Abstract

This report reviews the Buddhist lineage of characters that appear in Fengshen Yanyi. Based on my research, Mojia Sijiang originates from the Buddhist Four Heavenly Kings, Hen Ha Erjiang originates from the Vajrapānis, Randeng Daoren originates from Dipankara Buddha, Jieyin Daoren originates from Amitābha Buddha, Wenshu Guanfa Tianzun originates from Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī, Puxian Zhenren originates from Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, Cihai Daoren originates from the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, and Wei Hu originates from Skanda. I found that most Buddhist characters are based on Shenxian Tongjian.
