Dirk Van der Herten Posted November 17, 2019 Share #19088 Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) A second hint: the city where our Buddhist master resided was an important place during the Tang dynasty.

a.noctilux Posted November 17, 2019 Share #19089 Posted November 17, 2019 Even here with this last hint, I can't say Kōbō-Daishi (Shingon founder Kūkai ) or Saichō of Tendai who went at same time to China. Or another master ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted November 17, 2019 Share #19090 Posted November 17, 2019 Excellent guess, it's one of those two we are looking for. These two were contemporaries, and it is said they knew each other. But only one of them resided in the location in the photo. The name of the important city during the Tang periode will lead you to the name of our master, and also to the name of the monastery in the photo.

a.noctilux Posted November 17, 2019 Share #19091 Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) It was not easy, but really interesting. Didn't realize that Blue Dragon Temple, with the modern buildings behind. Kūkai met Huiguo at the Blue Dragon Temple, Xian ( Chang'an by then ) to study Esoteric Buddhism Edited November 17, 2019 by a.noctilux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted November 17, 2019 Share #19092 Posted November 17, 2019 You solved the riddle, congratulations. Will you post a photo now?PS They still remember Kūkai in Xi'an. In the garden of the monastery there is a statue of Kūkai and his teacher Huiguo who introduced him in esoteric Buddhism. Welcome, dear visitor!

a.noctilux Posted November 17, 2019 Share #19093 Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks Dirk. After this very nice enigma, I don't have interesting photo to post. Sorry. I pass my turn. Next member can post the next one, please. More ... Kūkai : "As soon as he saw me, the abbot [Huiguo] smiled, and said with delight, "Since learning of your arrival, I have waited anxiously. How excellent, how excellent that we have met today at last! My life is ending soon, and yet I have no more disciples to whom to transmit the Dharma. ..." ... Huiguo began an intensive training of Kūkai that ended when he died in 805 CE. While the tantric tradition largely died out in China, the lineage survived in Japan as the Shingon school.

Dirk Van der Herten Posted November 18, 2019 Share #19097 Posted November 18, 2019 I confess, Arnaud, I used a few Google searches. At first I thought it was in India, but the clothes these figures are wearing wasn't quite right. Then search terms like Indonesia, bicycle, wall carving, etc. brought me ever closer till I hit the Wikipedia article. I will pass the next turn to someone else. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
