Chapter 1046: Bathing Offerings
The saddest thing for people is that they have no money, which is a very realistic thing, you can get a good life guarantee with money, you need money for children's education, money for medical life, money for buying a house, and you can't live without money.
There was once a person who said the mantra of the Ox King God, and he said that if there was no cause of charity in the previous life, the Bodhisattva would not be able to help him become rich, so he should give more in this life and reverse his karma.
Some people who listen to the Dharma feel very confused, they are now exhausted, where can they have money or things to give, if so, what is the point of practicing the Dharma?
This person did not understand the original wish of the Ox King God Zhutian at all.
It is precisely because there is no cause for charity that sentient beings feel poverty and hardship in this life, which is a lack of blessing.
The Ox King Shenzhu Tian said the mantra to himself in front of the Buddha, the purpose of which is to increase the blessings of these sentient beings, enrich the door, and thus enter the righteous concentration.
If, according to what he said, the blessings of the beings of the Hungry Ghost Dao are not as great as ours, they are greedy for karma and thus fall into the Hungry Ghost Dao, and we bless the food and charity in the name of the Divine Mantra, the hungry ghost can eat food, and after eating, he can turn to the Heavenly Dao, and he will not suffer from the hungry ghost, and the hungry ghost has not given charity, why can he get rid of suffering?
When we recite mantras, we can use the power of mantras to bless ourselves and eliminate the greedy karma of our past lives, so that we can gain wealth, and with that we can make alms, make offerings to the Three Jewels, and other good deeds, and even other bodhisattva vows.
In the Golden Light Sutra of the Most Victorious King, the Vaishing Jewel of the Heavenly King Dharani Dharma is like this, the person who holds the mantra, repents and practices, can first see the son of the Heavenly King, and thus get the Heavenly King and the Crown Prince to come and give money every day, and with the money, in addition to using it for his own life, buying a house, buying a car, seeing a doctor, and solving all his needs, he must use it to make offerings to the Three Jewels and give to the poor, so that he will gradually enter the right concentration, and even see the King of Bishamen in person, and attain the attainment of Siddhi.
And the wish power of every heavenly good god is the same, and they all wish to do the same, but if they can do it without repentance, without doubt, and sincerely worship and practice for three years, they will definitely get great wealth, but once they have a retreating heart, it will be difficult to achieve the mantra.
The Great Sage Huanxitian himself is a very special existence in the heavens, in places such as Nepo, many shops will worship him, regard him as the god of wealth, and he also has a special priesthood, that is, he can be used as a god of guardians or gatekeepers.
And to practice the Dharma of Joyful Heaven, you must add the mantra of the Eleven-faced Guanyin or the Mantra of King Jundalita, because if you have some mistakes in some places, and the Joyful Heaven is angry with you, you will be very sad, and the mantra of these two Buddha-figures can restrain the Joyful Heaven, so that he can only bless you, and cannot punish and hinder you, which is also where the compassion of the Buddha and Bodhisattva lies, just like if you are a Tang monk, because you can recite the mantra, Sun Monkey has to obey the order to protect his feelings.
There are actually dozens of mantras about the joyful heaven, and the practice method of each mantra is also different in the place, which is also one of the very important methods in Tang Mili, but those secret mantra mudra rituals, only Tang Mi Ajali who has completed the four preliminaries can get a glimpse of their appearance.
In the Tripitaka Sutra Vinaya Nadhi Yoga Siddhi Secrets, Hanguang Acharya says:
Ancient and modern teachers.
The reason for the deep secret is not contained in the scriptures.
Or the truth is not obvious.
The last generation of scholars was mostly hindered.
That's why Master Hanguang never became a monk of empty wisdom.
Only then did they receive the secret meaning of this law.
Let's still talk about it today.
In order to protect from being stolen and destroyed by outsiders, the Buddha's time to the Tang Dynasty and even the later translation teachers or Acharya would not record and circulate in the form of words, or only write the mantra, but not the method of practice, mudras, etc., for example, the Peacock Dharma has a peacock flying mantra, only its name is not known, and almost no one in the country knows the root of this mantra.
Feeling that many sentient beings in the last generation were hindered, Hanguang Acharya personally heard this profound tantric method from the non-empty Acharya, and wrote it down and circulated it.
There are many classics in the Tang Mi that are indeed not found in the Tripitaka that we see today, just like the filthy Vajra mudra, which has been passed down face-to-face for thousands of years, and the master teaches it face-to-face.
On this day, you can make offerings to the Joyful Heavens, keep your homework unchanged, and after doing your homework or doing good deeds every day, you can dedicate this merit to the Joyful Heavens, wishing him to increase his heavenly blessings, multiply his prestige, and become a Buddha as soon as possible, and ask him to bless yourself and fulfill his wishes.
This is a relatively common method of cultivating Huanxitian, just offering Huanxitian, you must offer carrots, wine, and dumplings (similar to rice cakes, Huanxitian likes it) This is a more suitable practice for everyone.
To diligently read the Heart Sutra Diamond Sutra back and forth to make offerings to the heavens, the Heart Sutra is the Dharma of the Prajna Division, and the Prajna Department also has a secret practice, and those who can practice the Heart Sutra must have the support of the sixteen Prajna gods and their dependents, and the Eastern Secret Dharma, after the Dharma will be recited, just to fill the gap and make the deity happy.
As for the Diamond Sutra, it is the back door that Shakyamuni Buddha prepared to open for us today, especially those who want to practice tantric teachings.
Many people are not able to obtain the lineage, or they do not practice the Dharma, and it is difficult for the deity to come and support it.
If you want the heavenly deity to come to your house to live permanently, just enshrine the statue of the deity and the Diamond Sutra together, and the Diamond Sutra will come to worship all the celestial beings in the world wherever the Diamond Sutra is, and scatter flowers to make offerings, as long as it is the Celestial Division, there is no one who does not come.
And Shakyamuni Buddha also said that the heavens like to hear the Prajna Sutra, reciting the Diamond Sutra has immeasurable merit and incredible merit, you can recite the Diamond Sutra for your cultivation of the Diamond Sutra to him, he can increase the light and virtue, joy is immeasurable, the heavens are not as negative as humanity, there is kindness and retribution, you let him increase the light and virtue, he will come to bless and receive you, there is a request.
The effect achieved by cultivating tantra can also be achieved by reciting the Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra to return to the heavenly deity.
The second method of cultivation is to ask for two Dharma appearances, one of the eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, one of the joyful heaven, the eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara statue can be slightly larger, the joyful day is placed in front of the Bodhisattva, the offering remains unchanged, and then you need to recite the eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara mantra, you can prepare two clean basins, the size depends on your own offering table, one is filled with enough water, first recite the eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara mantra one hundred and eight times, and then ask the eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara statue to be placed in another basin from the offering table, and use a clean spoon to scoop water to bathe the Bodhisattva one hundred and eight times。
