The Buddhist “n(?)ga” is one of the Eight Dharma-Protecting Gods,whose influence is second only to the “dava” in the Buddhist Eight Dharma-Protecting Gods.In this paper,the content of “n(?)ga” in the Mandarin Tripitaka is taken as the object of study,the source of the Buddhist“n(?)ga ”,the construction of the divine power of the Buddhist “n(?)ga” and the sinicization of the Buddhist “n(?)ga” are systematically studied.To study the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,we should do three levels of work.The first is to extract all the important contents related to the Buddhist“n(?)ga” in the Mandarin Tripitaka,and the second is to collect the ancient Indian literature and the ancient Chinese literature related to the Buddhist “n(?)ga” The third is to look for the current academic research on the Buddhist “n(?)ga” results.Through the above-mentioned on the Buddhist “n(?)ga” content more comprehensive data collection,and then on the Buddhist “n(?)ga” source,the construction and sinicization of God to carry out research.First of all,the source of the Buddhist “n(?)ga” research.According to the research,there are two sources of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,which are the initial source and the direct source.The so-called original source,refers to the formation of Buddhism,the history of India culture into the Buddhist process.The so-called direct source,refers to Buddhism in a certain area after the absorption of local culture process.The author believes that the original origin of the Buddhist “n(?)ga” comes from the belief of n(?)ga,the belief of serpent god and the belief of Elephant God in History of India.As for the direct source of the Buddhist “n(?)ga”,the author thinks that it comes from two sources,one is influenced by the“Chinese LONG” and the other by the“Taoist LONG”.Secondly,for the Buddhist “n(?)ga” God energy construction research.Divine construction refers to the Buddhist assumption of all things“n(?)ga”.It includes the types of the Buddhist “n(?)ga”,the causes of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the commandments of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the functions of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the divinity of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the retribution of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the appearance of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the way to subdue the“n(?)ga”,the habitat of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the breeding mode of the Buddhist “n(?)ga”,the life span of the Buddhist “n(?)ga”,the diet of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the wealth of the Buddhist“n(?)ga” and the status of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”.Through the content of“n(?)ga” in the Mandarin Tripitaka and the deficiency of previous studies,the author supplements the construction of the divine power of the Buddhist “n(?)ga”.Finally,for the Buddhist“n(?)ga” chinization of the process of research.Through the study of the construction of the LONG’s divine energy in the Tibetan sutra,we can find that the construction of the LONG’s divine energy has changed after it was introduced into China.These changes can be reflected in the types of Buddhist “n(?)ga” changes,changes in divinity,professional changes,changes in appearance,status changes,changes in pain and changes in the definition.Through these changes,the author analyzes the reasons for the change and thinks that there are four reasons for the sinicization of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,second,the translator’s self-understanding in the process of translating Buddhist sutras,third,the influence of dragon culture in ancient Chinese classics,and fourth,the influence of local beliefs and folklore.These reasons prompted the Buddhist “n(?)ga” in China.In addition,the introduction of the Buddhist “n(?)ga” has a certain impact on our culture,which can be reflected in the“LONG” culture of our country and the impact on the field of literature and art.The influence on our country’s“LONG” culture is mainly embodied in the influence on the construction of our ancient“LONG” divine energy,the influence on the field of literature and art,mainly reflected in the field of literature and art for our country to add material.In short,through the study of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,we can clearly see the source of the Buddhist“n(?)ga”,the construction of divine energy and the process of Chinese.
