Chapter 1121: Stirring the Sea of Milk
If you want money, you want to be poor, you want everything that mortals can reasonably ask for, you can offer and recite the mantra of the great auspicious goddess, the great auspicious goddess will be merciful to give, and for many people to misunderstand the heavenly deity is not the end, the scriptures directly clear and domineering response, as long as you can receive the great auspicious goddess mantra, you can get the Buddha's inscription, the great auspicious goddess is also the mother mantra of all bodhisattvas.
In the primitive mythology of India, the birth of the Great Auspicious Celestial Maiden is associated with the Milk Sea. She was born sitting on a lotus with a lotus in her hand, hence the name of "Daughter of the Milk Sea", and later became the wife of Vishnu.
Legend has it that there is an elixir of immortality, called nectar of immortality, which is hidden in the sea of milk at the bottom of Mount Meru. Mount Meru stands right in the middle of the earth, and its peaks reach into the sky, making it impossible for mortals to climb.
Mt. Meru is a wonderful treasure mountain with a variety of exotic flowers and plants, streams and waterfalls, and sparkling gems on the cliffs.
The palatial palaces of the deities are located on this wonderful hill where the deities, asuras, gandharvas, and abbharas all live carefree. They often entertain and frolic in the jungle where flowers bloom and birds sing.
At that time, although the gods lived much longer than mortals, they also had birth, old age, sickness and death. One day, on Mount Meru, when everyone got together, there was a heated argument about the issue of disease and aging.
How can we avoid sickness and death, and stay young forever? In the end, it was agreed that the gods and the asuras would stir the milk sea together, and the nectar of immortality would be evenly distributed from it.
They were going to use the snake king Vasuki as a rope and Mount Meru as a stirring stick. Mt. Meru is more than 12,000 miles above the ground, and the depth of the part buried in the ground is also comparable. The gods and the asuras tried to work together to pull up Mount Meru, but failed.
So they turned to Brahma and Vishnu for help. These two great gods sent the great serpent Shasha, the brother of the king of Nawan. The Great Snake Shasha had immeasurable strength, and it wrapped its body around the majestic Mount Meru several times, and then with one force, it pulled up the entire mountain, the forests and wild beasts on the mountain.
The gods and the asuras came to the beach with Mount Meru and the snake king Vasuki. They begged the water god Valouna to let them stir the sea of milk and obtain the nectar of immortality.
The god of water agreed, but asked for his share of the nectar that had been stirred. The gods and the asuras also asked the turtle king who carried the world on his back to sink to the bottom of the sea. As a fulcrum for stirring the sea of milk. The Turtle King asked the gods and the Asura to put Mount Mandora on their backs and sink to the bottom of the sea.
Everyone used the Vasuki snake as a rope to wrap around the mountainside. The asura grabbed the head of the serpent, and the gods grabbed the tail of the serpent, and the action of stirring the sea of milk began.
This stirring is hundreds of years. The gods and the asuras took turns dragging the serpent. With each pull, a puff of smoke and flames came out of Shekou, and the asuras who grabbed Shekou were exhausted.
And the smoke rises into the air and becomes a dark cloud, and when the cloud floats along the snake's body to the snake's tail, it becomes rain and makes the gods refreshed.
In this way, the huge work was carried out day by day, and the Mandora Mountain made a thunderous roar as it turned, and the trees and beasts of the mountain often fell into the sea as they swirled. The flames created by the friction enveloped Mt. Mandora, and the trees on the mountain set fire to death, and countless birds and animals were burned to death.
And when the heavy rain extinguished the fire and washed the sap from the mountains into the sea, it increased the potency of the nectar.
In the midst of the hot flames and pouring rain, the asuras and the gods kept turning the stirring rods, and the sea of milk was repeatedly stirred and congealed into grease. But it was still very early before the nectar appeared.
Suddenly, Laksmi, the goddess of happiness dressed in white, appeared on the sea, radiant and beautiful, to the amazement of the gods and asuras.
The goddess approached Vishnu and became his wife. After Lakshmi, out of the sea came the wonderful Ab Prize Lo Lan Ba, who was snatched away by Gandharva, the leader of Ab Rak Ra and the most beautiful fairy among them.
Subsequently, out of the sea of milk came the god of wine, Shura. The gods accepted him, and Dithiya and Zanabana abandoned him, and it is said that because of this, the gods were also called Shura, and Dithiya and Sonava were called Asura.
Later, a miraculous white horse, Ucai Shiropo, appeared in the sea. It was quick-witted and adopted by the Celestial Emperor Indra.
Then a magic stone that shimmered like the sun flew out of the milk sea. It became an ornament on the chest of Lord Vishnu.
The rainbow-like white elephant Irabatta that followed became Indra's mount.
Then there was another kind of magical tree - Parrijata. The fragrant flowers of its bloom were also taken away by Indra.
The last person to emerge from the sea of milk was the divine physician Sobandari, who held a bowl full of elixirs.
After these treasures were found in the sea, the sea of milk was coming to an end. At this time, a terrible and highly toxic substance appeared on the surface of the sea, and as a result of this poisonous substance, the universe was facing destruction. The gods, the asuras, and all living beings were terrified and turned to Lord Shiva for help.
In order to save the universe, Shiva swallowed these poisons, which were too toxic. Shiva's neck was all burned. Since then, Shiva is also called Nirakanda, which means the green-throated one.
The great heavens drink poison for all beings
In the Vishnu Purana, it is written:
Gandharva sang for her under the leadership of Vishvarvasu and Abu Shalau danced for her under the leadership of Gritasi. The Ganges and other rivers rushed towards her with bathing water. The elephant of the four directions lifted the pure water in the gold vessel and bathed the supreme goddess of the Three Realms.
The sea of milk, transformed into a human form, offered her a wreath of lotus flowers that would never fade, and Vishivakalmar created fragrance for her holy body. She bathed herself, put on the garlands and gowns of heaven, put on her jewelry, and came to her chest under the gaze of the gods.
O O Immortals, Lakshmi perched on the chest of Hali, and the gods just looked at them and felt supreme joy.
The Khari here is Vishnu, not the Mother of the Buddha.
The twelve heavens of Buddhism are introduced from Hindu mythology, which says that the great auspicious goddess appears from the sea of milk.
The three-phase god Shiva, Vishnu, Parvati, the wife of King Brahma, the auspicious goddess, and the witting goddess are all in the supreme position of the Mother of the Three Realms and the Mother of the World, and their status is far more noble than all the other heavenly medicine fork rakshasas.
Therefore, in the mandala of the great auspicious goddess, the Brahman and the emperor Shakti are her dependents, and they are offered as attendants on the left and right.
Generally speaking, sutra and tantra have different revelations about the identities of the saints, because the deeper you go into the tantra, the more you can see their true locality.
