Chapter 385: The Great Sun Seal (1)

"Tantra is indeed Tantra, and it never puts the superior method into words. ¢£ Top¢£ Point ¢£ Small ¢£ said that although there are many things in this "Commentary on the Great Nikkei" that have never been seen before, there is no inheritance of exercises. What I thought of getting the exercises from it as a reference, it was still delusional. Fang Zhixing finished reading the fourteen volumes of "The Interpretation of the Great Nikkei" and thought to himself. He was inspired by the hexagrams, and carefully flipped through this book compiled by his disciples, but he didn't see any exercises in it, so he could only sigh to himself.

But even so, Fang Zhixing didn't have much loss in his heart, although he didn't find the exercises, he also gained a lot. I saw him reopen the "Interpretation of the Great Nikkei", stare at a pattern in the page, and think to himself: "This page is quite different from the rest of the pages, and it seems to be entrained." And the image above is so detailed, and there are some traces of rubbing, there must be some origin. If I can really get anything out of the Commentary on the Great Nikkei, I'm afraid it's going to be on this picture. ”

Looking intently, I saw a Buddha sitting on the lotus, his hands were sealed, his head was wearing five Buddha crowns or knotted hair bun crowns, and the whole body was strictly decorated with jewels, and the texture was quite detailed, which can be described as lifelike. The round halo behind this Buddha is like a great sun, quite dazzling. And at the back of this page, there is a Sanskrit handwriting, which seems to be a bright mantra.

"The Great Day is also known as Maha Virujana, Virujana, Everywhere Qiē, and Light Everywhere, which is the most fundamental Buddha-figure of Esoteric Buddhism. And this mantra of light is also called the mantra of great light, the mantra of the great sun. In this way, the Buddha on this picture is obviously the Great Riru. But the mantra of light is used to extinguish sin, and it is not from the Great Nikkei. It is not for nothing that this passage appears here. Fang Zhixing combined what he knew in the past. I thought to myself. Thinking of this, he meditated. While gazing at the image, chanting the mantra of light, hoping to feel something.

Recited so intently several times, but the image did not react, Fang Zhixing had to stop, looking at the image that seemed to be mutilated on it, the little alarm clock said secretly: "This image is depicted so meticulously, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can do, most of it is carefully woven by knitting and other methods, and it is also blessed." It's a pity that the picture in front of me is a rubbing. Not only is the texture written lost, but some possible secret places cannot be sensed, and this method of reciting the mantra seems to be unworkable. ”

The recitation of the mantra failed, and Fang Zhixing could only speculate from his original meaning. "The literal meaning of the Bright Mantra is 'Om! Nothing is empty, the light shines through!' Mahamudra...... 'Mahamudra, Mahamudra......" muttered Fang Zhixing, who is a practitioner of Mahamudra and is naturally quite sensitive to this. He said "Mahamudra" several times, and then excitedly said, "Yes, it's Mahamudra." The seal of the Buddha's hands seems to be quite different from what you usually see, and it is clear that there is something else in it. The Bright Mantra should be followed by 'Lotus Treasure!Flame!Please!', and the word 'Lotus Treasure' is missing from this Bright Mantra, which I thought was a transcription error. Now that I think about it, it should have been a deliberate omission. In this way, the remaining words should be 'Flame!!'. Taken together, it's 'Om! Not empty, light shines through!Mahamudra!flame!, please!'. In this literal sense, the picture seems to teach people to use the Mahamudra of Flame. And the seal that the Buddha knotted should be the Flame Mahamudra. Or rather, exactly. It should be called ...... Sun Wheel Seal!" Fang Zhixing stared at the great sun behind the Buddha in the picture, and thought secretly in his heart. Thinking of this point of "heavenly fire" in the hexagram, he was quite happy in his heart.

The Sun Wheel Seal is one of the Tantric Nine-Character Secret Seals, thinking that he may get this legendary seal method, Fang Zhixing is also quite excited, but then he has doubts again, and said secretly: "It is said that the Sun Wheel Seal is to recite the Great Day Nyorai mantra, but this missing light is true...... What's going on with the Great Light Mantra, could it be that this seal method is not the Sun Wheel Seal, but another similar seal method?" "The Esoteric Sect inheritance is extremely secret, not to mention outsiders, even most of the Esoteric disciples, and they don't know how many secret methods there are in the sect, and there are seals similar to the Sun Wheel Seal, which is really strange.

"No matter what, I've never seen the wheel seal that day, and I don't know how to practice it, so I still follow this day...... If you really can't do it, then find a way to deduce the Sun Wheel Seal according to this. Fang Zhixing thought in his heart. This seal is derived from the image of the Great Ri Rulai, and it is quite similar to the legendary Sun Wheel Seal, so Fang Zhixing temporarily named it "The Great Sun Seal" to distinguish it. Then I calmed down and explored the practice method of the Great Nippinichi seal.

"The phrase 'not empty, the light shines through' in this mantra should not only refer to the coming of the great day, but also to explain the requirements for the practice of sealing, and it should mean that the basis of this practice of printing is to comprehend the meaning of light. Although I have not received the supreme lineage of Mahamudra, I have been able to enter the light by chance, and I have met the requirements for the practice of this seal. But what does this 'flame' mean? Do you have to visualize the flame in your mind?" Fang Zhixing wondered in his heart. Immediately, he remembered the "heavenly fire" obtained by the hexagram, and said: "The heavenly fire is also a flame, and this image is hidden in the "Interpretation of the Great Nikkei", which should be visualizing the sun in my mind." But where can I find this visualization map?"

The method of visualization is quite wonderful, and although Fang Zhixing has not practiced it, he also knows some key points. The reason why these people are willing to abandon a Qiē to follow Wang Chongyang to become a monk is because they were enlightened by Wang Chongyang's method in the pavilion. Among these methods, there is a peculiar method of cultivating the "skeleton view", which allows people to see the skeleton to become enlightened, to realize life through death, to understand the illusion of life, the falsehood of life, and finally to put aside the disputes in the world, put aside the wine and wealth, put aside the family relationship, enter the Tao, and pursue the path of eternal truth. However, this method is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may sink into it, so Wang Chongyang did not pass it down, and since him, no one in the Quanzhen Sect has learned this method. Even if Fang Zhixing was able to practice now, he couldn't get it, and he only heard these things from his master Hao Datong.

"Although I was able to settle down, I had never been exposed to the method of visualization, so if I had imagined the sun by myself, I would have a high chance of failing because of the hollowness of the content, and if I succeeded, I might have an unforeseen situation. This is too risky, or try to seal, chant mantras, and settle down, I have innate skills in the body, the combination of essence and spirit is extremely dense, and it is not difficult to integrate the three secrets of body secret, mouth secret, and intention secret. Fang Zhixing thought in his heart. (To be continued......)
