King Ming's identity in Buddhism is the "embodiment of wrath" of the Buddha
。
As the saying goes: Buddhas have fire, what happens to Buddhas once they get angry?
That's transformation.
Each Buddha has a corresponding "emanation"
, such as Maitreya Buddha's "incarnation of wrath"
It is the king of the Great Wheel, the "incarnation of wrath" of the Great Sun
It is the central immovable king, etc.
The Five Great Ming Kings are the most well-known and popular Ming Kings.
In the old and new translations of the Nioh Sutra, the names of the five great kings appear.
They are: 1. The King of Fudo Ming is the King of Fudo Ming.
He was the most important deity among the Ming kings, known as the Fudo or Wuwu Zun, and became the three main deities of the folk Buddha statues alongside Guanyin and Jizo Bodhisattva.
King Fudo is in the center of the five kings, that is, in the first place, and the other four kings surround him.
Fudo Ming has a close relationship with the Great Day Nyorai and is regarded as the incarnation or messenger of the Great Day Nyorai.
**Most of the statues of the Fudo Ming King are three-headed, six-armed or eight-armed wrath, holding a sword in the right hand and holding Rosso in the left hand, and most of them are seated statues, and few are standing statues, which are the beliefs of the Hindu god Shiva.
2. Descend to the third Ming King and descend to the third Ming King.
The second is the Three Ming Kings of the East, which means "to surrender the three worlds"
, he often appears in a pair alongside the Fudo Ming King, and is the second most famous Vajrasatta in Tantra.
The third king is also evolved from the Hindu wrath of Lord Shiva, and his statues are mostly three-headed, six-armed or eight-armed, with a third eye characteristic of Lord Shiva in the center of his forehead, wearing a tiger skin skirt, and stepping on the equivalent of Shiva and his concubine Umo under his feet, indicating that he is stronger than the object of imitation.
The little fingers of the two hands of the King of the Third Emperor are hooked together on his chest to form the seal of the Third World, which signifies the subduing of all obstacles to the past, present, and future enemies of Buddhism.
3. The King of the Army.
The third is the king of the south, which means "coiled thing"
。
Judging from the image, all parts of the body of King Jundali are wearing snake ornaments.
Juntu also means "clumsy fire"
It is like a snake that sleeps in the spiritual heat of the body's submarine chakra.
King Juntu Li Ming and the elixir of immortality "nectar"
The belief is closely related, so the king of the army is also known as the king of the manna army.
The statue of the king of the military is usually one side of eight arms, the left foot is slightly raised, making a posture of stepping into the air, and the left and right hands in the center are stretched out to the index, middle and ring fingers respectively, and then the little finger is pinched with the thumb, and the two hands are crossed in front of the chest.
King Mighty Deming.
The fourth is the Great Mighty King of the West, which means "with great power and virtue"
。
He is regarded as a dependant or emanation of Manjushri.
4. One of the characteristics of King Dawei Deming is that he must ride a buffalo, which reflects the myth of the so-called demon god conquering the buffalo in primitive society.
The statue of King Dawei Deming is mostly a six-faced, six-armed, and six-legged posture, therefore, and here, there is a "six-legged honor"
called.
The things he held in his six hands were swords, halberds, clubs, cords, bows, and arrows.
But in the end, King Dawei Deming turned out to be in the form of nine faces, thirty-four arms and sixteen legs, and at the same time, his face became a cow face.
5. King Vajra Yaksha Ming King.
This is the last of the five great kings, and the only one among the five kings who has "King Kong"
Compared to other kings with ancient histories, King Vajrayogini seems to be a later honorable person.
The statue of King Vajrayogini is characterized by the five eyes on his face, two pairs of two eyes side by side, left and right, up and down, and then a fifth eye placed in the center of his forehead.
With five eyes and three faces, it makes people feel terrifying.
In addition to this, it is also special for King Vajra Naksha to raise his left foot high and strike in a T-shaped position.
His left and right first hands hold the vajra bell and the vajra pestle respectively, indicating that he is the honorable person of the vajra realm system.
The Vajra realm, transliterated as Ri Luo Tuo Zhan.
and the "Tibetan Realm"
On the other hand, the two are combined into the two fundamental parts of Buddhist Tantra.
Abbreviated as Nagaworld.
Tantra regards everything in the universe as the manifestation of the great sun, and the manifestation of its intellectual virtue is called the vajra realm; The one who expresses the aspect of its rationality (the eternal understanding that exists in the first place) is called the Tibetan realm.
The difference between the two parts of the golden womb is that the aspect of observation and the position are different and the expression is therefore different, covering the circle of the heart has ten thousand virtues, in the Buddha does not increase, in the sentient beings do not decrease, said that the principle of this Dharma, the original appearance is the womb Tibetan realm, so the womb Tibetan realm mandala can also be called the original mandala, the mandala, the cause mandala.
If there is boundless wisdom, the one who is in harmony with the underworld, and shows the difference in the wisdom of this contemplation, is the vajra realm.
Although this is the wisdom of the Buddha, it is not absent from all sentient beings, and when it comes to the Buddha's fruit and is born, it is also the original being, but in the Vajra realm, it shows the difference in the wisdom of the Buddha's fruit.
Therefore, the vajra realm mandala is also known as the monk mandala, the wisdom mandala, and the fruit mandala.
Take King Kong as a metaphor, take its two meanings, one is self-sturdy, and the other is sharp for karma.
If the wisdom and virtue of internal evidence are sharp, they can destroy the confusion and obstacles to confirm the principle of appearance, and their body is strong and not broken by all afflictions, just like the solidity of the diamond gem, and is not damaged by external objects, so the vajra realm has the meaning of wisdom, fruit, enlightenment, self-evidence, etc.
On the contrary, the rationality of the coming is within everything, supplemented by great compassion; Just as the fetus is in the mother's womb, and just as the seed of the lotus flower is contained in the flower, it is the fetus that is stored in the womb, so the womb Tibetan realm has the meanings of reason, cause, rigpa, and transformation.
If the vajra realm is equipped with the five wisdoms, it is divided into five parts: Buddha, Vajra, Treasure, Lotus, and Karma; The Tibetan realm is the teaching that guides him, and if it is accompanied by the three virtues of great determination, great compassion, and great wisdom, it is divided into three parts: Buddha, Lotus, and Vajra.
