Today, what is implemented in Shifang jungle is more to adjust the gain according to the Yuan Dynasty's "Hundred Houses Cleaning Rules". The abbot is the core of the whole jungle. Under the abbot, there are four captains and eight deacons. The head of Class Four is the first hall, the west hall, the back hall and the hall master, and the eight deacons are the supervisor, guest, monk (also called picket), Na Wei, Dianzuo, Liaoyuan, the mantle and the secretary. Deacon of the jungle, subdivided into * * * one hundred and eight. But these are not necessarily settings, but they are flexibly mastered according to the size of the temple, the number of monks or a special situation, and the names are also different. The names of these ministries and commissions are collectively referred to as governors (level 1), principals (level 2) and principals (level 3). The degree of responsibility can be divided into two parts: grade and grade. Listing is equivalent to a job, focusing on ranking posts according to ability and work needs; The preface is equivalent to the title, focusing on ranking according to the qualifications of becoming a monk and practicing kung fu. Rank sum rank can be divided into east rank and west rank. The East Order is the main order, and the West Order is the guest, so the jungle deacon who works directly for the abbot is listed in the East Order. The people who assist the abbot in his work are listed in the west rank. In fact, the difference between eastern sequence and western sequence is not obvious, but it has become a form. Some people say that this is to imitate the majesty of the civil and military class in the court in front of the saints, which may have some truth. In the ten-square jungle, it is typical to set up 48 deacons, which are arranged in the following order:
(military) rank
Preface to the East: Dujian, Jianyuan, Auxiliary Temple, Suffering, Jianshou, Zhu Zhuang, Motou, Liaoyuan, Dianzhu, Hours, Drum Head and Night Patrol.
West Preface: Dianzuo, Tiean, Fantou, Caitou, Shuitou, Huotou, Chatou, Clothing, Door Head, Source, Laitou and Zhao Ke.
foreword
Preface: Na Wei, Yue Zhong, the founder, incense burning, recording, mantle, decocting medicine, waiter, Zhong Qing, guests, walkers and candle lamps.
West Preface: Zuo Yuan, Shouzuo, Xitang, Houtang, Tang Zhu, Secretary, Tibetan Master, Monk Value, Zhizang, Zhike, Shentou and Surabaya.
The ten-square jungle is generally well organized and its deacons are relatively complete. In the modern jungle, there are basically five parts, namely, meditation hall, living room, warehouse, old man and old man, which are collectively called "five halls"; Among them, the last four are also called "four pavilions". Important temple affairs are decided by the abbot through consultation with the first-class leader and the Sitangkou mage. In addition, there is the first hut to entertain famous guests, a waiter's hut to wait for beginners, a walker's hut to serve pedestrians and children's walkers, and a public hut (Yunshui Hall) to receive past monks. In addition, there are people who have retired from official positions and above, those who have retired from auxiliary temples and below, those who are old, weak and sick in Yanshoutang, and those who are engaged in production by Zen people. Every church has its own laws to abide by.
Shifang jungle is very large, and its property belongs to monks. Monks are not allowed to recruit apprentices, so their monks live together from all directions. Shifang Jungle is qualified to preach precepts at the opening ceremony, and generally preaches precepts regularly to teach precepts to those who seek precepts in the jungle for future generations. The ten-square jungle can be divided into the jungle of selecting sages, the jungle of forbearing relatives and the jungle of legal relatives according to the abbot's generation method. The abbot of Xuanxian jungle is a highly respected person recommended by monks from the majority of monks through democratic consultation. The abbot of the jungle is also a respected person selected from monks, but he must be ordained in this jungle; The abbot of Faju jungle was appointed successively by several Faju disciples recorded by the original abbot of Faju Temple. The abbot of Shifang Jungle is usually appointed once every six years, but he can be re-elected, and some are for life. After the abbot abdicated, he was called a "monk who retired from the hospital".
Shifang jungle can receive monks from all over the world who come here to travel and study, which is called "hanging list" or "hanging water". "single" refers to the monk's luggage, and hanging single refers to putting the luggage away temporarily. The monk hangs a bill in the ten-square jungle and lives in Yunshui Hall first. I have lived in Yunshui Hall for a long time. Upon my request and with the consent of the abbot, I can live in Zen Hall or Buddhist Hall and become a basic monk in the temple. You can go to Yunshuitang at any time; If you want to leave the temple after living in a meditation hall or a Buddhist temple, you can only ask for leave on the fifteenth day of the first month or the fifteenth day of July every year. There is a certain quota for the number of monks in Zen or Buddhist temples.
