Second, the origin and version of Yijinjing
Yijinjing was introduced into Shaolin Temple by bodhidharma, a Tianzhu monk in the Northern Wei Dynasty (founder of Zen in China). But later generations have different opinions, either from Taoism, or from folk guidance, or from ancient witchcraft dance. Please refer to Yijin Jing, Internal Skill Diagram, Sun Simiao Tianzhu Tuina, Brahman Daoshi Method, Zhou Reinforcing and Washing Internal Skill Diagram, Zhang Qianchuan Shaolin Twelve Methods Yijin Jing, etc. People have two hands and feet, and their posture is always the same, not to mention the intersection of roads. Moreover, cultural exchange and integration are like the double boards of Buddhism and Taoism. It is useless to argue, but what to practice is naturally related to some people getting skin and some people getting marrow. There are many versions of Yijinjing, some say more than a dozen or even hundreds. There are twelve potentials, twenty-four potentials, one hundred and eight potentials, two hundred and twenty-four potentials and so on. There are also many versions with only twelve potentials. There are many reasons, some people get, simplify or change, some people learn incompletely or impure, the ancient Yijin Sutra has pictures but nothing to say, everyone understands differently, and the process of inheritance is different. But as long as you keep practicing, you can keep fit.
Third, the theory of pulp washing meridian
Seeing that the monk was weak, Dharma left the Yijinjing. However, some people say that pulp washing was brought to the cloud through Hui Ke, which has long been lost. Buddhism is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and spreads Buddhism from the west. If Er Zuhui is not a compassionate bodhisattva, how can he inherit the mantle of his ancestors and not spread it around the world? The Yijinjing has been circulated for thousands of years for fear that outsiders will not obey the precepts and bully the weak and fear the hard. Yijinjing is an atlas with pictures and no words. The key to practicing after the nine-body diagram is to wash the marrow sutra, which is difficult for non-Buddhist disciples to understand. If you catch the big four, you can only get meat, at most, bones, or even skins. A man of practice should not give up the root and pursue the end.
