Turtle (legendary creature) Tortoise (mythology) Four Intelligents or Four Intelligent Creatures

Tortoise (legendary creature) The tortoise or turtle is a creature with an extensive history in East Asian religion, mythology and legend.

The turtle is a symbol of longevity and is thus paired with the crane. The Chinese axiom 龜齡鶴壽 refers to this. The Huainanzi claims that a tortoise lives for one-thousand years. The Lunheng claims that when a tortoise is three hundred years old, it is as big as a cash and walks on lotus leaves. At the age of three thousand, it has a green edge and it measures one foot and two inches. According to the Tales of Strange Matters 述異記 compiled by Ren Fang 任昉,a tortoise that has lived for one thousand years has grown hair,a five thousand year old tortoise is called 神龜 (Shénguī, god tortoise) and a ten thousand year old is called 靈龜 (Língguī, spiritual tortoise). The latter term often refers to the tortoise among the four intelligent beasts 四靈.

Glossary of Buddhism

The Abhidharma Nyāyānusāra Śāstra or the Nyāyānusāriṇī is a treatise written by Buddhist monk and scholar Saṃghabhadra.

It has been translated into Chinese by Xuangzang, and is found in the Taishō Tripiṭaka, Vol. 29, No. 1562.

The text is largely a response to the Abhidharmakośakārikā, in which Vasubandhu expresses a critical view of Sarvāstivāda doctrine.

Buddhism edit

Buddhist literature provides a similar example of the black dog figure.

In the Mahākanha Jātaka of the Pali Canon, the Buddha relays a story about how the god Śakra, king of Trāyastriṃśa, transformed his charioteer Mātalī into a ravenous black dog named Mahākanha (lit. Big-black) in order to frighten human beings into abstaining from evil.

It is told that when virtue decays in the human world, Sakra will send Mahākanha against certain types of people. In the form of a huntsman, he reveals these types in prose.[1]

When the false Brethren, bowl in hand, in one robe clad, shall choose

Tonsured the plough to follow, then the Black Hound I will loose.

When Sisters of the Order shall in single robe be found,

Tonsured, yet walking in the world, I will let loose the Hound.

What time ascetics, usurers, protruding the upper lip,

Foul-toothed and filthy-haired shall be—the Black Hound I'll let slip.

When brahmins, skilled in sacred books and holy rites, shall use

Their skill to sacrifice for pelf, the Black Hound shall go loose.

Whoso his parents now grown old, their youth now come to an end,

Would not maintain, although he might, gainst him the Hound I'll send.

Who to his parents now grown old, their youth now come to an end,

Cries, Fools are ye! gainst such as he the Black Hound I will send.

When men go after others' wives, of teacher, or of friend,

Sister of father, uncle's wife, the Black Hound I will send.

When shield on shoulder, sword in hand, full-armed as highway men

They take the road to kill and rob, I'll loose the Black Hound then.

When widows' sons, with skin groomed white, in skill all useless found,

Strong-armed, shall quarrel and shall fight, then I will loose the Hound.

When men with hearts of evil full, false and deceitful men,

Walk in and out the world about, I'll loose the Black Hound then."

Mahākanha's bark is said to be one of three sounds that can be heard throughout the human world.
