火供之重要。 火供之重要。 火供之重要仪轨。 什么是火供的定义?火供的必要性?火供的方法?焚烧尸体如何获得果报? 定义是:一般来说,尸体有两种,一种是体验过的味道,另一种是遗弃的尸体。前者是指舌头通过品尝苦甜等味道而产生的感受,这被称为体验过的味道。后者是指意识转移到来世后,遗弃在世间的、如同石头般的粗重色蕴,对任何事物都一无所知,这被称为尸体。 什么是焚烧的定义?焚烧有三种:持续焚烧是指在见解的场合,以金刚般的智慧,了悟一切法皆为平等性,刹那间了悟一切皆与常断无关,这便是持续焚烧。如何显现呢?在《方便之索》中说:“以金刚般的智慧,焚烧有实无实之习气,否则无有智慧。”由此可知。 所谓焚烧对境,是指在事业的场合,观想自身为本尊,从心间生出Raṃ(藏文:རཾ,梵文天城体:रं,梵文罗马拟音:raṃ,汉语字面意思:种子字)的智慧之火,焚烧内外对境,这便是焚烧对境。在《支分》中说:“焚烧三有者是火,意之智慧燃为火。” 焚烧尸体的名称是焚烧物质,为什么呢?因为这个如同石头的身体,被真实的火焰焚烧,所以称为焚烧物质。如《劫如火燃续》中说:“此具余之蕴,于智慧火之界中焚烧。”又如《总集续》中说:“焚烧净化尸体之物质,以咒加持尸体后,以极香之各种香料,涂抹并擦拭尸体。”这就是焚烧尸体的定义。 焚烧尸体的必要性是什么呢?一般来说,将地融入土中并不矛盾,因为地是佛眼佛母的自性。将水倾倒入水中又有什么矛盾呢?因为水是玛吉的自性。山和土堆也是由五大元素组成,现在仅仅用火来焚烧

有什么必要呢?这是因为遗体不能抛弃在风和空中。如果将遗体埋在土里,会有产生大量生物尸体的罪过。如果抛入水中,骨灰就无法建造佛塔。因此,火没有产生生物的基础,如果用骨灰建造佛塔,就会成为获得菩提的原因,所以用火焚烧尸体有这样的必要。焚烧尸体的方法是按照仪轨经典进行。那么,首先用香水和甘露清洗有什么必要呢?用香水清洗是为了使寂静的本尊众感到满意,用甘露是为了忿怒本尊众。那么,在尸体上写上百字明有什么必要呢?将百字明系在尸体上焚烧不矛盾吗?系百字明的必要是为了焚烧四十二种妄念。系上百字明焚烧并不矛盾,因为可以将百字明观想为智慧本尊,安住在火焰燃烧的宫殿中,这并不矛盾。那么,系百字明的位置有什么必要呢?系的必要是观想太阳和月亮。在其上观想书写有文字的语言,其光芒焚烧所有妄念之处,这是必要的。那么,用香油涂抹头部有什么必要呢?这是为了加持头部为坟场的宫殿。那么,白色名册和黑色名册有什么必要呢?读完白色名册后交给掘墓人,掘墓人需要按照死者生前所做的一切善事,全部回向给众生。写完黑色名册后进行忏悔,在火中焚烧,是为了焚烧死者的罪恶。焚烧尸体的时候,仪轨主持者的想法应该如何?掘墓人坐在东方,工作者在北方,火供者在南方,忏悔者在西方,所有经典中都这样说。那么,焚烧尸体的火神是谁呢?一般来说,火神有两种:世间的火神和超世间的火神。焚烧尸体的世间火神不是护方神和世间守护神,而是超世间的本尊无量光佛父母。正如《总集经》中所说:火神是无量光佛,火神女是白衣女,是地、

What is the necessity? It is because the remains cannot be discarded into the wind and the sky. If the remains are buried in the earth, there is the fault of creating a large mass of animal corpses. If thrown into the water, there will be no basis for building stupas with the ashes. Therefore, fire has no basis for creating living beings, and if stupas are built with the ashes, it will become a cause for attaining enlightenment, so there is such a necessity for cremating the corpse with fire. The method of cremating the corpse is to follow the ritual texts. So, what is the necessity of first washing with scented water and nectar? Washing with scented water is to please the peaceful deities, and with nectar for the wrathful ones. Then, what is the necessity of writing the hundred-syllable mantra on the corpse? Is it not contradictory to tie the hundred-syllable mantra to the corpse and burn it? The necessity of tying the mantra is to burn the forty-two thoughts. It is not contradictory to tie the mantra and burn it, because the mantra can be visualized as the wisdom deity, residing in the palace of blazing flames, which is not contradictory. Then, what is the necessity of the place where the mantra is placed? The necessity of tying is to contemplate the sun and the moon. On top of that, it is necessary to contemplate the light radiating from the written words, burning all places of thought. Then, what is the necessity of covering the head with scented oil? This is to bless the head as the palace of the charnel ground. Then, what is the necessity of the white and black registers? After reading the white register, it is handed over to the gravedigger, and the gravedigger needs to dedicate all the good deeds done by the deceased to all sentient beings according to the deceased's intentions. After writing the black register, confession is done, and it is burned in the fire to burn the sins of the deceased. When cremating the corpse, how should the ritual performer's intention be? The gravedigger sits in the east, the worker in the north, the fire offering performer in the south, and the confessor in the west, as it is said in all the scriptures. Then, who is the fire deity that burns the corpse? Generally, there are two fire deities: the worldly fire deity and the transcendent fire deity. The worldly fire deity who burns the corpse is not the guardian of the directions or the protector of the world, but the transcendent deity Amitabha Buddha and his consort. As it is said in the Kun Dus Sutra: The fire deity is Amitabha, the fire goddess is the white-clad woman, is the element of

掌握火焰的力量,发誓要焚烧三界,是所有一切中最殊胜的光。如是说。那么,焚烧的征兆有多少呢?有六种征兆:火焰燃烧的声音如果很大,说明死者有很大的业障,会堕入地狱,所以要多做火供。如果火焰缓慢燃烧,发出“呜噜噜”的声音,说明没有业障,会转生到东方金刚部的净土。如果火焰不清晰,颜色发黑,说明有业障,会转生到饿鬼道,所以要多施放偿债朵玛。如果火焰发白,火焰断断续续,说明会转生到南方宝生部的净土。如果火焰呈蓝黑色,像风暴一样猛烈燃烧,说明会转生到非天道,所以要念诵真言(藏文:ཛབ྄,梵文天城体:जप्,梵文罗马拟音:jap,汉语字面意思:念诵)并多做火供。如果火焰发红,自然燃烧,说明会转生到西方极乐世界。如果火焰燃烧出很多尖端,说明有业障,会转生到边远地区的野蛮人中,所以要做息增怀诛四种事业。如果火焰凝聚成一个尖端燃烧,说明会转生到北方上方密严净土。如果火焰无法燃烧,冒着浓烟,一片漆黑,说明有很大的业障,会转生到畜生道,所以要修习无分别智,并在骨灰上多放擦擦。如果火焰燃烧成金刚、法轮等法器的形状,说明会转生到上方密严等天界,所以要举行会供。焚烧尸体的结果是,今生疾病和邪魔减少,罪业消除,来世获得成熟的持明果位,不会被邪魔吞噬。尸体焚烧的关键完毕。萨玛雅。火供的关键。

Having mastered the power of fire, vowing to burn the three realms, is the most supreme light of all. Thus it is said. So, how many signs are there in burning? There are six signs: If the sound of the fire burning is loud, it means that the deceased has great obscurations and will fall into hell, so many fire offerings must be made. If the fire burns slowly and makes a "uru ru" sound, it means there are no obscurations and will be reborn in the eastern Vajra family's pure land. If the flame is not clear and the color is black, it means there are obscurations. It means they will be reborn as a hungry ghost, so many debt-repayment tormas should be offered. If the flame is white and the flame is intermittent, it means they will be reborn in the southern Ratna family's pure land. If the flame is bluish-black and burns fiercely like a storm, it means they will be reborn in the Asura realm, so mantras (Tibetan: ཛབ྄, Devanagari: जप्, Romanized Sanskrit: jap, Literal Chinese meaning: recitation) should be recited and many fire offerings should be made. If the flame is red and burns naturally, it means they will be reborn in the western Sukhavati. If the flame burns with many tips, it means there are obscurations and they will be reborn among barbarians in remote areas, so the four activities of pacifying, increasing, magnetizing, and subjugating should be performed. If the flame condenses into one tip and burns, it means they will be reborn in the northern Ogmin, the pure land of Amoghasiddhi. If the fire cannot burn, and smoke billows and it is dark, it means there are great obscurations and they will be reborn as an animal, so non-conceptual wisdom should be practiced and many tsatsas should be placed on the ashes of the bones. If the flame burns in the shape of vajras, wheels, and other implements, it means they will be reborn in the heavenly realms such as Ogmin, so a tsog offering should be held. The result of burning the corpse is that in this life, diseases and evil spirits are reduced, and sins are eliminated. In the next life, one will obtain the ripened vidyadhara state and will not be devoured by evil spirits. The key points of corpse burning are complete. Samaya. The key points of fire offering.
