Guanyin's hometown is said to be Changji, Xinjiang. A long time ago, there was a robbery in the western regions (now in the north of Changji County, Xinjiang), and stealing the king was called solemn. They lived a nomadic life, and later moved to Suining to settle down, established a city-state, and robbed the king and changed his name to Miao Zhuang. Suining is the wall of Miao Zhuang Wang Jian on the Fujiang River. King Miao Zhuang has raised three daughters, the first one is Miao Shu, the second one is Miao Yin, and the third one is Miao Shan. They were the three sisters of Guanyin, who were later widely circulated. Miaoshan's birth is legendary. His mother had a blooming golden lotus and a pearl in her arms at the beginning of pregnancy. When Miaoshan was born, there were rare birds in unison, and the flowers were in full bloom, which was particularly fragrant. Miaoshan's practice is even more legendary. It is said that Princess Miaoshan has been a vegetarian since she was a child and is charitable. One day in Lingquan Mountain, she "suddenly saw Sakyamuni Buddha and devoted herself to practice" and "overcame many evil forces and finally became Guanyin Bodhisattva." Miao Shu and Miao Shan were married one after another. After Miao Shan grew up, they recruited talents for them against the wishes of the king and decided to train horses. "Wangzhuang was as angry as Lei Zhen" sent Princess Miaoshan to Baique Temple, and asked the monks in the temple to do the most bitter and tiring work for her, hoping that she would change her decision after suffering and satisfy Wang. But Miaoshan carries water, chopping wood, sweeping the floor, washing clothes and cooking every day, and goes to work without regrets. When he has a little leisure, he still reads Buddha. The master of Baique Temple saw that the princess was intelligent and could not bear to delay her future, so she treated the princess well and provided convenience for her practice. Six months later, King Zhuang sent a "palace inspector" to Baique Temple for an unannounced visit. When he learned the truth, he was furious and ordered the Baique Temple to be burned overnight, killing 500 monks and nuns. Miaoshan was rescued to Putuo Mountain, with a tiger in his mouth, and then practiced meditation in Zizhu Cave. Houzhuang Wangsheng 500 is critically ill and refractory. He posted a list of seeking medical treatment. A monk wrote a prescription and needed his relatives to guide him with one hand and one eye. Big princess and the second princess of King Zhuang refused to give her hands and eyes and begged her father's forgiveness. The monk told King Zhuang that Yincui gorge was still alive and was willing to be filial. King Zhuang sent someone to Putuo Mountain. Princess Miaoshan knew the reason early and pointed out: "Your father suffered from a sore dragon, and 500 Boluo suffered from a sore. The sin of burning 500 monks is bound to be stinging. " Then Miaoshan cut his hand and dug his eyes to treat his father. Miao Shan practiced hard in Putuo Mountain for nine years, often holding nectar in a pot to save the people. When the Buddha heard this, he named Guanyin Bodhisattva in Miao Shan as Guanyin Bodhisattva in Miao Shan. He was inspired by compassion and compassion. When father, sister and others came to Putuo Mountain to play, "princesses became thousands of eyes. Thousands of hands and eyes are Guanyin, and Purdue is forever passed down. " One of the evidences: Professor Chen Bing, an expert author of the Institute of Religion of Sichuan University, gave a speech at the seminar of Guanyin Culture Festival in China on June 5438+065438+1October 3, 2004: "The female Guanyin in China migrated from the western regions with the great national migration. The more authoritative is the legend that Wang's third princess Miaoshan achieved Guanyin, which is the legend of the three sisters of Guanyin passed down from generation to generation in Suining. " Professor Xing Li of Minzu University of China wrote the monograph Guanyin: the historical relics of Guanyin practice in Suining legend are particularly unique, such as Guanyin Cave symbolizing Miao Shan's practice, Guanyin cypress symbolizing Miao Shan's Buddha-seeking, Guanyin well symbolizing Guanyin's saving the world, the imperial archway symbolizing Guanyin Dojo's lofty position, Guanyin jewelry seal symbolizing Guanyin's divine power, etc., which not only shows the profound accumulation of Guanyin culture in Suining, but also has Professor Zheng Zhencheng's monograph Guanyin in China-Princess Miaoshan's hometown is in Suining: "Comparatively speaking, At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Indian Buddhism was gradually introduced into the mainland from western China through Xinjiang and other places. At that time, the Da Yue people who first introduced Buddhism into China moved to the Fujiang River valley under the jurisdiction of Suining, and established the kingdom of Xingning. Miao Shan, the third daughter of King Miao Zhuang, practiced in Baique Temple and Putuo Mountain successively, and finally became Guanyin Bodhisattva. Proof 2: Related Historical Facts When Suining Lingquan Temple and guangde temple became the famous Guanyin Dojo in China in the Tang Dynasty, the Guanyin Dojo in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea had not yet been built-Lingquan Temple was built in the early Sui Dynasty (AD 58 1 year), more than 280 years earlier than Putuo Temple (863) and earlier than Xiangshan Temple in Henan, which is known as the "Western Holy Land" in history/kloc-0. Guangde temple was built in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty and was awarded the title of 1 1 by the emperors of the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties. The existing jade seal given by Song Zhenzong (101year) is engraved with "Guanyin Jewelry Seal of Guangli Temple". Evidence 3: Folk manuscripts of Baique Temple in Xishan, Suining. There were more than 500 monks in the past. According to legend, hundreds of white magpies come here for pilgrimage every year, hence the name "Baique Temple". There are 374 lines of seven-character poems in the folk calligraphy "Burning Baique Temple". The poem records: "There is a Baique Temple in Suining, which is famous for thousands of years." It was probably the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. The king of Suining Xingning County has three daughters. "The older one has two wonderful voices, and the younger one is called Miao Shan." "Three girls Miaoshan is not engaged." "The National People's Congress is bent on practice." The folk story of Guanyin becoming a monk: "Jiazi gave birth to me years ago and on February 19th. I don't want my father to recruit Xu, I just want to practice. Father heard resentment in his heart and suffered in the cold palace. There was a catastrophe in Baique Temple, and 500 monks and nuns turned to dust. The Buddha can't save me, and the seven-story pagoda recites the scriptures. "
