Induction

The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—“ists,” as he called them— who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

Verse:
〖卦语〗一重水,一重山,风波道坦然;壶中别有天。
Explanation:
〖释义〗山水各一重,当然是别有天地了,怕只怕山水相逢,那便容易造成人为的迷失和过多的阻隔。山为艮,水为坎,山高水低,上艮下坎,是为"蒙"卦。蒙卦的辞义是顺利的。并非我有求于童蒙,而是童蒙有求于我,初筮告诉他吉凶,利害得失,再三点筮的话,便是亵渎,当然不告诉了。这条签意民是如此,当风波再度袭来,宜于采取守势,只要执守正道,以山水的危峻险要,严密防守,不轻易发动攻击,就会得胜利。 壶中之物当然是指酒无疑。酒,是人类共同的朋友,可以说人人喜爱。朋友来了,好酒招待。这里告诉你,风波来了,也要用好酒待之。这就是告诉你采用和缓的方式,同样,可以使风波化解,创造出一片和平,安宁的新天地。 谈到婚姻,则不要娶这样的女子,因淡她见了有钱的男人,就不顾体统,这种婚事有害无益。如果去学习一门新的学问,后艺,从头开始,那也是吉利的。

Part 2
Verse:
〖卦语〗舟离古渡月离云,人出潼关好问津;且向前行去求往,何须疑虑两三心。
Explanation:
〖释义〗这支签,是以离卦为象薮来断明事体的。 离卦主体,主有南方之财,或有文书之喜,或有炉冶场上,或因火姓人而得财。 潼关在长安以西。黄河河套由北向南,在这里转折向东流去,为秦,晋,豫交界之地。 出潼关,便好开始着手了。当然,这里的潼关不能狭义理解为地名,这里意味着出省界。 一出省界便可以开始行动,目标还是向南。 因为你对整个事情的策划,还不够周全,而且把握不是十分足,稳操胜券还欠火候。心里总有些疑惑的顾虑。这种提忧完全没有必要,只管向前去守住心中意念。有什么不解的事和为难之处,只管向人求告,必遇火傍姓氏的人贵人,给予你有国的援助。 此签不利妇女和少女,如果你是一位未成年的少女,则千万不要离家出走,对你将大大不利,为害匪浅。

Part 3
Verse:
〖卦语〗桃李笑春风,西飞又到东;家中无意绪,船在浪涛中。
Explanation:
〖释义〗桃花红艳,李花洁白,竞相开放在荡漾的春里,沐浴着和煦的阳光,绽放出朵朵的笑魇。你像一只彩蝶,贪恋花丛,上下翻飞,洋洋自,兴味盎然,乐而忘归。 一乐忘记了你不应当忘记的一切:你的家,你的亲人,你的责任,义务,你的名声,你姓什么,叫什么? 快乐里蕴含着忧愁,风流,放纵将支使你付出难以想象的代价。你生命之舟惊涛骇浪里颠簸,摇荡,将有倾覆的危险。 你能挣扎并脱离这片苦海吗? 广义上来说,这种偏桃运是背运,因为接踵而来的是灾难。除非你不在乎声败名裂,除非你不再关心自己的亲人,不怕他(她)们受到凌辱和伤害,你当然可以不相信神灵在这支签里给你的忠告。

Verse:
〖诗曰〗八门分八位,九星布九方;青赤黄白黑,五色卷锦装。交锋对垒,两两相当。
Explanation:
〖签释〗奇门遁甲是一个复杂的占测门类,原理较难掌握。在它的排局中,有九宫,六仪,三奇,以及八门,九星信神分。这首签诗表示了它所揭示的信息,是由奇门遁甲的测算方法来提供的。八门在奇门活盘上的中盘上按顺时针方向旋转,是这样排列的:休,生伤,杜景,死,惊,开。而布于九方的九星则分别为:蓬,任,冲辅,英,芮,柱,心禽。而九星分赋以各种不同的色彩为:白黑,碧,绿,黄,白赤,白紫。八门中以五行推占事物,这里所说的交锋以垒,两两相当,便是结论:内外均有坑坎缺陷,三奇入墓为暗昧无光彩之物,美而变丑,其中火炼之物得而复失。如占婚姻,相克相冲,婚难成,成了也难以美满。不论凰求凤,还是凤求凰,皆为相克,不吉。它占部,如人口走失,失盗,疾病,讼事均为凶,愁眉不展,抑郁难伸之格局。
〖卦语〗珠玉走盘中,田园定阜丰;休言谋示遂,此去便亨通。
〖释义〗珠玉与肋,皆团圆之珍物,圆满而吉祥的征兆。预测田园土产必定丰足。阜,富足的意思。不要说目的不能达到,这回去了,一定能取得圆满成功。 西冯方向,京都大邑,形胜之地,高亢之所,可望成就。 秋,九,十月之交,戌亥年月日时,正是成功最佳时刻。 饮食禁忌:荔枝,桂园(龙眼)等圆型果品,诸物之首,海鲜及肝,胆腰等下水。 西北成名有望,大权可揽,宜入京师。 吉祥色彩:大红,玄青色。 若论婚姻,可成,大吉。

Sign of 10/3/2012

Verse:
〖诗曰〗梦里说关曲,波深下钓难,利名终有望,目下未开颜。
Explanation:
〖签释〗并曲,挫折和失败的道理。在梦中将会有人向你讲述个中原由,为什么沽名钓誉,追逐利禄那么难?  你现今的情况较艰难的财路十分短缺,正两路财源均不盛。人不愿象别人一样怨天尤人,今天,说是大气候不行,明天说是劳动模范误了我。想知道真正原因,究竟是为什么?日前有所思,夜有所梦。所以,你终于在梦中触了灵感,悟出了较为深刻的原因,那时心境当会好起来。自然会从梦中开怀笑醒。签诗中有两个字,如果忽视了,等于白抽签。这两个字是"波深"。波当然是指水,只是签诗暗藏天机不讲明罢了水深怕什么加长钓丝就是。也不是如此解。"水寒鱼不饵"才是个中关曲,水很深的地方,鱼儿自然也不大活动,夺口吞下鱼饵的事几乎没有。此事相关人中,有一水旁姓氏的朋友,此经比较厉害,江湖上颇有些名声。人的籍贯当在此地之北,望多加留意。
〖卦语〗拟欲迁而未可迁,捉防喜处惹勾连;前途若得阴人引,变化鱼龙出大渊。
〖释义〗这里所谓的迁,不仅是指搬迁,所涉的范围很广,泛指变动。包括居地,职业,服务场所,投资项目,障碍物,离家出走,婚变,迁坟等等。 回答这种变动欲念是彻底否定的:未可。 从表面上看,这种变动是有益的喜事但却会因此而带来不吉的灾祸。有时,我们常在无意之中,触犯煞而往往不明白灾自何来,岂不冤哉枉矣。 该怎么办?须听一位女贵人的指点,当然决不是指一般的女巫之类,阴人,通常就是指女性。有时候,一个女人一句莫名其妙的话,使你摸头不知脑,殊不知她竟是在指点迷津。能够让你这条鱼变化为龙的女性,姓氏毛画中当有点水旁,比如:沈、冰、洋、江、、。

Verse:
〖诗曰〗未展英雄志,驰驱不惮劳;敢将休咎卜,西北夺前标。
Explanation:
〖签释〗虽驿马星动,劳累奔波,却=收效平平,名利微微。纵有凌云壮志,目下尚不能伸,令英雄气短。个中原委,尚未能明,以下疑团结难解,便问神明。如今君提醒:方向错,满盘输,徒耗精力意难舒。你那名禄的吉祥方位在西北方向,可是你却南辕北辙,岂不空忙? 休与咎,均为预测学术语,意思是失败和小灾患。这里指卜问蹉跎的原因,并预卜发达的方向。乾所对应扩位正是西北。乾性健行,如马五行属金。这类人物刚健武勇,果决,多动少静。多为公门中人,姓氏中多带有金旁及马,剑等兵刃利器,此为扶助你的贵人,可求可交,可信可托。奔赴西北方,忌食马肉珍物及鱼禽之首,辛之物也宜少吃。保护头部五官,有小患要及时治,不可拖延时日。求财宜动,得利于门。金属物资和玉器古玩类,获利颇丰。

Part 1
Verse:
〖籤詩〗三箭開雲路,營求指日成;許多閒口語,翻作笑歌聲。
Explanation:
〖解籤一〗此籤屬機運亨通之籤,尤對謀事、創業者而言。
〖解籤二〗此籤逢凶化吉,遇難呈祥,禍之適以福之,故營求之事立成功,占者切勿因悠悠之口,自反退縮貽誤畢生。
Verse:
〖诗曰〗思量一夜,不如打干一番,若还错烦恼,伤及肺肝。
Explanation:
〖签释〗你目前处处的困境,决不是靠自己的力量所能冲破的。所以,即使是彻夜不眠,冥思苦想也于事无补。必会伤害到自己的肺和肝,积郁碾疾,甚至严重到要命的地步。"智者干虑,必有一失"你总有考虑不周的地,当心地支向人计教时,必定会有收获。那人的指点,将引你走出迷津。打干,北人读作垢干儿,是旧时的敬礼方式:右手下垂,左腿向前屈膝,右腿略弯曲。打干表达一利恭敬之意,这里引伸为请求,求教的意思。向什么人教呢?相对你的籍贯而言,这位先生是西方人氏。他性情刚烈仗义疏财;面方净,眉高眼深,鼻直耳红,声音洪亮,刚毅果决。认真想一想,你的亲朋帮旧中,有没有变样一个人?去找他求教吧。
〖卦语〗长安花,不可及;春风中,马蹄疾,急早加鞭,骤然生色。
〖释义〗春天的长安城,鲜花盛开,绚丽多彩,多么令人神往。可是,这些花可以想可以望而无法攀折在手。你朝着目的地快马加鞭,日夜兼程往前赶,却在无意之间有了一个意外的收获,使你惊喜不已。 得到的,不是所追求的,虽然不尽人意,却可以宽慰你。 古城长安(今西安市),是我国六大古都之一,签中所指的长安,不要单纯理解成今天的西安或首都北京,虚而不实,当然不会有直接的收获。 你不应在追求的过程中,慢慢吞吞,虚耗了岁月,要以最快的速度去接近目标,或许会有一个意外的收获。

Part 2
Verse:
〖籤詩〗無端風雨催春去,落盡枝頭桃李花;桃畔有人歌且笑。知君心事亂如麻。
〖解籤一〗好景不長,好花不再,避免小人挑撥壞事,幸災樂禍。
〖解籤二〗此籤主流離失所徬徨無依,如喪家之犬、若涸澈之魽,心亂如麻,情也勢也,占者務實行忍之一字,餘無他法。
Verse:
〖诗曰〗三冬足,文艺精,到头处,水亦成,急急回首,勿误前程。
Explanation:
〖签释〗你性格温良,为为人厚道,有一定的才能,却无权力。你于文艺技术,具一定的潜力,只要稍加努力,便会有成功的希望。冬天,是所有生物积蓄力量,以图再进的季节。以历了三冬的充实,积德养贤,不浮不躁,当然会在来春"不鸣则已,一鸣尺人"的。什么时候水到渠成呢?从立冬到冬至之间要经历小雪和大雪的节气,时间是45天左右。也就是说,将在冬至的前三天和后七天里,当可实现我的计划。签诗中的后两句,是告诫你要见好就收,不然会使自己陷入险境,误了自己的前程。上坎下艮,是为"蒙"卦。卦辞曰:"亨,匪我求童蒙,童蒙求我,初筮告,再三渎,渎则不千,剩贞。"蒙卦,具亨通的,且有开始教化的象征。

Verse:
〖诗曰一〗蝸角蠅頭利,而今已變通;草頭人笑汝,宜始不宜終。
Explanation:
〖签释一〗貪圖小利,成不了大事,即使想通而暫不斤斤計較,恐也有始無終,舊態復萌。
〖签释二〗此籤停辛停苦,僅積得薄貲,一旦反其素行,任意浪費,宜黃金一別,永不復還也,草頭人喻言草頭黃也,人金字上半也,合即黃金兩字,占此者務祟尚節儉。
Verse:
〖诗曰二〗佳音至,开笑颜,飞腾一去,披云上天。
Explanation:
〖签释〗抽中了这支签,你可以开心地笑,尽情地乐,因为你带来的是佳音。你心想事成,马上可以实现。不论你是求职,求学,求财,求偶,无一不是上上大吉。仿佛看见你登上舷梯,就要走进波音767的客舱。亲爱的朋友,莫非人就要出国,去大展宏图,实现生平的宏愿?这对于你还仅仅是一个开端,仅仅只是一次成功。未来的诸般滋味,千变万化,还要等着你去尝试,你应当有一个吃苦耐劳的心里准备。
〖卦语〗虎伏在路途,行人莫乱呼;路旁须仔细,灾祸自然无。
〖释义〗虎无伤人意,人莫犯虎星。这只卧伏路途的猛虎,似睡非睡,虽然没有攻击你意思,却有潜在的危险。你这个行,可要小心翼翼,不能大呼小叫,将它惊觉。当你绕过老虎的时候,一定要将脚步放轻,再放轻。绕过了这虎星,灾祸当然就让乐避开了。 签诗告诉我,在行事的全过程中,最重要的是保密,不要张杨也去,莫乱呼就是这个意思。第二是不要惊慌,沉着稳健,仔细迅速地躲过这一关,趁对方没有清醒过来,赶快绕过去。 白虎凶神,是一束星辰的总算,排列在每一年中的后四辰中,共有十二个凶煞时刻,这里简单介绍一下。子年逢申,壬申月(壬七月),申日申时。丑年逢酉(八月),酉日酉时。寅逢戌,卯逢亥,辰逢子,已逢丑,午逢寅,未逢卯,申逢辰,酉逢已,戌逢午,亥逢未。 在上述年份中逢对应的月,日,时,都是大凶的,可得留神一些。

Part 2
Verse:
〖诗曰一〗向南有大道,乘馬入杭城;不和吳人唱,更有一知音。
Explanation:
〖签释一〗含下列寓意:工作地點以南方為宜,尋訪可能得遇,交遊雖不廣,可獲知己。
〖签释二〗此籤示知音之少兼覺不易,占之者切莫濫交,更勿誤入岐途,為盛德之累。
Verse:
〖诗曰二〗黄牛辟土,大力开疆,酉戌时候,谷米盈仓。
Explanation:
〖签释〗辛勤耕耘,开创事业,正如黄牛开疆辟土一般,艰辛倍至。什么时候才有成功的一天?谷米满仓的日子不会太遥远了:酉戌。 酉鸡和戌狗,值得我们认真探讨一番。酉,地支的第十一位下午五时至七时为酉时。“就也,八月黍成,可为酎酒,酉为秋门,万物已入,一闭门象。”戌,地支的第十一位。下午七时至九时为戌时。“灭也,九月阳气微,万物毕成。阳下入地,五行属土。生于戊,盛于戌。”就年份而言,鸡年分别是:1981、93年。狗年则是非曲直1982,94年,这就预93、94这两年中将会有功成名就,宏图变为现实。远一点扒算的年代便是非年了。

Part 3
Verse:
〖诗曰一〗玉石猶終昧,那堪小悔多;終無咎,笑呵呵。
Explanation:
〖签释一〗所問諸事由於當事人之昏昧,小錯很多,但並無大礙。
〖签释二〗此籤目下常有小悔,故蘊王之石晦而不彰,但久後可保無咎,故終笑逐顏開,占者處之以鎮定應之,從容可不煩思慮矣。
Verse:
〖诗曰二〗道炎坚心,坚心炎道成。建功勋,早回程;造茅庵,修真身,一日飞升,仙班列名。
Explanation:
〖签释〗你具有得道修仙的缘分,不是一个平凡的俗人,但你在茫茫的人世里,一时难脱凡俗的尘心,表现在你的道心上不够坚定,尚在两可之间。功业已有建树,就该动身回程了,不要贪恋民俗的荣华富贵和徒具虚名的功利,还有那些真真假假的情感。神道在向你召唤。赶快回到故乡来吧,建造简陋的茅草庵棚,苦苦修炼自身,总有一天可以达成愿望,修成神仙飞到天上去。反朴归真,这正是老子哲学思想的一大要义。<<老子道德篇>>第十六章上说:万物旁作,吾以观其复也。"即通过观察万物的兴起,发展和向其虚无的本原的回归,来认识"道"的运行的规律,让自己达到心静无所欲求的虚无境界,这样才能得"道"。
〖卦语〗财马两勿洽,官禄有定方;猪羊牛犬,自去主张。
〖释义〗古代预测术中,认为驿马星可吉可凶。贵人驿马多升跃,常人驿马多奔波。为财利而奔波,被当作常人,不能算是吉利,难奔波劳累,受尽颠离之苦,且获利甚微,向近于无,因此说,财利与驿马,两不相洽。 如果你以官方的名义,远方求财,那么这种获利的可能性,者可以肯定的。 然而,此次远行求利,到底结局如何? "猪羊牛犬",签里和了明显答复。你是属于上述生肖的人吗?你有幸为其中之一,就大胆地作好计划去干,如果不在其列,去也无益,不如打消远征的念头。猪人的发达方向宜往北,羊人宜向西。牛人西南方,向有利。犬人则四方皆利,但须不断保持与家中联络,往返奔波,会更幸劳些。 在合作形式上,属猪和属羊的人,可以成为上佳拍档。牛,蛇,鸡人的组合,也相当默契,能获得成功。虎马犬人将紧密合作,精力充沛,心情愉快。

Verse:
〖诗曰〗事有喜,面有光,終始好商量;壺中日月長。
Explanation:
〖签释一〗此籤主得賢妻,家庭和諧,生活幸福,亦主婦女有喜。
〖签释二〗此籤主存心好者到處吉利,喜氣來時自不覺歲月之長,此亦功成圓滿,方能得茲善果也,占者當臨深履薄,善保其終也。
〖释义〗你为什么红光满面,精神焕发?那是因为喜事临门,好消息接踵而来,什么凶煞都被冲得精光。别人有难处,此时求你,你都好说话。你有难处,此时求同样也好商量。这件事情,它的美好结局,多靠语言方成的力量,是一件磨嘴皮的事情,壶中日月长的含义包括请客,送礼,求人搭白松口。酒,油,饮料,甚至带有液体性质的化妆品,液化气等等都会派上用场。这一点也许会出乎你的意料。能够帮助你的人很多,其中以姓氏中带有三点水的人,更为得力。对方的性格经比较柔和,感受到你的诚意,又经不起你的一再蘑菇,会要为你出头说话维护你的利益。这样,你的所有困难就会一一破解了。你千万不要开罪于她,因为此人的意念,往往是关键性的,弄拧了的话,就会彻底失败。

Verse:
〖诗曰〗船棹中流急,花開春又離事寧心不靜,惹起許多疑。
Explanation:
〖签释一〗心情紛亂,辦事慮深,時運猶待新春,旅外慎防不測,婚姻出現暗礁。
〖签释二〗此籤不宜妄想只可謹守避禍,作福修善默契天心,失意反能得意,無望轉成有望,若徒思維猜度,是擾亂心君也,占者慎之。
Verse:
〖诗曰〗云横山际水茫茫,千里长途望故乡;蹇厄事来君莫恨,倚门惆账立斜阳。
Explanation:
〖签释〗回归故乡的道路,千里迢迢,被山水所阴隔,让人遗恨不已。蹇厄不顺利,逆境中的倒霉事儿,来了,你怨恨也没有什么用,黄黄错时独自靠在门旁,望穿秋水,家山远隔,有家难回。这是一条什么样的不归路啊?自从踏上它便无法回归,有有说爱是无法回归的路,只有出发的爱没有回头的爱,爱情是无法收回的只有付出。有许多恶习养成也无法头,比如同性恋,吸食毒品。有许多绝症也是无法医治的,比如爱滋病。有人认为江湖路也是一条黑色不归路,欲金盆洗手,重新做人,难以实现,黑帮团伙也认为是一种背叛,你掌握的秘密太多。很多错误都是一次失足造成,往往悔迟晚矣令人遗憾。

Verse:
〖诗曰〗龍一吟,雲便興,沖霄直上;快睹太平,為文為武,君君臣臣。
Explanation:
〖签释一〗所問之事,已出現祥瑞之兆,很快就有和諧局面出現。
〖签释二〗此籤亦平步青雲,為官則百僚同心,為商則賓主一德,為農則夫耕婦饈,為工則通力合作,占之者吉。
局势纷纷,有如麻乱,潜伏症一个又一个的危机,要解决纷纷扰扰的局面,早日见到太平安吉的一天,还得有一位属龙的朋友和贵人出现在你面对才会得以改观。这位属龙的贵人开口为你说话,便会产生云和雨,产生阴旭五行中的水,水这个因素,是你目前所最缺乏的此时你的生命中,火太旺。这种火,有文火和武火之分,交相博斗,,都想争个主子,的地位,所以在你的心中,体内,运程,中产生极不平衡的冲突。如今有了这位龙年出生的贵人,你生命之火,便会分出君臣主辅,排出座次,井然而有序,相对平衡,的局面,也就出现了。你在遇上这位贵人之前要多多朝拜东方,向雷神祈求并许一宠愿,纷乱之局,在春季里可以得到贺满结束。
〖卦语〗跳龙门,须汲浪;雷电轰轰,踊跃万丈。
〖释义〗鱼跃龙门,主有升迁之喜,无论你学业上或事业上都有高升的好面会,而你要借助水的力量,须汲浪,就是这层意思。而这里所说的水,不是静止的水,而是运动的状态下的水形成了浪,十二地支中子为最旺盛的水,壬子1972年生的一位属鼠的朋友,将向你提出有益的忠告和帮助,你要听取一采纳他的意见,方可取得贺圆满的成功。 雷声轰轰,这里用雷作象征,指示的是有关方向,时季和保护神, 震卦为雷,春季,东方,五行属木,护神为表龙,震卦往往所显示的国因中同喜,亦因草木姓氏人称心 踊和跃,都是激烈的运动状态,这里主要还靠自己的意志,外来力量的帮助还只在关键的时候和地方,你在不停歇的运动中,获得利益,来之不易,辛苦了。

1000遍 延命十句觀音經 4/12/2011

此經係《高王觀音經》的精簡本,同出於古人的夢中傳授。《高王觀音經》早在東魏時代即已傳出,《延命十句觀音經》則出於劉宋元嘉二十七年(西元四五○年)。據趙宋時代四明志磐於西元一二六九年撰成的《佛祖統紀》卷三十六所載:「元嘉二十七年,王玄謨北征失利,蕭斌欲誅之,沈慶之諌曰:『佛貍(魏世祖小子)威震天下,豈玄謨所能當,殺戰將,徒自弱耳。』乃止。」不僅未遭刑戮,後來官至開府,年八十二,壽終正寢。王玄謨如何得此際遇?乃由於受誅之前,夜夢異人,告以若誦《觀音經》千遍,可免死難,並口授經文十句:
觀世音,南無佛,與佛有因,與佛有緣,佛法相緣,常樂我淨,朝念觀世音,暮念觀世音,念念從心起,念念不離心。(《大正藏》卷四九.三四五頁中~下)
這部《觀音經》,雖出於古人的夢中感得,並非傳譯自印度,以其僅僅十句,已具足三寶及觀音的持名念法,故迄趙宋乃至清初,仍受到佛教界的普方傳誦。特別是相當於中國清初的日本江戶時代的白隠禪師(西元一六八五~一七六八年),為了弘揚此經,蒐羅資料,編寫了一部《延命十句觀音靈驗記》。近代的日本著名禪匠原田祖岳,也寫了一部《延命十句觀音經講話》。(本文原收錄於《佛教入門》-法鼓文化出版)

Verse:
〖诗曰〗车马到临,旌旗隐隐月分明,招安讨叛,光大前程
Explanation:
〖签释〗一场紧锣密鼓的人事斗争,在暗地里展开。不少人态度暖昧,闪烁烁,使你难分清谁是敌人谁是朋友?怪不得旗帜不鲜明,一开始你自己也受到蒙蔽,对周围的局势,没有一个正确的认识,直到一个女贵人(月,太阴星)乘车而来,事情才有了眉目和头绪,一切才得以真相大白,你也恍然大悟。这位女贵人的职业是律师,教员或司法官员。并不需要你刻意寻找,她会适时地来到你身边,指导你用拉一派打一派的权术,去驾驭整人局面。事情朝着大吉的方向发展,你不要慌张,乱了阵脚。

千手千眼觀世音菩薩廣大圓滿無礙大悲心陀羅尼經心咒
依據《大悲心陀羅尼經》記載,釋迦牟尼佛正要廣說【陀羅尼法門】時,突然十方大地震動,三千大千世界皆作金色,是因為觀世音菩薩密放神通之故。但因為大眾皆疑惑,總持王菩薩見到這種稀有的情況,便起立合掌問釋迦牟尼佛:『如此神通的相貌,是誰所放?』而釋迦牟尼佛回答說:『現場的大會裡,有一名菩薩,名曰觀世音自在,從無量劫以來,成就了大慈大悲,擅能修習無量陀羅尼門,為了使眾生安樂,所以釋放神通威力。』釋迦牟尼佛話說完,觀世音菩薩從座而起,向釋迦牟尼佛合掌說:『我有大悲心陀羅尼咒,現在想要說,為了使所有的眾生得到安樂、除一切病苦、得壽命、得富饒、得除一切所有的惡罪、遠離一切的魔障礙困難、成就清淨的功德、能成就一切所有的善根、遠離一切的恐懼害怕、速能滿足一切所希望所求的,希望世尊能夠慈悲的允許我向大眾宣說。』釋迦牟尼佛聽見觀世音菩薩的請求,釋迦牟尼佛就說:『善男子,你是如此廣大的慈悲要向大眾宣說大悲咒,現在正是時候,我隨喜你的功德,十方諸佛也隨喜讚嘆你的功德。』
《大悲心陀羅尼經》經文的記載,雖然對大悲咒生疑者不能滅罪,但因閱讀大悲咒任可得菩提之因,其經文曰:今誦大悲陀羅尼時,十方師即來為作證明,一切罪障悉皆消滅,一切十惡、五逆、謗人、謗法、破齋、破戒、破塔、壞寺、偷僧衹物、污淨梵行,如是等一切惡業重罪,悉皆滅盡。唯除一事,於咒生疑者,乃至小罪輕業亦不得滅,何況重罪;雖不即滅重罪,猶能遠作菩提之因。若有誦持大悲心陀羅尼者,得如是等功德利益也,一切天人應常誦持勿生懈怠。

【其他利益】
據《大悲心陀羅尼經》經文的記載,讀誦大悲心咒者可有其他的利益如下:
1.    臨命終時十方諸佛皆來授手。欲生何等佛土,隨願皆得往生。
2.    不墮三惡道。能生諸佛國。得無量三昧辯才。
3.    誦持大悲神咒者,於現在生中一切所求若不果遂者,不得為大悲心陀羅尼也,唯除不善、除不至誠。

4.    若諸眾生侵損常住飲食財物,千佛出世不通懺悔,縱懺亦不除滅,今誦大悲神咒即得除滅。若侵損、食用常住飲食、財物,要對十方師懺謝,然始除滅。

Yu 豫 5/11/2011

1. 豫:利建侯,行師。
   Yu: Yu indicates that, (in the state which it implies), feudal princes may be set up, and the hosts put in motion, with advantage.
   彖傳: 豫,剛應而志行,順以動,豫。豫,順以動,故天地如之,而況建侯行師乎?天地以順動,故日月不過,而四時不忒;聖人以順動,則刑罰清而民服。豫之時義大矣哉!
   Tuan Zhuan: In Yu we see the strong (line) responded to by all the others, and the will (of him whom it represents) being carried out; and (also) docile obedience employing movement (for its purposes). (From these things comes) Yu (the Condition of harmony and satisfaction). In this condition we have docile obedience employing movement (for its purposes), and therefore it is so as between heaven and earth; - how much more will it be so (among men) in 'the setting up of feudal princes and putting the hosts in motion!' Heaven and earth show that docile obedience in connexion with movement, and hence the sun and moon make no error (in time), and the four seasons do not deviate (from their order). The sages show such docile obedience in connexion with their movements, and hence their punishments and penalties are entirely just, and the people acknowledge it by their submission. Great indeed are the time and significance indicated in Yu!
   象傳: 雷出地奮,豫。先王以作樂崇德,殷薦之上帝,以配祖考。
   Xiang Zhuan: (The trigrams for) the earth and thunder issuing from it with its crashing noise form Yu. The ancient kings, in accordance with this, composed their music and did honour to virtue, presenting it especially and most grandly to God, when they associated with Him (at the service) their highest ancestor and their father.
2. 初六:鳴豫,凶。
   The first SIX, divided, shows its subject proclaiming his pleasure and satisfaction. There will be evil.
   象傳: 初六鳴豫,志窮凶也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'The (subject of the) first six proclaims his pleasure and satisfaction:' - there will be evil; his wishes have been satisfied to overflowing.
3. 六二:介于石,不終日,貞吉。
   The second SIX, divided, shows one who is firm as a rock. (He sees a thing) without waiting till it has come to pass; with his firm correctness there will be good fortune.
   象傳: 不終日,貞吉;以中正也。
   Xiang Zhuan: '(He sees a thing) without waiting till it has come to pass; with his firm correctness there will be good fortune:' - this is shown by the central and correct position (of the line).
4. 六三:盱豫,悔。遲有悔。
   The third SIX, divided, shows one looking up (for favours), while he indulges the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. If he would understand!--If he be late in doing so, there will indeed be occasion for repentance.
   象傳: 盱豫有悔,位不當也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'He looks up (for favours), while he indulges the feeling of satisfaction; there will be occasion for repentance:' - this is intimated by the position not being the appropriate one.
5. 九四:由豫,大有得。勿疑。朋盍簪。
   The fourth NINE, undivided, shows him from whom the harmony and satisfaction come. Great is the success which he obtains. Let him not allow suspicions to enter his mind, and thus friends will gather around him.
   象傳: 由豫,大有得;志大行也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'From him the harmony and satisfaction come; great is the success which he obtains:' - his aims take effect on a grand scale.
6. 六五:貞疾,恆不死。
   The fifth six, divided, shows one with a chronic complaint, but who lives on without dying.
   象傳: 六五貞疾,乘剛也。恆不死,中未亡也。
   Xiang Zhuan: '(The subject of) the fifth six has a chronic complaint:' - this is shown by his being mounted on the strong (line). 'He still lives on without dying:' - he is in the central position, (and its memories of the past) have not yet perished.
7. 上六:冥豫,成有渝,无咎。
   The topmost six, divided, shows its subject with darkened mind devoted to the pleasure and satisfaction (of the time); but if he change his course even when (it may be considered as) completed, there will be no error.
   象傳: 冥豫在上,何可長也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'With darkened mind devoted to the harmony and satisfaction (of the time),' as shown in the topmost (line): - how can one in such a condition continue long?
   (by James Legge)

Kan 坎 13/10/2011

1. 坎:習坎,有孚,維心亨,行有尚。
   Kan: Kan, here repeated, shows the possession of sincerity, through which the mind is. penetrating. Action (in accordance with this) will be of high value.
   彖傳: 習坎,重險也。水流而不盈,行險而不失其信。維心亨,乃以剛中也。行有尚,往有功也。天險不可升也,地險山川丘陵也,王公設險以守其國,坎之時用大矣哉!
   Tuan Zhuan: Kan repeated shows us one defile succeeding another. This is the nature of water; - it flows on, without accumulating its volume (so as to overflow); it pursues its way through a dangerous defile, without losing its true (nature). That 'the mind is penetrating' is indicated by the strong (line) in the centre. That 'action (in accordance with this) will be of high value' tells us that advance will be followed by achievement. The dangerous (height) of heaven cannot be ascended; the difficult places of the earth are mountains, rivers, hills, and mounds. Kings and princes arrange by means of such strengths, to maintain their territories. Great indeed is the use of (what is here) taught about seasons of peril.
   象傳: 水洊至,習坎;君子以常德行,習教事。
   Xiang Zhuan: (The representation of) water flowing on continuously forms the repeated Kan. The superior man, in accordance with this, maintains constantly the virtue (of his heart) and (the integrity of) his conduct, and practises the business of instruction.
2. 初六:習坎,入于坎窞,凶。
   The first SIX, divided, shows its subject in the double defile, and (yet) entering a cavern within it. There will be evil.
   象傳: 習坎入坎,失道凶也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'In the double defile, he enters a cavern within it:' - he has missed his (proper) way, and there will be evil.
3. 九二:坎有險,求小得。
   The second NINE, undivided, shows its subject in all the peril of the defile. He will, however, get a little (of the deliverance) that he seeks.
   象傳: 求小得,未出中也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'He will get a little (of the deliverance) that he seeks:' - he will not yet escape from his environed position.
4. 六三:來之坎坎,險且枕,入于坎窞,勿用。
   The third SIX, divided, shows its subject, whether he comes or goes ( =descends or ascends), confronted by a defile. All is peril to him and unrest. (His endeavours) will lead him into the cavern of the pit. There should be no action (in such a case).
   象傳: 來之坎坎,終无功也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'Whether he comes or goes, he is confronted by a defile:' - he will never (in such circumstances) achieve any success.
5. 六四:樽酒簋貳,用缶,納約自牖,終无咎。
   The fourth SIX, divided, shows its subject (at a feast), with (simply) a bottle of spirits, and a subsidiary basket of rice, while (the cups and bowls) are (only) of earthenware. He introduces his important lessons (as his ruler's) intelligence admits. There will in the end be no error.
   象傳: 樽酒簋貳,剛柔際也。
   Xiang Zhuan: '(Nothing but) a bottle of spirits and a subsidiary basket of rice:' - (these describe) the meeting at this point of (those who are represented by) the strong and weak lines.
6. 九五:坎不盈,祗既平,无咎。
   The fifth NINE, undivided, shows the water of the defile not yet full, (so that it might flow away); but order will (soon) be brought about. There will be no error.
   象傳: 坎不盈,中未大也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'The water in the defile is not full (so as to flow away):' - (the virtue indicated by) the central situation is not yet (sufficiently) great.
7. 上六:係用徽纆,寘于叢棘,三歲不得,凶。
   The topmost SIX, divided, shows its subject bound with cords of three strands or two strands, and placed in the thicket of thorns. But in three years he does not learn the course for him to pursue. There will be evil.
   象傳: 上六失道,凶三歲也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'The sixth line, divided, shows its subject missing his (proper) course:' - 'there will be evil for three years.'
   (by James Legge)

Sign of 30/12/2010

Verse:
〖卦语〗叫道叫道,天将明了,何不伸首舒眉,反作蓬蒿到老。
Explanation:
〖释义〗从字面的意思看来,这支签通俗易懂,是在向你大喝一声,想要警醒你,不要再沉睡下去。沉沉的黑夜就要过去,暑光初照,黎明来临,你一生中的最佳季节终于出现了。 可是,你似乎还没有意识到这一点。如果失之交臂岂不会让大好时机白白流走? 不然的话,这些野蓬和蒿草就会趁你沉睡的当儿,疯狂地生长,将你埋没,让你永无出头之日。 你原先的这条运程属土,新开始的运程属金。不过,金靠土而生成,能够克木。所以,你要认清这复杂的关系,不要弄错了。值得提醒的是,火虽然克金,但炉中之火,却可以炼金,不要一味排斥。在天干中,丙属太阳之火,丁属灯盏、炉冶之火。在地支中,巳、午、未时属此性。换一句话说,属蛇和羊的朋友将给你巨大帮助,而属马列的人却会坏你的大事。
Verse:
〖卦语〗朦胧秋月映朱门,林外鸟声远寺僧;自有贵人来接引,何须巧语似流莺。
Explanation:
〖释义〗三秋时节,朦胧的月光映照在红色的大门上,显得那第苍白,柔弱和无助,朱门,通常用来指贵府,官宦豪门。柔弱女子依附豪门,全仗贵人接引,施恩。鸟儿自由地歌唱着飞出了树林,远远地离开了寺庙,离开僧侣。为不愿再与那个无欲无求,有名份的人共同生活,离家出走了。 女子的出走,在贵人看来完全可以理解。所以她用不着过多地解释,也用不着编出一个巧妙的理由,更用不着自作多情,装模作样地去献媚。贵人会主动地向她伸出温暖的手,帮助她渡过难关。 这类如逃亡,跳槽,北离,人口走失,失物等项事情,同样可以悟出答案来。 不管你是那只自由鸟儿(离家出走的女人),还是那救人于危难的贵人,都须记住这句话:"杀人须见血,救人须救彻。"帮忙一定帮到底,否则反遭无穷后患。
〖抽签〗下下签
〖诗曰〗木生火,口不噤,疯癫作症,寒热相侵。
〖签释〗震为木,离为火。上震下火,组成卦名"噬嗑"。卦辞说:"亨,利用狱。"这一签,与刑罚,官非一类事物密切相关。签的主要意义是亨通吉利的。噬嗑,原指吃食物的两种方式。噬有咬和吞的意思,嗑即是用门牙咬开壳或硬的东西。在卦辞的意思指口中之食,不要轻易吐出来,要合紧嘴巴,不要暴露。而签中却指出,"口不噤"。看来一切都是口舌惹事非闯不利,不吐不行。 有什么办法补救呢? "疯癫作症",这可是个绝招,让你装疯卖傻即胡说八道,又不识冷热乱穿衣裳,寒热相侵,整个一副神经病的模样。这样,你的语言,行动就不能作为法律的依据。当然可以迷惑对方。你抽得此签,是为自己,还是为他人?不论怎样,它对你都是一个警告:紧闭嘴巴,保守秘密,谨记祸从口出。明白处,要装些湖涂。

Sign of 13/9/2010

Verse:
〖卦语〗珠玉走盘中,田园定阜丰;休言谋示遂,此去便亨通。
Explanation:
〖释义〗珠玉与肋皆团圆之珍物,圆满吉祥的征兆。预测田园土产必定丰足。阜,富足的意思。不要说目的不能达到,这回去了,一定能取得圆满成功。 西冯方向,京都大邑,形胜之地,高亢之所,可望成就。 秋,九,十月之交,戌亥年月日时,正是成功最佳时刻。 饮食禁忌:荔枝,桂园(龙眼)等圆型果品,诸物之首,海鲜及肝,胆腰等下水。 西北成名有望,大权可揽,宜入京师。 吉祥色彩:大红,玄青色。 若论婚姻,可成,大吉。

Sign of 8/9/2010

Verse:
〖卦语〗平地起波澜,所求事日难;谈笑终有忌,同心事览欢。
Explanation:
〖释义〗过多的水,忽然向你涌你,伤害你命运占优势的"火"。汪洋大水很快熄灭炉中之火,那炼的事就相当困难了。 水,也象征着一种以言主语为手段的阴险,中伤。比如谣言,诽谤,诬告,小报告,篡改,证等等,所以,你在发表正式讲话和与人鉴定合约的时候,一定谨慎小心。态度要严隶,认真。少去充当媒人和保人,以免惹来麻烦和烦恼,在与人谈笑之间,也不要过于轻松,须保持几分警惕性,尽管对方不是与你追求同一个目标。你也许会在无意之间,泄露自己机密,自己都没有察觉。也许会在一句笑话时,得罪一个不能得罪的人物。 同心事,是指相类似的事物。相同的事例中,你加以观察和研究,就会得到宝贵的经验和教训,然后具体分析,便能办好自己的事。将被动局面完全扭转过来。

Sign of 23/6/2010

Verse:
〖诗曰〗两女一夫,上下相祛,阴气乘阳,应是耗虚
Explanation:
〖签释〗这里又是用人物来作比喻的签,需要我们发挥联想,才能达到理解的目的。
        一个男人除了要应付自己正常的劳动,工作之苦外,还要同时在两个女人身上消耗情力,加上这一正一副,一上一下的两个女人,针锋相对争风吃醋,互相排斥,这样一种阴气过重,阳气衰败的局面,应当认为是一种使自己变为虚弱的消耗,一种减损。所以想安身立命,事来有成并且健康长寿,生活中不应同时拥有两个女人,要想成功你心中的事,也要排除同时现两人女人的因素。推而广之,一只手不能同时抓两条鱼,两个目的不能兼得,两件事情不便同时实行,那样反而是徒劳,例如一心一意干好一件事,有些单身人没有家庭拖累,可以去搞第二职业,,但也应有主次之分,更不能贪多去弄第二第四职业,那种要去找来背在肩上?
Verse:
〖卦语〗山穷路转迷,水急舟难渡,万事莫强为,出处遭姑妒
Explanation:
〖释义〗此签山水相逢,困难重重,多有阴滞,乃至迷失道路,欲渡还难, 你能走出这千回百转的山林吗? 你能渡过这湍急的滩头,而不会翻船落水吗? 以你的意志,毅力,和勇气,是可是勉强到逅,但不希望,兄这样去做,因为接近尾声的时候,人但一无所获,还必会受到奸人的阴陷,使自己败得更惨。局既定不如中途罢手,撤回基地,另设全法,这样,损災或许会小些。 知不可为而为之,是一种不愿通的顽固心态,实不足取。迷途知返不为迷失,道迷而心不迷,归为上策, 易经中归妹一卦,象征着凶兆,对任何事都不利。 所以请你回归原有的基础,等待那大吉大利的辰,妹妹,不要朝前走了。 你能丢下那使你迷失的不切实际的欲望吗?

Sign of 27/4/2010

Verse:
卦语:月儿升东 清光可挹 万里无云 海天一碧
Explanation:
释义:签诗为我们描绘出一幅海上生明月的幽静,清明图景。 挹(YI)的意思是舀。月光如水,仿佛可以舀,那正是将近午夜之时。 这种环境和时刻,正是你行动的最佳条件,你如今正临太阴星高照,求名求利诸事皆遂心愿,正是心想事成。你追求自己的前程最好离家远行。在远方会适时遇上女贵人,抑或得贤妻之助。虽然有些意外事故,但均有惊无险,没有特大的灾难。但对于女性来说,恐怕会有些妇科方面的病情发生,如果在这半年内生孩子的话,需要特别注意保健,防止意外。每逢当月二十六日(农历)月黄纸牌位,上写月宫太阴皇后星君,并燃点七枝烛,朝正西方虔诚膜拜,以求大吉。

Ksitigarbha Buddha (Great Vow Bodhisattva) 地藏王菩薩 23/4/2011, 6/12/2012

Ksitigarbha (Sanskrit: क्षितिगर्भ Kṣitigarbha) is a bodhisattva primarily revered in East Asian Buddhism, usually depicted as a Buddhist monk in the Orient. The name may be translated as "Earth Treasury", "Earth Store", "Earth Matrix", or "Earth Womb". Ksitigarbha is known for his vow to take responsibility for the instruction of all beings in the six worlds between the death of Gautama (Sakyamuni) Buddha and the rise of Maitreya Buddha, as well as his vow not to achieve Buddhahood until all hells are emptied. He is therefore often regarded as the bodhisattva of hell beings, as well as the guardian of children and patron deity of deceased children and aborted foetuses in Japanese culture. Usually depicted as a monk with a halo around his shaved head, he carries a staff to force open the gates of hell and a wish-fulfilling jewel to light up the darkness.
地藏菩薩(梵文:क्षितिगर्भ Kṣitigarbha),或稱地藏王菩薩,曾音譯為「乞叉底蘗沙」。因其「安忍不動如大地,靜慮深密如秘藏」,故名地藏。為佛教四大菩薩之一,與觀音、文殊、普賢一起,深受世人敬仰。以其「久遠劫來屢發弘願」,即為『身是菩提樹、心如明鏡台、時時勤拂拭、勿使惹塵埃』是主要目的,即在於『地獄不空、誓不成佛』故被尊稱為大願地藏王菩薩。
Ksitigarbha is one of the four principal bodhisattvas in East Asian Mahayana Buddhism. The others are Samantabhadra, Manjusri, and Avalokitesvara.
At the pre-Tang Dynasty grottos in Dunhuang and Longmen, he is depicted in a classical bodhisattva form. After the Tang Dynasty, he became increasingly depicted as a monk, carrying rosaries and a staff.
His full name in the Chinese script is Dayuan Dizang Pusa (simplified Chinese: 大願地藏菩萨; traditional Chinese: 大願地藏菩薩; pinyin: Dàyuàn Dìzàng Púsà), or the Bodhisattva King Dizang of the Great Vow, pronounced as Dayuan Dizang Pusa in Mandarin, Daigan Jizō Bosatsu in Japanese, and Jijang Bosal in Korean.
This is a reference to his pledge, as recorded in the sutras, to take responsibility for the instruction of all beings in the six worlds, in the era between the death of Gautama Buddha and the rise of Maitreya Buddha. Because of this important role, shrines to Ksitigarbha often occupy a central role in any Oriental Mahayana temple, especially within the memorial halls or mausoleums.

Ge 革 Sign of 30/3/2010

1. 革:巳日乃孚,元亨利貞,悔亡。
   Ge: (What takes place as indicated by) Ge is believed in only after it has been accomplished. There will be great progress and success. Advantage will come from being firm and correct. (In that case) occasion for repentance will disappear.
   彖傳: 革,水火相息,二女同居,其志不相得,曰革。巳日乃孚;革而信也。文明以說,大亨以正,革而當,其悔乃亡。天地革而四時成,湯武革命,順乎天而應乎人,革之時義大矣哉!
   Tuan Zhuan: In Ge (we see) water and fire extinguishing each other; (we see also) two daughters dwelling together, but with their minds directed to different objects: - (on account of these things) it is called (the hexagram of) Change. 'It is believed in (only) after it has been accomplished:' - when the change has been made, faith is accorded to it. (We have) cultivated intelligence (as the basis of) pleased satisfaction, (suggesting) 'great progress and success,' coming from what is correct. When change thus takes place in the proper way, 'occasion for repentance disappears.' Heaven and earth undergo their changes, and the four seasons complete their functions. Thang changed the appointment (of the line of Hsi? to the throne), and Wu (that of the line of Shang), in accordance with (the will of) Heaven, and in response to (the wishes of) men. Great indeed is what takes place in a time of change.
   象傳: 澤中有火,革;君子以治歷明時。
   Xiang Zhuan: (The trigram representing the waters of) a marsh and that for fire in the midst of them form Ge. The superior man, in accordance with this, regulates his (astronomical) calculations, and makes clear the seasons and times.
2. 初九:鞏用黃牛之革。
   Ge: The first NINE, undivided, shows its subject (as if he were) bound with the skin of a yellow ox.
   象傳: 鞏用黃牛,不可以有為也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'He is bound with (the skin of) a yellow ox:' - he should in his circumstances be taking action.
3. 六二:巳日乃革之,征吉,无咎。
   Ge: The second SIX, divided, shows its subject making his changes after some time has passed. Action taken will be fortunate. There will be no error.
   象傳: 巳日革之,行有嘉也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'He makes his changes when some time has passed:' - what he does will be matter of admiration.
4. 九三:征凶,貞厲,革言三就,有孚。
   Ge: The third NINE, undivided, shows that action taken by its subject will be evil. Though he be firm and correct, his position is perilous. If the change (he contemplates) have been three times fully discussed, he will be believed in.
   象傳: 革言三就,又何之矣。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'The change (contemplated) has been three times fully discussed:' - to what else should attention (now) be directed?
5. 九四:悔亡,有孚改命,吉。
   Ge: The fourth NINE, undivided, shows occasion for repentance disappearing (from its subject). Let him be believed in; and though he change (existing) ordinances, there will be good fortune.
   象傳: 改命之吉,信志也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'The good fortune consequent on changing (existing) ordinances' is due to the faith reposed in his aims.
6. 九五:大人虎變,未占有孚。
   Ge: The fifth NINE, undivided, shows the great man (producing his changes) as the tiger (does when he) changes (his stripes). Before he divines (and proceeds to action), faith has been reposed in him.
   象傳: 大人虎變,其文炳也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'The great man produces his changes as the tiger does when he changes his stripes:' - their beauty becomes more brilliant.
7. 上六:君子豹變,小人革面,征凶,居貞吉。
   Ge: The sixth SIX, divided, shows the superior man producing his changes as the leopard (does when he) changes (his spots), while small men change their faces (and show their obedience). To go forward (now) would lead to evil, but there will be good fortune in abiding firm and correct.
   象傳: 君子豹變,其文蔚也。小人革面,順以從君也。
   Xiang Zhuan: 'The superior man produces his changes as the leopard does when he changes his spots:' - their beauty becomes more elegant. 'Small men change their faces:' - they show themselves prepared to follow their ruler.

Bhaisajyaguru (Medicine Buddha) Mantra 药师心咒 19/3/2011, 30/1/2012

The Medicine Buddha, or Bhaiṣajyaguru, is as his name suggests connected with healing. His mantra exists in both long and short forms. In its long form it is:
namo bhagavate bhaiṣajyaguru vaidūryaprabharājāya tathāgatāya arhate samyaksambuddhāya tadyathā: oṃ bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajya-samudgate svāhā.
The short form is:
(tadyathā:) oṃ bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye mahābhaiṣajye bhaiṣajyarāje samudgate svāhā.
“Bhaisajya” means “curativeness” or “healing efficacy,” while “guru” means “teacher” or “master.” Thus he’s the “master of healing.” He’s also known as Bhaisajyaraja, “raja” meaning “king.”
The short form of the mantra could roughly be translated as “Hail! Appear, O Healer, O Healer, O Great Healer, O King of Healing!” The optional “tadyathā” at the beginning means “thus,” and it’s not really part of the mantra, but more of an introduction.
The long version could be rendered as, “Homage to the Blessed One, The Master of Healing, The King of Lapis Lazuli Radiance, The One Thus-Come, The Worthy One, The Fully and Perfectly Awakened One, thus: ‘Hail! Appear, O Healer, O Healer, O Great Healer, O King of Healing!’ ”
In Tibetan pronunciation, the mantra comes out as:
(Tad-ya-ta) Om Be-kan-dze Be-kan-dze Ma-ha Be-kan-dze Ra-dza Sa-mung-ga-te So-ha
(Tibetan is from an entirely different language group from Sanskrit, and so it’s even harder for Tibetans to approximate Sanskrit pronunciations than it is for English speakers).
Bhaiṣajyaguru is one of a set of eight healing Buddhas, which includes Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha. Bhaiṣajyaguru is the head Buddha of the group.
He is Lapis Lazuli blue in color, although sometimes he’s depicted as golden-skinned. He is dressed in the robes of a bhikṣu (monk). His left hand rests in his lap in the mudra (hand gesture) of meditation, while in his right hand, held palm upwards at the right knee, he holds a branch of the healing myrobalan plant.
In his left hand, which rests in his lap in the dhyana (meditation) mudra, he holds a bowl of amrita — the nectar of immortality.
The idea of the Buddha as healer goes back — as a metaphor — to the days of the historical Buddha. It’s said, in fact, that the formula of the Four Noble Truths is based on a medical model of diagnosis, etiology, prognosis, and therapy. The Buddha demonstrates in the historical teachings a good knowledge of anatomy and physiology, at least by the standards of his time, and although he almost certainly wasn’t trained in the medical arts he seems to have had some knowledge of them.
Later texts, like Santideva’s “Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life,” take up the notion of the Enlightened ones being healers, referring to the Buddha as “the Omniscient Physician who removes every pain.” He also expresses the aspiration, “May I be the medicine and the physician for the sick. May I be their nurse until their illness never recurs.”
药师琉璃光如来
药师琉璃光如来,梵名鞞杀社窭噜,简称药师佛,又作药师如来、药师琉璃光如来、大医王佛、医王善逝、十二愿王。他与本师释迦牟尼佛、 阿弥陀佛为"横三世"亦称三宝佛,于东方净琉璃光净土,为大医王佛,具法身佛相, 身蓝琉璃宝色,右手持药珂子连枝带叶,左手定印托钵,钵中蓄满甘露, 着三法衣,双定跏趺安住莲华上。
七佛为伴,七佛药师即善称名吉祥王如来、宝月智严光音自在王如来、金色宝光妙行成就如来、无忧最胜吉祥如来、法海雷音如来、法海慧游戏神通如来、药师琉璃光如来。其中前六如来为药师如来之分身。七佛药师法则为日本台密四大法之一。
如以药师如来为本尊,修息灾等法,则称为药师法。其仪轨与七佛药师法相同。其三昧耶形为药壶。真言有大咒与小咒之分,小咒为“唵呼嚧呼嚧战驮利摩橙祇莎诃”。又此如来与阿□、大日或释迦同体。各有誓愿救度病苦众生。药师佛之形像,据药师琉璃光王七佛本愿功德念诵仪轨供养法载,左手执持药器(又作无价珠),右手结三界印,着袈裟,结跏趺坐于莲花台,台下有十二神将。此十二神将誓愿护持药师法门,各率七千药叉眷属,在各地护佑受持药师佛名号之众生。十二药叉神将为眷属,依次为有宫毗罗大将、跋折罗大将、迷企罗大将、 頞你罗大将、末你罗大将、娑你罗大将、因陀罗大将、 婆夷罗大将、薄呼罗大将、真达罗大将、朱社罗大将、毗羯罗大将, 此十二大将各有七千药叉以为眷属。眷属药叉 十二神将,表药师佛的神威力,时刻都守护行者。药师佛有五十一种身相示现, 通常指的是八大药师佛。
又一般流传之像为螺发形,左手持药壶,右手结施无畏印(或与愿印),药师琉璃光如来二胁侍菩萨,一为日光菩萨,二为月光菩萨; 此二胁侍在药师佛之净土为无量众中之上首,是一生补处之菩萨,表示不分昼夜教化众生之意;亦有以观音、势至二菩萨为其胁侍者。此外,或以文殊师利、观音、势至、宝坛华、无尽意、药王、药上、弥勒等八菩萨为其侍者。 
药师佛的净土为“东方净琉琉璃世界”,故又称琉璃光佛,以琉璃蓝为其肤色,具法身佛之相。一面二臂,以吠琉璃蓝为其肤色,身穿三衣,右手施愿印持持药诃子,左手脱药钵,钵内贮满能治众生因果上一切诸病之妙甘露,具三十二相,八十随好,以金刚跏趺姿安住于莲花月轮宝座上。药师佛在因地修持行菩萨道时,曾发十二大愿:
一、自身光明照无边界;
二、身如琉璃内外清澈;
三、令诸有情悉皆圆满;
四、令一切众生行者安住大乘法宗;
五、令诸有情修行梵行如法清净;
六、诸根不具者皆得端严;
七、令诸有情身心安乐乃至菩提;
八、由女身转男身;
九、令诸有情消除外道邪见修习诸菩萨行;
十、令诸有情解脱一切忧苦;
十一、令诸有情随意饱满令住安乐;
十二、令诸有情得种种上妙衣服无诸苦恼。
此十二微妙上愿使众生得现世安乐。要让众生今世生活于安乐无病苦之中,使具足诸根,导入解脱,故依此愿而成佛,住净琉璃世界,其国土庄严如极乐国。释迦牟尼佛因此开示药师佛法门,利益后世众生。以药师佛表相而言,乃是为救济一切众生的病苦,实相则是为医治一切众生的病源–根本无明的痼疾,度化众生能够脱离生死的轮回,所以被尊为大医王佛或医王善道。
此佛誓愿不可思议,若有人身患重病,死衰相现,眷属于此人临命终时昼夜尽心供养礼拜药师佛,读诵药师如来本愿功德经四十九遍,燃四十九灯,造四十九天之五色彩幡,其人得以苏生续命。此种药师佛之信仰自古即盛行。依唐代义净译药师琉璃光七佛本愿功德经载,药师佛又作七佛药师。主尊药师佛,身如琉色,具足光明,披三法衣。 右手结胜施印,持带叶的"如拉"(藏青果) ,左手托钵,贮满能治众生由因果所生的诸病之甘露妙药。 相好圆满,以金刚双跏趺坐在莲花月轮之上。因尚未开悟的众生都会有各种烦恼困扰骚乱身心,特别是贪、謓、痴等,相互混合而产生繁杂的四万八千种不同烦恼,煎迫那些为开悟的众生。由于心理方面有如此多的烦恼,因而导致生理方面有四百零四种的传统疾病和失调,使身体受到病苦之乱。药师佛愿力的显现是消除这些烦恼,使免于受其苦,故持念本尊咒语或药师佛本愿功德经轨,并作礼敬供养,不但可消灾延寿,灭除一切灾劫病苦外,于命终时并可往生清净琉璃世界–药师佛净土。
礼敬供养药师佛,念佛名号,诵其咒语,可消除一切诸病苦之烦恼根源, 为十二之根本显示。还可消灾延寿,减除灾害病苦,免除九横死之灾。 药师佛为大医王佛,发十二誓愿,救众生之病源,治无明之痼疾。并能消除一切灾业。
