The third volume of Fang Guang's Solemn Sutra says that Buddha's hair has 50,000 words. The twenty-ninth volume of "Miscellanies of Baniyah" says that the Buddha also has ten thousand words on his waist. According to the 381st volume of Mahayana Sutra, the Buddha used the word "swastika" on his hands, feet and chest.
This "swastika" is a symbol of auspiciousness, which is also called auspiciousness and happiness. This symbol existed in India before Buddhism. Vishnu and Krishna, the main gods of Hinduism, have a swastika on their chests, which is said to be chest hair. According to ancient Indian legends, all wheel kings who can rule the world have 32 kinds of adult faces. This symbol was used in Buddhist scriptures in the third century BC. Therefore, according to the "King Kong Prajna Sutra", the Buddha is the holy king of Buddhism and there are 32 kinds of adult images.
The word "Wan" can be divided into left-handed and right-handed characters. There are different opinions about which one is right. Left-handed refers to a swastika bending to the left, such as "swastika". The so-called right-handed person means that the word "ten thousand" bends to the right, such as. At present, some of the Buddha statues we see are left-handed and some are right-handed. Which one is right? To answer this question, we should put it in a larger context.
First of all, we should know that the word "Wan Zi" did not come into being after Buddhism. India existed long before Buddhism. In India, this symbol is called the swastika, which consists of two characters: Su (auspicious) and Azzati (you), and it is a symbol of auspiciousness.
In addition, it is also found outside India. These places include China, Russia, Tibet, Japan, Egypt, ancient Crete and Troy, Scandinavia, Scotland, Ireland, Indian indigenous countries in America, Maya, Arabia, Mesopotamia, Rome and early Christianity and Byzantium in South America. Because of its extensive discovery, it is regarded as a universal cultural phenomenon to study. Anthropologists call it "cross pattern" or "sun pattern", which is generally considered to be related to the sun.
The word "swastika" can be found in both left-handed and right-handed people. Taking China as an example, archaeologists found that before the introduction of Buddhism, swastikas had been found in Neolithic sites in Gansu, Qinghai, Guangdong and Inner Mongolia. The word "Zi" found on pottery and silk in various places can be divided into left-handed and right-handed.
Some scholars believe that left-handed people and right-handed people have different meanings. Right-handed "swastika" represents the direction of the sun in the northern hemisphere from east to south, and then in the west. The swastika on the left represents the night. In India, the right-handed word "the swastika used by the Nazi Party" represents the power of the Father. The left-handed word "swastika" stands for the power of the mother god. There is also a saying that the right-handed character "Wan Zi" represents the power of life. And the left hand word "the swastika used by the Nazi Party" represents the evil power.
The above is the speculation of some scholars. Because the word "Wan Zi" is quite common and doesn't seem to have spread from a certain place, scholars guess that it must be related to something as important and common as human beings. Some people speculate that this is an old castle that is easy to defend, and some people speculate that it represents the direction of the sun's movement.
In Sahaja Yoga, we know that "God" is the symbol of God. Nisha is an eternal child with an elephant head, four arms and four petals representing the root chakra. The representative element is soil, and the corresponding mineral is carbon. Carbon is the origin of all life and the most important element on the earth. Ganesha is the first power separated from the father and mother when they created the world, so it represents the power of life. Modern science has found that (α) and (ω) can be seen from the cloud charge of carbon atoms from one angle, the word "thulium" from another angle, and the word "thulium" from another angle.
After Buddhism was introduced to China, the word "Wan Zi" was also introduced to China. But how to translate this symbol is a headache. Both Kumarajiva and Xuanzang translated it as "virtue", while Bodhi Six Fingers translated it as "Wan" when translating the Ten Classics, meaning that all virtues were regarded as perfection. In the era of Wu Zetian, the sound and meaning of this symbol were simply separated. Her royal pronunciation is "Wan", which means "a collection of auspicious virtues". As for who is right-handed, Master Huilin in Tang Dynasty wrote all the classics, sounds and meanings, and decided that "Wan Zi" was correct, because most of the "Wan Zi" in China Buddhist scriptures were right-handed. However, even in modern times, whether the word is left-handed or right-handed is still very inconsistent. For example, Ci Hai writes "Yan" and Ci Yuan writes "". Another example is the modern computer word-making, which only has the word "ten thousand" without the word "ten thousand", which brings a lot of inconvenience to the writing of this article.
In modern times, because Hitler once used a right-leaning swastika as the symbol of the Nazi Party, many westerners who didn't understand the oriental tradition were surprised to find that Buddhism also adopted this symbol. Actually, that's different. The word "Wan" in Buddhism is positively balanced, and the word "Wan" is inclined at 45 degrees. The former represents the power of auspiciousness, life and creation, while the latter represents the power of destruction. As for why Hitler chose this symbol as the Nazi Party's party emblem, opinions vary.
It is said that he asked archaeologists to study what symbols could be used to represent Aryans, so he found "Wan Zi". But in fact, this symbol existed in India 1000 years before the Aryans invaded India. It is said that he saw this symbol in the church when he was a child and thought it had mysterious power. In fact, the word "SS" is the superposition of two S's of Hitler's SS. It is said that the designer of this emblem originally designed to turn left, but Hitler insisted on turning right. The reason may be that Hitler learned it from the Tibetan Lama, and the word Lamaism is right-handed.
It is not uncommon to use sacred symbols upside down. For example, the antichrist symbol is an upside-down cross. In Indian mythology, Vishnu was once incarnated as a lion's head, so Egypt has an inverted sphinx. In Tibetan esoteric religion, for every Buddhist god, only one corresponding esoteric god has been created. It means that God only treats enemies. He is strong enough and right.
