Exploring Tibet: The mysterious energy intertwined with Tangka and amulet
Have you ever thought that on the roof of the world, there is a mysterious force that is crossing thousands of years of time and space, silently affecting the hearts of countless people? Tibet, a land surrounded by snowy mountains and faith, is like a huge energy field, and Tangka and amulet are the two most shining pearls. They carry ancient wisdom and blessings, attracting the world to explore the mysteries.
Tangka: Buddha's energy painted on the canvas
Tangka, which means "scroll painting" in Tibetan, is not only an exquisite work of art, but also a visual presentation of Tibetan Buddhist doctrines. The painters carefully painted the images of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Dharma God, etc. on the canvas with natural minerals and plant pigments, each stroke contains piety and respect. These Tangka are like a window to the Buddha Kingdom. When we stare at it, we seem to feel an invisible energy flowing.
For example, a picture of Tangka depicting Master Lianhuasheng, the master rides a white horse and steps on a lotus flower, and his body shines goldenly. He held a manlu bottle in his left hand and a golden pestle in his right hand, symbolizing wisdom and strength. In Tibetan Buddhism, Master Lianhuasheng was revered as the "Second Buddha". He introduced Buddhism to Tibet, surrendered the local magic barrier, and brought light and peace to the land. When the believers face this Tangka, they believe that they can be blessed by Master Lianhuasheng, gain wisdom and courage, and dispel the darkness and fear in life.
The process of drawing Tangka itself is a practice. Painters will carry out strict rituals before writing, purify the body and mind, and accept the Buddha's will with a pure heart. They follow the ancient rituals, and each line and color has a specific symbolic meaning. Blue represents the sky and the Buddha's body, symbolizing infinite wisdom; yellow represents the earth and the Buddha's body, implying blessing and consummation. This rigorous creative process gave Tangka strong spiritual energy, making it the sustenance of Tibetans' faith and spiritual comfort.
Amulet: the guardian energy to carry with you
In Tibet, talismans are an indispensable part of people's lives. It is usually hidden in a small container by the scriptures, Buddha statues, etc. held by the high priest Dade, and then made with an exquisite shell. There are a wide variety of amulets, including metal and cloth, each of which has different meanings and effects.
There is a kind called "Jiugong Bagua Amulet". Its center is the Bagua map, surrounded by the twelve zodiac animals and the Jiugong grid. In Tibetan Buddhism, Jiugong Bagua represents the laws of the universe and the changes of time and space. Wearing this amulet, people believe that they can resist the evil and disasters of the outside world, balance their own aura, and bring good luck and peace. When people are in trouble or in danger, touching the talisman on their bodies seems to feel a mysterious force supporting them, giving them courage and confidence.
The process of making talismans is also full of sacred rituals. The high priests will perform blessing ceremonies such as chanting and enlightenment for amulets at specific times and places. They recited words in their mouths, praying for the blessing and protection of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In this process, the talisman is injected with powerful spiritual energy and becomes the patron god that people carry with them.
Tangka and amulet: the mutual blending of energy
Although Tangka and amulets are different in form, the energy they contain is mixed and complements each other. In Tibetan temples, believers can often be seen worshiping Tangka devoutly while holding amulets and praying silently. They believe that the Buddhist world shown by Tangka can give them spiritual inspiration and guidance, and the talisman can provide them with real protection in real life.
When a person wears a talisman and has an exquisite Tang card at home, he seems to be in a small universe full of positive energy. Tangka's divine energy nourishes his heart from the spiritual level, making his heart more calm and firm; while the guardian energy of the amulet resists the interference and infringement of the outside world from the material level, making his life more smooth and peaceful. This blend of energy is like sunlight and rain and dew jointly nourishing the earth, making life vibrant.
