"What are these two things?" Director Jiang and Gu Zhenduo were both curious: "Can they make you so happy?"

"Is there anything else you don't know?" Master Tenzin became even more proud.

"Say it quickly! Stop selling your plateau pass!" the master laughed and scolded.

"Hahaha..." Master Tenzin stretched out his hand and made an excuse to explain, placing the box in front of his position, making it clear that if Zhou Zhi went back on his word, he would violently protect the Dharma: "The full name of this thing should be called the Seven Treasures Thangka Spiritual Object Offering Treasure

letter."

"It's a pity that this is only the outermost layer. Originally, there should be two layers of silver and gold treasures inside. The inner part is the spiritual pagoda. Spiritual objects will be enshrined in the spiritual pagoda, usually the relics and relics of great virtues from previous lives."

After finishing speaking, Heshi said: "But thangka is a mineral pigment, and the thangka outside this treasure letter is attached to the leather."

"It is thought that leather will shrink and swell when exposed to cold, heat, dryness and moisture. As time goes by, it will easily weather and fall off if you are not careful. It is really rare that this five-sided leather thangka can be so perfectly preserved."

"The main reason may be that it is covered with a layer of tattooed leather and is also coated with glue paint to create a perfect protective environment, so the five-sided thangka is preserved." Zhou Zhi thought about it and felt

There should be this relationship.

This treasure letter may indeed have such a function, so it was used by the previous owner to store used calligraphy, paintings and paper. According to the fourth cousin, the calligraphy and paintings became broken before being put into the box. On the contrary, they remained in good condition after being put into the box.

Well, whether it was a coincidence or intentional, I have to say that this treasure letter is indeed a treasure.

Master Tenzin also nodded. He also felt that this was the case at the time, and continued: "The accessories of the treasure letter include chalcedony, beeswax, trigonellae, pearls, coral, gold, and silver. These are the treasures of Tibetan Buddhism."

The "Seven Treasures of the West" first came from the Amitabha Sutra translated by Kumarajiva."

"Among the seven treasures, the light and color emitted by gold and silver have the function of preventing disasters. They not only represent health and longevity, but are also a symbol of wisdom and purity."

"In some classics, chalcedony is made of colored glaze. It is the incarnation of the Medicine Buddha. It can eliminate diseases and avoid evil, persevere, inspire wisdom and bring good fortune."

"Coral symbolizes calmness, intelligence, peace and good luck."

"Amber can calm the mind, soothe the five internal organs, clarify the mood, and calm the soul. It corresponds to the three Buddhist disciplines of precepts, concentration, and wisdom."

"In ancient times, it was believed that the clam is the whitest thing in the world, which naturally represents purity and firmness."

"The formation process of pearls is similar to that of relics, so they naturally represent perfect enlightenment."

"It turns out that there are so many details about these decorations." Zhou Zhi had almost no knowledge in this area, but he listened with great interest.

"In the picture on the top, the Buddha in the middle is in the meditation mudra with his left hand and the earth mudra with his right hand. This is the living Buddha Sakyamuni."

"The picture on the front of the treasure letter, holding a medicine bowl in the left hand and a plant in the right hand, is what we just said, the chalcedony among the seven treasures is its incarnation, Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata."

"The remaining three faces look evil, which is called the wrathful face. The most important one is the four-armed Mahakala."

"The four-armed Mahakala has a black and blue body, four arms on one side, three wide-open red eyes, hair rising like calamity fire, and eyebrows blazing like flames. He wears a five-skull crown on his head, with half vajra and snake ornaments, decorated with blood.

The human head is used as a necklace, the body is solemnly decorated with snakes and bones, and a tiger skin skirt is worn."

"With four arms, he holds a sword in his right hand, a halberd in his left hand, and a Garbala bowl in his main arm. He is majestic, heroic and mighty. He sits in a wish-fulfilling posture and lives on the lotus sun disk corpse seat. The surrounding flames are burning like calamity fire."

"Pursuing offerings to Mahakala and all Dharma protectors can help you avoid demonic obstacles and karma, especially those caused by anger."

"The appearance of anger is to subdue one's own inner demons, and it also expresses freedom from fear and hesitation to benefit all sentient beings. It is nothing more than the manifestation of compassion and compassion. Staying in the flames means invincibility. It means stepping on human corpses.

, indicating that troubles and karma have been completely eliminated.”

"The four-armed Mahakala takes over the body, speech, mind, merit, career, and wisdom of all Buddhas, and serves as the protector of those who practice the Supreme Bliss Vajra Tantra."

"I understand." Zhou Zhi also bowed to Vajra Heshi.

"This side is Chakrasamvara," Master Tenzin turned the treasure letter to one side: "Chakrasamvara, also known as Shangle Vajra, called 'Dengqiao' in Tibetan, is the deity of the Tibetan Secret Supreme Yoga Tantra.

, is the basis of the vajra body, speech, and mind of the Buddhas of the three generations, is the collective representative of the merits of all Buddhas, and is also one of the five deities enshrined in the Tibetan Secret Supreme Yoga practice."

"There are four shapes of Chakrasamvara. The current one has four faces of the main deity, all of which are angry. The front is like wearing a skull crown, a skull-head necklace hanging around the ankle, and the legs are decorated with turquoise and agate inlays.

Yingluo, the left foot is on the Brahmin god

The goddess of time, with her right foot on Shiva, the main Hindu god, holds Vajrayana in her whole arm, and holds a magic weapon in the remaining arm. Vajrayana holds a knife in one hand and a bowl in the other hand, embracing the Lord's neck, with a facial expression that seems angry but not angry.

The figure behind the statue is like an elephant skin with arms stretched out."

"The standing posture of Chakrasamvara and the lotus seat under his feet represent renunciation from the world;"

"The sun on the lotus symbolizes the universal light and omniscience;"

"The four heads respectively represent the four causes and merits of gain, relief from disaster, respect and love, and subjugation;"

"Three eyes on each side means the ability to observe the past, present and future three lives;"

"The skull crown represents impermanence and bravery; the half-moon above the head represents human happiness;"

"The double diamonds on the top of the head represent the twins of method and wisdom;"

"The tiger skin around the waist symbolizes fearlessness and bravery; the long rosary represents all Buddhist scriptures;"

"The twelve hands symbolize the method of overcoming the twelve kinds of dependent origination."

"The blue color of the Buddha's body represents the 'qi' in the human body, the red color of the Buddha's mother represents the 'blood', and the embrace represents the human body law of 'qi and blood interdependence'."

"The two feet represent the two truths of truth and secularity."

"Standing on the goddess of freedom and time, it symbolizes the non-dual nirvana at the two poles of transcendence and annihilation."

"The five skulls on the headdress represent the Buddhas of the five directions. The hand ornaments, necklaces, belts, etc. symbolize the immeasurable merits of the six levels of Taoism and fruition."

"Vajra Haimu, naked, symbolizes what Buddhism calls 'pure and untainted'. Her right hand is raised, waving a crescent sword to show that she cuts off the suffering of ignorant desires."

"Wonderful..." After listening to Master Tenzin's explanation, the originally scary wrathful Vajra statue no longer looked scary. Instead, it became a bit solemn, a bit compassionate, and a bit mysterious.

It's really wonderful.

Master Tenzin continued to explain: “In the Supreme Yoga Tantra system, Chakrasamvara is the most important deity of the Gelug Sect. Devoting and practicing Chakrasamvara with devotion can purify the karma of the body, speech, and mind of all living beings.

"By receiving the blessings of merits and virtues from all Buddhas and the empowerment of their meanings, we can achieve the merits and virtues of Buddhas, reveal the wisdom of equality, and quickly realize the Buddha's own nature."

"In the Supreme Tantra, which belongs to the Mother Tantra, Shengle is also revered as the King of the Mother Tantra and the master of billions of dakinis."
