Chapter 471: Is this sending a child to the Buddha unseemly or are we too obscene?(1/3)
After Jin An finished speaking, he reached out and took out the Buddha statue.
As a result, the big eyes stared at the small eyes for a long time.
I can’t tell what kind of Buddha this is.
On the contrary, we found many scriptures engraved on the back of the Buddha statue.
But the key point is that they don’t understand the scriptures.
Although he couldn't understand the scriptures, Jin An thought about it carefully and felt that this thing looked familiar.
“Buddha amulet?” Jin An was surprised.
Buddha statue from the front.
The back is a prayer scripture or a scripture to save the souls of the dead.
Isn’t this an enlarged version of the Buddha amulet?
It’s just that this amulet is a bit too big!
“This is a scripture in Tubo language.” Mr. Yiyun was so knowledgeable that he could spot the clues of this naked Buddha statue at a glance.
“Mr. Yiyun, can you understand the scripture above?” Jin An beamed with joy and directly handed the naked Buddha statue in his hand to the other party.
After Master Yiyun took over the naked Buddha statue, he did not immediately translate the scriptures, but looked at them up and down: "The scriptures behind the Buddha statue are indeed in Tubo script. This should be the Tsa Tsa Buddha from Tubo, but it is different from Tubo.
Tsa Tsa Buddha seems to be a Tsa Tsa Buddha that has been artificially modified."
“Tubo has experienced several major turning points in history. Could it be that the Buddhists here are one of the believers who escaped from Tubo?”
When talking about this, Mr. Yiyun frowned: "Is this a branch that escaped from Tubo? Why is this Tsa Tsa Buddha different from the Tsa Tsa Buddha I have seen several times? Unless I can find it in the Buddhist kingdom
The answer can only be found through the ancient scriptures and scrolls that are still left."
Jin An suddenly realized that it was indeed a large Buddha amulet! He had indeed seen it right from the beginning!
Although Buddhist amulets are popular in Southeast Asia, the Tsa Tsa Buddha originated from Tubo. The Tsa Tsa Buddha was very large and was not convenient for monks to carry and pray during the war years. Therefore, amulets were developed that were easy to wear around the neck.
Essentially speaking, there is no essential difference between the Buddha amulet and the Tsa Tsa Buddha. They both have the Buddha face on the front and the scriptures blessed by the eminent monks of the temple on the back.
It’s just a simplified version, a full version with amplified power.
Because the Tsa Tsa Buddha in front of him had been artificially altered and was still a naked Buddha, he did not think about it for a moment. But after Mr. Yiyun reminded him, he immediately recognized it because he had seen Tsa Tsa Buddha before.
“Then what does the above scripture mean?” Jin An asked curiously.
Mr. Yiyun glanced at the scriptures on the back of the Buddha statue that were blessed by eminent monks, and then put it back into the shrine without thinking: "This young monk is a son of the Buddha, and this is the Buddha who sent his son."
«
Jin'an: "I have only heard of the Guanyin Avalokitesvara. What is the method of sending a child to the Buddha?"
Regardless of whether it was the naked Buddha or the Buddha giving away his son, Master Yiyun looked calm throughout the whole process. He was a gentleman and magnanimous. His actions were worthy of others and his heart was worthy of his heart. She calmly asked back: "Taoist Master Jin'an, do you think the Bodhisattva is a boy or a boy?"
female?"
Jin An was startled when he heard the words, and immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words.
He is in trouble.
Thousands of people look at the Buddha, and the Buddha has thousands of faces.
All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such.
Mr. Yiyun asked a simple rhetorical question, but it revealed Buddhist philosophy.
The three Aiyimaiti people on the side were once again confused by the riddle-like exchange between Jin An and Mr. Yiyun. However, the biggest advantage of the three of them was to ask questions when they didn't understand. The three of them asked a little dazedly: "What do you mean?"
?Why if thousands of people look at the Buddha, the Buddha will have thousands of faces?"
Jin An gave a general summary of his own understanding: Thousands of rivers and thousands of waters, thousands of waters and one month, thousands of people see the Buddha, the Buddha has thousands of faces, the Buddha has no appearance, and has all the appearances of living beings, good people see the Buddha as a good Buddha
, Evil people see the Buddha as an angry-eyed Vajra, and people with obsessions see the Buddha as a compassionate Buddha...
The three of them were still confused this time.
On the other hand, Mr. Yiyun nodded slightly to him, indicating that he agreed with his interpretation.
Ai Maimaiti was confused when he heard this: "Taoist Master Jin'an, you said that good and evil people see Buddha differently, but we see that this little monk is indeed naked, so is it that this Buddha who gives birth to a child is not serious or are we?"
Too obscene?"
Mr. Yiyun: "?"
Jin'an: "?"
Do you understand the Buddha's words so well? Who are you scolding for being too obscene?
Vulgar!
It seems that I have no chance to have wisdom in this life!
Fortunately, Jin An was thick-skinned and calmly said: "The monk who made this Tsa Tsa Buddha is not normal."
Seeing that these people were very interested in Chinese and Buddhist language and wanted to continue asking questions, Jin An coughed and changed the subject: "Master Yiyun, you just said that this Tsa Tsa Buddha has been artificially altered. What happened?
thing?"
Mr. Yiyun: "The purpose of Tsa Tsa Buddha in Buddhism is to accumulate good deeds and merits, to ward off disasters and pray for blessings. It is usually made of clay, plain clay, clay gold, etc., and it is also used by great masters or ancestors, parents, relatives and friends.
His ashes were mixed with clay and shaped into a Tsa Tsa Buddha."
“Depending on the different clay materials used, the Tsa Tsa Buddhas produced are also very different. For example, the most common one is the clay Tsa Tsa Buddha. There are ordinary mud Tsa Tsa Buddhas, and there are also slightly better mud Tsa Tsa Buddhas with incense and ash added.”
"On top of the mud Buddha is the bone Buddha. It is not difficult to understand. The bones of the deceased monks or the bones of relatives and friends are cremated into ashes and mixed into the mud to make the bone Buddha. Because they have received the blessings of the monks' Dharma or the blessings of their ancestors and parents.
It is blessed by Ze, so people who have the bone rubbing Buddha can ward off evil, ward off disasters and eliminate misfortune.”
"Further up is the Bucha Buddha. The cloth here is not the cloth we often call cloth, but the pronunciation of 'dharma body, golden body' in Tubo language, which means the golden body of the eminent monk after his death.
After a series of tedious processes, the Tsa Tsa Buddha is made by mixing it with soil. It is said that people who wear the Tsa Tsa Buddha with their bodies can be protected from all diseases and poisons, and can be safe and invulnerable. If the Tsa Tsa Buddha is said to be passively blocked
Today, the Bucha Buddha can actively protect people from disasters, which is even more powerful than the amulets we often say. Wearing a Bucha Buddha is equivalent to having life protection."
"In addition, there are also some rare medicinal Tsa Buddhas, named Tsa Tsa Buddha, gold Tsa Buddha, silver Tsa Buddha... which are Tsa Tsa Buddhas made of precious medicinal materials, and are made from the hands of historical celebrities or everyone.
Tsa Tsa Buddha made of calligraphy and painting, and Tsa Tsa Buddha made of gold or silver are rare. The most common ones are clay Tsa Buddha, bone Tsa Buddha, and cloth Tsa Buddha."
Mr. Yiyun: "The size of this Tsa Tsa Buddha is a bit wrong. It is a bit smaller than some of the authentic Tsa Tsa Buddhas I have seen in the past few years. It does not seem to be orthodox."
"The difference can also be seen through the details of some pictures and text carvings. The authentic Tsa Tsa Buddha is used to pray to the Buddha, so the Prajna Sutra and mantras, six-character mantras, etc. will be supplemented around the Buddha statue, but around this
The scriptures surrounding the Buddha do not belong to any orthodox Buddhist scriptures, 'Xi Xuan (xuān)...Ban Xu (xuān) Luo...'"
But before Mr. Yiyun finished reading, the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped. A feeling of heart palpitations and oppression came from above his head, which made Jin An look up in shock.
They did not see a ferocious human head staring at them as they imagined.
There was nothing above my head.
As Young Master Yiyun stopped reciting the incantation, the palpitation and oppression in his heart also disappeared. Jin An and Young Master Yiyun frowned deeply in thought.
That feeling just now was not a good experience.
That is an evil thought.
For a moment, Jin An was so shocked that goosebumps broke out all over his body.
It is an instinctive harbinger of danger.
On the contrary, the three people of Ayimaimaiti who had lower cultivation level, their sixth sense was not as sharp as the two of them, so they were completely unaware of it.
Sometimes it is a blessing to be naive and ignorant, not knowing that a disaster is coming.
Click!
There was a crisp sound in the house.
As Young Master Yiyun interrupted his chanting of the mantra, the child Buddha statue that was placed back in the shrine cracked out of thin air and broke into two halves.
As the child Buddha statue broke into two halves, something that had been sealed in the clay was revealed.
"Well, what is this?" Jin An's face darkened, and he was not polite at all. He broke the clay Buddha statue into pieces with three strokes, and revealed from the statue a mummy of a baby with his hands wrapped around his legs and his body curled up.
.
However, there were only two dark holes in the eye sockets of the baby mummy, and the eyes had been dug out long before death.
