Chapter 28: The Buddha's Seal
Back in the room, Lu Dongzan didn't rest, he handed the nine red lanterns in his hand to Gongshan, "Master, look at this thing, is there anything weird?" ”
Gongshan nodded, "It's such a short road, but we can't turn back, it's probably because of these lanterns." ”
With a solemn expression, he punctured the red paper on the lantern and carefully took out the nine small yellow paper rolls hidden inside.
Unfold the scroll of paper with vermilion text drawn on it.
"Sure enough, it's the Nine-Star Ecstasy Array!" In Gongshan's words, in addition to surprise, there were more surprises.
"What is the Nine-Star Ecstasy Array? Doesn't sound like a good thing. Lu Dongzan frowned.
Hearing Lu Dongzan's question, Gongshan pointed to the yellow scrolls of paper and said, "This is a good thing, and ordinary people can't see it." You see, these yellow paper have cinnabar writing words, and these words are effective, these words are Sanskrit, on behalf of the lost turn, nine lights are used together, it will form a loop, if you don't take off the lantern, we will turn repeatedly in that ring this night, and the ghost hit the wall is a bit similar, it is artificial to make us disoriented. ”
Lu Dongzan was involved in many things in Datang, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard it, "This is a spell?" ”
"The Taoists call it a mantra, and the Buddhists call it a seal." Gongshan said with certainty: "This is painted by people in Buddhism, so it uses Sanskrit, Taoist symbols, and Central Plains characters." ”
"Isn't drawing mantras a Taoist thing? How can there be a Buddhist family who also rectifies this? ”
Gongshan explained: "Usually people see Taoist charms, Buddhism only mantras without charms, but mantras can be divided into mandalas, mantras, mantras, Sanskrit, etc., each has its own role, such as healing, increasing, exorcism, town, protection, peace, auspiciousness, luck and so on." ”
"This mantra and Sanskrit characters are painted on yellow paper with cinnabar, which is similar to the Taoist mantra, and there are filthy traces in the Vajra method, but the Buddhist saying is called seal, but there are fewer people who will do this, so it is gradually lost, even if there are some of them, they are mostly scribbled, and they are not like Taoist charms that have spirituality and do not work."
"The talisman and seal are all intended to be attentive, and the talisman and seal drawn by the mind are unstained, this person has a deep Dharma, and understands Kanyu, so he can use the surrounding feng shui to arrange such a nine-star ecstasy array, but he has no intention of hurting people, so each talisman has a gap, that is, the little red light you see when you take the lantern, otherwise, we can't get out of it if we are tired."
Gongshan picked up those Buddha seals and looked at them carefully, and exclaimed again and again: "The Dharma is really exquisite, and I don't know who laid this array?" If only I could see it, although I understand this formation, it is not as good as him, and this person's cultivation is above me. ”
Gongshan is already in his fifties, and if he is still above him, he should be at least a Jiazi age, but inexplicably, a face appeared in Lu Dongzan's mind, fifteen or sixteen years old, with moth eyebrows like daisies, faces like lotus seeds, and a pair of autumn waves.
Gongshan was still guessing there, "Come to think of it, it should be someone from the Great Tang Qin Heavenly Prison, if there is a chance, I hope that the prime minister will let me learn from them, and it will not be in vain to come here." ”
"Okay, I will definitely mention this matter to the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and these Buddha seals, the master will hand them over to me to deal with."
Although Gongshan wanted to keep those Buddha seals, he also knew that these things were evidence of negotiations with the Tang Dynasty, so he only looked at those Buddha seals again and again, and then reluctantly handed them over to Lu Dongzan.
