At the end of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, the 24-year-old Prince Jin Qiaojue of Silla (now South Korea) saw through the world of mortals and took a white dog to China to get a haircut and become a monk. The white dog bumps along with Jin Qiaoxuan, and is very happy for Jiuhua. In the 75-year penance with * * *, White Dog and Jin Qiaojue stayed with each other day and night, which made them turn around everywhere. In the tenth year of Zhenyuan (794), Jin Qiaojue sat down on July 30th of the lunar calendar, and the white dog rested with him. Three years later, Jin Qiaojue's body was opened, his face was as fresh as life, and his bones were as golden locks. The Buddhist scripture says, "A bodhisattva hooks and locks, and a hundred skeletons sing!" Everyone sighed for Jin Qiaojue: Jin Qiaojue is the embodiment of the Tibetan Bodhisattva, so he built a temple and invited the white dog to sacrifice. Jin Qiaojue was recognized by Buddhists as an adaptation of the Bodhisattva Diksitigarbha, which is called Jindizang. This divine dog is also honored as a divine dog by Buddhism, because it is a token, pet and protected object of Jin Qiaojue. Later generations are more interested in listening to Buddhism, understanding human nature and avoiding evil spirits, which is regarded as a symbol of good luck.
