"The most in it is still the portrait of Vajra Haimu, this is nothing special, right?" Yuan Dunyi was indeed well-informed, and he just glanced at the portrait in the wooden box a few times at random, and he recognized what was painted on it.

From a sketch that Yuan Dunyi randomly pulled, it can be seen that this is a Buddha statue painted, the Buddha statue is a red body, and there is a brown pig's head on the right side of the head, which is an important symbol to identify this Buddha statue.

Although they recognized it at a glance, because these sketches were drawn very casually, the entire true body of Vajrayogini was not revealed on a piece of paper.

For example, on the one that fell into Ye Sheng's sight, the Buddha statue was holding a Gabala bowl full of blood in her left hand, symbolizing that she had obtained a blissful experience and succeeded in her cultivation career. The left arm holds Kazhangga, and the upper part of it has a skeleton, a dry human head, and a fresh human head, symbolizing that she has subdued the invading of greed, hatred, and ignorance.

Raising his right hand upwards and holding a sword, it symbolizes the elimination of people's ignorance and the summoning of wisdom and truthfulness. The left leg dances on one leg and stomps on the corpse to signify victory over external enemies, which is a standard Vajrayogini statue.

Vajra is the protector god in Buddhism, and it is specialized in fighting, so don't think how gentle Buddhism is, if you don't believe in Buddha and become a demon, the Dharma Protector Vajra of Buddhism will let you know that they are more cruel and terrible than demons, so the appearance of Vajra is often more terrible than the appearance of the demon king of hell, and more like a demon than a real demon.

"Does the appearance of the portrait of Vajrayogini here mean anything?" Ye Sheng asked curiously.

Yuan Dunyi also looked at Han Peacock, and Han Peacock said: "The portrait naturally can't say anything. Even if there is a thangka, it is nothing, but if a real body appears, does that mean anything? ”

"Impossible, right? How could the true body of Vajrayogini appear here? Yuan Dunyi said in disbelief.

Vajrayogini, known in Tibetan as Dorje Pam. She is a female deity, according to legend, she appeared in India, Nepal and the snowy plateau of Tibet in the embodiment of body, speech, mind and karma.

In the 8th century, when Dorje Phambam's belief in the Buddha's mother began to spread to Tibet, when Guru Padmasambhava came to the West and Tibet to preach the Dharma, he recognized the Tibetan king of Tibet, Trisong Detsen, Princess Kachen Satsokje, as the embodiment of Dorje Pam's "language".

This is in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. The earliest incarnation of Dorje Pam's female Buddha mother and the wisdom of the empty mother. She is also the first Tibetan woman in the snowy plateau to be incarnated by "King Kong Haimu".

In the 11th century, after Marpa, the founder of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism, invited the "Dorje Pam Buddha Mother Baye Sutra" from India, the practice of Dorje Pam Buddha's mother appeared in the West and Tibet, and then dedicated to the Buddha hall of Vajrayogini. It has also gradually spread to Tibetan areas and other places under the influence of Tibetan Buddhism.

In the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. Vajrayogini is the head of the female deity. Marpa, Milarepa, Gampopa and other great achievers relied on her as their deity.

In the Gelug tradition, she is the concubine of Chakra Vajra, one of the three Buddha-figures. Regarding her image, in Tibetan Buddhist thangkas, her main figure is depicted as a sixteen-year-old girl. One side and two arms, the whole body is red, the right hand is holding the vajra knife, the left hand is holding the blood skull, and the left shoulder is reclining on the heavenly staff.

Three eyes are round, slender waist and graceful, wearing five skull crowns, hanging bone necklaces, right foot hanging in the air, left foot stepping on a human corpse on the lotus sun wheel seat, behind the flame of Prajna, that in the ordinary people's eyes in the incredible image, but implies a profound Buddhist doctrine concept.

According to the important classic of the Tantric Yoga Department of Tibetan Buddhism, "Shengle Ben Continuation", when the Buddha Shakyamuni was talking about the root continuum of Shengle Vajra, there were 24 empty mothers who came to the Gan, Suliang and Zhou Vajra Caves in China after listening to the Tantric Dharma, held offerings and blessed this place.

Because of this special fate, later (it is said to be the first year of Tang Zhaozong's heavenly blessing, that is, on the 25th day of the first lunar month in 904 AD), there were five Vajra Hai mothers reincarnated in Liangzhou, Tangshan Village.

They are "Buddha Mother", "Baby Mother", "Vajra Mother", "Red Flower Mother", and "Successful Mother".

It is said that from the age of five, the five incarnations of Vajrayogini have to make offerings in the red sandstone cave in the winding mountain on the 25th day of the lunar calendar every month.

According to books such as "The History of Politics and Religion in Amdo", there was a girl who bought her heart, lungs, and internal organs on credit from a local butcher surnamed Zhang many times.

One day, the butcher quietly followed the girl to the red sandstone cave in order to ask for money for the meat, and saw five girls making offerings.

When the five girls found out that Butcher Zhang was coming, they flew into the air one after another, and Butcher Zhang hurriedly grabbed the feet of one of the girls in order to get money for meat.

The girl that Butcher Zhang caught was the baby mother, and her body stayed in the air of the red sandstone cave, and the rest of the girls flew away, and Butcher Zhang was instantly relieved.

These peculiar records and legends shrouded the Liangzhou King Kong Haimu Cave Temple in a mysterious aura.

"You should have heard of the legend of Vajra Haimu, if this is the case, coupled with Tianyanzhang's means, there is nothing strange about the appearance of a real body of Vajra Haimu here, right?" Han Peacock smiled and glanced at the clay sculpture in the courtyard.

"Legends are legends after all, are those legends true?" Ye Sheng said.

Yuan Dunyi: "When Zhao Tuo's tomb was not found, the Emperor's Xuangong was also a legend, but now?" Therefore, the legend of the five Vajrayogini cannot simply be regarded as legends, but the true body relics that I know should not be obtained. "Yuan Dun along.

Gan, Suwu, Weiliang, Zhou District 15 kilometers south of the city, is a dragon-like across the east and west of the Qilian Mountains on the north side of a small mountain fort covered with loess covered red sandstone, its southern Qilian Snow Mountain grandeur, but also reflect her simplicity and ordinary.

However, because of the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in Liangzhou and Liangzhou in history, especially the prevalence of Xixia Buddhism in this place, this hill has become the holy place of Vajrayogini, the deity of the Tantric Supreme Yogi Mother Continuation, and the mountain is also extremely holy because of this.

It is the place where Shakyamuni Buddha conferred the demerits, the holy place that communicates with the 24 empty walking holy places, and the place where the empty walking mother of the five directions should appear in the earthly world.

There, there are extremely precious body and bone relics of the "Precious Mother", which is recognized by the Buddha world as one of the Vajrayogini Mothers.

There, there is a famous temple given by the national teacher of Western Xia. There, the good deeds of countless pilgrims have been achieved......

"The place is a good place, and it is a holy place for Buddhism, but people's greed can cover up a qiē." Han Peacock said with a smile.

The Tibetan Buddhist historical classic "Amdo Political and Religious History" says: "The mountain around the mountain resembles the statue of Maitreya Buddha itself, and the distance from head to toe needs to walk for half a day. ”

Yuan Dun said: "The Vajra Mother Cave on the mountain, and its well-known legend of the birth of the Vajra Hai Mother are particularly magical. It makes many eminent monks and practitioners yearn for it. Such a place is certainly a good place. ”

Han Peacock said with a smile: "In the 90s of the 20th century, a large number of precious Xixia cultural relics such as the "Vimala Sutra" printed by movable type printing in Xixia were excavated from the Jinganghai Mother Cave in Tangshan Mountain, which shocked the world, and made this mountain, this cave, and this temple become a rare treasure house for Xixia researchers at home and abroad. It's hard to think about it. ”

Ye Sheng said: "Such a place. It's definitely a good place! ”

Han Peacock looked at Yuan Dunyi. Laughing, he turned his head to Ye Sheng and said, "Uncle Ye can go and see it when you have time, you will be surprised if you go." When I arrived at the Vajra Haimu Temple, I looked at the dilapidated caves that collapsed due to the past earthquakes, the ruins of the old temples everywhere, and the remnants of the old bricks and tiles scattered on the hillside, as if there was a key to open a rusty magical portal.

The legend of the gods and Buddhas of Dunhuang soaring, the cloud-like past of the Western Xia, the caves and monasteries that have experienced the vicissitudes of life...... In an instant, vividly in the eyes, faintly in the ears, touching the soul, even out of the Liang, after the south gate of the state, far away can be seen above the Tangshan Haimu Cave, the newly built Wufang Buddha Mother Hall and the white Vajra Haimu Relic Pagoda, also in the wake of the past thousand years of fabulous years. ”

"You're saying the real Vajrayogini Temple is a ruin?" Ye Sheng couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

"Xiao Han is talking about the cave, although the Vajra Mother Cave collapsed, but the local government still built the Wufang Buddha Mother Hall and the white Vajra Hai Mother Relic Pagoda, the real body relics of the baby mother just mentioned seem to be hidden in the Vajra Hai Mother Relic Pagoda."

Han Peacock nodded and said, "The legend is indeed like this, but the world is wonderful, who can say clearly?" ”

"According to legend, before the Tibetan Manlong Geri Living Buddha came to Liangzhou to worship at the Vajra Hai Mother Cave, 27 Buddhist masters had come from India and Tibet to retreat and practice here, and five of them flew to the Vajra Hai Mother Buddha Country in their bodies after they were completed. ”

Han Peacock looked at Yuan Dunyi and said lightly: "After 1244 AD, King Kuoduan of Xiliang represented the King of the Mongol Khan and invited the Tibetan religious leader Sakya Pandita . Gongga Gyaltsen, when he came to Liangzhou for the famous Liangzhou talks, Sakya Pandita and his accompanying sister Zoba Rangmu and nephew Pasipa all came to Haimu Cave to hold a pilgrimage and puja.

It is said that when they came to the Vajrayogini Cave Temple, the body of Vajrayogini who used to hang in the middle of the cave had fallen not far from the ground, and Zoba Rangmu carefully mixed the nectar with gold, silver, jewelry, and many other treasures and ground it into a washing powder, and applied it to the shrunken body of Vajrayogini.

At this time, a miracle happened, Vajrayogini's muscles were suddenly resurrected, her heart was hot, and she was as bloody as a living person, and Zoba Rangmu also rebuilt the temple at the cave and shaped the statue of Vajrayogini herself.

Since then, the 6th Dalai Lama. Cangyang Gyatso pilgrimage to Wutai Mountain, also came to Liang, Zhou Haimu Cave Temple, at that time Vajra Haimu's body was only a skeleton, Cangyang Gyatso personally built an earthen pagoda in the cave, the Vajra Haimu relics bones in the earthen pagoda for offerings, and at the same time the ashes of Zhang Butcher were also hidden in another earthen pagoda.

There have been many fires here in history, but the spirit bones of Vajrayogini are still intact and preserved, and then due to the earthquake, the cave collapsed, and the earthen pagoda built by Cangyang Gyatso was destroyed, but the relics of Vajrayogini have been secretly hidden by devout believers to this day, and are now stored in the newly cast silver pagoda and stored in the temple hall.

It is the noble pilgrims and local devotees who have come from far and wide to protect the relics and caves of Vajrayogini, continuing the sacred beliefs and magical legends that will never stop there. ”

"These magical legends seem to have become feudal remnants in modern times." Ye Sheng said thoughtfully.

And Yuan Dunyi is more direct: "You mean, the reason why these legends have become legends is because the spirit bones of the baby mother do not have that kind of magic?" ”

Han Peacock smiled and said: "Is it really so magical, we haven't seen it, but we have no reason to deny what we haven't seen." ”

"You won't say that this spirit bone fell into your hands, right?" Yuan Dunyi's eyes also fell on the clay statue in the courtyard.

Han Peacock smiled faintly and said, "Before the end, who knows the real answer?" ”

"The spirit bones have regrown blood and flesh, I really don't believe it, why don't you let us see it?" Yuan Dun along.

Han Peacock shook his head and said: "Legends sometimes deceive people, such as offerings, now it seems to us that the ancient people made some messy tributes to worship various gods, which is completely feudal superstition and ignorance."

But the reason why we think those tributes are messy and ridiculous is because we don't know what kind of role those tributes play, and in my opinion, no matter what the tribute is, it is like providing nutrients to the gods, just like cultivating clones, providing the same nutrient solution. ”

"You seem to believe that the legends are true?" Yuan Dun along.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "Isn't this what you sued me?" Rather believe in it and don't let it go, maybe this spirit bone is an opportunity for us. ”

"The spirit bones have regrown blood and flesh, no matter how you hear it, it's a little weird." Ye Sheng interjected.

Yuan Dunyi: "It's no more weird than cloning a real person with a few cells." ”

Han Peacock said with a smile: "That's right, in fact, many things that we don't understand, that is to say, can't be explained by scientific methods, will choose not to believe, but some things, not believing does not mean that they will not happen." ”

"You're not even thirty years old, where did you know all these secrets?" Yuan Dun looked at Han Peacock, and could only be full of amazement, this Han Peacock is too demonic, he seems to be unknown to me.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "I have a special team under my command to collect information about the treasure, I think you all know it, right?" Actually, I'm not interested in some of the ideas of Buddhism, but more inclined to Taoism, but it's one thing not to be interested, but I'm still very curious about the reincarnation of Buddhism, so I learned a little bit.

As for the Buddha who is not known to many people in the mainland, I can only say that it was accidentally brought her into my sight, I remember that I was looking at the historical survey of Western Xia at that time, and it was from that report that I learned about Vajrayogini. ”

"I mentioned the cultural relics of Western Xia just now, and I noticed that you really came for the cultural relics of Western Xia." Yuan Dun along. (To be continued......)
