What is Brahmin?
Brahmin had many meanings. In the caste system of ancient India, Brahmins were one of the four castes, representing the sacrificial class and the highest class of Indian society. Most of them were priests and scholars, enjoying many privileges and having great political power. They were the makers and practitioners of the four stages of life in India. They worshipped the gods and practiced vegetarian food, constructing the vegetarian tradition in India. However, the caste system they established and strengthened made the lower class people of India suffer from class oppression and discrimination. They also monopolized knowledge to fool the lower class people, used miracles and superstitions to amass money, and acquiesced to the custom of widow burial. In the context of Brahminism (the predecessor of Buddhism), Brahmin meant "purity" and was considered to be the descendants of "primitive people". They monopolized knowledge, and priests (people of the Brahmin class) were regarded as the intermediary between man and God, and had a high status in Brahminism. In India, zebu were also considered equivalent to Brahmins (according to an analogy of the caste system). In addition, there was also information that mentioned that Brahmin was a king in history.

Shakyamuni and the Witch
When Shakyamuni was about to become Buddha, the auspicious light rushed to the demonic palace of the demon of death and desire. The demon king Boxun wanted to prevent him from completing the Buddha fruit, so he ordered the three witches (Terrisna (love), Rodi (pleasure), and Raka (greed)) to bewitch him. They were dressed up and came to Shakyamuni to flatter him, but Shakyamuni was so calm that he turned a blind eye. The witch refused to give up and tried her best to be alluring. Shakyamuni admonished them,"Although your bodies are good, your hearts are not upright. You are like exquisite glass bottles that store feces. You don't know shame. Do you still dare to deceive others?" He also used his magic power to let the witch see her own evil state (skeleton bones, skin wrapped with tendons, pus sac saliva, ugly and vulgar). The witch was ashamed and fled. Master Xingyun also mentioned that the Demon King had three beautiful daughters (Yuran, Nengyue, and Kailue) who were good at seducing others, but he did not mention the details of their seduction of Sakyamuni.

Buddha Shakyamuni
Shakyamuni Buddha was the founder of Buddhism. His surname was Gautama and his name was Siddhartha. "Shakyamuni" was the honorific title that Buddhists gave him. Sakyamuni meant "Neng", while Muni meant "Ren","Ru","Ren","Ji". Together, they meant "Neng Ren","Neng Ru","Neng Ren","Neng Ji", etc., which meant "Sage" of the Sakyamuni clan. He was born in ancient India 3,000 years ago. Before his death, he was a Bodhisattva who lived in the Inner Court of Tushita. After his karma matured, he was born in the Kingdom of Kamilavata. His father was King Jingfan and his mother was Queen Mahamaya. The process of his birth was full of magical colors. According to the classics, the Buddha rode a six-toothed white elephant with a white lotus flower in its mouth. It entered the fetus from the left rib of Madam Maya and stayed in the fetus for ten months. Madam Maya returned to her mother's house to give birth. She passed by Lumbini Garden and gave birth to Prince Siddhartha under the Worry-free Tree. The prince came out from Madam Maya's right rib and could walk on the ground. He walked seven steps in a circle and lotus flowers appeared at each step. He looked around and pointed to the sky and the ground with one finger." I am the only one in the sky and the earth." Shakyamuni Buddha did not like life in the palace. Seeing the suffering in the world, he decided to become a monk to find a way to save the suffering in the world. He had visited a famous teacher and lived a poor life of begging with five cultivators for six years. Later, his body became thin, his willpower almost collapsed, and he had yet to realize it, so he stopped this cultivation method. He came to the Nillian Zen River to wash away the filth and accept the milk porridge provided by the shepherd girl to recover his strength and resume his cultivation. The five cultivators thought that he had given up and left him. He sat cross-legged under the Bibolo tree alone and thought hard. At the age of 35, he became a Buddha. When he was 80 years old, he was reborn on the 15th day of the second month of the lunar calendar. There were a few important anniversaries in his life. The 8th of the 4th month of the lunar calendar was Sakyamuni Buddha's Christmas Day, the 8th of the 2nd month of the lunar calendar was the day of becoming a monk, and the 8th of the 12th month of the lunar calendar was the day of enlightenment.

Shakyamuni Karma
Shakyamuni believed that karma was the basic factor of existence in the world. The Buddhist cause and effect logic he proposed was meticulous. For example, the cause of trouble could be emotional, physical condition, career or work difficulties, family or relationship problems, etc. In Buddhism, there are twelve causes and conditions, which are the conditions to produce the laws of objective things. From a Buddhist point of view, if one wanted to achieve a perfect result, one had to work hard on the conditions (causes) that contributed to the result. If the conditions were not ripe, the result would not be perfect. Bodhisattvas practice in the land of cause, and sentient beings are enlightened in the land of effect, but fixed karma (the basic condition that has contributed to adverse consequences) is difficult to change. He also pointed out that there were two kinds of karma. One was the internal karma of reincarnation, and the other was the external karma. The person who attained Nirvana had already cut off the inner troubles and karma, and was no longer bound by samsara. However, the external karma would still appear due to past actions. Even if he had transcended samsara and cut off all troubles, the karma formed in the past would still appear in the present. For example, the illnesses in his later years were the karma caused by past karma. He also believed that all phenomena were caused by karma, and that each phenomenon was formed by a combination of many factors. There was no phenomenon that existed in isolation.

Shakyamuni received the Taoist
In the evolution of myths, there was a saying that Shakyamuni was the reincarnation of the Taoist with many treasures. After receiving the enlightenment of the Taoist, he entered the Western Sect and cultivated the golden body of 16 feet in Hezhou, Tianzhu, Lingshan, and Jiefeng in the West Bull, and finally became the Tathagata Buddha (Shakyamuni Buddha). The Greeting Daoist was later conferred the title of Greeting Buddha. It should be noted that this was based on the relevant content in the evolution of mythological stories.

Shakyamuni Buddha Karma
Shakyamuni put forward the idea of karma. He believed that people kept reincarnating because they were obsessed with themselves and the material world, which led to the effect of karma. This included the concept of karma. Under the system of karma, people's actions (karma) would produce corresponding results. Good karma would have good results, and bad karma would have bad results. This causality affected people's situation in the cycle of life and death. For example, if a person often did evil things, under this concept, he would bear the corresponding bad results. Moreover, Shakyamuni advocated to get rid of the bitter sea of reincarnation through cultivation and enlightenment, so that he would no longer be bound by karma and achieve nirvana and liberation.

Shakyamuni Buddha Karma
Shakyamuni Buddha preached the principle of karma. He pointed out that happiness and pain in real life were caused by two kinds of karma. One was near karma (karma that happened recently), and the other was distant karma (karma that happened in the distant past). The combination of distant karma and near karma would produce results, which was karma. In Buddhism, karma was a part of its teachings. For example,"No matter who you meet, he is the person who should appear in your life. It is not a coincidence. He will definitely teach you something." At the same time, Buddhism's karma was from a personal point of view, connecting the present with the future and the past. This was also the core doctrine of Buddhism.

Vairocana and Shakyamuni Buddha
Mahavairocana, which could be translated as Vairocana Buddha, was one of the three bodies of Shakyamuni Buddha and one of the Buddhas of the Five Directions. In Chinese translation, there were names such as Maha Vairocana, Vairocana, Everywhere, and Light. Maha-Vairocana was the Buddha at the center of the Tantra world. He was the Dharmakaya of all Buddhas, which was also the true body of the Buddha's nature. He represented the absolute truth. In the two secret teachings of the Realm of Embryos and the Realm of Vajra, Dharmakaya was the Tathagata. In the Realm of Embryos, it represented the body and was called Vairocana Buddha. In the Realm of Vajra, it represented wisdom and was called Vairocana. Vairocana Buddha was the Buddha of the Saha World, which was also Shakyamuni. It was reflected in some classics such as the Tang Dynasty's translation of the Eighty Hua Yan Sutra. It could be said that in the Sanskrit version of the Hua Yan Sutra, Vairocana and Sakyamuni could be used interchanged. Master Jiaxiang Jizang explained in "Hua Yan You Yi" that Buddha Lushena was the title of Sakyamuni. Mahavairocana had two forms, the Buddha outfit and the Bodhisattva outfit. He was the supreme leader of the esoteric cult. He, together with the eastern Amitabha Buddha, the western Amitabha Buddha, the southern Baosheng Buddha, and the northern Amoghasiddhi Buddha, formed the Tantra Five-Way Buddha.
