It is well known that monks are not allowed to get married and have children in the Central Plains. Why did Kumarajiva, a monk in the late Qin Dynasty, break the precepts and marry and have children? Kumarajiva painstakingly studied Buddhist scriptures and eventually became a master, which was beyond the ability of ordinary monks. However, in the eyes of thousands of people, respecting teachers and attaching importance to Taoism has broken the Ten Commandments of Buddhism because of marriage and having children. What has such great power to break the precepts?

Maybe it's for the "love" in people's hearts, maybe it's forced by external reasons, or maybe both are driven by external forces. Anyway, I hope it is because of love. There is a famous saying from ancient times to the present that you love mountains and rivers, and you love beauty more. What's more, Kumarajiva was different from ordinary people at an early age. He is not only talented, but also very handsome. He is a handsome mixed-race man.
In fact, he is not the only monk who loves ordinary women like Kumarajiva, but Kumarajiva is the luckiest one. More than 0/000 years after Kumarajiva, there was another monk, Cangyang Jiacuo, who could only watch his beloved marry someone else. He is a monk with the highest expression. After falling in love, he finally lost his love because of identity problems. Later, I can only use the pen in my hand, leaving a lot of love poems to express my lovesickness.
Although we don't know how Kumarajiva faced people's eyes at that time, he won his love anyway. A monk, two identities are imposed on him at the same time, and the pressure can be imagined. Although we don't know what he thinks of love now, we can only guess whether it is true or not, only that he has taken action for it.
Kumarajiva married a wife.
Although he was a monk, he got married twice, which was unimaginable in ancient times and even in modern times. The first marriage was in the former Qin Dynasty, and Rush was captured in Liangzhou. Because he studied Buddhism and studied Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, he was very proficient in Buddhism at a young age. Fu Jian sent Lv Guang to attack Qiuci, partly because he wanted Kumarajiva, so he forced him to marry the daughter of the king of Qiuci. Of course, he refused to do it. After all, there is a hard and fast rule in Buddhism that you can't get close to women.

Lv Guang managed to get Rosh drunk and lock them in a room. After all, everyone has worldly desires and got married because of promiscuity after drinking. This is the process of first marriage.
The second time can only be considered cohabitation, and there is no substantive marriage. After the change of dynasties, Roche became the main body of logistics. Emperor Yao Xing admired Kumarajiva very much and attended his Buddhist lecture hall. Rush once again gave a speech on this. When everyone was listening seriously, he stepped down from above and went straight to Yao Xing. He said to him, "I have two children on my shoulders." Need women to make them disappear. " Yao Xing immediately sent a maid-in-waiting to Kumarajiva, and then really gave birth to two children. Then Yao Xing gave him ten * * *, didn't let him live where the monk lived, so he built himself a place.
His first marriage was rarely commented on. After all, it is forced and the hope of the politicians. No one dares to comment. The second time is different, but everyone knows that he asked for it. Therefore, the Buddhist community set off an uproar. He had to step in to stop the riot. He gathered many monks and swallowed a bowl of needles in front of them, telling them that only those who can digest these needles can get close to women, and then the public opinion subsided. He lives a happy life safely.
Kumarajiva's wife.
Kumarajiva is a famous Buddhist, thinker and philosopher in history. He is the ancestor of Buddhism. His achievements in Buddhism and translation of scriptures are very high, which can be said to be unprecedented. He received many apprentices in his life, and many of them made great achievements later. He, Xuanzang,, and are the four major Buddhist translators. He is the first, master of linguistics.

Why did Kumarajiva, an enlightened monk, record in the history books that he broke lust, caution and got married twice? I believe everyone is very interested in such a master's wife. As a monk, lust, caution is the first thing to be observed. There are many monks who broke the precepts like him in history, and Kumarajiva is just one of them. So who is Kumarajiva's wife?
Kumarajiva has had two wives all his life. His first wife was Qiuci's daughter Wu. Everyone is incredible. I didn't expect a monk to marry the king's daughter, which shows that he is not an ordinary monk. His first wife, Ayi Yeweidi, is the youngest in the family, and her background is not elegant now. He married his first wife out of his own will. At that time, the emperor wanted to gather him together and get him and his first wife drunk. Later, uncooked rice was cooked into mature rice, which broke the lust, caution and caution.
Kumarajiva's second wife has no specific records in history. It is said that she was a maid-in-waiting. At that time, the emperor asked Kumarajiva to translate the scriptures, and Kumarajiva told the emperor that he saw two little people on his shoulders. Later, the emperor gave him a beautiful maid-in-waiting, and later the maid-in-waiting gave him two sons. As for this marriage, it is more interesting than the first time, although it is not my intention. But he told Gaozu that he saw two little people. Whether this is true or not cannot be proved.
Does Kumarajiva have children?
There are many stories in history about whether Kumarajiva has children. His wife's name is Ayi Ye Wei Di, and she is the beloved daughter of Baiba, King of Qiuci. There is no record of their children. After all, this marriage was forced, and it was actually drunken promiscuity, which made him regret it and was extremely painful. However, in order to promote Buddhism, we have to submit to humiliation.

But then my servant girl and I gave birth to two children, which are recorded in the history books. This time, Kumarajiva took the initiative to be your main woman, so it's not hard to guess. There is also a saying that Yao Xing worships Roche very much, saying that he is a rare talent with extraordinary wisdom in the world, and it would be a great pity if there is no successor. In order to let him keep the children, he forced Roche to accept ten * * *. This also caused great controversy at that time. Monks also imitated him to marry and have children, and the Buddhist community was in chaos.
It is obviously unbelievable that Ba Long Department of Heaven says that Kumarajiva's son is Ku Mozi, because Kumarajiva in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was a monk, and the difference between them is about 600 years. His nationality is India, and Ku Mochi is a Tubo. An obvious mistake is that Kumarajiva's surname is Kumoro, not Cuomo. They can't be father and son. The prototype of Kumamoto's wisdom is actually Prajna Kumara.
Kumarajiva's life is legendary. In 40 1 year, he was honored as a Buddhist teacher in Yao Xing. Since then, China's ancient Buddhist scriptures can be regarded as popular. About his biography "Biography of Kumarajiva in the Book of Jin", it is recorded that he has two sons, but his surname and first name are not recorded in detail, only a passing mention. It is said that he taught Buddhist classics to monks, monarchs and others in Caotang Temple. Everyone was carefully asking for advice, but he suddenly made a request to the monarch to give himself a woman so that his two children on his shoulders would not interfere with his missionary work. The monarch immediately agreed to his request. Later, there was a saying that "the son of a girl in the palace".
