中國印度都有人相信金剛罩鐵布衫

十九世紀落後的中國和印度國民麵對歐洲強國的侵略，都有人相信自己和白人戰鬥的時候刀槍不入。

這是1833年發生在印度。引自
[1]。

anti-zamindar and anti-government revolt in the Sherpur district of northern
Bengal. The rebels were armed with spears, bows, poisoned arrows, a few
matchlocks and the belief that if their faith in their messianic leader was
strong they would be immune to musket balls. No doubt the many casualties were
warriors of shallow convictions.

最後一句似乎有兩種理解。有些人因為信仰不強傷亡了？還是他們的信仰，隻要對救世主般的領導人有信仰就刀槍不入，本身SHALLOW
？

這是1898年發生在中國。引自 [2]。

 

The Boxers United in
Righteousness, as they called themselves, began to emerge as a force in
northwest Shandong during 1898. … Some boxers believed they were invulnerable to
swords and bullets in combat, and they drew on an eclectic pantheon of spirits
and protectors from folk religions, popular novels, and street plays.
