What is the difference between the Buddha statues of Lantern Buddha, Sakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Pharmacist Buddha?

There are two versions of "III Buddha", one is the past Buddha, the present Buddha and the future Buddha according to the original time meaning of "III", and the other is the sphere of influence according to the region. This III Buddha refers to the pharmacist Buddha in the oriental pure glass world, the Sakyamuni Buddha in the bodhisattva world, and the Amitabha Buddha in the western paradise. The former III Buddha is called the vertical III Buddha, and the latter III Buddha is called the horizontal III Buddha. Vertical Buddha III is the past Buddha burning lamp Buddha, the present Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha and the future Buddha Maitreya Buddha. III is also called San Ji. This world is called Loka in Sanskrit, and the Shurangama Sutra says: "The world is shifting", which means the flow of time. When Buddhism is used in causal reincarnation, "world" refers to the time span of an individual's first life and death. Three can also be called past life, present life, afterlife, or past life, present life, afterlife, or previous life, middle life and afterlife. In Buddhism, it is impossible for the "world" to appear in a blink of an eye. The shortest is the so-called "time three", which is a transliteration of Sanskrit Ksana, meaning the shortest time. The most common three are "three lives" or "three lives", with the first period of life and death as a lifetime. There is also a kind of "robbing the world". Rob, a transliteration of Sanskrit Kalpa, is the abbreviation of "Loeb", which means very long time. Brahmanism believes that the world will experience many disasters. One is 4.32 billion years (or 128 billion years). At the end of the disaster, there will be a "fire robbery" that will burn everything down and create a new world. Buddhism regards robbery as life, which is slightly different from the above-mentioned Brahmanism heresy, but it also believes that the world has a periodic process of creation and destruction. "Three Buddhas" refers to the last concept of time. In some temples, the three Buddha statues enshrined in Daxiong Hall are the Three Buddhas. In the middle of Siddhartha Gautama, there is a burning Buddha statue on the left and a Maitreya Buddha statue on the right. There is also a saying in Buddhism that there are 3,000 Buddhas in the world, that is, the past solemnly robbed 1,000 Buddhas, collectively known as the Buddha who lights up; Today's sages robbed thousands of buddhas, collectively known as Sakyamuni Buddha; In the future, the stars will rob thousands of Buddhas, which is called Maitreya Buddha. The three statues on the altar are the representatives of three thousand buddhas. Burning Buddha is a free translation of Sanskrit Dipamkarara, also called "Yuanbao Buddha". Volume 9 of Great Wisdom says: "Everything around you is like a lamp when you are born, so you are named Prince Randeng, and when you become a Buddha, you are also called a lamp." When the Buddha Sakyamuni was a Confucian scholar in his last life, he spent 500 yuan to buy five halls of five treasures from the girls of the Wang family and dedicate them to the burning Buddha. Once he went out with the burning Buddha and saw the mud on the ground, so he took off his clothes and covered it, and asked Master to step on it. The burning Buddha gave this clever and pious Confucian scholar a note: "It was a robbery after 9 1 year, and a famous person robbed you. You are regarded as a Buddha, and Sakyamuni counts. " It can also be seen (in the volume of Ruiying Jing) that although it is a III Buddha, it is not a world robbery. There is a 90-year gap between the solemn robbery of burning lanterns and the robbery of Sakyamuni as a Buddha by saints. According to the most conservative statement, the mentoring gap is about 390 billion years. In China, burning Buddha later became an important role among some ghosts and gods, and it was also deeply believed by Bailian religion and other religions. In a large number of scriptures fabricated by Anbalism, names such as "ancient Buddha", "burning lamp" and "vacuum bodhi old zu" abound. The other two Buddha statues, Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Buddha III, can be found in their own entries. Constant III Buddha is the pharmacist Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha and Amitabha Buddha. Sakyamuni Buddha is the leader of the female world. The so-called "Nupo" is a transliteration of Sanskrit Saha, which is translated as "forbearance" and means to endure. Forbearance has two meanings. First, it means that the real world enlightened by Sakyamuni Buddha is full of unbearable suffering, and all beings are guilty; The second is that buddhas and bodhisattvas "endure" fatigue in this world, educate them and show their "fearlessness" and "compassion". Pharmacist Buddha is the leader of the pure glass world in the East. Pharmacologists classic said: "After going here for ten years, there is a world of Buddha land such as Jiasha, which is famous for its clean glass, and the Buddhist pharmacist's glass is as bright as Buddha." Pharmacist Liu Rulai, also known as pharmacist Liu Buddha, pharmacist Buddha, doctor Wang Buddha and doctor Wang Shan all died. According to the classics of pharmacologists, he made twelve wishes, including "to get rid of all diseases of sentient beings and make them feel comfortable physically and mentally", "to turn women into men", "to free all sentient beings from evil kings and robbers", "to make hungry sentient beings have food" and "to make the poor without clothes get strange clothes". What is emphasized in the belief system is undoubtedly the oath and ability to "eliminate all diseases". The Buddha said that if you get the Tao, you will be freed from the classics of life and death. There is also a special method to record the pharmacist Buddha's help to patients: "Save the Bodhisattva (that is, the pharmacist Buddha) from the white Buddha's words: If you are in pain and trouble, please ask all the monks to abstain from chanting the scriptures for seven days and seven nights, and persuade them to hang seven layers of lights. The five-color lights will last for 49 feet and the lights will be restored. There are seven lights on each of the seven floors, which turn like wheels. If it is difficult, it can be excessive. " The pharmacist Buddha, together with Sakyamuni and Amitabha Buddha, is enshrined in Mahayana Hall, but the shape is very similar. Generally, in the middle is the Buddha of Sakyamuni, and on the left and right are the halls of Manjusri and Pu Xian. On the left is the pharmacist Buddha, and on the left and right are the sun, moon and bodhisattva; On the right is Amitabha Buddha, and on the left and right is Guanyin Bodhisattva. In addition, the handprints of the three buddhas are also somewhat different. The pharmacist Buddha often makes bowl-shaped hands to show nectar; The other one has a pill. Tommy Buddha often makes handprints with his hands folded or crossed, with two fingers pointing upwards, and some palms have lotus seats. This is a gesture to attract all beings. Siddhattha gotama's left hand "prints as he wishes" and his right hand "prints without fear". In addition to the joint confession of Buddha III, there are also special "Pharmacist Hall" and "Medicine King Hall". In the center of the hall are the "three pharmacists", namely the pharmacist Buddha and his threatening Sun Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva. On both sides of some of them, there are also twelve pharmacists, also known as twelve medicine forks, all of whom are military commanders in armor, each with 7,000 families. The twelve medicine forks will be exactly two places where pharmacists meet the twelve wishes of the pharmacist Buddha. In the belief system of Buddhism in China, the Twelve Medicine Forks gradually became compatible with the Twelve Earthly Branches in China, and became the twelve-hour protector, and its image was also related to the zodiac. For example, Pirello brought a pig's crown, and Zhao Duluo brought a dog's crown until Pirello brought a mouse's crown in the original palace. The name, body color, weapons and their coordination with time are as follows: a palace with a yellow treasure pestle, a white sword, three ugly fans with a yellow treasure stick, a dark green treasure mallet, five red treasure forks, six Sandro black swords, seven red treasure sticks, eight red treasure mallets, nine white treasure axes, ten real treasure axes and eleven blue treasure mallets. Twelve Luo Chi holds a treasure wheel and the pharmacist Tathagata himself. According to the "Pharmacist's Ceremony", the pharmacist Buddha "holds the medicine device in his left hand, which is priceless, and his right hand is sealed, wearing a cassock and sitting on the lotus platform." Tathagata pharmacists also take Manjusri Bodhisattva, Guanyin, Shi Zhi, Baotanhua, Endless Meaning, Wang Yao, drug dealers, Maitreya and other bodhisattvas as their waiters. Bodhisattva, the master of Jiaxiang in Sui Dynasty, said in Sakyamuni: "The medicine king used to save the sick with medicine, because he thought it was famous." According to the Sutra of the Two Bodhisattvas on the King of Medicine, the King of Medicine and the King of Medicine are brothers, one is starlight and the other is lightning. In the past, he was praised as the king of medicine and the king of medicine by the public because he used various herbs to support monks. Later, they were also instructed by Sakyamuni Buddha to become Buddhas in the afterlife. According to Hokkeyo's "The Skill of the Medicine King Bodhisattva", the medicine king Bodhisattva once painted his body with sesame oil and burned his arms to worship the Buddha, so he is also one of the great bodhisattvas who protect Hokkeyo. The Hokkekyo Datura Wei Yi Se Jing translated by Tang Dynasty recorded the image of the Bodhisattva, the king of medicine, wearing a crown of jewels, a heavenly coat, all kinds of beautiful flowers, drooping ears, garlands and rings, fine brocade as a waist scarf, and HongLing as a belt. She was kind and solemn, and her whole body shone. The left hand is fixed on the knee, and the right hand, Huiyun, walks to the sun and sits on the stage of Baolian. Folk people often confuse the pharmacist Liuli Guangfo with the medicine king Bodhisattva. Of course, Sun Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva are common attendants of the pharmacist Buddha. Sunshine Bodhisattva is called Sunshine Bodhisattva. According to Tang Xuanzang's translation of the Tathagata Sutra for Pharmacists, Tathagata has "two bodhisattvas, one with sunlight and the other with moonlight, which is the first of countless bodhisattvas". The statue of Sunlight Bodhisattva that appears alone is rare, and it often forms a pattern of one Buddha and two Bodhisattvas with Moonlight Bodhisattva and Pharmacist Buddha. At this time, the Sun Bodhisattva usually wears heavenly clothes and crowns; Or holding the sun gear Lotus symbolizing the sun. Some people still hold sun gear with their hands. In esoteric Buddhism, the Sunshine Bodhisattva is placed in the mandala of the fetal Tibetan world, and his secret name is Wade King Kong. Its shape is flesh-colored, bodhisattva-shaped, with a treasure hall in its left hand and a wish seal in its right hand, sitting on the red lotus. Moonlight Bodhisattva is another threat to the pharmacist Buddha, whose full name is Moonlight Shining Bodhisattva. There are not many statues of Moonlight Bodhisattva that appear alone. As a threatened bodhisattva, there is little difference between being threatened by Manjushri and Pu Xian of Sakyamuni Buddha and being threatened by Guanyin of Amitabha Buddha, but there is a slight difference in what you hold. Moonlight Bodhisattva holds a half-moon violet flower or a bright moon. In the mandala of tantric King Kong realm, his secret name is Cool King Kong. At this time, the image of the Moonlight Bodhisattva is white, with his left fist at his waist and a half-moon lotus in his right hand. The Moonlight Bodhisattva in the fetal Tibetan world is a yellow teenager with a lotus in her left hand and a half moon on it.
