Chapter 385 The Great Japanese Seal (1)

"Tanishism is indeed a Tantric Buddhism, and it never puts the best methods into words. Although there are many things in the "Interpretation of the Great Sun Sutra", there is no inheritance of the martial arts. What I thought about is from it as a reference, and it is indeed a delusion." Fang Zhixing thought in his mind after reading the fourteen volumes of the "Interpretation of the Great Sun Sutra". He obtained the hexagram and inspiration, and carefully read the works compiled by a series of disciples, but did not see any martial arts in it, so he could only sigh.

But even so, Fang Zhixing was not very disappointed, because although he had not found the technique, he also gained a lot of gains. He opened the "Explanation of the Great Sun Scholar" again, stared at a pattern on the page, and thought to himself: "This page of paper is quite different from the other pages, and it seems to be carried on it. Moreover, the image on it is so detailed and there are some traces of rubbing, which must be some origin. If I can really gain anything from the "Explanation of the Great Sun Scholar", I am afraid I will fall on this picture."

Looking intently, I saw a Buddha sitting cross-legged on a lotus, with his hands sealed, wearing five Buddha crowns or hair crowns on his head, and his garlands and jewelry were decorated with jewels and textures, which were lifelike. A round halo behind the Buddha, which was as dazzling as the sun. And behind this picture, there was a Sanskrit text, which seemed to be a mantra of light.

"The Great Sun Tathagata has the names of Mahavirajana, Vairocana, all over the world, and the light is the most fundamental deity of the Tantric Buddhism. This light mantra is also called the Great Sun Mantra, the mantra of the Great Sun Tathagata. In this way, the Buddha on this picture is obviously the Great Sun Tathagata. But the Light Mantra is used to eliminate sins, and it does not come from the Great Sun Sutra. This passage appears here. It is definitely not for no reason." Fang Zhixing thought in his heart based on what he had known before. Thinking about this, he calmed down and recited the Light Mantra while staring at the image, hoping to have some response.

He recited the image so concentrating on it several times, but there was no response. Fang Zhixing had to stop and looked at the broken image on it. The small alarm clock said in secret: "The image is so detailed, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can do. It is mostly knitted carefully by knitting and other methods. It is also blessed. Unfortunately, the picture in front of him is a rubbing. Not only is the texture written in a lost way, but some of the possible secrets cannot be sensed. This method of reciting the mantra seems to be unworkable."

Failed to recite the mantra. Fang Zhixing could only infer from the original meaning. "The literal meaning of the mantra of Light is 'Om! The light shines everywhere! The big hand seal...' Big hand seal, Big hand seal..." Fang Zhixing murmured. He was a person who practiced the big hand seal, so he was naturally quite sensitive to it. He said the "big hand seal" several times, and then said excitedly: "Yes, it is the big hand seal. The seal made by the Buddha's hands seems to be quite different from what you see in normal times. Obviously, there is another mystery. The mantra of Light should be "lotus treasure! Flame! Please do it! Hum!", and this mantra of Light lacks the word "lotus treasure". I also

I thought it was a copying error, but now I think it was a deliberate omission. In this way, the remaining words should be 'fire! Please do! Hum!', and together they are 'Om! The light is shining everywhere! The big hand seal! Fire! Please do! Hum!'. According to this literal meaning, this picture seems to teach people to use the big hand seal of flame, and the seal made by the Buddha should be the big hand seal of flame. Or to be precise, it should be called... Sun wheel seal!" Fang Zhixing stared at the big sun behind the Buddha in the picture. He thought in his heart. Thinking about the "sky fire" in the hexagram, he was quite happy.

The Sun Wheel Seal is one of the nine-character secret seals of Tantric Buddhism. Fang Zhixing was also quite excited when he thought that he might get the legendary seal method. However, he immediately became confused and said, "It is said that the Sun Wheel Seal is to recite the heart mantra of the Great Sun Tathagata, but what is the missing light... What's the matter with the Great Light Mantra? Could it be that this seal method is not the Sun Wheel Seal, but another similar seal method?" The secret tradition of the Tantric Buddhism is extremely secret. Not to mention outsiders, even most of the Tantric Buddhism disciples do not know how many secret methods there are in the sect. There are seal methods similar to the Sun Wheel Seal, which is actually strange.

"No matter what, I have never seen the sunshine seal before, and I don't know how to practice it. I should practice it according to the method of this day...the big sunshine seal! If it really doesn't work, find a way to deduce the sunshine seal according to this." Fang Zhixing thought in his heart. This seal comes from the statue of the Great Sun Tathagata, and is quite similar to the legendary sunshine seal. Fang Zhixing temporarily named it "the big sunshine seal" to distinguish it. Then he calmed down and explored the practice methods of the big sunshine seal.

"The 'unempt and light shine everywhere' in this mantra should not only refer to the Great Sun Tathagata, but also explain the requirements for the practice of sealing. It should be that the basis of the practice of sealing is to understand the meaning of light. Although I have not obtained the highest inheritance of the Great Seal, I can already enter the Light Stomatism by chance, and it should have met the practice requirements of this sealing method. But what does this 'flame' mean? Should I visualize the flame in my mind?" Fang Zhixing said in confusion. Then he remembered the "sky fire" from the hexagram, and said: "Sky fire is also flame. This image is hidden in the "Interpretation of the Great Sun Sutra". It should have visualized the sun in my mind. But where should I find this visual image?"

The method of visualization is quite wonderful. Although Fang Zhixing has never practiced it, he also knows some key points. In addition to Qiu Chuji, the seven sons of Quanzhen were mostly from wealthy families. The reason why these people were willing to abandon everything and become monks and practice Taoism with Wang Chongyang was because they were inspired by Wang Chongyang's method in the Pavilion. Among these methods, there is a unique method of practicing Taoism of "Skeleton View", which makes people see the skeletons awakened and become aware of the illusion and falsehood of life. Finally, they will leave the disputes of the world, abandon the wine, sex, wealth, family love, and practice, and pursue the eternal true nature. However, this method is too dangerous and if you are not careful, you may sink into it. Therefore, Wang Chongyang has not been passed down. Since then, no one in the Quanzhen Sect has learned this method. Even if Fang Zhixing can practice it now, he has no way to get it. What he knows is only heard from Master Hao Datong.

"Although I can enter into samadhi, I have never been exposed to the method of visualization. If I imagine the sun directly by myself, it is not only likely that the content will fail, but it may also lead to unexpected dangers if I succeed. This is too risky. Let's try to make seals, recite mantras, and enter samadhi. I have innate skills in my body, and the combination of energy and spirit is extremely dense, the body, mouth, and mind are not difficult. If it goes well, I should be able to cultivate this seal method." Fang Zhixing thought in his heart. (To be continued)
