Chapter 100: Great Gains

"Hey, Ding Mu, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak, don't scare me!" Di Liguna saw Ding Mu standing motionless in front of the Buddha statue, and she didn't reply to his call, and waved her hand in front of Ding Mu's eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ding Mu came back to his senses from the system and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, but I feel something in my heart and I'm out of my mind." Let's move on. ”

Di Liguna never imagined that Ding Mu had learned so many things in the sea of consciousness in a short period of time, and he was simply reborn, but Ding Mu was stunned for a while, after all, the time was not very long, and he didn't care, and said: "You were stunned here just now, just now a group of people came in and went out, you were motionless, and others looked at you." ”

Saying that, the two walked out of the main hall, Ding Mu really didn't notice that other tourists had come, and a tour guide took him to explain the tantric Buddha statue in the exhibition room. Ding Mu glanced at Di Liguna and whispered, "Let's go, let's go and listen." ”

Di Liguna nodded, and the two walked softly and quickly to the exhibition room and approached the guide. The tour guide is a woman with a weathered face, but her speech is clear and her voice is crisp, which is very suitable for this job. There are five or six people who ask for a tour guide, old and young, men and women, and I don't know what the relationship is.

When Ding Mu came over, the tour guide also just started to say: "Tantra, also known as Esoteric Buddhism, originated from the later stage of the development of Mahayana Buddhism in ancient India, and has obvious characteristics compared with Sutra. Buddhism emerged 800 years after Shakya's death, when it became clear and esoteric. Scholars believe that Tantra is the product of the combination of a part of Mahayana Buddhism and Brahmanism after the 7th century. It was introduced to Tibet in the early 8th century by the Indian master Rinpoche Watson. He fought many battles with Bon shamans in tantric methods, and every time he defeated some Bon shamans, he announced that a certain Ben deity had been subdued and named the protector of Buddhism. The tantric Buddha statues of Tibetan Buddhism are unique and are a precious treasure of religious art and a treasure of human body art in the world. ”

When Ding Mu heard Guru Padmasambhava, he couldn't help but think of the cutscene in his live-action beautification system. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but what I learned also poured out of the lotus.

I only listened to the tour guide continue to speak: "So what are the differences between Tantra and Buddhist Sutra? There are roughly the following points: First, the Sutra Buddhism takes the Buddha Shakyamuni as the head of the teachings and attaches importance to theory, while the Sutra advocates the great day and pays attention to matters; second, the Sutra advocates public preaching and propagation of the Dharma, sitting meditation, enlightenment, and self-cultivation close to the Buddha, while Tantra attaches importance to inheritance, mantras, and mantras in order to become a Buddha immediately; third, the Sutra classics mainly include sutras, Vinayas, precepts, and treatises, and Tantra also includes praises, praises, dharmas, mantras, rituals, yoga, and deeds; In addition to the four rituals of dwelling, sitting, and lying down, tantra also needs to be visualized, taught by the teacher, and the rituals and practice procedures must be observed. ”

Hearing this, a man with glasses interjected, "Tour guide, can you tell us more about how tantra is dually cultivated." I've heard that the highest level of empowerment is for men and women to do that. Hey, hey, hey. ”

The tour guide was well-informed, and he was not displeased when he heard this, and explained: "What you said is too one-sided. Tantric practice can be roughly divided into four steps: Matter Tantra, Action Tantra, Yoga Tantra, and Supreme Yoga Tantra. However, Lama Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Yellow Sect, prescribed that the stages of practice should be first manifest and then tantra. Only living Buddhas who have obtained a Tibetan Geshe degree are eligible to practice Tantra, which is taught by the Vajra Master alone and practiced in the Upper and Lower Tantric Monastery. ”

"If you are not a living Buddha, you cannot practice tantra. The tour guide glanced at the man in glasses and continued, "Just now this gentleman asked about the empowerment, which is a ritual that must be held when practicing Lamaism. From the beginning to the beginning of a lama's practice of the highest tantric supreme yoga tantra, a lama has to perform multiple empowerments in order. Lamaism does regard empowerment as the most solemn and sacred ceremony, and those who have not received the empowerment are not allowed to practice Lamaism and read Lamaist scriptures, otherwise they will not only not be able to achieve it, but will also go to hell after death. ”

The tour guide saw the man with glasses listening with a smile, and continued patiently: "The practice of tantra is accompanied by Concubine Ming, which is for double cultivation. You see, most of the tantric statues are male and female, and they are called 'Joy Buddha', also known as 'Joy Heaven'. Each of these Buddha statues has a Buddhist story or legend, so they are three-dimensional allegories of Buddhism. Because the Buddhas of Joy are all naked, and they are intercourse with men and women, some people mistakenly think that 'joy' refers to the happiness of men and women. In fact, these two words refer to fearlessness, the spirit of great anger, the transcendence of life and death, and the meaning of joy. ”

"By the way, guide, how do you do the empowerment?

The tour guide smiled: "It's almost the same, but it's not all right." The initiation ceremony must be performed by the Vajra Master. The ceremony is held in Mantuo, which is a ashram with Buddha statues and ritual utensils, similar to where we are, where the person who receives the indoctrination takes a bath and wears a costume, and the guru holds a vase filled with holy water, sprinkles water on the head of the recipient, and then uses a bowl made of human skull to drink barley wine. ”

"Human skulls?!" exclaimed a female tourist, covering her mouth.

"Well, it's a human skull. Seeing that the tourists were attracted by the scene they described, the tour guide also felt a sense of accomplishment, and continued: "Since you are in high spirits, I will talk about the highest level of empowerment that I don't usually talk about, but the process of the initiation of the Supreme Yoga Tantra. ”

Everyone applauded, and the tour guide said: "This process is like this." A disciple who practices tantric practice takes a virgin who is 12, 16, or 20 years old, leads her to the secret room, and presents her to the guru in a screen surrounded by a curtain. This girl is called Concubine Ming, that is, the Mother of the Buddha. Then the Guru blesses the Vajra lotus, which is the male and female genitalia, and after contemplating the body of a laywoman into the void, she will give birth to the body of a heavenly woman'. Then the guru and the concubine entered the screen and performed the great yoga tantra method, and the harmony of men and women was determined, which is commonly known as ox and then entered the meditation. The disciples knelt outside the curtain with cloth covering their eyes. After the ceremony, the guru took the concubine to the front of the curtain and took the mani treasure with her thumb and ring finger, which is jy, and placed it in the mouth of the disciple, while reciting the Vajra Sutra. The disciple should recite the mantra that means 'I wish for great happiness' and swallow the manibao. And Concubine Ming, from the moment she entered the meditation, did not wear clothes, and took nectar drops from the lotus, that is, virgin blood, which was also placed in her mouth, and drank it as above. This is called tantric empowerment. After the initiation, the disciple goes to cover his eyes. The Guru placed the concubine's hand in the disciple's hand, then held their hand with his left hand and placed the vajra on top of the disciple's head with his right hand, and taught, 'The Buddhas have this testimony, and I will give you the Buddha's testimony.' Then let the disciple and the concubine of the Ming Dynasty cultivate and reconcile with each other, and cause great happiness. ”

Everyone listened with relish, and Ding Mu's heart was shocked: "Mani Bao is placed in the mouth of the disciple! That is, the essence of life is placed in the mouth of the disciple! His own real beautification system also transmits the beautification ability through this way, can it be said that there is really a mysterious connection in this." ”

I only listened to the tour guide to continue speaking, although there was no comment between the words, but there was no doubt that the Spring and Autumn Brushwork was brought in: "There can be as many as nine concubines who are dedicated to the secret empowerment, which is called Jiuming." These concubines were beautiful and dignified virgins who had reached the age of 12 or 16, and if they could not find a virgin, they could dedicate their sisters, sisters, daughters, and wives to the lamas for their initiation. ”

Among the tourists, there was a dignified white-haired old man who was dissatisfied: "What kind of religious ceremony, it's xx girl! I read a novel in Dahua literature 30 years ago, that is, about empowerment, a girl was frozen to death in the ice after being xx." It was very popular at the time, and it was banned later, but it makes a lot of sense, you young people can look for it on the Internet. ”

A woman tugged at the old man's clothes and said like a child: "Dad, don't say that, novels are all fictional, and people don't talk about putting ice in them." After a while, the human lama will come out and fight with you. ”

The old man also knew that the occasion was inappropriate, so he stopped talking. At this time, the tour guide was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly said to the mud: "Let's learn it as knowledge, and we won't comment on the specifics." Okay, let's go to the next exhibition hall. ”

Ding Mu and Di Liguna also followed to the second exhibition hall and listened to the tour guide explain slowly.

"Among these Buddha statues, the most influential from an artistic point of view is the bronze 'Great Mighty Fear Vajra' in the second exhibition room. He was a man and a woman, with nine faces, thirty-four hands, and sixteen feet. The nine faces represent the 'Nine Mahayana Sutras', the two horns symbolize the 'Two Truths', the 34 hands plus the body, speech and mind are 37 to symbolize the 'Thirty-Seven Dharmas of Bodhi', the 16 feet symbolize the 'Sixteen Emptiness', and the union of men and women symbolizes 'Great Happiness'. The left and right sides each have eight feet and eight birds, symbolizing the 'eighty parts' and 'eight freedoms', the nude nirvana symbolizes 'unstained dust', and the angry hair rushes up to symbolize the 'wonderful way'. There is a legend about the Buddha of Joy in the Four Vinaya Dharmas and in the Eastern Tantra in the RB Tantra that the woman was the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and with her beauty she subdued the Brahmanical king, making him the permanent protector of Buddhism. This statement is completely based on the psychology of secular attachment. Delving into the root of tantric cultivation is a state that is difficult for ordinary people to attain, and it is necessary to break ignorance, cultivate good roots, and attain enlightenment. ”

After speaking this paragraph, the tour guide breathed a sigh of relief, regained his state, and continued, "The true meaning of this secret does have a veil of mystery, and just now, our old gentleman also had a dispute. This aspect is too profound, we don't understand very well, but these highly skilled human figures, the charm of art, is that every visitor can be aesthetic, the exhibition room also exhibits the prison master King Kong, riding sheep protector, joy King Kong, auspicious heavenly mother, Shangle King Buddha and so on, please enjoy it freely. That's the end of our explanation, thank you. ”

After the tour guide left, the tourists dispersed. Ding Mu and Di Liguna slowly admired the Buddha statue with great interest.

Diliguna is a dancer, and looking at these exquisite Buddha statues, there are many dancing postures in her mind. With so many inspirations coming in, I couldn't help but dance and think that I could go back to school and make up a new dance.

Ding Mu, who has passed on the supreme double practice of tantric yoga, is different, and from these Buddha statues, he visualizes a lot of qi flowing, his breath changes slightly, and his own internal force is affected and runs slightly. Ding Mu's heart was shocked, and he felt angry, he had the legendary sense of qi in martial arts!

The live-action beautification system flashed with golden light, and a hint appeared: the sense of perfect achievement. The system has been upgraded: added auxiliary functions, internal vision. (To be continued.) )
