Chapter 545 True King Kong
“What are these two things?” Director Jiang and Gu Zhenduo were both curious: “Can they make you so happy?”
“And don’t you guys? What do you know?" Master Tenzin was even more proud.
"Speak quickly! Stop selling your plateau skills!" the master laughed and scolded.
"Hahaha..." Master Tenzin stretched out his hand and made an excuse to explain, placing the box in front of his position, making it clear that if Zhou Zhi regretted it, he would violently protect the Dharma: "The full name of this thing should be called Qibao Thangka spiritual object offering treasure letter ”
"It's a pity that this is only the outermost layer. Originally, there should be two layers of silver and gold treasures inside. The inside is the spiritual pagoda. Spiritual objects will be enshrined in the spiritual pagoda, usually the relics and relics of great virtues from previous lives."
After speaking, Heshi said: "But thangka is a mineral pigment, and the thangka outside this treasure letter is attached to the leather."
"I thought the leather was dried by heat and cold. When wet, it will shrink and swell. Over time, it will easily weather and fall off if you are not careful. It is very rare that this five-sided leather thangka can be so perfectly preserved."
"The main reason may be that it is covered with a layer of this. The tattooed leather was also coated with glue paint to create a perfect protective environment, so the five-sided thangka was preserved." Zhou Zhi thought about it and felt that it should be related.
This treasure letter may indeed have such a function, so it was used by the previous owner to store waste calligraphy, paintings and papers. According to the fourth cousin, the calligraphy and paintings became broken before being put into the box. After putting it in the box, it maintained its status. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, I have to say that this treasure letter is indeed a treasure.
Master Tenzin also nodded. He also felt that this was the case at that time, and continued: "The accessories of the treasure letter include chalcedony, beeswax, trigonellae, pearls, coral, gold, and silver. These are the treasures of Tibetan Buddhism." The "Seven Treasures of the West" originally came from the "Amitabha Sutra" translated by Kumarajiva."
"Among the seven treasures, the light and color of gold and silver both represent health and longevity. wise, pure Symbol. "
"Chalcedony is used in some classics as glass, which is the incarnation of the Medicine Buddha. It can eliminate diseases and avoid evil, persevere, inspire wisdom and bring blessings. "
“ Coral symbolizes calmness, intelligence, peace, and luck. "
"Amber can calm the mind, calm the five internal organs, brighten the mind, and calm the soul. "
"In ancient times, it was believed that clams are the whitest things in the world, and naturally represent purity and firmness."
"Pearls, whose formation process is similar to relics, naturally represent perfect enlightenment."
"It turns out that there are so many details about these decorations." Zhou Zhi had almost no knowledge in this area, but he listened with great interest.
“In the picture on the top, the Buddha in the middle has his left hand in the meditation seal and his right hand in the earth seal. This is the living Buddha Sakyamuni.”
“This is the picture on the front of the treasure letter. , holding the medicine bowl in the left hand and the plant in the right hand, it is what we just said, the chalcedony among the seven treasures is its incarnation, the Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata."
"The remaining three faces look evil, which is called the wrathful phase. The most important one is the four-armed Mahakala."
"The four-armed Mahakala has a black and blue body and one side. Four arms, three wide-open red eyes, hair rising like a calamity fire, beard and eyebrows blazing like flames, wearing a five-skull crown on his head, a half-Vajra Pestle and snake ornaments, a bloody human head as a necklace, snake bone ornaments as a solemn body, and a tiger skin skirt."
"The four arms hold a sword in the right hand, a halberd in the left hand, and a Garpa in the main arm. Pulling the bowl. He is majestic, heroic and mighty, sitting in a wishful posture, living on the lotus sun disk corpse seat, surrounded by flames like calamity. The fire is burning."
"Practice Mahakala and all Dharma protectors to avoid demonic obstacles, especially those caused by anger."
"The appearance of anger is for this reason. Surrendering one's own inner demons also means liberating and benefiting all sentient beings without fear or hesitation, which is nothing less than compassion. The manifestation of great compassion. The meaning of being invincible and invincible is that the troubles and karma have been completely eliminated. "The four-armed Mahakala captures the body, speech, and mind of all Buddhas." Merit, career, and wisdom are the protectors of those who practice the Pure Bliss Vajra Tantric Vehicle.”
“I understand.” Zhou Zhi also bowed to Vajra Heshi.
“This side is Chakrasamvara,” Master Tenzin turned the treasure letter over to one side: “Chakrasamvara, also known as Shangle Vajra, is called ‘Dengqiao’ in Tibetan, and is the supreme hidden secret. The deity of the mother tantra of Yoga is the vajra body and speech of the Buddhas of the three generations. , the basis of mind, is the collective representative of the merits of all Buddhas, and is also one of the five deities enshrined in the Tibetan Supreme Yoga practice."
"There are four forms of Chakrasamvara, and this is the one now. The four faces of the main deity are all angry, and the front is like a head Wearing a skull crown, an ankle-length necklace of skulls and heads, and turquoise and agate inlaid necklaces on the legs, the left foot is on the Brahman god Goddess of Time, the right foot is on the Hindu god Shiva, and the whole arm is holding Vajrayana. Holding a magical weapon in one arm, Vajra Haimu in one hand Holding a knife and holding a kabala bowl in one hand, he embraces the Lord's neck, with a facial expression that seems angry but not angry. The Lord's back looks like an elephant skin with arms stretched out."
"The standing posture and feet of Chakrasamvara. The lotus seat represents renunciation from the world;"
"The sun on the lotus symbolizes the universal light and omniscience;"
"The four heads represent the four causes and merits of gain, disaster relief, respect and subjugation respectively;"
"Three on each side One eye means being able to observe the past , present and future three lives;"
"The skull crown represents impermanence and bravery; the half-moon above the head represents human happiness;"
"The double diamonds above the head represent the combination of method and wisdom;"
"The tiger skin around the waist symbolizes fearlessness and bravery; the long rosary represents all Buddhist scriptures;"
"The twelve hands symbolize the method of overcoming the twelve kinds of dependent origination."
"The body of the Buddha is blue. , represents the 'qi' in the human body, and the red color of the Buddha's mother represents the 'blood' ', embracing each other represents the human body's law of 'qi and blood interdependence'."
"The feet represent the two truths of truth and secularity."
"The feet stand on the goddess of freedom and time, symbolizing being in the transcendent world. and the non-dual nirvana at the two extremes of annihilation.”
"The five skulls on the headdress represent the Buddhas of the five directions. The hand ornaments, necklaces, belts, etc. symbolize the six degrees of Taoism and the immeasurable merits of the fruition."
"Vajra Haimu, naked, symbolizes Buddhism The so-called "pure and untainted", the right hand is raised, waving the crescent knife to show Cutting off the suffering of ignorant desires."
"Wonderful..." After listening to Master Tenzin's explanation, the wrathful Vajra statue that originally looked scary became no longer scary, but instead a terrifying one. It gives rise to a bit of solemnity, a bit of compassion, and a bit of mystery. It is truly wonderful.
Master Tenzin continued to explain: “In the Supreme Yoga Tantric system, Herculean Bliss is the most important thing of the Gelug Sect. Devoting and practicing Chakrasamvara with devotion can purify the body and speech of all living beings. , the intention is to break down the karma and obtain the blessings and merits of the Buddhas. The meaning of the initiation can achieve the merits of the Buddha, reveal the wisdom of equality, and quickly realize the Buddha's own nature. "
"In the Supreme Tantra, it belongs to the mother tantra, and Shengle is also known as the supreme bliss. The king of mother tantra is the master of billions of dakinis.”
After talking about Chakrasamvara, Master Tenzin turned the treasure letter one more time: "This one is called Gushyajal Vajra."
