Section 604: The Eight Treasures of Buddhism
Chinese The people of the country are all Brahmins, worship Buddhism, and like to read the scriptures, and there is such a king who is reluctant in his heart. The king, who was proud of his bravery and strength, often fought with the Poppy kingdom for land, and had been fighting for three years in a row. The king had seven hundred war elephants, one of which could carry ten men, and he had a sword in his hand, and an elephant with a sword tied to his trunk, and he fought with his enemies. The king often stayed on the border and did not return to the palace all day long, and the army was tired and the people complained about their hard work.
However, there was not the slightest hint of depression in the city of Gandhara, and the market was crowded with people, and the people in the market were even more dizzying, and the five of them also planned to go to the market to buy the goods needed to cross the sea.
The market here is divided into two parts, one is a market for the laity, and the other is a market for monks and cultivators, but the boundary between these two types of markets is not obvious, and they are often opened together, one is to sell vulgar household goods, and the other is to sell Buddhist goods, which means that there is no difference between monks and monks.
Nangong Yuhuan hadn't been in the Red Dust Market for a long time, and when she saw it, she immediately revealed her true nature as a woman, and walked around fiercely, seeing Nangong Yuhuan and Lan Ying'er shopping vigorously, the three men had no choice but to accompany them, it didn't matter if they were shopping, they almost didn't get the three big men tired down.
Su He muttered, "Oh my God, I feel that this market is more tiring than practicing." ”
Mu Sheng laughed when he heard this: "You kid is good at exercising, and when you also play a girlfriend one day, you will know that it is amazing." ”
Wu Fa nodded sympathetically, and smiled at Su He: "You see that I have practiced with your Brother Mu, and we will no longer complain." ”
Su He muttered in a low voice: "You two also dare to complain!"
Wu Fa's eyes widened and he said, "What are you talking about?"
Su He smiled and said, "No...... , didn't say anything, I'm talking about the stamina of the two brothers. ”
Wu Fa snorted, ignored Su He, and Mu Sheng followed Lan Ying'er and them forward, Su He secretly wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and quickly followed. Although the worldly things are good, they can't get into the eyes of a few people, Nangong Yuhuan and Lan Ying'er are just watching the excitement, until they go to the end of the sale of Buddhist goods, and the five of them have an interest in buying.
There are a variety of items in the market, there are Buddha paintings, incense for Buddha, robes, crowns and other things, as well as various magic weapons of Buddhism, especially the eight treasures of Buddhism are the most, these eight treasures are also known as eight auspicious abbreviations of wheels, snails, umbrellas, covers, flowers, jars, fish, and long. Each treasure has a different symbol, and it is manifested by the eight kinds of consciousness, namely the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, mind, body, mind, and hidden senses.
The umbrella symbolizes the obscuration, and is known as the head of the Buddha. It can protect sentient beings from afflictions, suffering, and obstacles in samsara, and Buddhism takes its meaning of "relaxing freely and recovering sentient beings".
Goldfish walk in the water, unobstructed, can see through the turbid muddy water, so goldfish have the meaning of discernment. Buddhism uses it as a metaphor for practitioners who transcend the world and achieve liberation in a free and open-minded manner, and a pair of goldfish symbolize the state of liberation, as well as the meaning of rebirth, eternal life, and rebirth.
The vase (jar) is usually filled with nectar and priceless treasures, and the mouth of the bottle is inserted with a peacock feather or wishful tree, which symbolizes auspiciousness, purity and wealth, and also symbolizes the treasure, the perfection of fortune and wisdom, and eternal life. The vase is one of the essential instruments for tantric empowerment, symbolizing the treasure house of the Buddha's good dharma and satisfying all the wishes of sentient beings.
The lotus flower symbolizes purity and purity, representing a pure heart. The lotus flower emerges from the mud without staining, and is unusually soft, which can save people from impurity and bring all kinds of pleasure to others. Tranquility and unstained symbolism of liberation from all troubles.
The conch symbolizes sound vibration in all directions, representing fame, and the right-handed white conch is the most revered and is regarded as a symbol of fame in the three thousand worlds.
The auspicious knot (long) represents the Buddha's endless teachings, which can be carried out in a loop, and will never be barrier-free. The auspicious knot, also known as the auspicious net, is like a net, so it also symbolizes that if you can fish up the pearl of wisdom and the treasure of enlightenment from the ocean of survival according to the Dharma.
The treasure building (cover) symbolizes the subjugation of troubles to be liberated, the victory building was originally a military flag, cylindrical, not like an umbrella can be bent, the leader of this military flag building, leading the whole army to the enemy. Buddhism uses this temple of wisdom as a symbol of the righteousness of destruction, so as to overcome problems and achieve liberation and enlightenment.
*Symbolic of never stopping,* is a powerful weapon, and is the fastest moving vehicle in the universe. Its meaning is threefold, the meaning of destruction, the meaning of rolling wheels, and the meaning of perfection.
In addition to these eight auspicious magic weapons, there are also demon pestles, vajra hammers, Brahma bells, golden drums, chimes, cymbals, cymbals, bells, wooden fish, cloud plates, fish plates, incense burners, candlesticks, lanterns, prayer beads, copper bowls, tin battles, ruyi, tails, whisks, wheel treasures, karma vajra, vajra pestle, vajra bells, vajra plates, six fire vessels, incense vessels, Chinese vessels, lamp vessels, food utensils, and the four pegs used in the enchantment.
The magic weapons of Buddhism are different from other magic weapons, some magic weapons that seem to be ordinary and have no spiritual power, but in fact, they are real Buddhist magic weapons, not to mention those magic weapons of Buddha's brilliance.
Mu Sheng followed everyone around for a long time and thought about it: "Senior brother, the two of you can be said to be more experienced, can you introduce what we should buy?"
Wu Fa smiled: "You don't ask, I also have to say, we have our own easy weapons to use, don't buy them, but pay attention to whether they collide with the water system magic weapon, if you can't resist the water system attack, it is recommended to change it temporarily." As for other magic weapons, I think it's better to buy water-related magic weapons, such as goldfish treasures, treasure bottles, lotus flowers, fish plates, magic conches and other things, of course, * treasure can also be considered, this magic weapon can be attacked and escaped, it is a good thing, but the price is a little more expensive, in addition, I don't recommend buying, after all, our time at sea is not short, buy some related to come in handy. ”
Mu Sheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then picked it up according to Wu Fa's instructions. There are many things on the market, but there are not many really good things. For example, the right-handed white conch sells a lot, but there are not many right-handed white conch at the level of demon beasts, and the shell obtained from the right-handed white conch in the transformation period is not even seen by the five people.
Although there are many lotus flowers for the Buddha, but only one kind of green lotus is called Baolian, and the green lotus is divided into nine products, according to the weight of the petals, the more the number of weights, the higher the grade, the more one and two products on the market, the third and fourth grades are less, and the five or more are rare, and the green lotus above the six grades is almost invisible, not to mention the nine green lotus.
