Who is the Bodhisattva? To be more specific, it is best to look at the appearance, what is the truth of this bodhisattva.
The general trend is bodhisattva, whose Sanskrit name is Mahāsthāmaprāpta and Tibetan name is Mhu-Chen-thob, the right assistant minister of Amitabha, also known as Dajue Bodhisattva, or Shi Zhi for short. Together with Amitabha and Guanyin Bodhisattva (Amitabha's left attendant), they are called "the Three Saints of the West". "。 It is said in the Chinese Book of Sorrow and Music that once upon a time there was a wheel king. Big prince is the Guanyin Bodhisattva, the second Prince is the general trend Bodhisattva, the third Prince is the Manjusri Bodhisattva, and the eighth Prince is the Bodhisattva. Later, it was the turn of the holy king to become a Buddha, that is, Amitabha in the western paradise, Guanyin and the general trend became his father's left and right servants. According to the "Guanyin Endless Life Sutra", the Bodhisattva shines on all sentient beings in the world with a unique light of wisdom, so that all sentient beings can get rid of the bloody sword and soldiers, gain supreme strength, and feel at ease in strength. Therefore, Bodhisattva is considered to be the first in light and wisdom. Wherever it goes, the world shakes and protects all sentient beings from evil spirits. The influence of the Great Trend Bodhisattva on Chinese folk beliefs is far less than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Few bodhisattvas respect the general trend alone. Its image is recorded in Guan Wu Tian Shou Jing, with purple and golden light, and its instruments and decorations are the same as those of Guanyin Bodhisattva. According to Aladoro Dalagni's A Lu Li Thumbnail, avalokitesvara and Guanyin are both pure gold and white, with a right hand drawing and a left hand lotus flower. Avalokitesvara is slightly smaller than Guanyin. In the tantric picture, Mancharo, who is the second on the pillar in Guanyin Courtyard, is flesh-colored, holding the lotus in his left hand and bending three fingers in his right hand, putting it on his chest and sitting on the red lotus. The secret code holds the wheel of king kong, and samadhi is shaped like a lotus flower that has not been opened. When the general trend reaches the point where the Bodhisattva lifts her feet and walks, everything will shake in the tenth century, and the earth will shake, and 50 billion treasures will be born. Bao Hua is noble and solemn, and its majesty is like a paradise. When the Bodhisattva sits down, the ground of the Seven Treasures of China will shake for a while at first, and then gradually expand, down to the Golden Buddha Country and up to the King of Light Buddha. There are countless three incarnations between the upper and lower realms, all gathered in the Elysium, filled the whole air, sat on the lotus seat, and made profound and wonderful speeches to help all beings. The general trend is that the Bodhisattva learned the Buddha's method of chanting Buddha in the moonlight, so as to recite Buddha's mind and be patient. Generally speaking, 789 yuan teaches bodhisattvas to prove that they have no endurance. All get six, and the net reading is one after another. These two sentences are ways to recite Buddha. Don't borrow any way to help you. Open-mindedness corresponds to the thorough consciousness of the three secretaries of Zen and Tantric Buddhism, that is, becoming a Buddha. Self-satisfaction means being rational and inseparable, and entering Samadhi is the first thing to prove. The two great bodhisattvas, General Trend and Avalokitesvara, now live in this world of concubines, reluctant to part with Buddhism, so that they can live in the pure land after leaving Sanlu. Reading Buddha is the method, and only with wisdom can you read Buddha. Smart people in the world are not necessarily smart. Cleverness is the wisdom of the world and one of the eight difficulties. Any one of the eight difficulties is an obstacle to practice, to the three realms, and to the enlightenment of life and death. The genitals are round and round, and the wonderful use is unobstructed. Miao Zhi's reasons are flexible. With the method of chanting Buddha, you can reach the realm of tact. Bodhisattva's mantra: Hum, Bazaar, Hey, Hum, Bazaar, Zhanzha, Mahalukana. Ah, the mantra of the general trend: no ng b ā zhá h ē i ng b ā zhá zhā n zhá mó h ē l ē k ē nà h ē i.
