In Grandmaster's Book 145, Grandmaster says Shan-Guang Fo (Virtuous Light Buddha--my translation) is Wenchang Dijun who has become Buddha.

Wenchang Dijun is traditionally associated with Taoism, and the name is known to represent the overall name of the six heavenly stars..

Usually parents pray to Wenchang Dijun so that their children will be clever in their studies..In ancient times, he is known as the Protector of scholars in the Imperial Exams...

Shan-Guang Fo asked Grandmaster to write Book 145 and Book 152 -- about the importance of abstaining from sexual
misconduct.

In the prelude to Book 145, Shan-Guang Fo said that civilisation may have improved, but the presence of vituous light (virtue) is almost none. He saw the situation, and didn't want people to fall into the lower realms. Hence, Shan-Guang Fo asked Grandmaster to use his specialty -- writing -- to write a book to save people, to wake them up and stop them from indulging in sexual desires...

in Book 152, Shan-Guang Fo again asked Grandmaster to write about the pitfalls of sexual misconduct, the reason being that "people are forgetful.."

So much compassion...Grandmaster said he is very touched by Shan-Guang Fo!

:)

Then in Book 155, Grandmaster asked Shan-Guang Fo about the virtue of donating books to libraries, and Shan-GUang Fo was full of praise! Shan-Guang Fo especially mentioned Book 145 and 152...
