turned into a beautiful woman in Boston, holding a brush and holding a cloud head, coming towards the woman. Seeing that the woman was unconscious, she took out a pill and nectar and poured it into her mouth. Soon, the woman gave birth to a fetus. The woman woke up and saw a beautiful woman give birth to her. She got up and bowed down to the ground and said, "Girl, thank you for saving my mother and son's life. You are so kind and generous that you will never forget it! Dare to ask where my aunt lives? " "You're welcome," said Cihangdao with a smile. This is the duty of monks. I am Guanyin and live in the South China Sea. " With that, she drove Yun Fei away, and the woman thanked Tian for kowtowing.
The woman came home with her child in her arms and told her husband about Lu Yu's life-saving. The husband was very grateful, so he asked the sculptor to carve a fairy Buddha statue called "Watching the Sword Buddha" and put it in the main hall for worship. Knowing this, people on Cihang Island often appear here to bless all beings.
Since then, people have regarded Cihang's worldview as a female Buddha.
Guanyin in Taoist legend-Cihangdao people
It is strange to say that it is a channel, and it is not strange to say that it is Guanyin. Everyone knows that avalokitesvara is the avalokitesvara with great compassion. Do you know that Guanyin Bodhisattva is the embodiment of Cihang, which is Guanyin for Cihang? Therefore, Taoism respects kindness and navigation, while 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 who are benevolent 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. Poetry proof:
Feng Gen's eyebrows are long and expensive, but his shadow is light in Qing Xiang.
Wise, intelligent, free from vulgarity, vowed to live a lifetime,
Cherry mouth, big lips, rouge, teeth as white as jade, slender wicker,
Smile is as clear and smooth as lotus, and you are smart and outstanding in your robe.
Cihang studied hard since childhood and read widely, knowing not only the classics but also the medical way. But everyone thinks he looks like a daughter and has a tender face. In the past, people had to be big and strong to support their families. Sometimes neighbors will insult him and scold him that men look like women, and feng shui at home is buried behind. Cihang thought, if it is impossible to develop Buddhism among men, if there is a way to spread Buddhism among leisure women. In this way, she became a beautiful girl who preached Buddhism among the people and taught all beings kindness. Later, Buddhism turned Cihang into the highest model figure of Buddhism and Taoism. So Guanyin practiced seven feet or a big board foot. Yin Yin Bodhisattva has the following evolution.
