Chapter 144: Ten Taboos and Eight Precepts
We all understand the good intentions of Mr. Jiu Fengzhe.
Isn't there a saying, usually train and sweat more, and go to the battlefield to shed less blood, and our Maoshan Taoist, once the enemy, is not as simple as bloodshed, if you are not good at learning, you may lose your life at any time, and demons and monsters like demons and monsters who have no humanity can do anything, the kind of situation that Mr. Jiu Fengzhe said, is not impossible.
And I also vaguely guessed that the reason why Mr. Jiu Fengzhe has such a strange temperament, so does not cherish himself, and does not leave his body, may be related to the "life is better than death".
My heart ached suddenly.
The seven of us stood up together, bowed deeply to Mr. Jiu Fengzhe, and stretched out our hands.
I said loudly and sincerely to Mr. Jiu Fengzhe:
"Teacher, the disciple is ignorant and has not listened to your teachings, we are wrong, you can punish us. In the future, the disciples are willing to follow the teacher to the death, and they must learn the Maoshan technique well, oppose good and evil, fight for life, and kill all the demons and monsters in the world. ”
The fat man and several of them also echoed in points:
"Good and evil are opposed, fight for life!"
"Good and evil are opposed, fight for life!"
…………
After speaking, we waited for Mr. Jiu Fengzhe's ring ruler to hit our palms again.
But this time, no matter how much it hurts, no matter how much we fight, we are willing, and we all bear it.
But there was a long silence.
Isn't I saying this sensational, not moving enough?
I secretly raised my head, and I saw that Mr. Jiu Fengzhe's murderous eyes were actually full of tears, and Mr. Jiu Fengzhe was actually in tears!
Teacher Jiu Fengzhe cried!
Such a cold person actually cried!
What's even more incredible is that Teacher Jiu Fengzhe, facing the seven of us, knelt down:
"I, Jiu Fengzhe, live and die without regrets!"
We also hurriedly knelt down in front of Mr. Jiu Fengzhe:
"Disciple remember the teacher's teachings!"
Teacher Jiu Fengzhe did not get up, but turned around, facing south, and kowtowed three times to the sky, I know, this is worshipping the ancestral master, when we ate three dishes to choose our lives, the principal also worshipped like this, that is, to ask the ancestor for blessing.
Several of us also turned around and kowtowed to the south, silently reciting the blessing of our ancestors.
Teacher Jiu Fengzhe still didn't stand up and said to us:
"What I say, what you say.
disciple Jiu Fengzhe,
Now in front of the immortals, Taoist ancestors, sacred, and bodhisattvas,
Cultivating Maoshan Technique,
It is used to protect one's body, protect one's family, save one's house, save the world, help others, and do good.
In the future, the disciples will be loyal and filial, benevolent and righteous, and Chang Lun,
Never act against the sky,
I hope that all the immortals, gods, and patriarchs will bless the disciples to succeed in learning the Fa.
Drawn runes,
Miracles,
Radiant,
Bless the people,
Vow to the wine Fengzhe. ”
Why does this sound so familiar?
Isn't this the oath we took when we were enlightened and initiated?
But at that time, it sounded like the slogan shouted by elementary school students joining the Young Pioneers, and it was not taken seriously, but now it is different, and now when we hear this oath, we suddenly feel how sacred!
We took the oath very reverently and respectfully.
After taking the oath, Mr. Jiu Fengzhe stood up, and after we got up and returned to our respective positions, Mr. Jiu Fengzhe said to us:
"From now on, I will officially teach you the Maoshan technique, the Maoshan technique is also known as the charm request, there must be a charm, you have not memorized the spell, I will teach you to draw the charm first."
I was so excited!
This time, it won't let us down again.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, Maoshan technique, we have finally arrived.
I know the importance of drawing talismans to Maoshan art.
My old man once said to me, a little aura is a charm, and the world wastes Mo and Zhu in vain. It's about the difficulty of drawing symbols.
And for beginners like us, who don't understand the mystery of the yellow paper talisman at all, if you take a book of talismans, according to the runes on it, according to the cat and the tiger, do not chant mantras, do not worship, just find pen, ink and paper, and then burn and use, such a way of drawing, naturally has no effect.
As the saying goes:
"If you know the trick of the book,
It makes the ghosts jump
I don't know the trick of the book,
It made the ghosts laugh. ”
The so-called "ghost drawing" is also.
Moreover, there are a lot of taboos when drawing talismans, drawing talismans must be recited, mantras must be drawn, and this talisman must be used by our Taoist priests.
When drawing symbols, you can't draw blindly, scribble, or draw casually, you must strictly abide by the procedures for drawing symbols, and draw according to various drawing methods and requirements to have an effect.
Generally speaking, there are ten precepts and eight taboos for drawing symbols, which are moral requirements for those who draw symbols, and must be complied with, otherwise the drawing symbols are invalid.
The ten precepts are: (1) Abstain from being greedy for money.
It is not reproachful to draw a talisman to relieve the calamities of others, to receive a little money, or only to exchange some food, but it is not to be used to accumulate wealth, insatiable, except for food and clothing, and the surplus is either given to those who are poor, or simply empty-handed, leaving no surplus wealth.
(2) Do not hesitate to make a decision.
When drawing talismans, you should make a quick decision, and "a little aura" can be done in one go. (3) Do not engage in recklessness and be in a hurry.
This is just like writing calligraphy and painting, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, you have to be indifferent and act in moderation.
(4) Abstain from leave, public and private.
Abstain from using the Dharma utensils and items to make a fortune for yourself.
(5) Abstain from blasphemy.
This is a big taboo, it angers the nerves, and the consequences are thought for yourself.
(6) Abstain from unassisted killing.
(7) Quit lustful and alcoholic.
(8) Abstain from extravagance.
(9) Abstain from being a traitor.
(10) Refrain from indiscriminately accepting apprentices, passing on others to others, and revealing heavenly secrets.
In addition to the ten precepts, our Maoshan Zhengdao also stipulates eight taboos for those who draw talismans, that is, to avoid taboo things, such as committing the eight taboos, the talisman is invalid, and there will be no effect, which is more severe.
The eight taboos are:
(1) Avoiding women's menstruation.
(2) Do not see the color and move the heart, in the name of the symbol, do things of clouds and rain.
(3) Avoid being delirious, drawing talismans when you are sick or drunk,
(4) Draw talismans during the honeymoon to avoid newlyweds.
(5) Avoid taboos and get rich through art, and move the anger of the gods.
(6) Avoid taboos and do not save when you see death.
(7) Do not draw talismans for Filipino thieves and gangsters, and politely decline.
(8) Do not elevate your value and seek fame and status.
Do you feel that Taoist things are a lot of rambling and nonsense?
Let me say a word to myself, people who are not right-minded, who do not learn and have no skills, can not be a Maoshan Taoist priest.
Am I? Are they?
I really don't know.
Although Yin Mo is a person with a story, I have never been able to guess his thoughts, and I can't understand him.
Wang Zhihe, not like a good person, a typical son-in-law, looks down on us "low-level people".
But in any case, we have opened the light, entered the Tao, and there are Maoshan authentic Maoshan Taoist teachings, and we have also worshiped the ancestral master, with the blessing of the ancestral master, and self-reliance, ancestral master power, master power, three forces as one, learning to draw talismans, it should not be too much of a problem.
