Yes, the one you described is just one of the 2 Pure Lands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

There are two places seen as the Pure Lands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, one in India and one in China. It is at the Chiuhua Mountain, one of the four most famous mountains in China. It is located in Anhui Province, eastern China. A Korean monk named Chin Chao-chueh once lived there with his white dog. Some villagers came to the mountain and discovered his crude, ascetic lifestyle, and they built a temple for him in which he could carry out his spiritual cultivation. At that time, the person who owned the mountain was a rich old man whom everyone called "Elder Min." He was a devoted Buddhist, and when he learned that a holy man had been living on his mountain, he promptly invited him for a meal. During the meal, Chin asked Elder Min for a piece of land to build a larger temple. Elder Min agreed, but he teased the monk by saying, "You may have as much land as you can cover with the shadow of your robe." Chin took off his robe and threw it up into the air, and its shadow covered the whole mountain. Amazed by this display of supernatural power, Elder Min happily agreed to donate the whole mountain to the monk.

It is said that during the day Chin gave lectures on Buddhism to his disciples and lay followers, but at night he also taught ghosts and suffering souls in hell. Therefore, people believed that Chin was a transformation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and they built a temple on the mountain to commemorate him after he died. Chiuhua Mountain thus became this bodhisattva's Pure Land in China.

The other Pure Land is in India at the Kharadiya Mountain, near the ancient city of Gaya, ninety-six kilometers southwest of modern Patna. The Buddha once gave a lecture about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on this mountain. Just before he began to speak, all sorts of incredible things happened: clouds made fantastic formations around the mountain, and the people in the audience saw themselves decorated with flowers, jewels, and other ornaments. The radiance of the jewels shone in every direction to the Pure Lands of other buddhas. Then, the Buddha told the people why all this was happening.

In the Buddhist concept, hell is one of the six destinations in the cycle of reincarnation. Souls are punished there for the crimes or sins they committed in previous incarnations. There are many different levels in hell for various kinds of punishment. Contrary to the Western concept of eternal punishment in hell, souls can be reborn in another realm once their punishments have been completed. However, even though they have received their punishments, some people may still not have become better people for it or fully repented for serious crimes committed in previous lives, so they may be reborn as animals or insects.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva vowed that as long as there was still one suffering soul in hell, he would not attain buddhahood. Since there are always many souls in hell, Ksitigarbha has a lot of work to do! However, because of his great compassion, the bodhisattva still vowed to save them all. He does not want to see people being punished in hell and then committing still more crimes in their next lives. In addition to suffering souls in hell, the bodhisattva also helps living beings in other realms: humans, celestial beings, asuras, hungry ghosts, and animals and insects. He hopes that by teaching all these creatures, he will be able to stop them from committing more crimes, and thus help them to end their constant suffering.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva';s Great Vow:

"????????????????????"
"If the Hell is not empty; I will not attain Buddhahood."

Namo Bodhisattva Kishitigarbha Mahasattva!

evo3 · #**853** 03-10-2005, 03:45 PM

Bro DOM, if the back of the amulet is plain, I think is not from the temple, usually what I hv with me is all the back of the amulet have a kind of stamp like a temple - something like that lah. maybe yours is different

DOM ROUGH · #**854** 03-10-2005, 05:15 PM
