In the north, I heard that there are more heavenly kings named Vishnu who live in the north of Mount Sumi, and the crystal is the earth.
China people have localized the four heavenly kings. The mythical novel "Romance of the Gods" says that the four heavenly kings are "the four brothers of Meng Jiaguan's family", but they were actually created by China people. They are not recorded in Buddhist scriptures, but only the contents of the novel.
In addition to the release of the emperor, there is also a mountain on the mountainside of Xumi Mountain called Gandhara Mountain. There are four hills on the mountain, and each of the four heavenly kings lives in one mountain to protect the world (the fourth is four continents, namely Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanzhan Buzhou (the ground), Xiniuhezhou and Beiju Luzhou), so it is also called the four heavenly kings to protect the world, which is the first day of six desires. There are also six desires for the sun, which is called "six desires for the sky" and is inhabited by the gods. The first day of the Six Desires is the residence of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Heavenly Kings and their entourage.
Embrace the Eastern King: Embrace the country means compassion, bless all beings and protect the country, hence the name "Embrace the King". Living in the golden land of Xumi Mountain, dressed in white, wearing armor and holding a pipa, he is the main music god, saying that he will convert to all beings with music and be responsible for guarding Dongsheng Shenzhou.
"South Growth King: Growth" means that all beings can grow good roots and protect Buddhism, so it is named Growth King. "Living in Sumi Mountain glass, wearing blue, wearing armor, holding a sword, to protect Buddhism from infringement. He is responsible for guarding the South Station.
King of Wide Eyes in the West: "Wide Eyes" means being able to observe the world at any time and protect people with clear eyes, hence the name "King of Wide Eyes". Living in the silver land of Xumi Mountain, wearing armor and red clothes, he is the leader of a group of dragons. So he wrapped a red dragon (or made a red rope) in his hand. When he saw someone who didn't believe in Buddhism, he arrested him with a rope and made him convert to Buddhism. He is responsible for guarding Mr. Xi Niu Hezhou.
The long-heard king of the north: also known as Vishnu, he is "well-informed" and is famous in the name of Fude. Living in the crystal land of Xumi Mountain. Dressed in green, wearing armor, holding a treasure umbrella (also known as a treasure flag) in the right hand and a magic mouse-silver mouse in the left hand. Used to subdue demons and protect people's wealth. Also known as Shi Caitian. He is responsible for guarding Luzhou in Beiju.
The meaning of the four heavenly kings In the Buddhist Tianwang Temple, there are four heavenly kings: East, South, West and North.
The east is the king of the country, representing responsibility, persistence is maintenance, and the country is the country. Preside over a family's affairs, which we call housekeeping; The person in charge of company affairs is the general manager and chairman. The emperor and the president are in charge of state affairs. Then how can we do it well? You must do your duty. Everyone has his own responsibilities in society. If he can do his duty wholeheartedly, the society will be harmonious and the country will be rich and strong. The king of a country taught us this truth. The king of growth in the south. It is not enough to do things well within the scope of duties, but also to make progress every day. If you don't advance, you will retreat Times are always advancing, so King of Growth tells us to improve our morality, knowledge, wisdom, skills and abilities, including our living standards. Buddhism is no exception. Buddhism is really progressive and always stands at the forefront of the times. He is not following the times, but leading the times. How to maintain the country, how to grow and how to complete it successfully? The last two heavenly kings taught us how to practice. The king of the west told us to see more; The north has learned more about the heavenly king, so let's listen more.
This is what China people say: "Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road". Reading is the basic knowledge of achievement; Take Wan Li Road, which is called sightseeing today, and you can see it everywhere. Seeing the advantages of others, we adopt them; When we see shortcomings, we are alert. We can transform the society and build the country by [giving others short points and taking others long points]. In that case, this country will become the most perfect country in the world. This is called a real protector!
