Manjushri transformed the boy into Lü Taiwei

Buddhist stories 2017-02-16

During the Shaoxing period of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Taiwei Lü Huiqing, who was very knowledgeable and proficient in Buddhist principles, once annotated the "View of the Huayan Dharma Realm" and published a book called "New Meaning Jie Zhuangzi". Once, when he went out on a tour, he visited Wutai Mountain with pleasure, and when he arrived at the place of Zhongtai, suddenly, clouds and fog filled the air, a storm and thunderstorm broke out, and the entire mountain and forest shook, and his attendants were so frightened that they ran to hide. Not long after, I saw something that looked like a blue dragon, appearing in the clouds and mist, revealing half of its body. After a while, the weather became a little clearer, and when he looked out, he saw a boy with dark skin and loose hair, wrapped in cattails from his feet to his shoulders, with his right arm exposed, holding a box of Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and asked Taiwei:

"May I ask this official, what do you see? Are you afraid of being like this? ”

Taiwei Lu said: "This is probably the karmic bad fate of my past life! That's why I encountered this terrible realm! ”

"But isn't it all gone now? I wonder why you came to this place? ”

"This—I want to meet the Great Master Manjushri Bodhisattva."

"What do you want to do when you meet the Bodhisattva?"

"I once read the Huayan Great Sect, and the purpose is very profound and far-reaching, so I would like to respectfully invite the great master to inspire me to understand the heart of the scriptures, so that I can make appropriate comments, and be able to spread in the world, so that the world of the black coffin night can suddenly gain light, so that people with pure hearts can be enlightened immediately."

The boy told him: "The Buddhas are wonderful, good and reasonable, simple and clear, and the annotations of the ancestors can be understood, such as ten places and one grade, and the explanation is only a few sheets of paper." However, today's people are spreading branches and annotating hundreds of volumes, but they are getting farther and farther away from the holy will of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which is the so-called misinterpretation of the truth! ”

"But, you are just a child, how dare you reprimand and ridicule those seniors?"

"Official, you are wrong, you must know that this is not a person, even if it is a grass and a tree, it is nothing more than the realm of Manjushri, it mainly depends on your daily affairs, if you can not be obsessed with the appearance of things, it is the realm of the true Manjushri, how can you use mortal feelings to think indiscriminately!"

Lu Taiwei suddenly woke up from the dream, so he knelt down and worshipped, and the boy appeared the solemn treasure image of Manjushri, straddling the golden lion, and gradually disappeared in the clouds. Therefore, Lu Taiwei painted the appearance of the boy he saw wearing grass cattails into a portrait and passed it on to future generations.
