The entrance to “Yuanjue Mi Tuo Village” is located on the right side of the Zhongtan gas station next to the Provincial Highway 14 leading to Puli (the CNPC gas station close to Niuer Art Resort),
After climbing up the mountain along the quiet path, the scenery in front of you is extraordinary.
Mituo Village has an elegant environment, a pleasant climate all year round, and overlooks the changing scenery of Puli’s beautiful mountains.
Prayer wheels are a major feature of Tibet,
At the entrance of Amitabha Village, there are thirteen prayer wheels printed with the six-character Great Ming Mantra.
“The six-character Great Ming Dharani, if anyone spins around, will be blessed by all the masters and realize the secret meanings of all the deities, all the Buddhas, and all the ways to protect the Dharma and remove obstacles.” “Supreme Wish-fulfilling Treasure Tantra”< /p>
In Tibet, wherever Mahayana Buddhism is spread, the practice of turning the prayer wheel is usually spread. This method was passed down by Nagarjuna to Lion-faced Dakini, who then passed it on to Padmasambhava, who then introduced it to Tibet.
『Offer and encircle the treasure box to seal the Dharani Sutra Pagoda』
“The Secret Heart of All Tathagatas and the Whole Body Relic Treasure Box Seal Dharani” is an ancient Buddhist mantra. It is extraordinary and has a deep connection with all Buddhas. It also has a vast dharma connection with all sentient beings in this Saha world and our galaxy!
“The Dharani Sutra of All Tathagata’s Secret Hearts, Full Body Relics and Seal in Treasure Box” is the secret treasure of the three generations of Buddhas. It is the complete display of the Buddha’s dharma body relics in the universe of the Dharma Realm. Sakyamuni) Chrysostom taught the mortal realm, and entrusted the Vajrapani Bodhisattva, the keeper of the Vajrayana, to safeguard the inheritance of this dharma, which continues to this day. This is due to the continuous blessings of the compassion of the Buddhas.
If a person seeks blessings, he goes to the pagoda, takes a flower and an incense, worships and makes an offering, and walks the right path. From this, merit, official position and glory will come to him without asking for it; life will be rich and prosperous, but it will increase without asking for it; if he blames the family and thieves, he will not Begging for self-defeat; resenting and cursing, never getting tired of returning to the source; never getting rid of epidemics and evil spirits; being a good husband and a good wife, never asking for contentment; being a good man and beautiful woman, never praying for self-sufficiency; whatever you wish for, be fulfilled at will.
~ The secret of the heart of all Tathagatas, the whole body relics, the treasure box and the seal of the Dharani Sutra
When you see a pagoda, you must worship it or go around it
While worshiping the pagoda, you should make a vow. We wish that all sentient beings and gods cannot see the top of the tower, that is, “no sight of the top.” This is one of the eighty kinds of good appearance.
Walking around the pagoda to the right to wish all living beings
What you do is irreversible and you achieve all wisdom
When circling the pagoda to the right, you should make a vow: I wish that all sentient beings should act in accordance with the Buddha’s teachings and not against the Buddha’s teachings. If you practice in the right direction, you will gain wisdom; if you don’t practice in the opposite direction, you will certainly be foolish. If everything is without reversal, all wisdom can be achieved.
Circumventing to the right is in the right direction, and to the left is in the opposite direction, so circumambulation of the Buddha and the pagoda is done to the right. It is said in the Sutra of Merit and Virtue: “To destroy all troubles, possess great power, and have no leakage of the six magical powers, then circumambulate the stupa from the right. .” Circumambulating the pagoda can have such incredible merits.
Walking around the pagoda three times to all sentient beings
Pursuing Buddhism diligently with a restless mind
When you circle the pagoda three times to the right, you should make a vow: I wish all sentient beings to be brave and diligent in practicing Buddhism, and not to be lazy or have a mind to retreat. Just moving forward, not taking the middle road and giving up halfway, will not achieve anything.
Why do you go around the tower three times? It means respecting the three treasures, diligently practicing the three studies, and eliminating the three poisons. It can also be said that it represents the three realms and is far away from the three evil ways. Because with bodhicitta, one will not fall into the three evil ways. It is said in the “Five Precepts Sutra”: “Circle three times to show respect for the three treasures and to destroy the three poisons.”
Respectfully excerpted from “A Brief Explanation of the Huayan Sutra of Dafang Guangfo” “The Eleventh Purity of Purity”
If you have the chance to come to Yuanjue Amitabha Village, you must remember to go around the pagoda where the secret body of all Tathagata’s heart, the secret relic, and the Dharani Sutra are sealed.
