Lu Dong Bin - Lu Dong Bin

Japanese: 呂洞賓 - りょどうひん
Lu Dong Bin - Lu Dong Bin

A Taoist priest from the Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty in China. He was called Junyōshi, Lu Zu, and Fuyou Dijun. Although his historical identity is extremely unclear, he was born in Yongle County, Shanxi Province, and is said to have been a versatile figure who relieved the suffering of the people using the "Tian Dun Sword Technique" and "Secret Elixir" that he received from the immortal Zhongli Quan. The fact that both the Quanzhen Sect and the Jingming Dao include him in their lineage of founders shows that he was extremely popular and revered among people in the early modern period as a divine immortal with the miraculous power of "Yugu Hitsuou" (wishes will surely be fulfilled).

Japanese:

中国の五代・宋(そう)初ころの道士。純陽子(じゅんようし)と号し、呂祖(りょそ)、孚佑帝君(ふゆうていくん)ともよばれる。歴史的な実像はすこぶる鮮明を欠く人物であるが、山西省永楽県に生まれ、仙人鐘離権(しょうりけん)から授かった「天遁(てんとん)剣法」と「金丹(きんたん)の秘法」を用いて、民衆の苦しみを救う変幻自在の活躍をしたと伝えられている。全真(ぜんしん)教と浄明(じょうみょう)道がそろって彼を祖師系譜のなかに組み込んでいるのも、「有求必応(ゆうぐひつおう)」(願い事はかならず満たす)の霊験をもつ神仙として、近世の人々の間に絶大な人気と信仰を集めていたことを物語るものであろう。
