Chapter 546 Illustrated Book
“Dense has the meaning of secret. The word ‘intense’ is interpreted as Dharma intention in the Secret Vajra Warriors Association of Baoji Sutra. When the prince becomes a Buddha, he will be regarded as a Vajra Warrior. Always be close to the Buddha, observe the majesty of the outside world, and observe the Tathagata Keep a close eye on the secrets, always rely on them, listen to all the secrets of the Buddhas, believe and be happy, and have no doubts about knots.”
“Because of this, in Tibetan Buddhism, especially in Tibetan Buddhism, The teachings of the Lu Sect attach great importance to the contemplation and practice of Guhyasamadhi.”< br>
Master Tenzin also explained in detail the symbolic meaning of the wrathful body image of Gushyajal Vajra and the symbolic meaning of many magical instruments and accessories. After finishing the explanation, he said: "It is also said that Gushyajal Vajra comes from the East among the five Buddhas of Tantric Buddhism. It evolved from the incarnation of the Buddha, In the teachings of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, it is said that Gyalshka is also the patron saint of Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug Sect. "
"Perhaps some of you recognize this third one?" Tenzin. The master turned the last thangka to face everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads to show that they didn't know each other.
Master Tenzin could only sigh: "This is one of the tantric deities. Because it can subdue demons, it is called great power, and it has the power to protect good, so it is also called great virtue. Yamantaka Vajra "
The body of Yamantaka is blue, with nine heads, thirty-four arms, and sixteen legs. Each part has its own symbolic meaning. He holds a sword in his right hand, a halberd in his left hand, and a karma in his main arm. Bala Bowl.
However, the most incredible thing is that King Ming himself represents compassion, and Concubine Ming in his arms represents wisdom. Their combination represents the "unity of compassion and wisdom". According to Tibetan Tantric theory, it turns out to be the wrathful aspect of Manjushri Bodhisattva. .
After explaining all this, Master Tenzin explained: "Hermitage, density, and mighty virtue are called the 'three deities' of the Gelug Sect. Therefore, this thing is obvious. A letter used by the Gelug sect to store spiritual objects.”
After listening to Master Tenzin’s explanation, Zhou Zhi couldn’t help but feel very ashamed: “Thank you, Master, for clarifying our doubts. It turns out that the fear brought by the unknown is often just a sign of ignorance. The wrathful appearance of Vajra may seem terrifying, but in fact, the characteristics of each phase are , all contain the profound meaning of Buddhism, and I was really ignorant before."
"Yes." Master Tenzin also sighed: "The wrath and terror of the diamond phase are also to suppress evil, evil, and filth, and to protect people's hearts. There are too few people, so the Tibetan Tripitaka is collated and edited. There is no time to wait for the release!"
"That's true." Zhou Zhi nodded: "Sending the treasure letter to Shu University is indeed more meaningful than leaving it with us. After all, there are masters here who can study and interpret it. ”
"But the importance of this treasure letter is far less than these two pieces of leather." Tenzin stood up, and after doing a gentle courtesy to the leathers on the table, he explained: First of all, I want to confirm to everyone One thing, the boy, girl and baby above are indeed tattoos. "
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and clasped his hands together: "This is a supreme merit. This is a masterpiece left by the famous doctors in our history, Biji Zambahirahan and Dong Songgangwa. ——The lost "Corpse Illustrated Book"! ”
"This is... an anatomy diagram!" Zhou Zhi understood this time, turned around and shook his head with a bitter smile. Such... prejudice is really terrifying.
When Zhou Zhi first saw the patterns on the leather, the first thing he thought of was some kind of sorcery, but it turned out to be ancient medical patterns.
Looking at it now, it turns out that it is not only a medical illustration, but also a very scientific and brilliant medical illustration. "As long as we are human, we must fight against diseases. The medical skill of eliminating disasters and diseases for patients is the pursuit of all ethnic groups."
"Hehan medicine originated from divination The same, Tibetan medicine is also the same According to "XZ Wangtong Ji", during the Budai Gongjiezampu period in 1 BC, there was a witch doctor named Nang Xin Bai Tuo Jian, who used divination to summon blessings, prayed to gods and begged for medicine, and helped a man named Chu Xin. Hundreds of people in the village have saved themselves from disasters and illnesses.”
"With the continuous improvement of social productivity, there are gradually more ways to deal with diseases. According to Desi Sangye Gyatso's records in "History of Tibetan Medicine": Around the fourth century AD, people in Tibet were already able to use He smeared wounds with butter juice, tied veins to treat bleeding, used the lees left over from highland barley brewing to treat wounds, and also knew the benefits and harms of diet.”
“After Langri Songtsan and Songtsen Gampo unified Tibet, they began to absorb the advanced culture of the Central Plains, including medical knowledge, and Tibetan medicine began its first historical leap.
“In 581 AD, Songtsen Gampo unified the tribes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and established a unified Tubo dynasty, and Tibet began to enter a slave society. Songtsen Gampo worked hard to establish a self-contained political, military and legal system. More importantly, he created his own writing. Since then, there has been a history recorded in writing, which has led to a rapid development of Tibetan culture. "
"In 641, Songtsan Gampo proposed marriage to the Tang Dynasty and was approved, and Princess Wencheng entered Tibet. , it comes with "one hundred kinds of medical prescriptions to treat 404 diseases, five kinds of diagnostic methods, six kinds of medical equipment, and four kinds of medical treatises". This is the first record of the Tubo Dynasty accepting a large amount of foreign medicine. "
"These medical works were translated into the Tibetan "Medical Canon" by the Han medical monk Datian and the Tibetan translator Dama Guosha. This is the first known medical monograph in Tibetan medicine. Unfortunately, this The book is no longer extant. ”
"In addition to Han, some of the doctors invited by the Tubo Dynasty also came from India and China. "History of Tibetan Medicine" records that the three doctors who entered Tibet were named Baladaza, Galeno and Hengwenheide. These are not them. The three of them each dedicated their own works to the king of Tibet. The Indian doctor wrote "New Ghee Prescriptions" and the great food doctor wrote "Major Anthology." Supplement", while the Chinese medicine practitioners from the mainland wrote "The Treatment of Miscellaneous Diseases in Han". Later, the three of them co-authored a comprehensive medical book called "The Fearless Weapon". The book consists of seven volumes, covering medicine from three different sources. This is the second Tibetan medical work after the "Classification of Medicine". "Although this book has been lost one after another. It undoubtedly had an important impact on the early development of Tibetan medicine. "
"In the early eighth century, the Tibetan king Tride Zuzan also proposed to the Tang Dynasty in 710, and the Tang Dynasty married the Tibetan king with Princess Jincheng. . When Princess Jincheng entered Tibet, she also brought a large number of "artists" and various works, including doctors and medical works."
"These medical works have been praised. Later, the Chinese medical monk Mahayan and the famous Tibetan translator Vairocana compiled the manuscript into the book "Moon King Medicine"
" It is our earliest existing ancient text on Tibetan medicine, which reflects the Tibetan people’s rich experience in fighting diseases and absorbs the advanced experience and technology of other ethnic groups’ medicine.”
"Around the eighth century, the Tibetan king Tride Zutsen and later Trisong Detsen invited famous doctors from neighboring countries and regions to XZ for exchanges. They compiled and translated a large number of medical books."
"The most famous doctor It was Biji Zambahirahan, a famous doctor in Khotan. He translated books such as "The Illustrated Book of Corpses", "The Treasure Book of Manna", "The Essence of Miscellaneous Diseases" ", "Bloodletting Iron Lotus", "The Secret of Pulse Diagnosis in Han Dynasty", "Health Preservation Crystal String" and other medical history books. Before returning to China, he selected some of his various medical works and compiled them into "Yellow Biji Sutra". ", later renamed "The Sutra of Provoking the King Longevity", dedicated to Trisong Dezan"
