前文講述了墨西哥(Mexico)的詞根墨西(Mexi)是由20個法案構成的這次天道輪回的主題線索。那麽墨西哥是什麽意思?編者我認為墨西哥一詞相當於佛教詞語大千世界,妙智世界,或大圓鏡智,也就是現代人所說的唯心世界。
The previous article explained that the root of the word "Mexico", "Mexi", is a thread of 20 law cases, representing the godly cycle’s theme line. So, what does "Mexico" mean? Editor I believe the word "Mexico" is equivalent to the Buddhist terms "great grand worlds", "wonderful intelligence world", or "great round mirror intelligence", which modern people refer to as theist world.
世間人修習墨西哥沙門教,多數人的仰慕雖在上帝,特拉洛克,和翠玉女,但實質的目的卻是為了獲得禁果(如圖15.4.4.4-8)。圖8B顯示了四沙門果中的前三果(參見15.2.6)。此沙門果與 “取,集,得” 的性質相違,你若取它會損失功德(如圖8A)而且得到的果實也會有毒(如圖8C)。
While most mundane people who practice Mexican Shamanism worship God, Tlaloc, and Chalchiuhtlicue, their true purpose is to obtain the forbidden fruits (see Figure 15.4.4.4-8). Figure 8B shows the first three of four shamanic fruits (see 15.2.6). These fruitions contradict the nature of "fetch, aggregate, and gain”. Acquiring them results in loss of fortune and virtue (see Figure 8A), and the fruits obtained is also poisonous (see Figure 8C).
從記憶和習氣都是有重量的角度來說,感知就是身土。所以古人就說這三個沙門果是中土(如圖7至13,納瓦特爾語:特諾奇蒂特蘭,Tenochtitlan)。圖39是正在設計大千世界的特拉洛克。為了方便人們找到覺悟和解脫的方法,他就設計了中土之門(如圖17至15)。
From the perspective that memory and habits carry weight, perception is the bodily soil. Therefore, the ancients said that the three shamanic fruits are the middle earth (as shown in Figures 7 to 13, in Nahuatl: Tenochtitlan). Figure 39 shows Tlaloc designing Great Grand World. To help people find a way to enlightenment and liberation, he designed Door to Middle Earth (as shown in Figures 17 to 15).
2 山根 Mountain Root
圖17表示山根或祖竅。山根是人臉上人中(如圖42)的位置,意思是圖16的兩座天門山由於人中的運動而得以生長,為什麽?
Figure 17 shows the mountain root or ancestral cave. The mountain root is the position of Human-Middle (as shown in Figure 42) on human face, which means that the two Sky-Door Mountains in Figure 16 were able to grow due to the movement of Human-Middle. Why?
先說圖16的兩座火山表示什麽?故事說,生命之樹本來隻有三節:色蘊,行蘊,和識蘊。後來人們發現受和想這兩個自然法對人的影響很大,就把受和想從行蘊中抽了出來,另立了受蘊和想蘊。所以傳說說,生命之樹生長得很慢,幾千年才長多兩個節(如圖35下)。受是所取,想是能取。這兩個取習氣驅趕眾生日夜操勞,不得休息,所以人們說受蘊和想蘊是阻擋世間人升天的兩座大山,即天門山。
First, what do the two volcanoes in Figure 16 represent? The story goes that the Tree of Life originally had only three nodes: Color Node, Migration Node, and Sense Node. Later, people discovered that Acceptance and Think have great influence on humans, so they separated Acceptance and Think from Migration Node and established the Acceptance Node and Think Node. Therefore, legend says it that the Tree of Life grew very slowly, taking thousands of years to grow two more nodes (as shown in Figure 35 below). Acceptance is what is being fetched, and Think is what can fetch. These two Fetch Habits drive people to work day and night without rest, so people say that Acceptance Node and Think Node are the two great mountains that block mortals from ascending to sky, namely Two Sky Door Mountains.
那為什麽說人中(如圖42)是這兩座天門山的根呢?受蘊和想蘊是通過人的身口意行為而生長的,而人中最能代表身口意的行為,所以古人說人中是受蘊和想蘊的根。
Why is the Human-Middle (see Figure 42) considered the root of these two Sky Door Mountains? Acceptance Node and Think Node grow through one's behaviors, both bodily, oral, and intentional. The Human-Middle best represents the behaviors of the body, mouth, and intent, so the ancients said Human-Middle (see Figure 42) is the root of these two nodes.
3 為什麽山根又被稱作祖竅?Why is the Mountain Root also called the Ancestral Cave?
祖宗們都住在廟裏,這廟就是說英語的人稱呼他們前額兩邊為廟的廟。祖宗們的進出祖廟是依靠人的身口意行為,也是如此而代代相傳的,所以古人稱人的身口意行為是祖宗們在呼吸(如圖36,41,42)。
Ancestors all lived in temples, which is what English speakers refer to as the temples on either side of their foreheads. The ancestors' entry into and exit from the ancestral temple relied on human physical, verbal, and mental actions, and this is passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, the ancients referred to human physical, verbal, and intentional actions as the ancestors' breathing (as shown in Figures 36, 41, and 42).
4 如何移除天門山?How to remove Sky Door Mountains?
圖36中,古人嚴守根門,不讓地獄趣,畜生趣,和餓鬼趣進入祖廟。人感覺身心沉重主要是由這三種惡業引起的。業就是身口意習氣的總稱。人不沾染惡業,天門山中的惡業就不增長了。時間久了,惡業就萎縮沒了,人就已經到達中土了。
In Figure 36, the ancients strictly guarded the root door, preventing the hell interests, the livestock interests, and the hungry ghost interests from entering the ancestral temple. The main cause of a person feeling physically and mentally heavy is these three types of evil karma. Karma refers to the totality of bodily, verbal, and mental habits. If a person does not engage in evil karma, the evil karma in Sky Door Mountains will not increase. Over time, the bad karma will shrink and disappear, and people will have been on Middle-Earth.
圖40是寇特鶹鵂年青時的畫像。她把祖竅鎖起來了,表示她堅決遵守十戒。十戒的前三條是身戒:不殺生,不偷盜,不邪淫。第四至六條是口戒:不妄語,不綺語,不惡口,不兩舌。第八至十條是意戒:不慳貪,不嗔恚;不邪見。這樣,寇特鶹鵂斬斷了天門山的惡根,使她自己保持在大神天的狀態。
Figure 40 is a portrait of Coatlicue in her youth. She locked her ancestral cave, signifying her unwavering adherence to the Ten Precepts. The first three of these precepts are bodily precepts: not killing, not stealing, and not committing heretical sex. Precepts 4 through 6 are oral precepts: not to speak delusionally, not to use flowery speech, not to speak of coarse ferocious language, and not to two-tongue. Precepts 8 through 10 are intentional precepts: not being greedy, not being irritated, and correctly believing in four cruxes. In this way, Coatlicue severed the root of evil in Sky Door Mountains, maintaining her state in the Great God Sky.
5 升天必備的四件法寶 Four Necessary Treasures for Ascension
圖15,四王天的牌坊上畫著升天所需的四件法寶。從左向右,第一件法寶是個螺,代表翠玉女。第二件法寶是粒種子,是奧林心,相當於我們佛教中的菩提心,參見第16章的開篇部分。第三件法寶是個燧火石,代表青鬆石王(Xiuhtecuhtli)。第四件法寶是根線,代表墨西(Mexi),就是青鬆石王以翠玉女為餌來釣特拉洛克的魚線。
Figure 15: The archway of Four Kings Sky depicts the four juristic treasures necessary for ascension. From left to right, the first treasure is a conch, representing Chalchiuhtlicue. The second is a seed, representing Ollin Heart, equivalent to the Bodhicitta in Buddhism (see the opening of Chapter 16). The third is a flint, representing Xiuhtecuhtli. The fourth is a thread, representing Mexi, the fishing line that Xiuhtecuhtli uses Chalchiuhtlicue as bait to catch Tlaloc.
