What is the meaning of Wan in Buddhism?

Question 1: What does the Buddhist swastika mean? "D" (Sanskrit svastika) is a symbol of Buddhism, which can be left or right. The symbol of Nazi Germany Nazi party is right-handed 45 degrees, which is different from this.

Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty in China read "D" as "Wan", which means "a collection of auspicious virtues". Buddhism generally writes "D". In the traditional patterns of China, there are thousands of words using this symbol.

The word "D" is pronounced in Sanskrit as "when the room is full of benefits", which means "auspicious sea clouds", that is, auspicious symbols presented between the sea and the sky. It is painted on the chest of the Tathagata, which is considered as "auspicious" and can emit precious light. On the basis of the cross, the four arms of the E-shape are selected in the direction of 90 to the left and right.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to draw the word "e", one is straight and the other is inclined at 45. In the Indian prototype of the word "e", each of the four strokes also includes a dot.

In * * * * primitive religion Bonism, the word "g.yung drung" is a symbol of "eternity". Because the prayer wheels used in Tibetan Buddhism all turn from left to right, and they all say "D".

Question 2: What does the Buddhist swastika stand for? "D" (or "E") and "X" are two special patterns in Tibetan costumes. They are widely used in the neckline, hem, boot surface and various accessories of men's and women's clothing. Some women also like to embroider this pattern on the back of clothes and apron "Bangdian" and other conspicuous positions. Therefore, these two patterns can be seen in Tibetan costumes, which have almost become a unique symbolic pattern with rich and profound cultural connotations. The "D" (or "E") pattern is called "Yongzhong" in Tibetan language, which is an auspicious pattern with a long history for the Tibetan people. Its formation is closely related to the development of Tibetan society, primitive worship and religious belief. As early as in ancient Xiang Xiong (a tribe of ancient Xiang Xiong). It used to be a small country living in today's * * * Ali area, and then gradually formed the earliest nomadic tribal alliance with a vast territory and powerful power on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Including today's "inner elephant male" in Ali and other places, "Chinese elephant male" in Weizang, "outer elephant male" in Duokang, and "D" (or "E") patterns symbolize the eternal sun. In * * * Japanese earth rock paintings, it represents the sun and its light. At first, I just drew a circle and a few lights on the side. After that, it gradually decreased and evolved into the same pattern as "Wan Zi". After there were characters in the Xiang Xiong era, this pattern was called "Yong Zhong", and its meaning gradually evolved into a symbol of firmness, eternity, avoiding evil and auspiciousness. In Bonism, the primitive religion of * * *, the pattern of "D" (or "E") is regarded as the emblem of worship, so Bonism is also called "eternal wisdom". Patton Rao Xin, its founder, holds a sacred battle with a pattern of Yongzhong, and the words used are called "Yongzhong Shen Wen", which is located in the ninth grade Yongzhong sandy land. It is also one of the secret words of Yongzhong Stupid Religion, which stands for eternal life, eternity and eternity. The word "Yongzhong" is still circulating among Tibetan people today, as the name of a stupid temple or a stupid believer. After Buddhism was introduced into * * *, in order to spread and popularize its teachings as soon as possible, "do as the Romans do" accepted some things of Boni, including "Yong Zhong". It is considered to be the "auspicious phase" on the chest of Buddha Sakyamuni, and it is one of his 32 phases, called "auspicious cloud phase". Only from the direction, Buddhism and Bonism are different in "D" (or "E"). Buddhism rotates clockwise from left to right, which is called "right-handed sum", and fools rotate counterclockwise from right to left. In addition, the "D" (or "E") pattern is also an ancient mysterious figure in the world, and it is worshipped as a symbol of the sun or fire. Ancient India, Persia and Greece all used it as a charm, amulet and religious symbol. During the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty in China, the pronunciation of this pattern was defined as "Wan". Since then, this pattern has been widely loved as a symbol of auspiciousness, happiness, brightness and sacredness. Monarchs and officials are used to symbolize the prosperity of their own world from generation to generation, while Lebanese people are used to pray that their future generations will continue and live a long and healthy life. People apply it to clothing, architecture and other things, such as the "flowing water" pattern, the long-legged swastika, the group foot swastika and so on. There are also variants of "Maruko" and "Shouzi" combined into various patterns, such as "Ruyi Tuanwanshou", which are used as decorative shading for fabrics. Tibetan people regard the design of "D" (or "E") as a symbol of good luck, and think that wearing clothes and ornaments embroidered with "D" (or "E") can avoid natural and man-made disasters and bring people good luck and happiness. In addition, this pattern is also used in temples, houses, festivals, weddings and funerals. It is often used as furniture for temples and houses, and as decoration for doors and windows. On holidays, draw this pattern on the door with white ash to show good luck; When building a new house, it is also painted on the foundation to pray for durability; And painted on the door, meaning to resist evil and expel disease; The character "ten" is also an auspicious decorative pattern among Tibetan people. It was gradually formed with the spread and development of Buddhism in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In Buddhist teachings, it is used to express "ten directions", that is, 10 directions, such as east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest and up and down. It symbolizes the widespread spread and integrity of Buddhism. Tibetan people often use the cross shape in clothing, fabrics, architecture and painting. Folk fashion designers also organize the "ten" pattern according to the increasing law, divide it into units with colored stripes, line it with background color, and decorate it with various colors to form beautiful and harmonious clothing patterns. People think that wearing such clothes can be blessed by the Buddha and bring people good luck and peace. Two special patterns of Tibetan costumes are not only the reflection of history and religious beliefs, but also the artistic embodiment of traditional auspicious concepts. For a long time ... >>

Question 3: What is the meaning of ten thousand characters in Buddhism? The word e (ten thousand, ten thousand) in Buddhism is a free translation of srivatsalakslana, which means auspicious sea clouds and auspicious rotation. Kumarajiva, Xuanzang, etc. The word "virtue" has been translated, while Bodhi Six Fingers has translated the word "Wan", which means "all virtues are solemn and merits are complete". The sound of the word e seems inconclusive in Buddhist scriptures at first. It was not until Wu Zetian lived for two years (693) that the word "Wan" was pronounced. Tang Huiyuan's "Hua Yin Yan Yi" contains: "Hubei is not a Chinese character, and Zhou Changshou is two years old. The right to make this article 10,000, called the collection of Jide. " Since then, "e" has been officially used as a Chinese character and has become a symbol of all achievements and good luck.

In almost all Buddhist temples, every Buddha has an auspicious symbol "E" on his chest, which symbolizes the purity, solemnity, compassion, wisdom and perfection of the Buddha and Bodhisattva. The word E, which symbolizes auspiciousness and beauty, is also widely recorded in China's Buddhist classics. According to the Mahayana chapter, Sakyamuni's head, face, hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, mouth and so on. Is unique. The eightieth of them is that there is an auspicious right-handed E on the Buddha's chest. The new translation of Hua Yan Jing says: "The Tathagata has an adult image in his heart, which is shaped like the word E and is called auspicious sea rhyme." "Shurangama Sutra" says: "As soon as you come, precious light is poured out from the E word on your chest, and its light is dazzling with Baise." There is also a saying in Biography of Song Monks that "the Buddha's chest is swollen". Buddha not only has an E on his chest, but also has an E on his hair. According to the solemn sutra, there are thirty-two adults in the wheel, and eighty kinds follow the shape. Among them: "seventy-eight, with five e words." Seventy-nine, color spiral. "Sometimes there is an E between the Buddha's hands and feet." Hua Yan Jing says: "The Buddha's hand, foot and chest all have auspicious, joyful and moral aspects. Wen Hua, color Dan Zhu. The new translation "Hua Yan Jing" says: "May all beings have their wheels facing each other, their knuckles intact, and write with their right hands; May all sentient beings, such as the lotus e-finger, be rewarded with ten strengths and be solemn. "Another cloud said:" Tathagata, between the fingers of his left foot, has the posture of an adult, and is famous for all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas ... among them, the sound is perfect, the word E is infinite, and all beings have it. "

The word e has been left-handed and right-handed since ancient times. In Buddhism in China, both left-handed and right-handed people are adopted. Huilin's sound and meaning and the Koryo Tripitaka advocated the use of the right-handed E (the Japanese Taisho Tripitaka also adopted the right-handed theory), and the Song, Yuan and Ming Tripitaka all used the left-handed D. The reason why the word D has left-handed and right-handed is mainly due to the differences caused by different perspectives. If we put the word e in front of us and wait and see, our right hand will become the word d; From the standpoint of the word e itself, the word e is right-handed. At the same time, right rotation means infinite operation, infinite extension and infinite display of Buddha's power. It symbolizes the Buddha's eternal life like the sun, the moon and the water, and the breadth of the third generation of beings is endless.

Question 4: What does the word "Wan" mean in Buddhism? E is one of the 32 phases of Buddhism. Represents a stage of all beings. There is no amitabha in the south!

Question 5: What is the significance of the Buddhist swastika? The word E (ten thousand, ten thousand) is a free translation of srivatsalakslana, which means auspicious sea clouds and auspicious rotation. Kumarajiva, Xuanzang, etc. The word "virtue" has been translated, while Bodhi Six Fingers has translated the word "Wan", which means "all virtues are solemn and merits are complete". The sound of the word e seems inconclusive in Buddhist scriptures at first. It was not until Wu Zetian lived for two years (693) that the word "Wan" was pronounced. Tang Huiyuan's "Hua Yin Yan Yi" contains: "Hubei is not a Chinese character, and Zhou Changshou is two years old. The right to make this article 10,000, called the collection of Jide. " Since then, "e" has been officially used as a Chinese character and has become a symbol of all achievements and good luck.

Question 6: What is the meaning of the Buddhist swastika? In Sanskrit, this word is pronounced as "full room is beneficial to time", which means "auspicious sea clouds", that is, auspicious symbols presented between the sea and the sky. Painted on the Buddha's chest, it is regarded as "auspicious" by Buddhists and can emit precious light. "its light is swaying, and there are thousands of things." Buddhist translation of the word "D" in China is also inconsistent. A scripture in the Northern Wei Dynasty translated it into the word "Wan", while Xuanzang and others translated it into the word "De" in the Tang Dynasty, emphasizing that the merits of the Buddha were boundless, and the female emperor Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty named it "Wan", which meant to combine the good fortune and merits of the world. There are two ways to write the word "D", one is the right hand and the other is the left hand ("E"). Most Buddhists believe that the rotation of the right hand should prevail, because it is auspicious for Buddhism, and all kinds of Buddhist ceremonies held by Buddhists are carried out with the right hand.

Question 7: How to explain the ten thousand characters in Buddhism? One, the ten thousand characters in Buddhism are right-handed, generally written as "D", which translates as "auspicious sea clouds, auspicious joy". The word "D" is not a word, but a symbol, which refers to the right-handed phase of Buddha's hair and is one of the 32 phases and 80 good phases of Buddha. It is a virtue in the minds of the Buddha and the Ten Bodhisattvas, and now it has become a symbol representing Buddhism.

Second, the party flag designed by Hitler himself has white characters on a red background with a black "E" embedded in the middle. Hitler was very satisfied with their design and thought that "this is a real symbol". In his book Mein Kampf, he said: "Red symbolizes the social significance of our movement, and white symbolizes nationalist thought. The word' e' symbolizes the mission of winning the Aryans. " Hitler chose "e" as the symbol for several reasons.

1, the first sentence is designed according to the name of the Nazi party. Nazi Party means "National Socialist Party". The prefixes of "country" and "society" in German are both "S", and the two prefixes overlap to form the shape of "E". However, the Buddhist "D" is gold and the Nazi "E" is black.

2. The second statement was put forward by American scholar Robert Payne. Payne believes that Hitler had a strong desire to worship authority and pursue power since he was a child. When he was a child, there was an old monastery near his home. The corridors of the monastery, the stone wells, the seats of monks and the sleeves of the dean's coat are all decorated with the sign of "E". Hitler worships the power of the dean and regards "E" as the symbol of the authority of the dean. He hopes that one day he can have supreme authority like the dean. Payne believes that this is why he later chose the word "E" as the symbol of party flag.

3. The third theory is that Hitler was influenced by an anti-Semitic organization called the New Templar. This organization believes that Aryans are the best people, and only by maintaining their pure blood can the world have hope. This is consistent with Hitler's view. The founder of this organization is a missionary and astrologer. He divined for Hitler and predicted that he would become a person who would shock the world in the future. Hitler was very excited when he heard these words. The symbol of this organization is the word "E". So he chose this symbol when he later designed party flag.

3. Description: The "E" symbol in Nazi Germany has nothing to do with Buddhism. One is a symbol of the devil of war that brings infinite painful memories to all mankind, and the other is a Buddhist symbol that lasts for thousands of years and symbolizes great love and great sorrow. Whether it is connotation or extension, it is very different.

Question 8: What is the meaning of "Wan Zi" in Buddhism? It is said that it means good luck. But there is no such symbol in early Buddhist statues. Moreover, the thirty-two phases and eighty kinds of good spirits mentioned in Buddhist scriptures do not have this symbol.

Question 9: What does the Buddha spell mean? I seem to remember that the Buddha has six words of truth and the Tao has eight words of truth, but I have never heard of ten thousand words of truth.

Question 10: "The Buddha said that everything has a cause and effect, and the devil said that everything is in me. All beings have no phase, and it is all me who becomes a Buddha and a demon. What do you mean? ? Buddha said that everything has a cause and effect. If everything has a cause and effect, is everything we experience today destined? What I get today is the reward I paid in the past, and what I lose today is the punishment in the past ... I am still the same, but I have changed a lot. The appearance remains the same, but it is a bit more vicissitudes and helplessness. ...
