The Hall of Sangharama Palace is an important building in Han ChineseBuddhist temples.[1] It is the east annex hall of the Mahavira Hall.[1] The term "Sangharama" (僧伽藍摩) refers to "gardens of monks" (眾園).[1] In Buddhism, it originally refers to constructing the base of monks' dormitories (僧舍) and later it refers to the general term of temples, including land and buildings.[1][2][3]
In the Hall of Sangharama Palace, King Pasenadi, Prince Jeta and Anathapindika are enshrined.[1] They created the grand Jetavana Vihara (祇園精舍) for the Buddha to live and preach, which was a significant contribution to the creation and spread of Buddhism.[1] So they were regarded as Sangharama God, namely the guardian of the land.[1][2][3]
Chinaedit
In Chinese Buddhism, general Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period (220–280) is often enshrined in the Hall of Sangharama Palace.[1] It is recorded that in the Sui dynasty (581–618), when the founder of the Tiantai school, master Zhiyi was in Yuquan Mountain in Jingzhou, Hubei, he saw many strange monsters.[1] A deity with long beard who claimed to be Guan Yu appeared and talked to him.[1] Zhiyi preached Buddha Dharma to him, which moved him and he finally devoted himself to Buddhism and became the Dharmapalas of Buddha.[1] Including Guan Yu as Dharmapalas of Buddha promoted the spread of Buddhism in China.[1][2][3]
