Chapter 618: The Beginning of the Heaven and Earth of the Inheritance Mark (5)

Asura is the legendary emperor, and the people of the Soul Continent also call it Asuluo, Asoro, Asura, Asura, Asuluo, Axulun, Asulun, etc. No matter how non-heavenly, non-homogeneous, improper, and not Dionysian he was in the Soul Continent at the beginning. They are one of the six realms of the immortal realm, the six realms - the Heavenly Dao, the Humanity, the Asura Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, the Animal Dao, and the Hell Dao.

One of the gods of the Eight Divisions of the Celestial Dragon, it is said to be a celestial god, but it does not have the good deeds of the celestial gods, and it has similarities with the ghosts. It is said to be a ghost, but it has the power of a god.

It is said that it is a human being, although it has the seven emotions and six desires of people, but it also has the power and viciousness of gods and ghosts. Therefore, it is a monster that is not a god, a ghost, a non-human, between a god, a ghost, and a human, and the asura was originally one of the ancient gods, regarded as an evil god, belonging to the fierce and aggressive ghost gods, who often fought endlessly with the emperor.

Asura has been recorded in ancient books that the ancient monks at that time called it Feitian, and his results were extraordinary, and he could live as blissfully as a celestial man, but he did not have the virtue of a celestial man, and he was fond of fighting. Asura is also known as the god of non-drinking, and there is an allusion. It is said that the asuras, who lived at the bottom of the sea, were originally very fond of drinking, but because they drank sake made from seawater, which always tasted salty and bitter, they vowed never to drink again.

Because there are many Asura kings, their shapes are different, and the image of the Asura kings is also variously said, some have nine heads and a thousand eyes, fire in their mouths, nine hundred and ninety hands, eight legs, and their bodies are four times higher than Mount Meru, some have two thousand heads and two thousand hands, step on the sea, and their bodies are more than Mount Meru, and some have three heads and six arms, three sides are blue and black, and they are angry and naked. These images are difficult to express, and painters often paint with three eyes on one side or six arms on three sides, or four eyes and four arms, holding the sun and moon in their hands, standing on the sea with their feet on their feet, and crossing Mount Meru.

It was recorded in the "Records of Experiences and Experiences" that when the world had just formed the mountains and seas, the playful immortals in the light and sound sky went to the world to play. One of the immortals was bathing in the sea when he gave birth to an egg due to the water spirit entering his body. After 8,000 years, this flesh egg finally gave birth to a female monster, as long as Mount Meru, with 1,000 eyes, 24 feet, and 999 heads, mouths, and hands.

The female monster then gave birth to a male monster named Vima, because of the incomparable power to come and go freely to heaven and earth, so after seeing that there are countless beauties around the celestial people, they also want to marry a wife. The female monster proposed to the beautiful Gandharva on behalf of her son, and the Gandharva readily agreed to the marriage, and the Asura clan became more and more prosperous. Vima's amorous daughter made the Heavenly Emperor Shakti, who already had hundreds of millions of wives and concubines, fall in love with her and marry her as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, after the emperor released his marriage, he liked the new and hated the old, and the Asura woman told her father about it, triggering an unprecedented war. Just as the Asura surrounded Mount Meru, where Shakti lived, Shakti remembered that the Buddha had said that if he encountered great trouble, he could crack the ghost soldiers by reciting the Prajnaparamita mantra. Sure enough, with a spell, four large sword wheels suddenly flew out of the air, almost cutting off the hands and feet of the Asura King. However, the war between the celestials and the asuras has not come to an end!

After many years, Shakti fell in love with the daughter of a Raja Asura again, so he ordered the celestial god of music to bring a dowry, and threatened to lure Raja Ra into marriage through songs. Unexpectedly, Luo Yuluo was angry that Emperor Shitian deceived people too much, not only expelled the god of music from the palace, but also immediately sent troops to attack the celestials. Just when the brave and warlike Asura captured the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor Shakti recalled the last curse, so the Asura army was killed and retreated, so they had to retreat into the lotus root to hide. Just after the Emperor had taken all the asura women captive, Raja sent an envoy to negotiate, pointing out that as a disciple of the Buddha, the Emperor Shakti should not commit the precepts of stealing. After several negotiations, the two sides finally reached several agreements, in which Shakti admitted to committing the theft vows and was willing to return the asura woman and give him heavenly nectar, while the asura offered his beloved daughter to the emperor and voluntarily took the three refuges and five precepts to become a disciple of the Buddha. In the war of the heavenly realm, when an asura king fought against Shakti, he was called Rajra Asura because his hand could hold the sun and moon and obscure its light. He was able to obstruct the sun and the moon with his hands to form a solar and lunar eclipse, because when he was a brahmin in his past life, he saw a great fire burning the tower and extinguished the fire so that the tower would not be damaged. However, despite this wish, he still did not believe in the Dharma and often loved to fight, so he fell into the asura path after his death.

There are many asura kings, the most famous of which are the four major asura kings: one is called Bhayazhi, which means Yongjian, and is the former commander of the Asura army that fought against Shakti, one is called Luo Qianda, which means roaring like thunder, also known as broad shoulders, because of its broad shoulders, it can make the sea turbulent and roar like thunder, one is called Vimalitara, which means wreath, and has nine heads, each with a thousand eyes, nine hundred and ninety hands, eight legs, and spits fire from his mouth, and the other is called Rahu, which means to cover the obstacles, because he can cover the light of the sun and the moon with his giant hands. Each asura king commands over thousands of asuras, called asuras, or asuras. The Buddhist scriptures also say: The asura man is ugly, and the asura woman is upright and beautiful.

From the six realms of reincarnation, there are the asura paths, the six realms are the one day path, the two asuras, the three paths, the four animal paths, the five hungry ghost paths, and the six hell paths.

Humanity and the Heavenly Way are good paths, and the Asura is one of the good paths by nature, but because they often have a heart of hatred and a will to fight, they are not truly good in the end. In the midst of the various paths, the male asuras often stirred up wind and waves, fought bravely and ruthlessly, and attacked the heavenly king from time to time in the heavens in order to seize the throne.

The female asura is beautiful and often confuses sentient beings and makes it difficult for them to practice. Therefore, although the asura does not have to suffer, but after death there is a great chance of falling into the three evil paths, so it is gradually listed as the evil path, the blessed and immoral asura path, the asura path known for its belligerence, because of the blessing but not the virtue, some say that he is only included in the ghosts and gods, or the fallen celestials, Northern Buddhism will include him in the good path, and Southern Buddhism will classify him in the evil path. Blessing is like a heavenly man, and virtue is not a heavenly man.

The Heavenly Path, the Asura Path, and the Humane Path are the Three Good Paths, and the Beasts, Hungry Ghosts, and Regions are the Three Evil Paths, and among the Six Paths, only the Humane and Animal Paths are corporeal and in the same space. The other realms are invisible and cannot be seen. Those who are destined may be able to perceive it. Each province has a level point, and it will be reported according to the cause. Sow good causes, reap good results. The so-called so-called evil cause and evil effect, what you suffer are all done by yourself.

Those who are reborn in the assura path, although they have not done any great evil deeds in their past lives, are very contemptuous, very proud, and either look down on others or are jealous that others are better than themselves. Including the slight evil of the body, the slight evil of the mouth, the slight evil of the intention, the arrogance, the slow of the self, the slow increase, the slow of the increase, the slow of the evil, the slow and the return to the roots of goodness. Due to the traction of karma, asura can be divided into four lives: fetus, egg, wetness, and incarnation.

The oviparous is in the ghost path, and can use its power to show its supernatural powers into the air; the viviparous is in the human realm, and the reason for reincarnation is that it was originally in the heavenly path, but it was degraded because of its descent; the wet born is in the animal path, living at the mouth of the water hole, swimming in the void, and returning to the water at dusk; the incarnate is in the heavenly path, and the birth is talked about.

The rakshasa is also the jailer of hell, and his duty is to condemn sinners. It is also known as Apang, Apan Rakshasa , Afang and Bean. There are many kinds of shapes, such as bull heads, or bull hooves, very strong, or deer heads, sheep heads, rabbit heads, etc. However, in Buddhist texts, the rakshasa vows to protect the Dharma and the Dharma practitioners, and often becomes the patron saint of Buddhism, and often participates in puja ceremonies and follows the Buddha's joyful practice.

The above-mentioned types of rakshasas of evil spirits are also transformed into the guardian deities of Buddhism in the scriptures, called rakshasa heaven, which is one of the twelve heavens. They were in the form of god-kings, dressed in armor, holding swords in their hands, and riding white lions. It is also like the ten rakshasas, that is, the guardian gods mentioned in the Lotus Sutra Dharanipin. 02

Yaksha is the name of a ghost, and it is very fast, the male Yaksha is agile and fast, and at the same time very ugly, and the female is also very agile and fast, powerful, but beautiful. There are many types, such as empty nakshatras, ground nakshatras, and so on.

The Yaksha has two wings, and it can fly in the air, and it is ever-changing, sometimes red, sometimes blue, sometimes yellow, whatever the color, there is a dark light, and this light is very powerful. His body sometimes took on the form of a human animal, or the head of a cow, or the head of a horse, in short, it was terrifying, and he loved to cause trouble.

The Yaksha was even more terrifying, his hair was shining with green flames, several feet high, burning like a candle. His eyes, one on the top door and the other on the chin, were strangely shaped, some triangular and some half-moon-shaped. His nose, one hole facing the sky and the other facing the ground, resembles the tentacles of a snail, sometimes outstretched and sometimes retracted. His ears, one in front and one in the back, were so horrible that people trembled with fear when they saw them. He doesn't like to help people, and he likes to scatter harm.

With the appearance of the divine dog Di Ting, the four major families of Ke, Wu, Liu, and Luo in the Tianjue Ancient City in the northern part of the Gulling Continent took dogs as pets, love things, and treasures to raise, in order to seek smooth wind and rain, abundant harvest, four seasons of peace, and longevity. From the shape of the truth, one of its horns is a symbol of being able to receive the information of the universe, as if it is used for antennas; the other can play the purpose of protective insurance, its dog ears are to listen to the audio of the universe, transmitted to the believer to distinguish between right and wrong, its dragon body is shown to be auspicious, its tiger head represents wisdom and bravery, there are difficulties to move forward bravely, never give in, its lion tail means patience, ambition, do anything to insist is victory, its unicorn foot is regarded as peaceful, and people are kind, get along in harmony, and good for the treasure.

Di Ting looks like a dragon is not a dragon, like a tiger is not a tiger, like a lion is not a lion, like a unicorn is not a unicorn, like a dog is not a dog, is a sign in people's imagination, the monks of the Soul Continent are also called nine unlike, that this thing is stained with nine qi, that is, aura, spirit, blessing, wealth, sharpness, luck, vitality, strength and backbone. It can play the role of warding off evil spirits, eliminating disasters, blessings, and protecting oneself.

Some devout Buddhists even believe that if they are exposed to the aura of the truth, they will make the family fortune prosperous and the foundation will be evergreen, and that the younger generations will thrive and grow up to become sincere, sage, wise, enlightened, enlightened, and long-lived. Adults carry it and their dreams come true!
