"oh my god, when we talk about 'all the people are prosperous and prosperous, and spread the virtue of saving the world', our hearts are also warm. just like what is sung in the old "legend of jigong", the figure of jigong, who is like a living bodhisattva, was brought to life by our teacher you benchang! in the 1980s, when jigong was mentioned, who would not immediately think of teacher you's smiling face, who could see through people's hearts with a narrowed eye? today, let's talk about the legendary story of this 'living jigong'!"

1. it is destined that jigong has a deep connection with me

you see, the fate between you benchang and jigong is destined by heaven. in 1985, you, 53 years old, had been working in the film and television industry for half his life, but he was still a nobody. as luck would have it, director liang nansheng waved his hand, and the banner of "jigong's travels" was raised. when you benchang took on the role, he was like jigong reincarnated!

teacher you recalled that before filming began, he was sincere and burned several sticks of incense in front of the jigong statue. he had only one thought in his mind: "master jigong, please bless me and let me play this role to perfection!" guess what? that night, he had a dream. in the dream, an old man with a white beard said to him cheerfully: "don't worry, i'm here!" the next day, teacher you went to that station and spoke the lines fluently, as if he were speaking his own language. his movements and eyes were so vivid!

2. strange things happen one after another, is it jigong appearing in spirit?

during the filming, strange things happened one after another, you wouldn’t believe it if i told you. take the scene with the strong wind for example, teacher you patted his chest and said, “wind, you have to come whether you want to or not!” before he finished speaking, a strong wind came and the staff were stunned.

there was also a rainy scene, when there was not a single raindrop in the sky. teacher you smiled and said, "watch me!" he put his hands together and muttered a few words, and then the raindrops seemed to have heard his words and fell down. what do you think, if this is not the manifestation of jigong's spirit?

the most amazing scene was the one with the white butterfly. teacher you waved his hand gently, and the butterfly flew to his hand as if it recognized its master, and circled around the fan. the scene was as beautiful as a painting, and everyone was stunned. everyone whispered in private: "teacher you, did you learn some magic from jigong?"

teacher you laughed and waved his hands after hearing this: "what kind of magic is this? maybe master jigong saw my sincerity and gave me face!"

3. in and out of the play, the spirit of jigong will be passed on forever

as soon as "jigong's travels" was broadcast, mr. you became a household name. but for him, playing jigong was more valuable than any award. why? because he completely understood jigong's heart of "saving the world and saving people".

in 2009, on his 85th birthday, mr. you became a monk with the buddhist name "benzhi". now, both on and off the stage, he is a true "living jigong".

now, master you is over 90 years old and no longer acts, but his heart to help others is warmer than ever. he donated money and materials, sponsored students, and helped disaster victims. he said: "in my lifetime, i want to pass on the spirit of compassion of jigong and let everyone feel this warmth."

4. "grandpa jigong", a new idol for young people

you know what, master you's reputation as "grandpa jigong" is also very well-known among young people. when he talks about buddhist principles, he doesn't use those abstruse and mysterious things, but uses the common people's plain language, and occasionally he pops out a few witty remarks with a strong northeastern accent, which makes everyone laugh.

“young people, you have to be more responsible. don’t just think about your own little plans. think about how to help others. that’s how you can live a fulfilling life!” master you’s words touched the hearts of many young people.

every year, master you travels around the country to give lectures to young people, spreading the wisdom of buddhism to every corner in his unique way. he said: "i just want to be that lamp, to illuminate others and warm myself."

ending, lingering sound

it is said that you benchang's life is a living "legend of jigong". he used his actions to interpret what it means to truly "save the world and save people". whenever we think of the smiling grandpa jigong, our hearts are warm, as if we can see the compassion and wisdom that transcends time and space again. this is you benchang, our "living jigong", the eternal "grandpa jigong"!
