Setrap Mantra 金甲衣护法心咒 16/12/2014

Setrap
【Wrathful Emanation of Buddha Amitabha】
The Protector Setrap appears to us as a wrathful emanation of the Buddha Amitabha, where he protects us as angry, though concerned, parents would towards their wayward children ~ hoping to wake them to their senses and bring them onto the correct path.
Though in a wrathful form, the Protector is always motivated by compassion and loving care for all sentient beings.
As an Enlightened Buddha, Setrap’s apparent fury is never directed against any beings. Instead, his wrath is directed at destroying our inner and secret defilements of attachment, anger, ignorance and our self-cherishing attitudes which bring us so much suffering.
Utterly opposed to attachment, Setrap acts with objectless equanimity towards all beings. Being the great enemy of anger, Setrap acts with supreme love towards all beings.
Being the victor over ignorance, Setrap directly cognises Emptiness and possesses the highest wisdom that perceives the best manner of liberating all sentient beings. As the antidote to the self-cherishing attitude, Setrap cherishes all beings above Himself.
With sincere prayers and request of His assistance, Setrap is known to accomplish the swiftest destruction of outer, inner and secret obstacles in our path towards Enlightenment.

His spiritual energy in the form of sound that helps to transform the mind (Mantra):
OM MAHA YAK CHA TSA SOHA

Dharmapala Setrap Chen or more commonly known as “The Wild Tsen” or “Setrap Protector” is actually an ancient protector who comes from the Holy Land of Bodhgaya where Lord Shakyamuni Buddha was enlightened. Setrap Protector is actually the wrathful form of Buddha Amitabha that sworn to protect the teachings of Buddhism to Lord Sakyamuni Buddha. Setrap Protector is brought to Tibet by the translator called Loden Sherab (Ngog Lotsawa) from India just to spread and make the dharma grow. Setrap Chen’s name actually derive from the word “golden cuirass” and it refers to the Gold Armor that he wears in Battles, This Symbolized the battle with our minds and also the spiritual side with the Demons of both inner and outer.
Setrap Protector is an ancient Protector that exists before our age and sworn to protect the teachings of Buddhism to Lord Sakyamuni Buddha himself and renewed his vow with Guru Rinpoche. At that time Lord Setrap’s Practices are most commonly practiced in Buddhist Monasteries in both Nalanda and Bodhgaya in India. Traveled with the translator called Loden Sherab to the Land of Snow (Tibet) from India just to spread and make the dharma grow. Just before Loden Sherab starts his journey to Tibet, the abbot of Bodhgaya Monastery was said to have entrusted him with Setrap Protector for the success in growth of Buddhism in Tibet. 
Setrap Protector being the wrathful emanation of Buddha Amitabha has been the protector for Ganden Shartse Monastery one of the two college of Gaden Monastery for many hundreds of years. Setrap Protector’s tasks among these degenerate times are good in pacifying our obstacles and also to make conditions conducive for everything good; namely the practice of dharma which leads to our eternal happiness. His role of being a wrathful emanation is very similar like angry parents towards their child. Although sometimes our parents seems to be angry at us, but the anger is always motivated by love and concern towards their child’s well being. Buddha Amitabha emanate into this wrathful form is to direct into our inner and secret defilement of our own attachments, anger, ignorance and or ego. As an “Enlightened Buddha” despite his wrathful outer looks, Setrap Protector is well known for accomplishing the deadliest and swiftest destruction for all inner, outer and secret obstacles. As stated in the ”Setrap Puja Book” (Shartse Jewel) the cudgel that Lord Setrap holds with his right hand are made of ‘sandalwood from the forests of Malaya’ – (Malaya in now known as Malaysia). As a proof of a being a devoted protector of Buddhism, Setrap Protector actually sew Guru Rinpoche’s shoe to his crown when he renewed his vow as a proof.
Therefore Setrap Protector is “One of the Best” of the Enlightened being that we can pray to when we have any obstacles to pacify, especially those who keeps us away from Dharma.

金甲衣
【阿弥陀佛的忿怒化身】
在传统藏传佛教里，金甲衣护法是阿弥陀佛的忿怒相。祂的示现如同父母对于孩子的严厉管教，希望能唤醒他们的良知，带领他们走上正途，因此其背后的动机是出于对有情众生的大慈悲心。我们也可以说金甲衣护法所展现的忿怒相是专门对治我们内心里因无明所引发出的贪瞋痴之染习。金甲衣护法是彻底证悟的佛，祂的忿怒相绝非针对某位众生﹐而是平等慈悲地对待一切有情众生。由于祂已克服内在的瞋心，因此能施予众生无限的大爱。由于祂已断除无明之根﹐证悟空性﹐因此能运用大智慧善诱众生走上菩提之道。由于祂代表了强烈我执的对治剂，因此祂把他人的福祉看得比自己还重要。当我们生起强烈的心念祈求祂的加持及庇护时，祂将能帮助我们迅速克服外在﹐内在及密相上的修行上之障碍。
金甲衣护法心咒 :
嗡                   玛哈                 呀     叉                           扎                 梭哈

金甲衣护法(Setrap)
藏传佛教所谓“Dharmapala”意即保护佛法的守护神，而Setrap则意谓金盔甲。六百年来，在藏传黄教大寺——甘丹萨济寺，殊胜的金甲衣护法一直被得道的明师、大成就者、禅师、住持和转世高僧等供养着。单看像甘丹萨济寺这样一座大寺院，也选择了殊胜的金甲衣护法成为他们寺院里的守护神祇，我想祂肯定会为众生带来巨大的护佑。孰不知金甲衣是西方净土阿弥陀佛的忿怒化身，所以我们根本不需要对祂产生任何的疑惑。祂停留在世上的目的是为了利益很多的众生。对华人来说，金甲衣与你很有殊缘，因为广为华人熟知的大乘佛法都以阿弥陀佛持修为主流。虽然如此，金甲衣却不会理会你是谁，只要你认真地持修祂的法门，严守戒律和学习佛法转化个人的行为，那么祂就会在身边守护着你。你会发现金甲衣在不知觉中影响了你的人生，许多不能做到的事情都能完成，许多曾经失去的东西也可以再找回来，许多让你误入歧途的事物，亦可以重头找到对的新方向。(Source: http://resources.tsemtulku.com/cn/cn-buddhas/%E6%8A%A4%E6%B3%95-cn-buddhas/%E9%87%91%E7%94%B2%E8%A1%A3.html)

He Xiangu 何仙姑 3/9/2014

He Xiangu (meaning "Immortal Woman He") is the only female deity among the Eight Immortals figures in Daoism. She is often described as a morally pure woman, an ideal daughter, and a selfless seeker after spiritual freedom. In iconography, she is typically pictured bearing a lotus flower or a peach (of immortality). She is one of the few female deities revered as members of the Daoist pantheon.
Member of the Eight Immortals: 
He Xiangu is one of the illustrious Eight Immortals (Ba Xian), a group of Daoist/folk deities who play an important role in Chinese religion and culture. While they are famed for espousing and teaching Daoist philosophy and cultivation practices, they are also figures of popular myth and legend that are known for their devotion to the downtrodden and their collective lifestyle of “free and easy wandering.” Though they are most often depicted and described in the context of their group, each has their own particular set of tales, iconography, and areas of patronage.
(by New World Encyclopedia)

Legend: 
He Xiangu (何仙姑), also named He Qiong (何瓊). She was from Yong Prefecture (today Linglin County) during the Tang Dynasty, or from a wealthy and generous family in Zēngchéng County (增城縣), Guangdong.
At birth she had six long hairs on the crown of her head. When she was about 14 or 15, a divine personage appeared to her in a dream and instructed her to eat powdered mica, in order that her body might become etherealized and immune from death. So she swallowed it, and also vowed to remain a virgin.
Later on by slow degrees she gave up taking ordinary food.
The Empress Wu dispatched a messenger to summon her to attend at the palace, but on the way there, she disappeared.
One day during the Jinglong (景龍) period (about 707 CE), she ascended to heaven in broad daylight, and became a Xian (Taoist Immortal).
Her lotus flower improves one's health, mental and physical. She is depicted holding a lotus flower, and sometimes with the musical instrument known as Shēng, or a fènghuáng bird to accompany her. She may also carry a bamboo ladle or fly-whisk. (from Wikipedia)

〖簽文〗：參評言語，波濤揚沸，事久無傷，時間不利。
Explanation:
〖解簽〗：參(參宿-獵戶座)和商(心宿-天蠍座)都是二十八宿之一，兩顆星宿(或稱星官)不能同時在天空出現。這裡用以比喻不同意見的評論，也就是批評。簡直是一場大批判。執反對意見的人，掀起了一個沸騰的場面。不論對方的出發點如何，不論善意還是惡意，反正你這也不行，那也不行，橫豎通不過。當然，錯不在你。要別人對你有一個全面的認識和瞭解，還需要一段時間。目前這段時間對你來說，確實不利。
這正像我們找對象，遭到一方家長、親友、同學、領導、師傅的一致反對。這一段日子就不會順了。你遭人白眼。低三下四像個罪犯。熱臉挨冷臉，冷言冷語透心涼。但事隔一段人們對你長期觀察之後，逐漸改變了他們的看法，便不再那麼不順眼，漸漸地溫和起來。至少，他們也會愛屋及烏，沖你對象的面子看。

Mahamayuri mantra 南無佛母大金孔雀明王心咒 23/3/2014

Mahamayuri has three heads. Mahamayuri is green in colour and her three faces are green, white and blue in colour. Mahamayuri is eight armed. One of her four right hands displays varadamudra while the other three hands hold a sword, vajra and jewel. In her four left hands she holds pindapatra, a jar showering jewels, a bell and a flower. She is seated on a lotus throne. She wears all the ornaments and celestial garments peculiar to a Bodhisattva.
According to the Mahamayuri sutra of Pancaraksha, there was a bhiksu called venerable Svati. He was newly ordained in the Buddhist community of monks. He was unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake and fainted. On seeing his condition venerable Ananda reported this incident to Buddha Shakyamuni. Lord Buddha, out of compassion for the newly ordained monk and the future ones, disclosed a dharani which was capable of eliminating poisonous harm and malignant diseases. This was the dharani of Arya Mahamayuri.
There is another story about this deity. There was a golden King peacock in the Himalayan mountain who used to recite Mahamayuri dharani with great devotion. It so happened one day that this king went along with his family to travel in the mountain forgetting to recite the dharani that day. He was caught by hunters. Thinking of his forgetfulness of the dharani he immediately began to recite and was able to free himself. The Buddha told Ananda that the peacock king called Suvarnavabhasa (i.e. golden coloured one) was none other than Buddha Shakyamuni himself. Thus this dharani is believed to be efficacious in all cases of dangers as well as for relieving poisonous harms. (by http://www.himalayanmart.com/mahamayuri.php)
大孔雀明王，或譯大孔雀咒王，也稱大孔雀明王菩薩、孔雀多羅菩薩、孔雀度母，簡稱孔雀明王（梵語:महामायूरी，Mahamayuri，藏語：རྨ་བྱ་ཆེན་མོ།，Majachenmo）。佛教的佛母五大明王(女性五位明王)（藏語：རིག་པའི་རྒྱལ་མོ་ལྔ།，Rigpegyalmonga）[1]之一，佛教認為孔雀明王是諸佛事業化現的多羅菩薩(度母)其中一位化身。是以「滅一切諸毒怖畏災惱」、「攝受覆育一切有情獲得安樂」為主要特色的本尊，但功德遠遠不只如此。
孔雀明王有許多不同的形象，主要除了三面六臂的形象，還有依《大孔雀明王畫像壇場儀軌》所載一面四臂的形象︰「於蓮華胎上畫佛母大孔雀明王菩薩。頭向東方，白色，著白繒輕衣。頭冠、瓔珞、耳璫、臂釧，種種莊嚴，乘金色孔雀王，結跏趺坐白蓮華上或青綠花上，住慈悲相。有四臂，右邊第一手執開敷蓮華，第二手持俱緣果，左邊第一手當心掌持吉祥菓，第二手執三、五莖孔雀尾。」在胎藏界曼荼羅中，此尊被安置於蘇悉地院南端的第六位。
孔雀明王的經典主要是《孔雀明王經》，有許多不同譯本，包括：失譯者名的《大金色孔雀王咒經》一卷、《佛說大金色孔雀王咒經》一卷、梁代僧伽婆羅三藏法師譯的《孔雀王咒經》二卷、姚秦鳩摩羅什三藏法師譯的《孔雀王咒經》一卷、唐代義淨三藏法師譯的《佛說大孔雀咒王經》三卷、唐代不空三藏法師譯的《佛母大王經》三卷。其中義淨三藏法師與不空三藏法師的兩個譯本，經文比較完整，也都非常通暢達意。
另外還有《孔雀經等真言梵本》、唐代不空三藏法師譯的《佛說大孔雀明王畫像壇場儀軌》。
《孔雀護衛經》這部是上座部佛教早晚課必誦的，記載世尊的前生還是修行菩薩時期有一世是孔雀明王，並非叫金耀文中的金耀指的是太陽神，因為與其他孔雀與眾不同，導致許多獵人要捕捉孔雀明王（釋迦牟尼佛的前身），可是孔雀明王每天早晚禱告太陽神和諸佛以及了脫生死的聖人保佑平安祈求文，獵人們就沒有抓住。後來獵人在孔雀的發情期間抓了許多雌孔雀並嚇打這些雌性發出叫聲，由於孔雀明王很久沒交配一聽到雌性叫聲忘了念誦祈禱文，一下子衝過去就被抓了孔雀明王十分懊惱再度想起祈禱太陽神諸佛解脫聖人的護衛文，一直念誦奇蹟般的逃跑了。(from Wikipedia)

Skanda (Buddhism) 韋陀菩薩心咒 20/3/2014; saw at 20/3/2014; dreamed 7/11/2014

"Om Veda Tin Da Maha Tin Da Svaha"

據說韋馱原型是婆羅門教大自在天的兒子，天兵元帥室建陀。
韋馱原為四大天王中，南方增長天王手下八神將之一。
四大部洲中，北俱盧洲人不持佛法，而韋馱天曾親受如來咐囑，統領東勝神洲、西牛賀洲、南瞻部洲，三洲護持佛法之事項，護祐僧侶、居士，故稱「三洲感應」，號稱「三洲感應護法韋馱尊天菩薩」。
一些漢傳佛教寺院中，建有護法殿，專門供奉韋馱天。漢化韋馱天為穿戴盔甲的少年武將形象，手持法器金剛杵，或雙手合十將杵擱置肘間（表示該寺為十方叢林，接待寺），或以杵拄地（表示該寺為非接待寺）。通常置於天王殿大肚彌勒佛像背後，臉朝向大雄寶殿。
唐密傳承的韋陀菩薩護世真言Om Veda Tin Da Maha Tin Da Svaha，在日本佛教東密方面，亦有極少數阿闍梨有傳授此陀羅尼。
修持此真言可得到韋陀菩薩的護佑，降伏內心魔外天魔及一切巫術邪法，與西密的韋陀菩薩降魔心咒功德相同，並駕齊驅。
Skanda, also known as Wei Tuo, is a Mahayana bodhisattva regarded as a devoted guardian of Buddhist monasteries who guards the Buddhist teachings. He is also sometimes called in the Chinese tradition "Hufa Weituo Zuntian Pusa", meaning "Honored Dharma Protector Skanda Bodhisattva", because he is the leader of the twenty-four celestial guardian deities mentioned in the Golden Light Sutra.
In Chinese temples, Skanda faces the statue of the Buddha in the main shrine. In others, he is on the far right of the main shrine, whereas on the left is his counterpart, Sangharama (personified as the historical general Guan Yu). In Chinese sutras, his image is found at the end of the sutra, a reminder of his vow to protect and preserve the teachings.
According to legends, Skanda was the son of a virtuous king who had complete faith in Buddha's teachings. When the Buddha entered nirvana, the Buddha instructed Skanda to guard the Dharma. It was his duty to protect members of the sangha when they are disturbed by Mara, the tempter, and also to resolve conflicts amongst members of the sangha. A few days after the Buddha's passing and cremation, evil demons robbed his relics. Skanda's vow of protecting the faith and Dharma was proven when he managed to defeat the evil demons and returned the relics.
韋馱天（梵文：Skanda），佛教的知名護法神，為執金剛神之一。韋馱天的形象，一般是古代身披盔甲、手持寶杵（降魔杵）的武士。統領東，西，南三洲巡遊護法事宜，保護出家人，護持佛法，故也有人將韋馱天的形象，印在佛經與佛教典籍的末頁，以此希望得到韋馱天的護持。佛滅度後，相傳有羅剎將釋迦牟尼佛的舍利子搶回去供奉，多虧善於行走的韋馱奮力追奪回來。

Verse:
〖詩曰〗上接不穩，下接不和，相纏相擾，平地風波。
Explanation:
〖簽釋〗這簽詩就象一道謎主，讓人時猜不透。上接不穩，下接不和象徵的字為"尖"。這個字由小和大組成，小在上，上接不穩，大在下方，下接當然不和，不平衡。尖的形狀是上小下大，這也是平地起風波的原因。
多與少，長與短，小與本身就是不平衡，若小者自甘小，不爭多少與長短，那也相安無事；若大者能讓其小，分長予短，分多予少，也不會相纏擾。看來，各不相讓，風波難免。這將是一場"大人"與"小人"的格鬥，挑戰者是"小人"的一方。這有如以下的幾種人際關係：父母與子女，師生，上級與下屬，老闆與雇員，長官與士兵，兄與弟，姐與妹，妻子與丈夫，正妻與外妻，妻與妾等等，簽詩沒暗示任何一方在這場風波中的勝負，只是告這主要矛盾來源，讓你自己開動腦筋去擺平。去渡過一段動盪的歲月。

【故事】薛公大鬧花燈跌死太子驚死聖駕。
  薛剛求得母親樊梨花的同意，跑回房裡準備衣物，要到西遼白虎關，探望姑姑薛金蓮和姑丈杜一虎。薛丁山愈想愈不對，這孩子雖然勇武過人，可是太任性了，喝起酒來更是無法自制，讓他出遠門著實放心不下。
　臨走之前，薛丁山千叮嚀、萬交代，在外頭不准喝酒，同時要薛剛當面發誓。「今後要是喝酒，那就全家死光光！」薛剛若無其事，隨口就立下誓言，說罷，提著行李連繃帶跳，向父親辭行。
  這一天薛剛路過天雄山，被一群強盜攔了下來，帶頭的首領伍雄，自以為拳腳功夫一流，不料一來一往鬥了半天卻佔不到便宜。一問之下，才知道眼前是鼎鼎大名的通城虎薛剛。
  「英雄惜英雄，好漢疼好漢。」伍雄邀請薛剛上山，從此稱兄道弟，擺開宴席，薛剛也破了酒戒。看看又是歲末冬寒，伍雄好意地留薛剛在山寨過年。
  轉眼已經是元宵佳節，為了祈求國泰民安，皇帝特別擴大舉辦花燈比賽。薛剛提早進了城，和一群兄弟在酒樓裡喝酒尋開心。太陽一下山，果然街道上火樹銀花、家家戶戶張燈結彩，把長安城點綴得燦爛耀眼。
  薛剛醉醺醺地下了酒樓，隨著人潮來到五鳳樓，樓上一對龍鳳呈祥的花燈顯得格外顯眼，薛剛才到門口就被擋住了，「站住！這是為張宰相安排的，不准進來。」「少囉唆」薛剛手一推，守門的大漢跌坐在地上，「打人啦！」守門大漢一聲叫喊，張宰相的兒子張保，也就是當今聖上的義子，帶領了一群家丁壯漢，撲向薛剛，薛剛一看來勢洶洶，一腳踹出，把張保踢出一丈開外，當場氣絕。
  薛剛也不管是死是活，搖搖晃晃地直上五鳳樓，一時酒性發作，躺在樓上呼呼睡著了。正好張宰相聽到消息趕過來，一聲令下，不費吹灰之力就把薛剛綑綁，抬到樓下時，薛剛還睡得正甜咧！
  薛剛闖入五鳳樓踢死殿下，事情大條，張宰相在皇帝面前痛哭申冤，高宗皇帝一聽五鳳樓出了人命大怒，下旨明日午時處決薛剛。
  消息傳開，老千歲程咬金大驚，心想：高宗皇帝年邁體衰，武后掌握大權，朝政日非，張保仗父親權勢，被武后收為義子，穢亂禁宮，惡名昭彰，薛剛打死張保也算是替天行道，罪有應得。
  翌日午時正要行刑時，忽然人群騷動，伍雄率領眾弟兄殺入法場，劫走薛剛，一聲呼嘯，早已逃得無影無蹤。大隊官兵追到城門，只見程咬金騎在馬背上大聲喊叫：「快往東邊追！快呀！」一群官兵順著程老千歲手指的方向狂奔，程咬金心裡暗自得意，劫法場的策略終於成功了。
  高宗皇帝本來就龍體欠安，元宵夜又死了殿下張保，怒火攻心，現在又聽到光天化日公然劫囚，讓薛剛逃了，高宗悚然大驚，臉色慘白，大叫一聲，從此斷了氣。
  高宗駕崩，中宗繼承皇位，有名無實，幾個月後，宰相張君左擁武后登基，張宰相餘恨未消，把平遼王薛丁山構陷成罪，除了樊梨花、薛蛟和薛剛之外，一家三百多口都被殺害，還下旨鑄成鐵坵墳，讓薛家永世不能翻身，直到武則天晚年，剷除張君左，薛剛從漢陽接回太子李旦復國，繼承大統，這才打開鐵坵墳，重建王府。

2.龐涓死在馬陵道(龐涓馬陵中箭)。
  孫臏曾與龐涓為龐涓和孫臏原為師兄弟，拜鬼谷子學習兵法。龐涓後來出仕魏國，擔任了魏惠王的將軍，但是他認為自己的才能比不上孫臏，於是暗地派人將孫臏請到魏國加以監視。孫臏到魏國後，龐涓嫉妒他的才能，於是捏造罪名將孫臏處以臏刑(斬斷雙腳)和黥刑(臉上刺青，使人知道他是罪犯)，想使他埋沒於世不為人知，後來孫臏裝瘋吃屎而逃出一劫。當齊國使者出使至魏國首都大梁，孫臏以刑徒的身份秘密拜見齊國使者，用言辭打動了他。齊國使者覺得孫臏不同凡響，於是偷偷地用車將他載回齊國。逃奔到齊國的孫臏得到了田忌的賞識，於是他寄居于田忌門下擔任門客。
  數年後，魏國派兵包圍趙國首都邯鄲，趙國派使者向齊、楚兩國求救。孫臏隨田忌率領救援趙國，孫臏採用圍魏救趙的戰術，率軍襲擊魏國首都大梁。
  龐涓得知消息後急忙從韓國撤軍返回魏國，但齊軍此時已向西進軍。孫臏考慮到魏軍自恃其勇，一定會輕視齊軍，況且齊軍也有怯戰的名聲，應採用誘敵深入的戰術，引誘魏軍進入埋伏圈後加以殲滅。孫臏命令進入魏國境內的齊軍第一天埋設十萬個做飯的灶，第二天減為五萬個，第三天減為三萬個。龐涓行軍三天查看齊軍留下的灶後非常高興，說：「我本來就知道齊軍怯懦，進入魏國境內才三天，齊國士兵就已經逃跑了一大半。」於是丟下步兵，只帶領精銳騎兵日夜兼程追擊齊軍。孫臏估算龐涓天黑能行進至馬陵，馬陵道路狹窄，兩旁又多是峻隘險阻，孫臏於是命士兵砍去道旁大樹的樹皮，露出白木，在樹上寫上「龐涓死於此樹之下」，然後命令一萬名弓弩手埋伏在馬陵道兩旁，約定「天黑能在此處看到有火光就萬箭齊發」。龐涓果然當晚趕到砍去樹皮的大樹下，見到白木上寫著字，於是點火查看。字還沒讀完，齊軍伏兵萬箭齊發，魏軍大亂。龐涓自知敗局已定，於是拔劍自刎，臨死前說道：「遂成豎子之名！」齊軍乘勝追擊，殲滅魏軍十萬人，俘虜魏國主將太子申。經此一戰魏國元氣大傷，從此每況愈下，而齊國則稱霸東方。

〖诗曰〗事有喜，面有光，终始好商量，壶中日月长。
Explanation:
〖签释〗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。

The Heart Sutra 22/5/2013

"TEYATHA GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA"

The Heart Sutra
Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, meditating deeply on Perfection of Wisdom, saw clearly that the five aspects of human existence are empty*, and so released himself from suffering.  Answering the monk Sariputra, he said this:

Body is nothing more than emptiness, 
emptiness is nothing more than body. 
The body is exactly empty, 
and emptiness is exactly body.
The other four aspects of human existence -- 
feeling, thought, will, and consciousness -- 
are likewise nothing more than emptiness, 
and emptiness nothing more than they.

All things are empty: 
Nothing is born, nothing dies, 
nothing is pure, nothing is stained, 
nothing increases and nothing decreases.

So, in emptiness, there is no body, 
no feeling, no thought, 
no will, no consciousness. 
There are no eyes, no ears, 
no nose, no tongue, 
no body, no mind. 
There is no seeing, no hearing, 
no smelling, no tasting, 
no touching, no imagining. 
There is nothing seen, nor heard, 
nor smelled, nor tasted, 
nor touched, nor imagined.

There is no ignorance, 
and no end to ignorance. 
There is no old age and death, 
and no end to old age and death. 
There is no suffering, no cause of suffering, 
no end to suffering, no path to follow. 
There is no attainment of wisdom, 
and no wisdom to attain.

The Bodhisattvas rely on the Perfection of Wisdom, 
and so with no delusions, 
they feel no fear, 
and have Nirvana here and now.

All the Buddhas, 
past, present, and future, 
rely on the Perfection of Wisdom, 
and live in full enlightenment.

The Perfection of Wisdom is the greatest mantra. 
It is the clearest mantra, 
the highest mantra, 
the mantra that removes all suffering.

This is truth that cannot be doubted. 
Say it so:
Gaté, 
gaté, 
paragaté, 
parasamgaté. 
Bodhi! 
Svaha!

Which means...
      Gone, 
      gone, 
      gone over, 
      gone fully over. 
      Awakened! 
      So be it!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
* Emptiness is the usual translation for the Buddhist term Sunyata (or Shunyata).  It refers to the fact that no thing -- including human existence -- has ultimate substantiality, which in turn means that no thing is permanent and no thing is totally independent of everything else.  In other words, everything in this world is interconnected and in constant flux.  A deep appreciation of this idea of emptiness thus saves us from the suffering caused by our egos, our attachments, and our resistance to change and loss.
Note:  Perfection of Wisdom is a translation of Prajnaparamita.  The full title of this sutra is The Heart of Prajnaparamita Sutra.

Padmasambhava mantra 蓮師心咒 28/4/2013; saw at 28/9/2013

Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hūṃ. (Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum)
Padmasambhava was a historical teacher who is said to have finally converted Tibet to Buddhism. He was a renowned scholar, meditator, and magician, and his mantra suggests his rich and diverse nature.
Om Ah Hum have no conceptual meaning.
Om is often regarded as being the primeval sound, and in fact the sound-symbol of reality itself. It represents the universal principle of enlightenment. You can read about Om in more detail on the page about the Om Shanti mantra.
Ah, in traditional explanations, is usually said to be connected with speech (more about that in a moment) but in Sanskrit “ah” is a verb meaning “to express , signify ; to call (by name).” So it suggests evoking, or calling forth, the manifestation of enlightenment.
Hum is often thought of as representing the manifestation of enlightenment in the individual human being. This may be a complete coincidence, but hum is similar to the first person singular “aham,” which means of course “I.”
Often these syllables are associated with body, speech, and mind respectively (i.e. the whole of one’s being). So there’s a suggestion that we are saluting the qualities that Padmasambhava represents with all of our hearts (and minds, and bodies).
Vajra means thunderbolt, and represents the energy of the enlightened mind. It can also mean diamond. The implication is that the diamond/thunderbolt can cut through anything. The diamond is the indestructible object, while the thunderbolt is the unstoppable force. The vajra also stands for compassion. While it may seem odd to have such a “masculine” object representing compassion, this makes sense in esoteric Buddhism because compassion is active, and therefore aligned with this masculine symbol. (The term “masculine” does not of course imply that compassion is limited to males!)
Guru, of course, means a wise teacher. It comes from a root word, garu, which means “weighty.” So you can think of the guru as one who is a weighty teacher. Padmasambhava is so highly regarded in Tibetan Buddhism that he is often referred to as the second Buddha.
Padma means lotus, calling to mind the purity of the enlightened mind, because the lotus flower, although growing in muddy water, is completely stainless. In the same way the enlightened mind is surrounded by the greed, hatred, and delusion that is found in the world, and yet remains untouched by it. The lotus therefore represents wisdom. Again, while westerners would tend to assume that the flower represents compassion, the receptive nature of the flower gives it a “feminine” status in esoteric Buddhism, and to the lotus is aligned with the “feminine” quality of wisdom. And once again, there is no implication that wisdom is in any way limited to those who are female. The words masculine and feminine here are used in a technical sense that’s completely unrelated to biology.
And Siddhi means accomplishment or supernatural powers, suggesting the way in which those who are enlightened can act wisely, but in ways that we can’t necessarily understand. Padmasambhava is a magical figure, and in his biography there are many miracles and tussles with supernatural beings.

(蓮師波若法眼)

俺阿吽班雜咕魯叭嘛悉地吽 Om Ah HUm VAJRa GURu PADMa SIDDHi HUM
（西藏文發音爲Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Péma Siddhi Hung）
俺阿吽 班雜咕魯叭嘛悉地吽是蓮花生大士咒，稱爲金剛上師咒，是西藏最有名的兩種咒之壹（另壹種是大悲觀世音菩薩咒，俺嘛呢叭彌吽）
俺阿吽
有外內密三義。不過，在這三個層次上俺代表身，阿代表語，吽代表意。他們代表壹切諸佛的身語意轉化功能的加持。
就外在意義而言，俺淨化壹切身惡業（身有三惡：殺生、偷盜、邪淫），阿淨化壹切語惡業（語有四惡：妄語、惡口、绮語、兩舌），吽淨化壹切意惡業（心有三惡：貪、瞋、癡。）。 由于淨化妳的身、語、意，俺阿吽提供諸佛的身語意加持。
俺也是形色的精華，阿是聲音的精華，吽是心的精華。念這個咒，妳就是在淨化環境、妳自己和其他壹切衆生。俺淨化壹切認知，阿淨化壹切聲音，吽淨化心及其思想、情緒。
就內在意義而言，俺淨化脈，阿淨化氣，吽淨化明點。
在較深的層次裏，俺阿吽代表蓮花部諸佛的三身，俺是法身，阿彌陀佛；阿是報身，大悲觀世音菩薩；吽是化身，蓮花生大士。這個咒象征三身體現于蓮花生大士。
就秘密的意義而言，俺阿吽帶來心性三個層面的證悟：俺帶來它源源不斷的能量和慈悲的證悟，阿帶來它光輝的自性證悟，吽帶來它虛空般的明點的證悟。
班雜咕魯叭嘛
班雜比喻爲金剛鑽，它是石頭中最堅硬和最珍貴的。就像金剛鑽能切割萬物，本身卻不容易被摧毀；同理諸佛的永恒不二，絕對不會受到無明的傷害或摧毀，反而能夠斬斷壹切愚癡和業障。諸佛身、語和智慧心的聖性和作爲，有如金剛鑽般能夠穿透萬物而不受阻礙的力量，可以利益衆生。像金剛鑽壹般，沒有瑕疵；它的巨大力量來自證悟實相的法身性、阿彌陀佛的自性。
咕魯的意思是“有力的”，指具有非常殊勝德行的人，他象征智慧、知識、慈悲和方便。就好像黃金是最貴重的金屬壹般，咕魯（上師）具有不可思議、毫無瑕疵的品質、使他變成無可超越，殊勝無比。咕魯比喻報身和大悲觀世音菩薩。同時，因爲蓮花生大士教導密績之道（以“班雜”爲象征），而且透過密績的修行得到最高證悟，所以他被成爲“班雜咕魯”（金剛上師）。
叭嘛的意思是蓮花，象征蓮花部諸佛，特別是他們的覺悟話語。蓮花部是人類所屬的佛部。阿彌陀佛是蓮花部的本初佛，蓮花生大士則是阿彌陀佛的化身，因此他被成爲“叭嘛”。事實上，“蓮花生”是指他在蓮花中出生的故事。
當“班雜咕魯叭嘛”七個字母在壹起的時，也象征見、定、行的本性和加持，“班雜”義爲不變的真理、金剛鑽般、不可摧毀的本性，我們祈求在“見”中證悟它。“咕魯”代表覺悟的光明本性和神聖品質，我們祈求在我們的“定”中證悟它，“叭嘛”代表慈悲，我們祈求在我們的“行”中成就它。
因此，透過頌念這個咒，我們可以獲得蓮花生大士和壹切佛的智慧心、神聖品質和慈悲的加持。
悉地吽
悉地的意思是“真正成就”、“證得”、“加持”和“證悟”，悉地有兩種：壹般的和無上的。透過接受壹般悉地的加持，我們生命中的壹切障礙（如健康不佳）可以全部清除，我們的壹切願望可以滿足，諸如財富、地位、長壽自然會增加，生命中的各種環境也會變得吉祥，並有助于修行和覺悟。
無上悉地的成就可以産生覺悟，這是蓮花生大士的圓滿證悟境界，能利益自己和壹切衆生。因此，憶想和祈求蓮花生大士的身、口、意、聖性和作爲，可以讓我們證得壹般和無上悉地。
悉地吽可以如磁鐵吸引鐵屑般地吸進壹切悉地
吽代表諸佛的智慧心，是咒的神聖催化劑。它好像是在宣布它的力量和真理：“它就是了。”
這個咒的重要意義是：“我祈請妳，金剛上師，蓮花生大士，以妳的加持力賜給我們壹般和無上的成就。”

Green Tara Mantra - Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha 13/4/2013; saw at 12/6/2013, 13/6/2013, 8/6/2014, 16/8/2017

Tara Mantra 綠度母

Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Svāhā / Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha

Tara means “star” or “The one who ferries across”, or “She Who Saves”. Really, she represents compassion in action, since she’s in the process of stepping from her lotus throne in order to help the suffering sentient beings. Tara’s name is said to derive from the verb meaning “to cross” or “to traverse” or “to get to the other side.”  The word Tara also literally means “star.” Like a star she shines and helps us guide our lives in a safe direction. A third meaning of “tara” is “the pupil of the eye,” suggesting her as the watching presence, who watches over those who navigate the treacherous waters of life in search of the further shore of liberation.
OM represents Tara’s sacred and enlightened body, speech and mind.
TARE means liberating from all discontent.
TUTTARE means liberating from the eight fears, the external dangers and also from the internal dangers such as ignorance and delusions.
TURE means liberating from duality; it shows the true cessation of confusion.
SOHA means “may the meaning of the mantra take root in my mind.”

嗡 達咧 嘟達列 嘟列娑哈

經典上說綠度母菩薩亦為二十一度母的主尊，總攝其餘二十尊化身之所有功德，本尊心咒具足一切息增懷誅之功用，消除一切眾生的煩惱痛苦、滿足一切眾生願求，現世富貴長壽平安吉祥、除諸病苦業魔障礙等，幫助眾生解脫生死苦海，命終往生極樂世界，獲得究竟的安樂，因為其救度之迅速、摧滅魔業之勇猛，故又稱作「救度速勇母」。常念綠度母心咒，能斷輪迴病苦之根源，免除一切魔障，也能去除瘟疫種種病苦，消除世間一切災難，增長壽命、福慧，凡有所求無不如願靈應如響。

White Tara 白度母
Tibetans usually think of Tara as having 21 manifestations, as she does in the common Tibetan Buddhist prayer. In Praise of the 21 Taras. In each form she takes a different color, like Blue Tara and Black Tara, and offers a different energy or virtue to help us on our spiritual paths. Of these 21 Taras, the two most popular are Green Tara and White Tara. Tara’s name in Tibetan is Dolma, and you can see then that White Tara’s Tibetan name, Dolkar, is a short form of Dolma Karpo, which means White Dolma.

此尊菩薩乃是由觀世音菩薩的悲心化現，一面二臂顏容端正，法相寂靜、殊妙莊嚴，乃佛教中治病延壽事業的本尊菩薩之一，如月光般清淨的無垢光明照耀世間，縱然百千萬星宿俱時為聚集，殊勝威光仍然遠超於彼，受到各方眾生的禮敬，身相白色為息災之意，全身有七隻眼睛，雙手雙腳各有一眼，第三隻眼睛則在眉心中央，故又稱為「七眼佛母」，七眼能夠照見一切瘟疫疾病的緣起從而消滅之。本尊菩薩的功德誓願和心咒主要為息滅眾生的病苦、消除因冤業、痴業、魔障引起的傳染病、瘟疫、各種病症，亦可對治蠱毒惡咒引起的疾病，幫修行者去除逆緣、增長壽量、解脫生死輪迴。

〖签释〗虽然你见多识广，经验丰富，但面临着新问题，却不得不认真加以研究一番。先将自己关锁起来，闭门读书。在这个新的课题中。纲领性的精神你很快便能领会，但不能忽视其中的细节。这一条条一款款的细节，你如果逐一深入研究，弄懂搞通，只按老经验去办，就会捅出大娄子来，造成巨大的损失。千里长堤，溃于蚁穴，了未可知。因循，也就是守旧。这里指按老黃历办新事往往会出差错。总之，不能以老办法对付新问题。要注意细节的功夫，愈谨慎愈好。

Verse:
〖卦语〗青毡空守旧，枝上巢生风，莫为一时喜，还疑此象凶。
Explanation:
〖释义〗你交上了桃花运，自以为很得意，却不明白桃花运是背运，一味地沉湎于欲海里。你能高兴多久呢?灾难就要降临到你的头上。你的家人，并不知道你的全部情况，但多少也是明白一点，是出于对你的关心和爱护，也为了维护你的尊严，更抱着让你回心转意的期望，而苦苦地等待着，保持着原有的生活模式，可心里却又愁又苦。你的灾难不是来自家里，而是另外的，别的枝条上的巢，那就是你和外室。巢生，这是指的是险，是灾难。最大的风险是命案，不是你有杀身之祸，就是你杀了别人要偿命。第二种可能是由此而获牢狱之灾，再次是患上花柳疾病，终生难治。受苦的是你，更苦的是你的家人。

Verse:
〖诗曰〗心细胆粗，可胜上将之任，勇往直前，成败何必在心？胸中把持得定，敌人自能受困。
Explanation:
〖签释〗当你在胜负难料，徘徊不前的犹疑之中，神签=告诉你，不要再豫了，只管勇往直前去干，因为你具备了一个优秀指挥员的才能和素质--心细胆粗。这样自然就不必将成功与失败看得那么严重，池然也就不会这重心理压力和包袱。你的弱点就的自己的犹豫，瞻前顾后，优柔寡断，畏缩不前，那样怎不误战机呢?从战略上讲，你不必马上迎上与对方短兵相接，展开正面的大冲突和大搏杀。只需采取缓兵之计，拖隹对方，同时设法团团围困对方，造碾于对方不利的困局，不用多久，就能不攻处破，取得最后的彻底胜利。

Verse:
〖诗曰〗不远有近，似易似难，等闲一事，云中笑看。
Explanation:
〖签释〗这条签如果光从字面上看浅显明白，很容易被忽视。其实，中间深藏着玄机，不经点破，是难以弄懂得。原来这件等闲的小事，这件不远不近，似易似难，中不溜儿的事情要办得完善的话，关键在于"云中笑看"。
易经八卦里，乾，坤，震，巽，坎，离，艮，兑所对自然事物分别为天地雷，水，火，山，泽。按照今天的常识，谁都会认为云是由水蒸气凝而成，主要构成成份应为水。那么，签诗中的云是不是代表水，代表"离"卦呢?错了，古人认为云是当聚集而成的所以，将云归为一类，也就是说，对应的卦应当是"巽"。巽卦，所对应的方位是东南，季节是春夏之交，所对应的动物是属相是鸡，属性是入，这个入含进入，进一步，渗透等意思。你将这些与自己卜问的事联系在一起反复考虑几遍，就是顿然大悟的。

Verse:
〖卦语〗红叶无颜色，凋零一夜风；邻鸡醒午梦，心事总成空。
Explanation:
〖释义〗萧飒的秋风，一夜之间竟将红叶糟蹋得破败不堪。 良好的愿望，就象白日的美梦，被邻居家的雄鸡惊破。 自古红颜多薄命，不幸的原因之一，就是因为美丽贤慧而遭到妒忌的暗箭---------风言语的攻击，巽如风如鸡，五行属木。这种毁灭性的打击可以理解为所有人为的口头信息，比如：错误的命令，坏消息，挑拨离间的馋言，诬蔑，诽谤，恐吓，虚伪的甜言蜜语… "巽在床下，丧其资斧。"后果是不吉利的。有丧失资财的可能性，好事成空，转为败局。 此签要求我们，谨防来自东南方向的女人和一个仪表整洁的文人，此人是一个油滑的小官史，姓氏中带有草木偏旁。在你家里，室内不要摆放花草盆栽，也不要持那种招风的山水树木鸡禽图画。事情最终还要靠较高职位的官员，为你说话，化解凶薮。
