Du Jie

Contents

Du Jie (simplified: 渡劫, traditional: 渡劫, pinyin: Dù Jié, jyutping: dou6 gip3) was one of the Three Elders of the Bodhidharma Hall, alongside Du’e and Du Nan. He was known for his white face and was one of the most senior monks of the Shaolin Order.

Biography

Three Elders

Du Jie was one of the Three Elders, the most senior monks of Shaolin’s Bodhidharma Hall. Along with Du’e and Du Nan, he had spent over thirty years in seclusion practicing withered meditation (枯禅), developing the ability to communicate through mental connection and perfecting the Diamond Vajra Array (金刚伏魔圈).

Guarding Xie Xun

When Xie Xun was captured and brought to Shaolin, the Three Elders were tasked with guarding him. They used the Diamond Vajra Array, a formation that required perfect coordination between the three monks, to prevent anyone from rescuing Xie Xun.

Battles with Zhang Wuji

During Zhang Wuji’s attempts to rescue Xie Xun, Du Jie fought alongside his fellow elders. In the second battle, when Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng joined Zhang Wuji, Du Jie faced two opponents. Yang Xiao used the Sacred Fire Command as a hidden weapon against Du Jie, nearly breaking through the formation, but Du’e intervened to maintain the Diamond Vajra Array.

Appearance

Du Jie was described as having a white face (白脸), distinguishing him from Du Nan’s black face and Du’e’s yellow, one-eyed appearance.

Personality and traits

Du Jie was a highly skilled martial artist, though slightly inferior to his senior brother Du’e. Like Du Nan, he was said to be more concerned with victory and defeat than Du’e, which prevented the Diamond Vajra Array from reaching its full potential, as it required the practitioners to transcend the “four marks” (无我相、无人相、无众生相、无寿者相) of Buddhist philosophy.
