In Buddhist scriptures, what is a' mantra' and what is a' sutra'?

Mantras in Buddhism were translated by the Sanskrit Dalagni with the method of "Geyi", and most Buddhist scriptures were transliterated by "Dalagni". This Sanskrit word literally means "hold forever".

Does the curse in Buddhist scriptures have practical significance or content? Yes

First of all, these incantations are secret words issued by sages such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, Lohan, Yogi, Ming Chengxian, and great achievers in deep Zen realm. It can be said that every spell is a "spiritual symphony". The spell reflects the spiritual state of these saints in the field of meditation and their willingness to return to all beings.

For example, when we appreciate a symphony, we feel that the composer's thoughts have entered his spiritual world. At the same time, the body and mind must also have a subtle physical and chemical reaction, and get an emotional induction, even a physical induction. In the same way, when you recite the mantra, you get the samadhi blessing of Buddha and ancestors through the inspiration of phonology.

Moreover, after the rise of tantric Buddhism, on the basis of maintaining the inheritance of the core part, the arrangement of spells is more standardized, with strict formats and genres. The arrangement is based on the two mandalas of Tantric Buddhism, Vajrayana and Five Tathagata (Buddha Top, Vajrayana, Lotus, Mani and karma), just like the paradigm of symphony creation. Every complete spell has a mantra heart, which is the condensation of all spells (usually the mantra heart is also the core part of the original version of the spell), just like the colored paragraphs of a symphony.

Phonetically speaking, mantras mainly use Sanskrit characters, but some characters are pure phonetic symbols (with no specific literal meaning). Literally in Sanskrit, the content of each mantra is like an obscure prayer, which is full of various Buddhist terms, the names of Buddha and Bodhisattva, the names of patron saints and so on. However, in this literal sense, it must have a richer and deeper meaning in order for believers to understand it. This is because in Buddhism, the names of buddhas and bodhisattvas are often symbolic (Buddhist terminology calls them "representations"), and profound jurisprudence is expressed through the packaging of "personification".

Therefore, the meaning of the spell is divided into two levels: shallow-keeping rhyme and literal meaning can make disciples feel at ease and be blessed; Living in Samadhi and observing the truth at the same time can make disciples "not look" and prove the fruit. Of course, according to tantric theory, spells must be combined with complex spiritual practices, such as guru initiation, mandala meditation and so on. So as to achieve the effect of "stopping watching" through practicing the certificate. However, it is believed that ordinary Zoroastrian believers can get blessings by chanting incantations, thus eliminating sins, accumulating blessings and enlightening wisdom.

The classic road is the road that the Buddha points to all beings. This road leads to three realms and six roads.
