Chapter 113: "The Law Seal"

Last time, I talked about urging the carpenter to teach Zhu Youxiao the Fa and analyzing how to cast the "Nine-Character Mantra Spell" through the "seal", which immediately made him very interested.

"Apprentice, look at it, this 'Nine-Character Mantra Mantra' can also be cast through the 'Seal' method." Urging the carpenter to use his divine sense to transmit the sound to Zhu Youxiao, and use his strong spiritual power to conjure up his own body in the "divine consciousness space" of his apprentice Zhu Youxiao, and demonstrate it one by one in front of 50 "divine soul villains".

"Well, I know, good master, you can just demonstrate it directly, our sisters and husbands are all watching, giggles." The women laughed.

The seal of the "soldier" is that the second-hand index finger is upright, so that the middle finger overlaps it, the little finger and the ring finger are bent and combined, and the thumb is upright; The seal of "bucket" is a combination of the ring finger, middle finger and thumb standing upright, and the little finger and index finger bending; The mark of the "person" is that the index finger and thumb are upright, and the other fingers are intertwined at the nail.

The imprint of "all" is a combination of all the fingers bent outward; The knot of the "array" is that all the fingers are bent inward; The seal of the "column" is that the index finger of the left hand is erected, the fingers are held with the right hand, and the thumb is placed inside; The "front" imprint is a second-hand thumb and index finger in a circle; The seal of "Xing" is to circle the thumb and index finger of the left hand, and the rest of the fingers of the left hand are gently clenched into a fist, and the right hand is wrapped around the left hand. These are all the seals of "Eastern Tantra" after it was transmitted to the Wa Kingdom.

"Tomi" is a Buddhist term, that is, the "Japanese Shingon Esoteric Teaching" with "Toji Temple" as the fundamental dojo, also known as "Toji Stream", as opposed to the "Taimi" of the Tiantai sect. The "Eastern Secret" of "Kukai" was later passed on to Zhenya, Zhenran, and Genren, who in turn passed on to Yishin and Shengbao.

"Lin" (りん), Bing (びょう), 闘 (とう), 者 (しゃ), 皆 (けい), array (じん), column (れつ), 在 (ざい), 前 (ぜん)" is the "Chinese character" of the "nine-character mantra" that has been passed down orally by the "ninjas" or "hermits" of the Wa Kingdom for hundreds or even thousands of years.

For ninjas, the correct pronunciation of the nine-character mantra "Lin, Bing, Fight, Ji, Ji, Array, Column, In, and Before" is "りん, びょう, とう, しゃ, けい, じん, れつ, ざい, ぜん", which is pronounced according to the Japanese pronunciation, or "Wahua Kanji".

As a "ninja" or "hermit", it is an indispensable process to recite the "nine-character mantra" before the battle, and at the same time use both hands to pose various "seals", i.e., "Dharma seals", because the things they say and knot in their hands are the nine-character mantras or nine-character secret seals (nine seals) that are now taught to their apprentices by carpenters.

In the era of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, three Indian "tantric masters", Shanwu Fearless, Vajra Zhi, and Bukong Sanzang, came to China and passed down the teaching of "Buddhist Tantra", called "Han Mi". At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the "Esoteric Religion" brought into Tibet by the Mongols was merged with the local "Lamaism" to form the "Tibetan Esoteric Religion". The "Tibetan secret" popular in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the "Hanmi" popular in the mainland have been fused to form a "miscellaneous secret", which has a great influence among the people.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the "Wusi Tibetan Capital Division" in "Tubo", that is, Tibet, and began to garrison the local aristocratic forces. However, during the Yongle period of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court thought that "Tantra" was too strange, so it ordered the abolition of "Tantra" in the interior, so that the "Miscellaneous Tantra" gradually declined in the Central Plains, but Tibet was not affected.

However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the "Dongmi Shingon Sect" brought to Japan by the "Kukai Daishi" was widely spread. Therefore, the "Tantra" regarded the Buddha "Virujana" as the supreme commander and the founding master, and strongly advocated the inheritance of mantras and mantras, so that the "Eastern Tantra" developed rapidly in the Wa Kingdom and influenced the local religious culture.

Spiritually speaking, the "Master of the Eastern Esoteric Sect" is also the "Great Day Nyorai", that is, the famous "Kamakura Great Buddha" is the "Virujana Buddha". Another major feature of "Eastern Tantra" is that "Tantra" believes that the human body has many mysteries and potentials, and that as long as the "Tantric Method" makes unremitting efforts, the "practitioner" can realize its full potential, let the body communicate with the universe, and reach the state of "Heaven and Man". This coincides with the "extreme physical art" pursued by the "ninja".

The "Three Tantric Blessings" are an important part of the "Tantric Practice", including the "Body Secret" ("Hand Seal Deed", the "Verbal Mantra" ("Oral Mantra" and the "Mind Meditation Buddha". Of course, the monks and nuns of the Wa Kingdom can get married, have children, and even cultivate yin and yang, which may also be one of the "tantric" methods.

The main practice method of "body secret" is the "mudra", which is simply to form different shapes by crossing the ten fingers of the two hands with each other, and to cooperate with the imagination to form a special way of cultivating the "spiritual master" with the mind, which is somewhat similar to the "witch wish" and "Shinto method body technique" in the "cultivation realm" in the Central Plains of Haixi.

There are thousands of types of "Tantra" mudras, each of which has a special meaning and function, such as: "auspicious seal", "vajra great favor seal", "big wheel altar seal", "subjugation of demons seal", "treasure crown holding treasure seal", "light and flame realm seal", "binding thoughts and other immortal seals", "quasi-nine-headed dragon seal" and so on.

Although some mudras have the same name, they have very different shapes, such as the "Vajra Armor Seal", which is a type of "demonic body". If this is the case, when you think of the "Ming Seal" as an armor, if you put it on yourself, it will be full of light and flames, which can disgust the demons, make them scatter and gallop away, and it will consume mental power to exert it.

The "Nine Ninja Seals" are: "Exclusive Seal", "Daikangang Wheel Seal", "Outer Lion Seal", "Inner Lion Seal", "Outer Binding Seal", "Inner Binding Seal", "Knowledge Seal Seal", "Sun Wheel Seal" and "Invisible Seal". Most of these "Dharma seals" were borrowed from the "Eastern Secrets" by the "hermits", and some were borrowed from the "Onmyoji".

For the "Eastern Esoteric Method", through the ten fingers of the two hands of the human body, together with the "thoughts" of psychological imagination, in line with a certain "practice", and forming different "mudras" with each other, the effect of blessing the "practice of the Tantra" can be produced. This is also the reason why the "Hermit" is always busy with his hands when he attacks.

The theory of "Tantra" holds that the ten fingers of both hands can communicate with the "Dharma Realm Buddha Nature" externally, and the internal energy can communicate with the five internal organs, so when practicing the "Tantric Method", the "mudra" can be formed to inspire each other with the "body secret" of the "Buddha and Bodhisattva" that has been achieved in the Dharma Realm, increasing the quick effect, as if obtaining the Buddha's supernatural powers.

In addition to the "knot mudra", there are also various sitting postures for the "body secret". These "sitting postures" are as diverse as the "mudras" and have their own meanings. The "auspicious sitting" and "demon sitting" in the "full kneeling sitting" are the two "sitting postures" that the "ninja" often practice.

In addition, the "ninja" or "hermit" often has to cooperate with the "incense" in the "Five Paths of Ninja" to carry out the concentrated cultivation of spiritual power of "auspicious sitting" and "demon subduing sitting".

"Secret language", also known as "mantra" or "mantra", is a "cultivation method" in which practitioners recite a series of mantras orally, causing them to generate "creations" or "telepathy" in their hearts, and causing them to undergo abnormal changes. "Yumi" can use this special note to vibrate the qi veins in the body, focus the mind on one point, form extraordinary potential, and inspire "supernatural powers" and "high wisdom". It is also similar to the "spiritual power cultivator" in the "Central Plains Cultivation Realm" in Haixi.

In Tantra, the number of mantras is the same as that of mudras, and there are many types, such as: "Fire Heavenly Mantra", "Yama King Mantra", "Four Heavenly Kings Mantra", "Golden-winged Bird King Mantra", "Rakshasa Mantra", "Rakshasa King Mantra", "Blessing Mantra", "Samaya Mantra", "Fudozun Mantra", "Vajra Armor Mantra", and so on. In addition, there are also the "five-character mantra" of "Manjushri Bodhisattva", the "six-character mantra of Tibetan Esoteric Nyorai", and the "eight-character mantra of Manjushri".

The "ninja" or "hermit" pronunciation of "presence, soldier, fight, one, all, array, column, in, front" is the "mantra of the nine associations" in the "Eastern Secret". Most of the "Eastern Secret Mantras" are pronounced according to the combination of sounds and rhymes of the Sanskrit alphabet of ancient India. However, the mantras that are spoken in the Koyayama Yamami Avenue Field in Japan have largely been turned into Sanskrit with a Japanese accent. However, this does not affect the "Ninja" or "Hermit" from casting the "Mantra Spell" while fighting.

The "forbidden art" of "Xuanmen Taoism" is derived from the early "qi technique" and "rune method", which was first seen in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and can be divided into two categories: "qi ban" and "curse ban", involving a variety of contents, from traveling to clouds and asking for rain, repelling insects and avoiding disasters to inviting ghosts to send gods to do everything, common "calling for wind and rain", "thunder and lightning", "pretending to be gods and ghosts".

The article about the "nine-character mantra" in "Hug Puzi" belongs to the "curse forbidden", and the original text is: "It is necessary to know the secret blessing of Liujia when entering the mountain." Zhu said: 'Those who are fighting in the army, all move forward in array', all nine words, often as a secret blessing, everything is refutated". Wading the river and crossing the sea is wished: "Roll the canopy, the river will guide the dragon, and all disasters will eliminate the sky." The "blessings" here are actually "mantras", "mantras", "secret mantras", "secret words", and "mantras", but they need to be performed by "cultivators".

The Japanese people slightly modified this, and it became a common appearance in the "Japanese Kingdom" in later generations. However, from the point of view of the practice of chanting mantras by "tantric" monks, it uses a special kind of musical note to vibrate the "qi veins" in the body, so that it emits the "potential" of life, and becomes a role beyond the habitual phenomena to enter the "divine realm", and can even enlighten "supernatural powers" and a high degree of "wisdom". This kind of "supernatural power" is also called "supernatural phenomenon", and "wisdom" is "possession of gods".

Among the three tantric teachings of the Eastern Tantra, such as the Vajra Division, the Tibetan Birth Division, and the Lotus Division, each has different mantras, enabling practitioners to achieve different results for different purposes. The greatest focus of tantric mantra pronunciation is the relationship between sound and human qi, which is purely a mystical effect that transcends physics.

"Mind Secret" is the most important part of the "Three Tantric Blessings", and in the whole process of Tantric practice, both "body secret" and "verbal secret" rely on "mind secret" to play a role. On the other hand, "Mind Secret" triggers "consciousness potential" through "visualization" and achieves a "spiritual realm" beyond the object, allowing people to gain "superpowers".

It is also said that the "nine-character mantra" of "ninjutsu" is a kind of "secret art" of "self-hypnosis", just like in the magic show of later generations, the magician hypnotizes an assistant and says, "You are a stick." At this time, even if someone stood on the suspended body of his assistant, he didn't know it, and the reason was the same.

"Yimi" can use the process of "knotting mudras" and "chanting mantras" to concentrate thoughts and paralyze oneself, so that the blood of the "ninja" or "hermit" boils all over the body, and becomes so excited that it can temporarily forget the pain during the battle, and completely become a strange "killing machine" running at full power.

The most basic "classics" of "Dongmi" are the "Great Nikkei" and the "Vajra Sutra". Through the basic principles of these two scriptures, we can learn that human beings have their own instincts that transcend all things in the universe, and that as a warrior with a special profession called "ninja", every battle is a vicious battle of life and death.

Since it is a fight to the death with his life, of course, he hopes to use his full potential to fight for survival. At this time, the "ninja" needs a catalyst that can motivate their mental support and allow the body to fully display its functions, and the "nine-character mantra" is just right for this need and is respected by ninjas.

"Apprentice, now you understand the importance of the 'Pinching Spell' when casting spells, right?" ———— "Hehe, Master, the apprentice has benefited a lot!" ”
