Астрология в Махаянских сутрах китайского канона.

Suraj: Астрология в Махаянских сутрах китайского канона. Сегодня после многолетнего перерыва зашёл на Буддийский форум. Всё как обычно. привлекла стaтья об астрологии о буддистах. И с удивлением обнаружил, что интегрирована ли астрология в БУддизм или нет всё ещё обсуждается. Танрты не указ, дескать, а в сутрах ничего нет, только запрет Шакьями ЗАРАБАТЫВАТь на жизнь астрологией. Естественно, что монах не должен "зарабатывать"... ну да ладно. Там , как требование "аутентичности" астрологии требовлись показать СУТРЫ (!) упоминающие астрологию и практики с ней связанные. И, вот, я не поленился... дабы закрыть вопрос навсегда, по крайней мере на нашем форуме. Внизу нарезка (на английском) из книги на 1200 страниц оБ Эзотерическом Буддизме Махаяны в Китае. Я выделил название махаянских СУТР и их краткое описание или же перевод названия с китайского); Esoteric Buddhism and the Tantras in East Asia (Handbook of Oriental Studies) Author: Orzech, Charles D.

Suraj: Yixing’s contribution is foremostly revealed in his Suyao yigui (Ritual Proceedings [for Worshipping] the Asterisms)20 and the Qiyao xingchen biexing fa (Alternative Method of Practice [in regard to the] Seven Luminaries and Asterisms).21 The Fantian huoluo jiuyao (Indian Astrology of the Nine Luminaries)22 has exercised considerable influence on Esoteric Buddhist astrology in Japan. The Suyao yigui is a text for appropriating the constellations and the Qiyao xingchen biexing fa is a text for divining influences from the asterisms, including the use of mantras. After Yixing, but clearly in the same tradition, we have the Wenshushili pusa ji zhu xian suo shuo ji xing shiri shan e suyao jing (Scripture on Manjuśrī Bodhisattva and all the Ṛsị̄ Discourses on the Auspicious and Inauspicious Days [Caused by Influence from] the Constellations and Luminaries),23 There is also the Qiyao rangzai jue (Cutting Off and Removing Evil [Caused by] the Seven Planets),25 a text for divining when the cosmic influences from the Luminaries are dangerous. It contains a complete calendrical system with which to identify inauspicious days. The earliest Buddhist source is the Beidou qixing yanming jing (Scripture on the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper Extending Life).28

Suraj: The Cult of Sudṛṣti An early tradition in Chinese Buddhism—undoubtedly of Indian origin— has the bodhisattva Sudṛsṭ i (Ch. Miaojian , Jpn. Myōken) as the personification of Ursa Major, the Great Dipper. The earliest source on Sudṛsṭ in China is the Qifo bapusa suoshuo da tuoluoni shenzhou jing (Dhāraṇī Spirit-Spell Sūtra preached by the Seven Buddhas and Eight Bodhisattvas), Miaojian pusa shenzhou jing (Scripture on the Divine Spell of Sudṛsṭ i Bodhisattva),35 the Miaojian pusa tuoluoni jing (Scripture on the Divine Spell of Sudṛsṭ i Bodhisattva),36 Beichen pusa shenzhou biexingfa (Seperate Method of Practicing the Divine Spell of the Bodhisattva of the Northern Pole Star), Beichen, beidou chao (Document on Northern Polestar and the Northern Dipper).37 A number of astral maṇḍalas with Sudṛsṭ i as the primary divinity has been preserved in Japan.38

Suraj: Manjuśrī and the Worship of the Constellations One work especially places Manjuśrī centrally among the astral divinities: the Wenshushili pusa ji zhu xian suo shuo ji xing shiri shan e suyao jing (Scripture on Manjuśrī Bodhisattva and all the Ṛsị̄ Discourses on the Auspicious and Inauspicious Days [Caused by Influence from] the Constellations and Luminaries),40 the translation of which has been attributed to Amoghavajra. A central part of the text consists of the Qiyao zhan (Seven Planets Divination).41

Suraj: The Cult of Tejaprabha Tejaprabha, the Lord of the Constellations, is undoubtedly the single most important Esoteric Buddhist divinity in the context of planetary worship designed to avert cosmic calamities. He occurs in a number of scriptures, such as the the Beidou qixing humo fa (Method of Performing the Homa [Ritual] for the Seven Stars of the Great Dipper),43 Embedded in this ritual work is another text, the Chishengguang yaofa (Essential Method of Tejaprabha),45 and the Da weide Chishengguang rulai jixiang tuoluoni jing (Great Majestic and Virtuous Tejaprabha Tathāgata Good Fortune Dhāraṇī Sūtra)46 translated by Amoghavajra. The sources present Tejaprabha as a cosmic manifestation of Śākyamuni and, in terms of iconography, the most important source on the iconography of Tejaprabha is the Da sheng Miaojixiang pusa shuo chuzai jiaoling falun (Great Holy Wonderful Luck Bodhisattva Discourses on the Removal of Calamities Causing the Dharma Wheel [to Turn]).47 Despite its title, in this text Tejaprabha is actually described as a buddha, not a bodhisattva.

top9: Толкова информация, а как они в КК именуют нашу граху землю?

Suraj: Bhumi-devi; Prithvi devi

top9: А земная мантра там упоминается или призыв какой?

Suraj: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bh%C5%ABmi Bhūmi (Sanskrit: भूमि), also Bhūmī-Devī (Sanskrit: भूमी देवी), Bhuma-Devi or Bhū-Devī or Vasudha or Vasundhara or Vaishnavi or Kashyapi or Urvi or Vasumati or Hiranmaya, is the personification of Mother Earth. Пользуйтесь манторй или дхарани Васудари дэви - и будет хорошо. Я встречал истории про Притхви деви в нескольких махаянских сутрах. Суварнапрабхаса сутра и других. Hо уже непомню, где я видел различные дхарани богини земли... может в каких-то отрывках переводов "Mанжушри-мула-калпа" или дгугих сточниках, но несомненно это тексты относимые к разделу калпа (ритуалов) и крия-тантрам (согласно сакьяпинской классификации).

top9: Смотрел в палийской типитаке и махабхарате, там везде встречаются Притхиви и Бхуми, но в разных контекстах. Здесь еще такой момент, когда Будда призывал матушку Землю в свидетели, он называл ее точное имя...

Suraj: top9 пишет: Смотрел в палийской типитаке и махабхарате, http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Bhudevi в данной статье хороший обзор пуранинечской и эпической литературы в онтексте историй про богию-замлю ( на Английском) Bhuma Devi (Bhumi Devi or Bhu Devi) (Sanskrit: "The goddess who is the earth") is a Hindu earth goddess and the divine wife of Varaha, an Avatar of Vishnu. She is also considered one of the two divine wives of Vishnu himself along with Lakshmi; accordingly, Bhudevi and related goddesses representing or personifying the earth often accompany incarnations of Vishnu.[1] She is also known by the names Bhumi, Bhudevi, or Bhuma Devi, as well as the epithets Dhra, Dharti, Dhrithri, all of which refer to her sustaining beneficence as "that which holds everything." ... Bhudevi's Vedic precursor seems to have been Prithvi Mata (Sanskrit: "Earth mother"), the primordial goddess of the Rigveda. One of the oldest Aryan dieties, Prithvi shares many common traits with other Indo-European earth goddesses such as the Greek Gaia, ....

Suraj: Нашёл, из китайского канона (перевод на Английский): Prthivi Sadhana No. 1286 At that time Prthivi (堅牢地天) and Mahashri (大功德天/Laksim) both rise together from their seats and said to the Buddha: “Blessed One, if there are bhiksu, bhiksuni, upasaka, upasika, kumara, kumara etc. who always meditate on their 5 senses faithfully, I (Prthivi) and Mahashri shall prostrate to them respectfully and make offerings to those who recites our mantra. We (Prthivi and Mahashari) shall persistently provide earth resources to nourish these folks. So that they shall be benefited from prolonged life, the earth energy shall be in abundance at the area and that the sadhaka shall be youthful and powerful. All shall be remembered and be happy and that they shall be diligent (精進). All shall obtain great wisdom and they shall be good in debates. They shall obtain tri-vidya (三明/3 insights) and sad abhijñāh (六通/ 6 types of supernatural powers). They shall beloved by sentient beings and deva and that they shall obtain immeasurable punya (福德/blessed virtues) as if the virtues of Master Arya Chakraraja (輪王聖主). They shall be able to stay in every place and the place where the sadhaka stays. For example the heavenly garden of trāyastrimśas (忉利天/33 devas) in this life, in the next and thousands of life until unlimited. They shall obtain vast and great virtues. They shall be taken care of by millions of retinues every day. They shall not become those sentient beings living in hardships. They shall be furnished with various life necessities and that their stores shall always be filled with immeasurable amount of 7 treasures. The precious elephants, precious horse, precious chakra, wish fulfilling precious ladies; all shall come automatically limited to individual life span. As such, a sadhaka should make offerings of gold, silver, jewels or various life supporting substances to bhiksu. As such the sadhaka starting from beginning of the night till after midnight, a sadhaka either be seated or walks or stands in concentration. He/she should build a temple, a hut or a forest or that he/she always makes offerings of clothing, food, seats, beds, medicines for the sick and various life sustaining substances to the poor. By doing so, the sadhaka shall have a peaceful mind and that he/she shall be free from worries. He/she shall always be happy, obtain merits and accomplishments in dharma practices. Due to such generous donations, he/she shall receive great karma fruits in his/her coming life. He/she shall have deep faith in dharma and that this person shall not be born into bad paths and he/she shall not create bad karmas. We are hence protecting these people who practice compassion heart. As such give rise to various supreme kusala-mula (善根/good causes).” The Buddha said: “Sadhu, sadhu (good)! This is due to your diligent heart that sees speedily growth of virtuous power in the field of Mahayana.” At this time Prthivi (堅牢地天) and Mahashri (大功德天/Laksim) spoke to the Buddha: “We wish to benefit all sentient beings and for their happiness, we speak the heart mantra.” The Buddha told Prthivi: “You are very good for the benefit of all sentient beings that you speak this magical mantra. You can speak as your will.” Prthivi and Mahashri spoke the mantra: “ Namo samantah buddhanam om prava ratami shri samantah arta arta adhu adhu prthivi prthivi svaha If there is anyone who has recited this mantra for 100,000 times as preliminary practice and that he/she makes offerings to Prhivi, he/she shall have immeasurable richness and famous. He/she shall have unlimited amount of 7 types of treasures. And that he/she shall accomplish every siddhi. Secondly, we speak the fundamental body mudra: With both hands holding in prayer’s position, both of index and small fingers crossing each other in between both palms. Both middle and ring fingers erecting and touching each other; both thumbs are holding onto the sides of the index fingers. Moving both thumbs to and fro hence accomplishing various works. Thirdly, we speak of various a homa methods of accomplishment: If one performs homa with rice flower, then his/her crops shall grow in abundance. If one uses shati (闍底) flower to perform homa, then he/she shall have 1,000 catty (斤, about 1.33lb) of silks. If one uses Japonica rice (粳米) to perform homa, he/she shall obtain immeasurable virtues, life stocks and blessed merits. If one performs homa at a deva’s place or places where public congregates; he/she shall obtain great richness. (Page 1 of 2) If one uses barley and wheat to perform homa, he/she shall be rich and famous. If one uses Hyptis Rhomboidea (兢婁草) to perform homa, then he/she shall get uncountable numbers of life stocks and money. If one uses sati flower to perform homa in front of an old grave where yaksa lives, he/she shall be filthy rich. If one uses flower buds to perform homa, then he/she shall beloved by all human beings. If one wishes to conjure a Japanese god of fortune (福神), then he/she should go to where the deva stays and then uses green horse tail 21 pieces, each measuring 1 inch to perform homa. Then the deva shall come and possess the sadhaka. If one gets some green horse dung and empowers it in front of the Prthivi for 21 times, then he/she gets a giant stove many sizes of a human into the mandala. If he/she anoints some of the empowered horse dung onto the top of the stove head, he/she shall be rich and everything shall be according to his/her wish. If one gets 21 pieces of hairs from a green horse to be offered to Japanese god of fortune. The god shall be happy and bestows the sadhaka with good fortune. If one gets some soils from stove head from a fortunate household on the 8th day of lunar 12thmonth (臘月) and goes to sadhaka for treatment; then this person shall be rich. Before collecting dirt, one should recite mantra for 21 times. This should be done by a devadatta upasa (須達多優婆塞/servant), altar servant (壇畢理優婆塞), virtuous treasure and light servants. When the earth energy is too strong causing troubles to catasrah parsadah (四眾), then recites the above mantra to empower and the agony shall be removed. If one gets some soils from an elder’s pestle to perform homa, he/she shall get richness. If one gets some soils from the grave of an elderly to perform homa, he/she also gets richness. Possible method of drawing Prthivi image: a deva Prthivi with flesh color, his left hand is holding a bowl filled with flower; his right palm facing outwards. A devi Prthivi also having color of flesh with her right hand embracing her heart, her left hand also touching her back.” (Page 2 of 2) The END of Prthivi Sadhana One Scroll

top9: Suraj, благодарю. Хотел еще спросить, умеете ли вы перекладывать санскритские тексты с шрифта дэванагари в шрифт сиддхам?

Suraj: нет, я не знаю санскрит. Просто, по мере изучения дxармы, словарный запас постепенно пополнялся, но читаю я только в романизированой транслитерации санскрита...

top9: Возвращаясь к теме. Какие у них там в сутрах КК соответствия планет и сторон света, как в индийской астрологи или же даосские?

viktopiya: Очень интересный разговор тут у вас
