Guan Shengdi’s fulfillment of the five virtues of “benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith” has been respected by countless people for thousands of years.
Here, we are willing to take the virtue story of Guan Shengdi as an example with great piety, and hope that the public can see the virtuous and think together, respect heaven and love, and make beauty and virtue become the criterion of words and deeds.
Guan Shengdi, named Yu, with the word Yunchang, was born in Jiezhou, Hedong (now Jiezhou Town, Yuncheng, Shanxi).
In the third year of Yanxi (160ad), Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty was born on June 24 of the lunar calendar. He is a descendant of Guan Longfeng, a doctor during Xia Jie.
The name of the holy ancestor, the word to it, the number of rock; Chong mu haodao taught his son in the book of changes and the spring and Autumn Annals. The Holy Father is named Yi and has a long way to go. He served his parents and was filial to them for three years.
According to the Sutra of emperor Guan and Emperor Ming, “the emperor always looks at the spring and Autumn period, and the young look at Confucius and Mencius.” we can see its family origin.
In other words, Confucius, the master of Shandong, compiled the spring and Autumn Annals according to the history of Lu, and achieved the literary sage first by the way of benevolence and righteousness; Guan Shengdi, the master of Shanxi Province, read the spring and Autumn Annals and became a martial saint with the way of loyalty and righteousness.
Since ancient times, the moral standard and spiritual connotation of the holy immortal Buddha who has achieved Taoism and fruit are consistent regardless of the time of becoming holy.
