Universal Practice ［普事比丘］ ( Fuji-biku): A monk depicted in the Buddha Treasury Sutra as appearing after the death of Great Adornment Buddha of the remote past and striving to lead people to that Buddha’s teachings. According to this sutra, one hundred years after the death of the Buddha Great Adornment, that Buddha’s followers split into five schools led by the monks Universal Practice, Shore of Suffering, Sawata, Shōko, and Batsunanda respectively, and only Universal Practice upheld the principle of non-substantiality that the Buddha had taught. The leaders of the four other schools, such as the monk Shore of Suffering, held erroneous views, rejecting the concept of non-substantiality and asserting that “self” truly exists. These four leading monks and their followers despised and reviled Universal Practice. For this reason, according to the Buddha Treasury Sutra, these four monks and their followers all fell into hell. (The names Sawata, Shōko, and Batsunanda are Japanese reading of the Chinese names that appear in the sutra, which themselves are phonetic transliterations of the Sanskrit names from the lost Sanskrit text. As transliterations, they carry no particular meaning and cannot be translated into English. The original Sanskrit names are unknown.)
