Explanation of Names of Buddhas

 其名,故強名曰「中」。

病,妙法濟世,無量功德。至今杭州靈隱寺、淨慈寺、虎跑寺等各寺,當留許多古蹟,因其到處救人,起死回生,故人人當他活佛再世,稱呼他老人家為「濟公活佛」。今值三曹普渡,為掌理道盤祖師,亦為我們

5.       Huo-Fo-Shi-Zun


 


Ji-Gong Living Buddha- the Patriarch of Dao Post for the Three Worlds.


He was born in Song Dynasty, year 1131, in China. He was called Li, Xiu-Yuan, also named Dao-Ji while he was cultivating at a temple. He was the incarnation of Xiang-Long-Luo-Han.


The day when he was delivered to the world, a huge red light covered the whole house with extraordinary aroma. He was very good looking when he was born yet he was crying continuously. Soon after his birth, a Buddhist abbot came to his home to congratulate his parents for his birth. He stopped crying and started smiling and laughing the moment he saw this abbot. The abbot took him as his disciple and named him Li, Xiu-Yuan (which means to cultivate good affinity with people, build good karma ). When he was seven years old, he loved to study instead of playing with the children in the neighborhood. His father invited a highly educated scholar to teach him. He was very smart with quick reading and excellent memory. He passed the test as a Child-Scholar at the age of fourteen while his father passed away at the same period of time. He loved to study and the scriptures and sutras were his favorites. When he was eighteen, his mother passed away. After his mother’s funeral, he was determined to leave his home and cultivate. He became a monk at the Ling-Yin Temple, Hang-Zhou, China. Abbot Yuan-Kon was his master who named him Dao-Ji (name for a dharma cultivator). After being enlightened, he conquered countless devils, healed many people, including people who were loyal to the country, people who pay their respect to their parents, and chaste and undefiled widows, his merits and virtues were boundless, infinite. His stories and historical evidence are still kept safely in the Ling-Yin Temple, Jing-Ci Temple, Hu-Pau Temple until this day. Since he was saving people everywhere, reviving countless dying or dead, people all believed that he was a reborn Living Buddha, thus he is called “ Ji-Gong Living Buddha (Ji, means to save, to rescue, to guide…etc; Gong, means selfless, for the public…etc.) “. He is the Enlightening Holy Teacher of nowadays White Sun Era.
