A monk who is good at exorcism, I understand him as an exorcist!
As the saying goes, every day when you become a monk, you seem to be a stranger outside the party, living a quiet and natural life. Actually, not necessarily. If you carefully observe the development history of Buddhism, you will find that these monks go deep into the superstructure, and their influence from the emperor to the ordinary people is not as simple as we understand. Why do you say that?
In the early Western Han Dynasty, the Hexi Corridor was opened, and Buddhism was introduced into China from the Silk Road. Soon, the theory of "the cycle of heaven" and "the unity of everything and me" attracted China scholars, and the top-down promotion made Buddhism have China Buddhism suitable for China characteristics in China. Buddhism was fully developed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. During the Southern Dynasties, there were 480 temples, which were shrouded in misty rain, that is to say, during that period. Are there any famous monks who could influence the society at that time?
Of course, there were also many excellent monks at that stage. Say a few! 10, Tucheng, Buddha, known as a Buddhist monk, is also a foreign monk. He was originally from Qiuci and was proficient in metaphysics. He went to Luoyang in March10 and worked as a Buddhist in the post-Zhao era, which won the trust of the emperor. Then why can he gain the trust of the post-Zhao regime? Because the post-Zhao regime was established by Jie people, and the race was a prisoner of war from the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty, he was basically the same race. So they have a sense of identity. I don't think he made much contribution to Purdue, because the post-Zhao regime is famous for its extreme cruelty in the history of China, but he has trained many talents for Buddhism in China, and he is regarded as the founder.
2. Daoan, the most famous disciple of Futu City, is from Hebei. He is a 24-year-old apprentice. He collated and collated many Buddhist classics, and was taken to Chang 'an by Hu Zhengquan, where he translated and taught the Prajna Paramita Sutra, the founder of China Prajna Paramita Sutra.
3. Hui Yuan, a disciple of Daoan, was also the founder of Lushan Sect in China, the founder of Pure Land Sect, because at that time, all the powerful ministers in the Southern Dynasties had to crowd out Buddhism, and the development of Buddhism had influenced the politics at that time. Hui Yuan settled for second best, promised some gangsters who believed in Buddhism, but created Misha's theory of disrespect for the king, which laid a theoretical foundation for the way of getting along with the Buddhist regime later.
There are also some foreign monks who come from nowhere and have never achieved anything. Like the dust of history, they developed Buddhism in China, but nowhere to be found. For example, they are lost in troubled times, leaving only some thoughts.
This is the early development of Han Buddhism, and there are also Gao De monks in Tibetan Buddhism. I can't help but mention the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Ba Siba, who was a great man. His greatest historical achievement is the official return of Tibet to Chinese territory. He is the site selector, designer and planner of Beijing. He is familiar with the traditional culture of China, arguing with Taoists and refuting Taoists by quoting historical books, making Buddhism the largest religion in China. He was the actual controller of Tibet in the Yuan Dynasty. After his death, he was made an emperor's paradise, a great treasure king and a great Yuan emperor. The above person should refer to Kublai Khan, because he is Kublai Khan's religious mentor.
These should be regarded as Buddhist monks, and there should be many more, too numerous to mention!
Look at all the Buddhist classics.
The Jigong monk of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou was reincarnated as a golden arhat, which helped the poor, punished the strong and saved the weak, and enlightened the world. Because there are too many deeds, I can't list them one by one. If you are interested, you can borrow this biography of Jigong, or listen to Degang Guo's ballad Biography of Jigong, and Stephen Chow's movie Jigong. hahahaha
There is something wrong with this problem, because the lack of Buddhist common sense links exorcism and exorcism with Buddhist monks. To be exact, no monks exorcised demons in past dynasties.
Buddhism is merciful, and it is merciful to all beings. Even evil beings should cross over and keep them away from pain and never kill. Exorcism has nothing to do with Buddhism.
I think that the Tang Priest in Journey to the West, including his apprentice the Monkey King, won the battle by exorcism, and gained the Eastern Tang Scripture after eighty-one difficulties. In the story of The Legend of the White Snake in West Lake, Hangzhou, Fahai, a generation of eminent monks, saved Xu Xuan's life in addition to the white snake demon, with great merits. Later, in order to cater to women's liberation, the May 4th Movement adapted Fahai into a villain and the Snake Demon into a decent one. In modern times, monk Xu Yun and the old monk also told many stories about exorcism. There are many monks exorcising demons, we don't know, ....................
