Master Fu's Influence on Tiantai Sect

Master Fu had a great influence on Tiantai Sect. In the second year of Datong (528), disciple Hui Jiben became a monk in Tiantai Mountain. When he heard that the master in Dongyang was enlightened by Mahayana Buddhism, he went to Sara overnight to take refuge in the master. In the year of Shengyuan (552), a disciple of Master Duff, Faguang Bhikkhu, went to the foot of Tiantai Mountain and set himself on fire and died. There are two poems in Fu Dashi's poetry collection:

In fact, a person is still far from fame.

All three views are harmonious, and the jungle of thorns is flat. ( 1)

Do it alone and ask me what I wrote in my heart.

There is no life in the four movements, so how can thousands of things be bound? (2)

"One mind and three views" is the basic doctrine of Tiantai Sect. A single-minded and visible heart. This is the heart that Duff talked about in "Self-View of the Righteousness", and "Heart Wang Ming" is a masterpiece of "heart". The three views are empty, false and true. Knowing that the "difference of one thought" cannot be obtained and cannot be said, but those who practice the three truths of emptiness, falsehood and neutrality through the difference of one thought are called "one thought and three views". Fu Dashi said, "If you live in Samadha, you will get something." That's what it means.

Master Fu and Huiwen, regarded as the second ancestor of Tiantai Sect, are propagandists of "one thought and three views". Tiantai Zongzhi was initiated, and his disciples, Jinyun Zhiwei, Zhiwei Dongyang disciple and Wei Hui disciple, were all from Yiwu. They mostly lived in Huiji and Wuzhou around Shuanglin Temple, and were closely related and deeply influenced by the teacher. Because of his in-depth understanding and propaganda of "one mind and three views", Duff won the respect of Tiantai scholars. Shi, the founder of Tiantai Sect in Japan, listed him as one of the two founders of Tiantai Sect in Neizong and Buddhism.

Although Master Fu is a peerless man who can suit every opportunity, he has nothing to do with his teacher. He is a man without a teacher. Therefore, in Tiantai Sect's works, although there are many records of advocating Master Fu, and Master Fu's relics have been welcomed and enshrined by Tiantai Sect monks three times, his position in Taiwan's educational history is difficult to be affirmed.

Tiantai Sect in the Tang Dynasty was eclipsed by the influence of various schools such as kindness and sages. Only in the era of the eighth ancestor Xuanlang (673-754) did things get better, and Xuan Lang's disciple Zhan Ran became the ancestor of ZTE. Zhan Ran takes Fu Dashi as the banner of Zhongxing to promote rooftop landscape. He wrote in the book "Examples of Righteousness": "If the Indian sage (Dharma) comes to the ceremony, he will not bring the second student (Master Fu) down to earth." "After three visits, the book" Wreath "supplemented Mahavamsa (referring to Mahavamsa Fu). Therefore, it is known that a family is a disciple, and it is like a Buddhist scripture. "

Because some of the poems sung by the poems can be in line with the teachings of Tiantai Sect, the reputation of poetry has been prosperous for a long time, and launching poetry as a banner has become a major measure to revive Tiantai Sect. Besides, our master is Shi's sixth grandson, and he is willing to be close to Maitreya, in order to keep Shi's mantle. Zhu Yixin, a great scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once said that Fu Dashi was "the Zen master of Sun Xuanlang VI, who practiced wisdom and self-cultivation, and put everything in the air, his clothes were unclean and the lights did not go out". Obviously, he is also the heir of his ancestors. Xuan Lang has many disciples, including Farong, Yingying, Chunying, and others, the eminent monks of Silla (North Korea). It is impossible for him not to influence his successor, Zhan Ran. Moreover, Shuanglin Temple also has the remains of Tiantai Sect, such as the "Shuanglin Temple" where Liu Miaoguang, the wife of the Fu Dynasty, lived, which was later renamed "Guanwei".
