Buddha Sakyamuni Monastery - one of the largest Buddhist temples in Denpasar, after visiting the largest one in Bali, I've been interested in exploring other temples in the area. The main hall/building was much more impressive on the outside compared to the inside, though I did find the inner hall to be peaceful and quiet.

Vairocana | The Five Wisdom Buddhas Talon Abraxas

Not all Buddhas were considered flesh and blood or walked the earth. The Five Wisdom Buddhas are the Wisdom states as persons. The body of Vairocana is the body of the True Dharma.

The Five Wisdom Buddhas arose during the Mahayana development in India and were taken up by Tantric Buddhism. In Japan they appear in Shingon. These Buddhas differ from the Buddhas who appear in the lineage or who are said to have walked the earth at a certain time in a certain place as they represent principles of Mahayana teaching. They are sometimes called ‘Meditation Buddhas’ to distinguish them and because they may only be encountered in the states of meditation that form their bodies.

Vairocana is called the ‘Sun Buddha’ and is the ‘First’ (Skt. Adi) or ‘Primoridial’ Buddha and sits in the central place of the Five Wisdom Buddhas mandala surrounded by the four other Wisdom Buddhas who sit at the cardinal points. His name in Japanese is Dainichi Nyorai – The Buddha of Universal Illumination. His names and attributes are all connected with light and illumination, rays of life-giving power that initiate, nourish and sustain as the sun does all life on earth.

In Mahayana teaching his body is the Body of the Dharma (Skt. Dharmakaya), and is synonymous with such terms in Zen as ‘True Nature’, ‘True Face’ and ‘Buddha-nature’. His nature is emptiness (Skt. Sunyata), the ‘unborn’ of which the Buddha spoke in the Pali Canon, without which that which is born and created could not come into being.

Vairocana first appeared in the Brahmajala Sutra, a 5th Century manuscript written in Sanskrit and translated into Chinese by Kumarajiva. The title translates into English as Brahma’s Net Sutra. This relates to the analogy used by the Buddha who described a net that spreads throughout the universe in the three dimensions of space: length, breadth and depth. Where three strands meet there is a jewel to hold them in place like a dewy spider’s web. Each jewel reflects both itself and all the other jewels in the net simultaneously. The feel of this image is used to point towards the reality of emptiness, the true nature of the Dharmakaya – which is the body of Vairocana.

“Now, I, Vairocana Buddha, am sitting atop a lotus pedestal; on a thousand flowers surrounding me are a thousand Sakyamuni Buddhas. Each flower supports a hundred million worlds; in each world a Sakyamuni Buddha appears. All are seated beneath a Bodhi-tree, all simultaneously attain Buddhahood. All these innumerable Buddhas have Vairocana as their original body. “

-The Brahma’s Net Sutra

As the primordial principle Vairocana speaks outside the phenomenal world where all time is simultaneous. Although in the phenomenal world he has this or that name and is portrayed using this or that hand position (mudra), wearing certain garments and headdress, in truth he is beyond conceptual imagination and yet is ever present in each form, as Master Hakuin wrote: ‘‘like salt in seawater or glue in paint.”

In Shingon Buddhism he is represented by the Sanskrit letter ‘A’ which expresses life & death; emergence & return.

The mantra associated with Vairocana is:

Om a-vi-ra-hûm-kham vajradhâtu vam (Skt.) Om All Pervading One; Imperishable One

[Traditional Chinese Festival] Customs of 臘八節(Laba Festival) in China.Eng Sub

Today(January 18, 2024) is the traditional Chinese festival,臘八節 Laba Festival.Let’s learn about some interesting traditions and customs about this festival.

【About 臘八節(Laba Festival)】

Laba Festival (Chinese:臘八節) is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the month of La (or Layue 臘月), the twelfth month of the Chinese calendar. It is the beginning of the Chinese New Year period. It is customary on this day to eat Laba congee.

Laba Festival was not on a fixed day until the Southern and Northern dynasties, when it was influenced by Buddhism and was fixed on the eighth day of twelfth month, which was also the enlightenment day of the Buddha. Therefore, many customs of the Laba Festival are related to Buddhism.

The Laba Festival's name represents its date on the Chinese calendar. La is the name of the twelfth and final month, and ba means "eight/八". In ancient China, the "eight/八" referred to making sacrifices to eight gods at the end of the year.

In its original form, the festival was celebrated by making sacrifices to gods and ancestors to wish for good fortune, health, safety, and a good harvest in the new year. The word la originally referred to these sacrifices.

After Buddhism spread to China during the first century CE, the festival was used as commemoration of Gautama Buddha's enlightenment.It was given a fixed date (the eighth day of the twelfth month) during the Northern and Southern dynasties.

【Customs of 臘八節/Laba Festival?】

Laba congee/臘八粥

Traditionally, the consumption of Laba congee is an important element of the festival. There are multiple legendary accounts of the dish's origins. One story says that it originated in the Song dynasty with Buddhist monasteries giving congee to people in honor of the story that Sakyamuni (Gautama Buddha) reached enlightenment on the eighth day of the twelfth month after eating congee.

Laba congee or Laba porridge (臘八粥; Làbāzhōu) is very popular in many places in China. Different kinds of rice, beans, nuts and dried fruits are the main ingredients. People believe that it's good for health in the winter.

It is also known as "eight-treasure congee" (八宝粥; Bā bǎo zhōu)and is usually made with eight or more ingredients, representing good luck. Eight is a lucky number in China, and the ba in Laba also means eight.

There are many variations of Laba congee in different regions of China. Ingredients can include mixed grains, such as rice, millet, and barley; beans and nuts such as mung beans, azuki beans, lotus seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and chestnuts; dried fruit such as red dates, longan, raisins, and goji berries; and other ingredients such as vegetables and meat.

2.Laba garlic/臘八蒜

Another Laba food is Laba garlic, which is particularly popular in northern China.Garlic in Chinese (蒜; suàn) has the same pronunciation as calculate (算; suàn), and it is said that on the Laba Festival businesses should balance their books and calculate their revenues and expenditures for the year.Laba garlic is made by soaking garlic in vinegar. Laba garlic is soaked in vinegar from the Laba Festival until Chinese New Year. The garlic and vinegar are then used alongside Chinese dumplings (jiaozi) around Chinese New Year.

"In the heavens above and the Earth below, I alone am honoured." - Birth of Buddha

The Buddha is said to have been born on 8 April 566 BCE in the Garden of Lumbini.

As soon as he was born, he preclaimed the phrase "In the heavens above and the Earth below, I alone am honoured." This was a warning that the teachings he would later preach after becoming a Buddha would be the absolute truth, which no one had ever preached before.

Originally, such the phrase was not uttered by Sakyamuni Buddha himself. According to the Dirgha Agama Sutra, it was said to have been said at the time of the Buddha's birth by Vibhābha Buddha, the first of the seven Buddhas of the past, who is said to have ascended before the Buddha. It was later believed to have been said by the Buddha himself shortly after his birth.

The seven Buddhas of the past refer to the seven Buddhas who appeared before the Sakyamuni Buddha.

Huh I wonder if there was Kaizenix arc in the 1865th regression

Okay, well I do have a joke-y theory since we can't really know for sure.

So we don't actually know the activation parameters for it, since the notable thing about Kaizenix arc is that it doesn't happen in Ways of Survival at all. (There is some 'body possesion' scenario Kim Dokja vaguely remembers, but it is not kaizenix.) That's rounds 3-1863 of not even a hint of it!

BUT then we are told it does happen in the 1863rd and 1864th rounds both, not so coincidentally the only rounds where Han Sooyoung is around. So that could be the trigger.

the only logical conclusion here is that kaizenix exists exclusively when yoohan need to get weird with each other. and in that case, it definitely happens in the 'yoohan powercouple moment' round of 1865.

this also means that sakyamuni is a huge yoohan shipper who facilitates their hatesex in 3 different turns. W buddha

ngl the main thing that got me really riled up about Black Myth: Wukong (other than the weird culture war that developed around it god i hate the internet) is that a lot of westerners (and even non-buddhist chinese) really love to misinterpret and misunderstand what a Buddha really is. some people think its just another word for "creator god" or "high god" or "sage" when the entire schtick of a buddha is being beyond all of that. you just KNOW these indios have never read JTTW because they don't understand the buddha is reality and beyond reality. they're beyond duality. that's the whole schtick. even brahma the creator god worshipped the buddha. even indra the king of gods called sakyamuni the god of gods. power scaler brainrot is on another level. the buddha is beyond powerscaling, that's the whole point of buddhism. it's to escape your petty powerscaling that ties you to your mortality. perish in the mediocrity you wallow in
