Chapter 1170: The God of Wealth Law Ritual
Therefore, the Treasure King is not only responsible for the transformation of merit and good fortune in the world, and the distribution of wealth in the world, but also the god of war who protects the Dharma and eliminates demonic obstacles. Therefore, by diligently reciting his mantras, and always practicing compassion, joy, and giving, to the benefit of all sentient beings, with the great blessings of the Buddha-figure Treasure King and the God of Wealth of the Eight Paths, one can pray for a successful career and a great future.
The Heavenly King of Treasures, who is mentioned in the Buddha's stage as the Bodhisattva in the Golden Light Sutra, and the Four Heavenly Kings are in charge of wealth in the Four Heavenly Kings, and belong to the Dharma Protector and the God of Wealth in the world and the world.
When Shakyamuni Buddha said the Vinaya of his family, the four heavenly kings vowed to protect the monks and the precepts, and when Shakyamuni spoke about the Medicine Sutra and other Mahayana scriptures, he vowed to protect the Mahayana Bodhisattva, and when he preached the Tantric Vajrapani Bodhisattva Method, the four heavenly kings all vowed to protect the Tantric method from the shravaka to the Tantra.
Some monks say that the Four Heavenly Kings were the first four disciples of Shakyamuni when he first turned to propagate the Dharma, that is, Shakyamuni's father sent him to follow the bodyguards who protected Shakyamuni, and later saw Shakyamuni enlightened under the Bodhi tree, and developed faith, so he took refuge in the Buddha and became the first batch of disciples. Later, he was ordered to protect Buddhism and became the Four Heavenly Kings. The King of Treasure is one of them, but this statement has not been confirmed, just listen to it.
In the refuge realm of each faction, the appearance of the treasure king is the most special, in the refuge realm of each faction guarding the four sides of the courtyard gate of the current standing posture of the statue of Bishamen, and in the first row of the courtyard gate of the protector of the god of wealth, now riding the lion statue of the heavenly king, at the same time each faction also has some different treasures in the statue of the heavenly king, which is very special, different from any deity.
At the same time, according to the widely spread system, the Treasure King is the lord of the God of Wealth, who lives in the north of Mount Meru, the lord of the North Ju Luzhou, and controls the medicine fork and the gods of the world, and all the gods of wealth, including the five surnamed God of Wealth, are his deployment. However, in the system of the god of wealth of each faction, the god of wealth is more or less higher than him, and this should be subject to the lineage of each faction. When they specialize in the method of wealth, they each have a different god of wealth as the main deity.
The King of Treasure is mainly in charge of money, including the smooth work in the world, the perfection of the bodhisattva path in the world, etc., and has a lot of vows, and he practices this method to obtain the blessings of his wishes. The root cause of the corresponding to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is that it needs to be the same as the vows of the Buddha-figures, and the combination of the power of the vows is like water melting into water, so that we can correspond to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and receive blessings, so we make a wish to be supported by the world's lives, respect the Three Jewels, and fulfill the wishes of all sentient beings like the King of Treasures, which is what we want to make in our practice today.
The first thing to practice is to see the purity of the precepts, which is the origin of the first look of the Treasure King. In the family, the character must be upright, fair and just, righteous, and at the same time, the profession must be correct, and you can't go astray, otherwise it will not be good. At the same time, when practicing externally, the Treasure King is also a very clean lord, and he should take more baths, wash his hands, face and teeth, and the cleanliness of his body and mind can correspond to the Treasure King. In the past, if you can take a bath often, it must be a rich and noble person who has a very good environment, and you don't have a bath in poor places. Eating and lodging are also particular, and bowls with missing corners, incomplete cracked cups, food delivered by unclean people, and tea cannot be touched. In particular, murder and fornication.
This deity is especially suitable for some entrepreneurs with decent careers, shopkeepers, executives, etc. In short, on the basis of piety, keep the body and mind clean, and the king of treasure will definitely protect it, and it will be greatly supported.
There is a story in Tibetan areas that when the Mongolian soldiers entered Tibet and burned and killed, there was not a grain of rice left in the temple, and an old monk cried and accused the temple protector Caizun, and asked him what to do, but he didn't care. Some say that they fell the torma, while others say that they threw the cloth bag containing the grain and threw it on the idol of the god. I woke up early the next day to find that the warehouse was full. There are many versions of this story in Tibet, and there are many versions, with the treasure king being the majority, but there are also people who have heard that it is said that the elephant trunk god of wealth, the Nyingma three-faced and six-armed red wealth honor, the black god of wealth, and the Sakya sect red wealth honor. The story is the same, but the wealth is different.
There are a variety of cultivation methods for the Treasure Heavenly King, you can offer water, flowers, tormas, smoke and so on, Tibetan people generally use small cups of water supply, Buddha statues need to be passed on orally, with generally monks who have been home, most of them are still offering flowers, smoke offerings and placing their own rich tributes. Through these offerings and our wishes, we can fulfill our wishes.
It is more important to make offerings through one's own practice and the power of one's mind, and to fulfill these wishes through the wishes of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the power of mantras, and various dependent causes. Depending on the wish of the Treasure King and the fulfillment of merit, it is also necessary to strengthen the dependent arising objects, which are the medium of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas and the practitioners, such as when a certain part is insufficient, it is supplemented and strengthened in another way, there are many kinds of external and internal ones, and faith, visualization, and recitation of mantras are all dependent origins. There are also external dependent origins, such as the Eight Treasures, the Eight Auspicious Fortunes, the Manza, food, coins, and so on. Don't be suspicious or biased about these forms of offerings, the first offering is to express your faith and origin in the Three Jewels, and the second offering is the need for the attainments you will attain in the future.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will have the ability to receive any offering that ordinary people make, but in order to make the offering immeasurable and increase the merits, it is only through continuous practice and vows.
The following is a simple ritual of the God of Wealth that ordinary people can practice at home.
