唐朝末期，武宗灭佛，佛教各宗派衰弱，唐密大成就者琪真性海上师隐在深山，法身应化传承唐密法种，度法界有缘众生及世间具有福慧资粮、佛性、智慧、根器之仁者。唐密的法身应化传承，外界无从知晓，历代皇室皆敬重唐密并秘密信奉，而皇家誓守三昧，对心密法仪总持严加封闭，禁密外传，故民间难窥其真容。 画面描绘了琪真性海隐入深山观修禅定的场景。


Qizhenxinghai — Lineage Master of Sino Esoteric Buddhism
Creator: Vajra Master Jinke Xuanlei and Disciples
Year: 2014 (Year of Wood Horse)
Dimensions: 70cm x 138cm
Material: Ink and color on silk

During the late Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong’s Great Anti-Buddhist Persecution severely weakened Buddhism across China. Many assumed that Sino Esoteric Buddhism had faded away during this period, but in reality, it retreated into remote mountains where its lineage continued through secret transmissions.

Master Qizhen Xinghai, one of the great achievers of Sino Esoteric Buddhism, is an enlightened master in this hidden lineage. In seclusion, he embodied the Dharmakāya and transmitted the profound teachings of Sino Esoteric Buddhism. His life was devoted to guiding sentient beings across both Dharma and worldly realms—those endowed with spiritual virtues, wisdom, and readiness to receive the teachings.

This painting captures Master Qizhen Xinghai in tranquil meditation amidst a secluded mountain setting. The composition reflects his unwavering dedication to the Dharma during a time of great adversity. His serene posture symbolizes the resilience of Sino Esoteric Buddhism and its enduring mission to liberate beings with karmic connections. 

The composition skillfully integrates elements of the natural and spiritual worlds, symbolizing the continuation of the esoteric lineage during times of adversity. The leopard and hare in the foreground represent harmony between strength and gentleness, echoing the Buddhist principle of coexistence and balance. The vibrant brushstrokes of the foliage and mountains in the background create a sense of timelessness. Above the Master, celestial beings and auspicious symbols suggest divine guardianship and the spiritual energy that emanates from his meditative practice. The painting reflects not only the solitude of Master Qizhen Xinghai’s retreat but also his profound mission to preserve the Dharma and enlighten all sentient beings.
