The mouth of the flame of yoga

Yankou is a Buddhist ceremony held in Yankou according to the Book of Saving the Hungry Ghost Big Ronnie. According to the scripture, the Buddha in the city of Kapylo possessed Sangala, which was explained by the monks and bodhisattvas. When Ananda lived alone in a quiet place, he got used to it. At midnight, there was a hungry ghost named Yankou. Before, Ananda said, "Only in three days, your life will be exhausted and you will have a hungry ghost." Ananda was so scared that he went to the Buddhist temple. Chen said this, which inspired him. When the Buddha said that boundless weeds have no light, which is better than Dalagni's wonderful power, he said that chanting can avoid the suffering of hungry ghosts and prolong life. When practicing this method, when doing something, take a purifier, fill it with clean water and eat less. There are all kinds of cakes and food and so on. Press the device with your right hand and recite Dalagni seven times. Then, you can call it multi-treasure, wonderful body, wide body and four Tathagata, take it out of the food container and offer it on the clean ground. If you practice Brahma, you can recite this Dalagni for 27 times and then throw it into clear water. After reciting it three times and offering three treasures, it becomes a kind of dedication.

The spread of this method was originally translated by Siksananda into a volume "The Curse of God Saving Hungry Dalagni" and a volume "The Curse of Mana Dalagni". Face to face is a different translation of the flame mouth. The name of the mantra mentioned in Dalagni's spell to save the hungry ghost was changed to mantra. The mantra in "Manna Dalagni Mantra" is called Manna Mantra. Just take a spoonful of water, curse it ten times, and sprinkle it in the air, and it becomes nectar. Later, Sanzang translated the Maharani Sutra to rescue the hungry ghosts in the crater, which is the same as Siksananda's translation. It's not empty. I also translated the Yoga Sutra's Ritual Sutra for Saving Ananda's Flame Mouth, the Yoga Sutra's reason for teaching Ananda from the flame stuttering (that is, the origin of the first half of the Ritual Sutra is divided into two lines) and the Law of Giving Hungry Ghosts Food and Water. There is also a Darani Classic, which was translated by Tang Postscript in Japanese.

In the translation of Yoga Collection to Save the Rites of Anan Toronyi, the sequence of lines is as follows:

One, break the curse of hell, two, call the curse of hungry ghost, three, call the curse of sin, four, kill the curse of sin, five, establish a career, six, repent the curse, seven, cultivate the nectar curse, eight, open the throat curse, nine, seven Tathagata, ten, send the bodhi heart curse, eleven, samadhi quit the curse, twelve.

Since then, giving food to hungry ghosts has become a daily ritual for secret practitioners. When Japan entered the Tang Dynasty, Legalists brought back the ceremony of starving ghosts. Konghai explained the meaning of the five Tathagata by giving a hungry ghost in the Secret Book. Enron's Eight Secrets has "The Method of Giving Hungry Ghosts" and lists eight classics for the future. In China, due to the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the method of giving alms was also lost with the loss of Tantric Buddhism.

Teachers in the Song Dynasty didn't know enough about the methods of feeding. There are several chapters in the Collection of Respecting Teachers and Jin Yuan, such as Zheng Shiming, Shifa, Shi Wen and Guan Stone Statue. Its method is not abstruse ritual, but truth from scripture, accompanied by meditation of Taiwan Province people. "Proper Names for Giving Food" said: "There are many other monasteries in wuyue today. What's the problem? Land and water people (middle), eaters with questions (middle), people with questions. " Feeding refers to feeding at the flame mouth. Hidden Taoism is the naked fasting of hidden Taoism in Tang Dynasty, and it is also a method of esoteric transmission. Land and water is a ritual that arose in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the three were confused. Zong Xiao has a volume of General Theory of Giving, which contains the second translation of Saving Hungry Ghosts, the second record of Nirvana Sutra, the legend of ghosts in the wilderness, the legend of the devil's mother, the biography of a monk begging, the chapter of giving and the second episode of water and land fasting. One of them is Ren Yue's "How to Eat", which also thinks that giving a ghost in the wilderness and giving a ghost mother to save a hungry ghost in the mouth of a flame are all giving food. The same thing was said in volume four and chapter four of "Shi Men Orthodoxy". It can be seen that in the Song Dynasty, various factions tried to restore the practice of eating at Yankou, but failed.

In the Yuan Dynasty, with the Tibetan Lama entering the Han Dynasty, esotericism revived. There is a volume "Yoga Collection: Flame Mouth Food" in the Tibetan Scripture, which has not been translated. Textual research on the translated words of Zhen Yan should be translated by Yuan people. Secondly, the first one is the same as the Ritual Sutra, which was translated to save Anan Toronyi's flame mouth. Before it, there were three times: Ming Da Lun mantra, Bodhisattva mantra, 35 buddhas, Pu Xian prayer, spiritual cultivation, Sanbao food, Guanyin entrance, and then hell was broken. Then, it will increase the respect for truth, six interests, vows, auspicious feelings, Vajrayana 100-word sutra, ten kinds of lonely soul essays and three-way refuge praise. Since then, yoga has been revived.

In the Ming dynasty, due to the different inheritance of various factions, each faction gained something, which led to chaos. Today, the method of the Ming Dynasty is "yoga flame eater". Later, the Zen master deleted its complexity and became a "yoga exercise set". The world is called "the mouth of the flame" for short. Tiantai spiritual practice is a note made for it, called "Collection of Yoga Practice: Giving Food to the Altar, Corresponding to the Door" in two volumes. Among them, only the lonely soul characters are different. Yoohiro Lianchi also slightly participated in the revision of Tian Ji Tan Yi, named "Setting up a Yoga Set to Offer Food to Tan Yi" and "Offering Food to Yoga Set", and made comments for them, named "Food Supplement". In the thirty-second year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1693), the Shi Yinhong edition of Baohuashan was slightly edited, which was called "A Collection of Ways to Eat Yoga in the Flame Mouth" and internationally known as "Huashan Flame Mouth". After six years of Qianlong (174 1), Baohua Mountain was released and blessed, which gave birth to a yoga food appraiser. In addition, in the 14th year of Kangxi (1675), Siam, a historian, wrote Notes on Yoga Flame Mouth. In the postscript of "Yoga Collection: Food Rites" published in the 22nd year of Kangxi, it is said: "No one can learn from it, which makes the classics handed down very different. Different from each other, I don't know what to do. " Cigarette holders popular in Buddhist temples in the Qing Dynasty were mostly secret and Huashan Mountain.
