Mazu appeared.
Mazu was born.
After Mazu was born, why was it called Maureen? There is a legend here.
On one occasion, Guanyin Bodhisattva took the Dragon Daughter and Fuyun to attend the flat peach party of Mother Earth, and everyone walked through the clouds to Putuo Mountain. When passing through the zenith of Putian, there were several dark elves who went straight to the zenith from the sea. The dragon lady who walked in front brushed aside the clouds and saw: on the surface of Maozhou Bay, several fishing boats sank, many fishermen fell into the bottom of the sea, and several underwater monsters were scrambling to eat human bodies; On the shore, there are many wives and children. Some cry for their husbands, some cry for their brothers, which is very miserable.
After watching this scene, the dragon lady couldn't bear it. In fact, Guanyin knew that there was a sea monster making trouble in Nizhou Bay, but because the secret could not be revealed, she didn't tell Dragon Lady. The dragon lady said to Guanyin, "These monsters are disturbing creatures. If they are not removed, they will do a lot of harm to people in the future. Please be merciful and save all beings. " Guanyin said, "Dragon Lady, this is a secret. You don't have to worry about it. When you get to the abode of fairies and immortals, you will naturally understand. " Say that finish, mentoring three people continue to walk again. Just about to enter the temple, another group of pilgrims came to the temple gate. One of them, Lin Yuan, patrolled the mainland and took his wife and servants to Kannonji. When he saw these people enter the temple, he immediately became a person's seat and burned incense there. I heard Mrs. Lin's plea: "Guanyin Bodhisattva is merciful. My Lin family gave birth to a boy and four girls. Unfortunately, the boss is stupid and sick, afraid that no one will continue to burn incense in the future. I asked Guanyin to give him another person to receive incense. If you can promise, my Lin family will help the world in Dobusch. " After Lin was willing to burn incense with his wife, he took her back. Soon, all the pilgrims left, and Guanyin said to the dragon girl, "The dragon girl is a kind disciple, and the Lins have been kind and kind for generations." This time I came to ask for an heir, and Master had to agree. The day after tomorrow, you will be reborn in his house, end this fate, surrender evil spirits, and do justice for heaven. " The dragon lady was about to ask again when she heard this. Guanyin said, "This is an act of god. Don't ask again, go!"
Hearing this, the dragon lady had to worship Guanyin and walk out of the Buddhist temple with the mountain wealth. The dragon lady said to Shancai, "Master told me to descend to the earth to subdue demons and do justice for heaven. I am afraid that I will become a mortal and cannot complete this great cause. " Shan Caidao: "Don't worry. At that time, I will go to the mortal world to help you. " Besides, Mrs. Lin got pregnant after she went to Guanyin Pavilion to burn incense. Many days later, Mrs. Lin will give birth. Everyone in the house is busy, and everyone is waiting for Mrs. Lin to give birth to your son as soon as possible. It is also this day. The dragon girl descended to earth, bid farewell to Guanyin, and flew to the Lins with the mountain wealth. The red light flashed and there was a "bang" like a landslide. A girl of the Lins hurriedly said to Lin Yuan, "Madam has given birth to a daughter." Hearing this, Lin was very unhappy and walked around the hall. At this time, outside the Lins' door, red light shone back and forth. Everyone thought there was a fire, so hurry to put out the fire. But when I arrived at the Lins' house, I not only didn't see Mars, but also smelled the fragrance along the way. Mrs. Lin didn't give birth to a daughter until everyone asked about the situation. So, congratulations to Mrs. Lin, everyone went back.
It was a happy event to add a few more people to the family. But because Mrs. Lin gave birth to her fifth daughter, Lin was a little unhappy. Besides, the little girl gave birth to a full moon and didn't laugh or cry. Lin thought that she was dumb and decided to abandon her in the wild for a day. Lin wanted to sneak his wife out of the house and come to a remote hill when she was not looking. Just as she was about to leave, a Taoist priest came over and sang, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!" " Hearing this, Lin thought, "Does this man have something to say?" He asked, "What advice does the master have?" "What happened to this little girl?" asked the Taoist. Lin wanted to answer: "This little girl will not laugh or cry after giving birth to a full moon, and she will be mute in the future. So ... "
"Are you dumb? Let me know that I am original! "
"Well, you see, if she can talk, I'll bring her back to support her. If she can't talk, I'll give it to you to take away."
"All right!" After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he said a word to my daughter, who was laughing and talking clearly. Lin was surprised, so he said goodbye to the Taoist priest, held his little daughter in his arms, turned around and saw that the Taoist priest had gone without a trace. Later generations said that Taoist priests were auspicious incarnations to guide the Dragon Lady.
When Lin wanted to go home, she gave the strange daughter a strange name-Maureen. This Maureen is the sea god Mazu that people often say later.
Ps:
According to the records of Linzhou and Taiwan Province Province, Mazu's surname is Lin, and he lives in Lianggang, Putian County. Father Lin Zhu, during the Five Dynasties in Fujian, all officials were examined, and mother Wang Sheng was a man and five women. In Song and Yuan Dynasties, on March 23rd, she gave birth to her sixth daughter. She didn't hear the crow in the middle of the month, so she became famous. When he was seven, he taught and understood the meaning of the text. Ten-year-old Li Yongjing Buddha statue. At the age of twelve, there was a way to give the mysterious secret to Xuan Tong. Fifteen years old can cure diseases and save lives. And often cross the sea to Tears Island to help fishermen and boat people in distress in the sea. Song Yongxi was born in Tears Island on September 9, 2004. He was eight years old. Mazu was happy to rescue sunken ships all his life. Deeply respected by the people. In order to commemorate her merits, Bai Yi built a temple on Nizhou Island in 937, which has been around for a thousand years. Zheng He, a navigator in Ming Dynasty, was twice ordered to visit Weizhou Island and expand the temple. After the Qing Emperor Kangxi, Mazu Tempel expanded on a large scale, and Mazu Tempel was called the "Dragon Officer at Sea". Since the Song Dynasty, Mazu has survived 28 times. In the fifth year of Song Xuanhe, Mrs. Shunzhi was knighted in the first year and saved in the eighteenth year of Yuan Dynasty. In the 13th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Interior of People's Republic of China (PRC) ordered all provinces to preserve Mazu Tempel and renamed it Lin Xiaoniu Temple. Therefore, Mazu is called "Tian Fei", "Tianhou" and "Tiannv". Today, Mazu temples are all over the world. Taiwan Province Island alone has more than 800 temples. Foreigners call Mazu "the goddess of the sea", which shows Mazu's great influence at home and abroad.
Peeping into the Well is a gobbledygook.
When Maureen was young, she often went to the seaside to play, sometimes helping the returning fishing boats carry things, and sometimes helping the boatmen to receive goods and send water. After a long time, everyone became familiar with her and called her Lin Moniang.
Once, a few fishing boats just went out to sea, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and all the boats at the bottom of the sea were overturned at once. Later, several rudders marked "Follow the Mainland" floated to the island. Many families of the victims saw it and knew that something had happened to their loved ones. Everyone cried. Maureen was very sad when she saw this scene, and secretly swore to heaven: I am willing to sacrifice everything to tame the storm and escort fishermen and boat people! However, she couldn't figure out where to start this matter at the moment. Since then, she has come to the seaside every day to observe the changes. One day and two days, January and February, took a lot of time.
On this day, it was stormy. Maureen stood alone by the sea, looking at the dog and the sea. At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva in Putuo Mountain has only one calculation. Knowing that Maureen was in trouble, he called Shancai and told him how to help Maureen. Shancai got the imperial edict and flew directly to Tiaozhou Island in Putian.
Cunninghamia lanceolata went to Tiaozhou Island and turned herself into an old man. She went to Maureen and said, "Who are you and why are you standing here alone?" Maureen replied: "I am observing the weather changes in order to escort fishermen at sea in the future."
"It's a bodhisattva heart. Actually, it's not difficult. As long as you have the determination, you will always do it. "
"Please ask the Taoist for advice."
"Well, if you really make up your mind and meditate on the Guanyin Sutra every day, you will naturally understand yourself after July 49." Sugiyama said, and left without looking back.
From then on, Maureen recited the Guanyin Sutra to Mo Jing under the guidance of Taoist priests. Whether it rains or not, concentrate on chanting and never lose heart. Luck visits Maureen from time to time to help him secretly. Sometimes, in order to test the concentration of the swimming pool, he turned into a teenager and approached Maureen to make fun of him. Maureen doesn't look up, and her eyes don't squint; Sometimes he turns into a beast, a snake and a scorpion to scare her. Maureen still sat still, absorbed in reciting the Guanyin Sutra. After sitting for 7749 days, on the last day, five sisters in the family thought their little sister had dementia and all came to visit her. I saw my little sister's hands folded and closed for a day. Everyone was surprised and shouted "A-mei!"
Maureen listened and said, "Coming!" The words sound just fell and the golden light in the well flashed, and a thick smoke rushed up from the ground. My sister shouted "wow" and fainted at the same time. At this moment, Maureen opened her eyes and saw a turtle lying on the wellhead with a "golden book" on her back. Maureen immediately took the letter, and there was not a word in it. Just when she was suspicious, Shancai turned into a Taoist priest and stood in front of her and said, "Good! Very good! This is a wordless gobbledygook. Because of your kindness, I moved to heaven, so I gave you a gobbledygook. If you encounter any problems in the future, just burn incense and meditate, recite the Guanyin Sutra, and you will know at a glance. " When Maureen heard this, she remembered it in her heart, holding a gobbledygook in her hand, and went forward to salute the Taoist priest and said, "Thank you for your advice." Suddenly, after a gust of wind, the Taoist priest disappeared.
Besides, Maureen's five sisters woke up at this time, but they didn't know what happened in front of them. Everyone went forward to read the book in Miss Sister's hand and said, "There is not a word in it. What do you want it to do? " Maureen smiled and said, "I have my own uses. You don't have to worry about it. Go ahead, go to that fake one! "
In the future, whenever there is a crisis. Maureen went to read gobbledygook and solved many things, big and small.
Soothe Gong Yan.
Gong Yan is the Poseidon of the East Sea of China.
Once, Maureen was driving a fishing boat. On the way, I'm going to see a fisherman on the island. When the ship reached the seaside, a storm suddenly broke out. Fishing boats float like leaves in the wind and waves. Everyone on board is calling for heaven and earth. Just then, Gong Qiao suddenly shouted, "The mast and rudder are shaking!" Maureen saw it and said loudly to the people on board, "Don't be afraid!" " Then he said to Gong Pinren, "Throw the spin!" "Xiao Gong listened to what she said, so he put down the boat and turned it as commanded. Strange to say, the boat sank as soon as it was put down. Maureen went to the bow and saw a man with a beard, prominent eyes, a golden crown and embroidered clothes riding a dolphin, floating up and down with the waves. When he saw the silence standing at the bow, he immediately set off a storm. Suddenly, more thunder and less rain, and dark clouds filled the sky. Maureen's boat shook violently again. Maureen knew it was a sea monster, so he immediately read a spell, took out a symbol and threw it into the sea. Suddenly, the fog cleared and the sky cleared, and a gust of wind and a row of huge waves came straight at the sea monster. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the sea monster accepted the magic, sat on the dolphin's back, bowed to Maureen with his hands in the air, and then left without saying a word.
This sea monster was only subdued by Maureen for a while, and did not give up. Instead, I changed my method and turned into a black dragon, bared my teeth and rolled on the sea. Maureen thought: Last time I let you live, but you didn't know how to retreat. This time you are here to make waves and disturb all beings. If it is not contained, the consequences will be endless. Then, Maureen read another spell and threw a fishing net at the black dragon.
The black dragon was suddenly entangled in a fishing net and rolled around desperately, but could not escape. When the sea monster knew that Maureen was powerful, he showed his true colors. When Maureen saw this, she said, "Where are you from, the demon, who dares to make waves here and disturb all beings?" Sea monster said; "I am Poseidon of the East China Sea. I patrolled here today and saw you standing at the bow, not afraid of big waves, so I used my magic to scare you with the wind and waves. I didn't expect you to surrender. Please forgive me! " As soon as Maureen heard this, she was afraid of his rhetoric again, so she put away the fishing net, threw the cable out and told him to pull it. I don't know what it is, but the sea monster reached out and took the cable. I didn't expect to be tied up at once, and it became tighter and tighter, so that I couldn't turn, so I could only fluctuate with the waves. The sea monster had no choice but to beg Maureen: "My aunt is convinced, and I am willing to listen to her." Seeing that the sea monster had repentance, Maureen said, "To get rid of the bondage, you must promise me one thing."
"Ok, I promise, you go!"
"In the East China Sea of China, the waves are rough, and boat people often capsize and fall into the water. From now on, you must patrol this sea area, protect fishing boats and make amends. Do you promise or not? "
"Listen to the godmother!"
Maureen saw him surrender, read a spell, took the rope, untied the sea monster and said, "Go!" "
The sea monster bowed to Maureen and became an incarnation. This sea monster is Duke Yan, a black-faced and glaring bodhisattva in Mazu Tempel today. Gong Yan also became the general manager of Mazu Waterfinch Fairy Class, helping Mazu protect the safety of fishermen at sea.
Mazu demonized.
According to legend, on an island near Weizhou Island, there are two demons, one is Jia Ying and the other is Jia You. Sometimes they are on barren hills, which are amazing and charming. Sometimes in the waves, the boat capsizes, causing harm to life.
One day, a sailboat full of passengers passed by the nearby sea. When Britain and Britain saw this, they followed closely and planned to make waves and overturn the passenger ship. When the passenger ship sailed to the depths of the sea, the two monsters immediately offered magic, and suddenly the sea was raging and the waves were as high as the sky. The passengers were very scared. They knelt on the board and shouted to the sky, "God bless you!" " "
Suddenly, a white light flashed, followed by "rumbling" thunder exploding overhead. In a flash, the wind stopped, the waves calmed down, the ship stabilized, and people turned from surprise to joy. At this time, people saw that in front of the passenger ship, a small fishing boat was floating in the waves, and a beautiful little girl stood on the bow. Ying and You couldn't help salivating when they saw this beautiful little girl. They changed their minds, overturned the passenger ship and chased the fishing boat that the woman was riding.
However, Yanheyou couldn't catch up with the fishing boat. The two monsters chase fast, and the fishing boat runs fast; The second monster chased slowly, and the fishing boat drove slowly. He was so angry that he shouted "whoa whoa whoa". After chasing for a while, the fishing boat suddenly turned around and headed for the right coast. The second monster was secretly happy when he saw it, because the coast on the right was a barren hill. They think that they can't catch up with the sea, and when they reach the barren hills, they are not afraid of losing their hands and mouths as long as they chase forward and cut back. I saw the little girl raise her palm and pat her face gently. The two monsters only felt that her face was hit hard by something, her eyes were staring at stars and her legs were out of control. She knelt on the ground with a "Bodhisattva". They didn't think that they were defeated by the little girl, and they were not convinced. They gave each other a wink, and with a "honk", they jumped up from the ground. Who knows that just after jumping, I was bitten by a little girl and fell to the ground again. At this time, the second monster really gave up: "God forgive me! God forgive me! " The little bitch didn't even look, only snorted, turned and left, boarded the fishing boat and sailed to the sea.
Ying and you quickly got up from the ground, ran to the shore, jumped into a boat and hurried to the fishing boat where the woman was riding. They rowed desperately and shouted, "Goddess-wait a minute!" The little girl slowed down the boat and waited for the second monster to come on board. She smiled and said, "Do you still want to fight like this?" The second monster knelt on the boat, folded his hands and said, "No, no". The little one knows that he is evil, and it is rare for the goddess to be merciful and spare his life. We are willing to mend after the sheep is dead, serve under the goddess and die without hesitation! "
This little bitch is Maureen. She subdued the two monsters with one move, and when she saw them begging on their knees, she smiled and nodded and agreed to take them in wholeheartedly. Since then, Jiaying and Jiayou have also been included in the narcissus class.
