The Fifth Tantric Dharma King: Fifty-two and Nine-Character Mantras (I)
It was a canyon that was not too deep, with the walls on both sides like knives, but at the bottom of the valley was an intermittent stream, and the large and small stones that had been washed away were incomparably smooth, showing how the long river had passed in the infinite years. At this moment, Wei Fei was sitting on a stone by the stream, stunned. Although the changes in the cold and summer seasons had no effect on him, for some reason, Wei Fei still felt that it was a little too damp.
After picking up a handful of the same cool stream with both hands and wiping it on his face, Wei Fei refreshed himself and continued to look at a place in the stream in a daze. The bottom of the canyon seems to be a dry riverbed, and the stream flows downstream, and in some places it is already full of fine sand, but miraculously flows forward several meters away.
Wei Fei was looking at a fault area in the stream, about two meters long, lined with a dozen pebbles of various sizes, and below was a smaller, rounder layer of fine sand. The strange thing is that the place less than two meters is actually concave, and the upstream stream is suddenly interrupted and does not flow smoothly according to common sense, as if this area is not a natural formation, but artificially paved, so the stream will continue to flow down the river from two meters away, in a gushing way.
Wei Fei frowned and pondered, he always felt that this plot of less than two meters was not as simple as violating the common sense of physics, it seemed that under those pebbles, it seemed that there was an independent space, his eyes stared, and gradually the landscape in front of him changed, the pebbles and fine sand were like lines drawn on the window glass with a fine brush, faintly hidden behind them. Slowly and clearly.
At this moment, Wei Fei's brows suddenly trembled, and he turned to the upper reaches of the stream with a wry smile. "Grandma bear, I guess you should have arrived, but can't you be a little late?"
There was a sudden ripple in the void in that place, and then a figure appeared, "Venerable Wei Fei, you have always been one step ahead of me for several days, and the time between these steps. King Wei Fei should have thought about it. ”
Wei Fei sighed, he looked at the man, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the place where the stream was cut off. He asked very seriously: "You know that I am originally a member of the Central Plains Daomen, and I have no intention of being the great cause of the thousand-year-old prosperity of the Esoteric Sect. ”
The man's figure was instantly revealed. I saw his erected right hand between his two fingers. A silver needle shone brightly, "Venerable Wei Fei, I'm curious, and at the same time, I'm looking forward to it, what other means do you have to resist my nine-character mantra?" ”
"Nine-character mantra?" Wei Fei snorted coldly, compared to the various secret methods in the Esoteric Sect, the flag gate known as the Yi Dao Banner. I still have some understanding of the nine-character mantra that is difficult to divide and define. Of course, there are limits to this so-called understanding.
Wei Fei knew that the nine-character mantra refers to the nine words "Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, Both, Array, Column, In, and Front", which is actually from Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi. Inside. In the "Dengshi", "Zhu said: Those who are fighting in the army are all moving forward in arrays, and they should always be regarded as all-encompassing." It means that by reciting these words constantly, all evil can be removed.
Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi" Taoist classics, divided into two internal and external articles, the inner part is mainly based on Dan law, forbidden art and health preservation, the outer part is biased towards military strategy, political theory, etc., among which the chapter about the nine-character mantra belongs to the forbidden spell, even now, the folk also have "four vertical and five horizontal law" in circulation, before wading the river and crossing the sea, draw four vertical and five horizontal, sincerely wish, you can "eliminate all disasters and clear the day".
The reason why it evolved into the later nine-character mantra was that it began after Buddhism was introduced to Japan in history, and it is also a line of Eastern Esoteric Buddhism. After the introduction of Buddhism in Japan, the Dongmi lineage was born, and the Dongmi has three Tantras, the Vajra Department, the Tibetan Department and the Lotus Department, but the Dongmi is transcribing Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi. Inside. There are mistakes in "Dengshi", and the sentence "all arrays forward" in the chapter is understood as "all arrays are in front", and then it has been used to this day.
Thinking of this, Wei Fei's heart suddenly "thumped", Tantra, Tibetan Secret, Eastern Secret, and Central Plains Daomen, he felt more and more that there must be a connection between them, but it was limited to his cognition of Tantra, and also limited to his previous lack of care, for a while, he couldn't connect those keywords. However, in an instant, I don't know if it was the memory of the Mother of the Kaqi Buddha or the inheritance from the Qimen, and the words "Nine Societies Mandala" suddenly popped up in his mind.
Eastern Esoteric began in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, when the Japanese monk Kukai sought the Dharma in Chang'an, and in the Qinglong Temple from the then Master Huiguo, he inherited the two Tantric methods of Vajra and Fetus. After spending three years in Chang'an, Kukai returned to Japan and founded Shingon Buddhism, also known as Tomi. In Shingon Buddhism, the ten fingers of the human body's hands have their own generation, which is connected with the Buddha nature of the Dharma realm externally, and echoes with the five internal organs and six internal organs internally, and the mudra can be formed to inspire each other with the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Dharma realm, and obtain the supernatural powers of the Buddha. "Lin, Bing, Fight, Who, Both, Array, Column, In, Front" in the Eastern Secret refers to the Nine Societies Mandala Mantra, which is pronounced according to the sound of the Sanskrit alphabet of ancient India.
The use of special syllables to vibrate the body's internal qi veins, and then stimulate the potential of life, the Eastern Secret is in line with the foundation of Tantra in this regard, but in the Eastern Secret, the nine-character mantra often belongs to the ninjutsu specialization. In the final analysis, it is the resonance of sound and qi pulses.
At this moment, Wei Fei's heart beat again. The body, mouth, and mind correspond to the three secrets, chanting mantras in the mouth, sealing in the hands, and intentional in the heart. However, what about all the magical spells in the Central Plains Daomen? Zhongyuan Daomen is a general concept, which is covered by Taoism and Buddhism, but regardless of the start and end time of Qimen Yidao, by Wei Fei's generation, in his inheritance, Buddhism and Taoism have already begun to confirm each other.
Many of the spells of the Central Plains Daomen are also hand formulas, formulas and mental methods, which can be cast, and the small difference is that many of the spells of the Central Plains Daomen can be directly combined with visualization, but in essence, the two are directly connected. For example, the most common sword finger in Taoism is actually the combination of body and mind.
Wei Fei couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, he was not surprised by the striking similarity between the two, but suddenly woke up to the inevitable connection between "all roads lead to Rome" and "ten thousand laws return to the sect", what is the intrinsic connection between Tantra and the Central Plains Daomen?
