【道教道法文化】暨【道教科儀文化】中,【手訣】及【指紋】的使用,絕對是少不了的。

 

【手訣】及【指紋】的使用,最早可追朔至【殷商二朝】,之後便是【漢代】,而到了【宋時】,【手訣】及【指紋】更是多不勝數,尤其於【雷法】之中,更是花樣多變。

 

【手訣】及【指紋】,大概可分為以下幾類:

 

1 – 陰訣

2 – 陽訣

3 – 乾訣

4 – 坤訣

7 – 滅魔

8 – 超拔

等等。

以及等等。

 

應詢問,在此簡單分享【第二階段】之【開掌】。

 

於【正一道法文化】中,欲先使用【雙掌】來「掐」【手訣】,必定得先明白「基礎」的【掌紋】,以便在「掐」【手訣】時,能很好的「達到效果」。

 

今日於此,分享【手訣】「基本」的【掌紋】,如下:

1 –
一元陰陽

2 – 三氣五行

Manifestation Anniversary of Salvation Lord Tai Yi 2022

 

Tai Yi Tian Zun (太乙天尊) aka Tai Yi Xun Sheng Jiu Tian Zun (太乙尋聲救苦天尊) or Tai Yi Ci Fu (太乙慈父).

 

In Taoism, he is the main key-person who is being appointed to take charge of the task of doing salvation for all the suffering souls, whether is to salvage them out of the suffering Realms or salvage them and bring them to the Eastern Palace for enjoying of eternal joyous.

 

During Taoist funeral wakes' rituals/ceremonies, Tai Yi Tian Zun will be invited and the Priests that conduct the Ritual/Ceremony must recite scriptures that are dedicated or associated with Tai Yi Tian Zun.

 

Different mantras are being recited too, in-order to assists the passed-on person to get the necessary blessing from Tai Yi Tian Zun.

 

In Big Salvation Ritual/Ceremony, the Taoist Priest will have to recite the Official Title of Tai Yi Tian Zun and also to visualize oneself turning into Tai Yi Tian Zun while releasing the Positive Energy or Light Ray to do the salvation of the suffering souls.

 

Today, such Ritual/Ceremony can still be seen, but due to the engagement of Taoist Priest to conduct Funeral Ritual/Ceremony has dropped and so, not much people will be able to understand or see a Good "transformation"

 

More Info:

 

Heavenly Lord Tai Yi aka Lord Tai Yi, the high ranking Taoist Deity that take charge of Salvations for the Sufferings and also the Pity-Souls.

 

According to Taoist History, Lord Tai Yi was being honoured by the Taoists far before any other Taoist Deities were being known and pay respect. From there, we were able to know that Lord Tai Yi was a highly-respect Deity in the whole Culture and Practice.

 

Due to the misunderstandings and certain mixture of belief, in Taoist Culture, there are 2 Manifestation Anniversaries for Lord Tai Yi, 1 in the Seventh Month and 1 in the Eleventh Month.

 

If we will to track back the Records of our Official Taoist Culture, the actual Anniversary shall fall on the 11th Day of Lunar 11 Month.

 

For Year 2022, it falls on 04 Dec.

Manifestation Anniversary of Heavenly Master Xu Xun 2022

 

On the 25th Day of Lunar 10 Month (農曆十月廿五日), its the Day that Heavenly Master Xu Xun gained his Immortal-hood, in some contexts known as his Manifestation Anniversary.

 

In Taoism, he is another important Heavenly Master that had bring together the bonding of Taoist Culture and also, performing the Upright Preaching of Taoist Skills and Knowledge.

 

Due to few Deities having the same Official Title with Xu Xun, many a time, Taoists tend to get mix-up. And so, many misconceptions and wrong ideas had occurred.

 

More info on Heavenly Master Xu Xun許天師相關資料:

 

Xu Tian Shi (許天師) aka Heavenly Master Xu, real name known as Xu Xun (許遜), Xu Jing Yang (許旌陽) or Xu Jing Zhi (許敬之), Taoist Name known as Ling Jian Zi (靈劍子), born in Wu Chi Wu Second Year (CE239 吳赤烏二年), 28th Day of Lunar 1 Month (農曆正月二十八日). Hometown in Nan Chang, now known as Jiang Xi Province (家鄉於南昌今為江西).

 

Since young, Xu Xun was an intelligent boy who was strongly connected with Spiritual Skills & stuffs.

 

At the age of 20 (弱冠之年), he seek Mastership under Wu Meng Zhen Ren (師承吳猛真人), from then, he started to do researches on Spiritual Skills, the Nature Changes, Prediction Skills, etc.

 

CE280, after certain obstacles Xu Xun encountered, he decided to stop his cultivation and went for the Imperial Examination. Due to his knowledge and wisdom, he passed the exam and was appointed as the Magistrate Officer of Jing Yang Area (旌陽縣 this was how the folks addressed him as Xu Jing Yang later part in the History), at that time, he was 42 years old.

 

During his serving of the Nation Service in Jing Yang Area, he was being highly respected by the commoners. And due to his Uprightness and Non-bias-attitude, after he left the Area, the commoners dedicated statues for him as a form of gratitude.

 

Soon, Jin Dynasty (晉朝) was in a chaotic status. Knowing that Jin Dynasty wouldnt be able to last forever, Xu Xun resigned from his post and returned to his Masters premises to regain his self-cultivation again.

 

After returning to his Master side, his Master brought him along to travel around the whole Country to do necessary salvation for the sufferings. During the travling, Xu Xun subdued a few demons and Deities, such as Tiger Demon, etc.

 

Besides doing salvations & subduing, Xu Xun was being imparted with a few Manuals with Spiritual Skills known as Tai Shang Ling Bao Jing Ming Fa (太上靈寶淨明法), which later Xu Xun used the title Jing Ming while he set-up his Sect - Jing Ming Sect (淨明道).

 

CE374, 25th Day of Lunar 10 Month (農曆十月廿五日), Xu Xun got his Enlightenment. At the moment of his Enlightenment, he was being summoned to the Celestial Palace (天庭) to meet up with Jade Emperor (玉皇大天尊). Due to his Uprightness and Faithfulness in continuing the Preaching of Taoism Teaching, he was being bestowed with the title Heavenly Master Tian Shi (天師之職).

 

After he got the bestowed title, Xu Xun’s whole family, of about 120 members, were also being summoned to the Celestial Palace to gain a position in the Celestial Court System. In Chinese, there is a saying for Xu Xun’s family – Yi Ren De Dao, Quan Jia Sheng Tian (一人得道, 全家昇天). Meaning one person got Enlightenment, the whole family was also being granted to gain Immortality.

 

From then, he was being group with the other 3 Heavenly Masters to form the Four Heavenly Masters to assist the Three Realms (三界) in doing preaching for Dao.

 

In Taoism Culture or Chinese Deity System, Xu Xun was also being addressed as Gan Tian Da Di (感天大帝).

 

Till today, the Hock Chew (福州), Hock Cheng (福清) and Teochew (潮州) Clans still honoured Xu Xun as their Protector (守護神).

《道教符籙文化。破伐邪蹤。滅蠱除廟。2022》

 


《道教符籙文化。破伐邪蹤。滅蠱除廟。2022

 

邪廟不可為,

五雷轟,

天火燒,

人命不保。

 

蠱法不可施,

蠻雷炸,

地火焚,

永世不免。

 

【道教符籙文化】之中,就有「收錄」了好幾道「破伐邪廟」之【符諱】。

 

如遇「邪廟」、「邪壇」、「邪師」、「邪法」,等等,皆可施其【符諱】以滅之。


《道教科儀文化。關祝燈儀。取天火雷炁。2022》

 









《道教科儀文化。關祝燈儀。取天火雷炁。2022

 

陽燧取天火,

五雷之炁降九天,

動以震山河。

 

觀燈分精火,

五行之華化十方,

光可照日月。

 

【關祝燈儀】,又簡稱【觀燈法會】,一項非常重要【道教科儀法事】之一。

 

於【關祝燈儀】之中,除了「迎請各別重要聖真降臨」之外,「點火取火」,便是一項非常「重要」、「隆重」的【功課】或【功夫】了。

 

而此「點火取火」,不是一般的用著【打火機】便可,而是「敬取」【天然火光】,將【雙流紫竹】「點燃」,這才能被稱為【取天火】(如今很難辦到,很多也沒法照古禮了)

 

何時須「取天火」?

 

一般為:

 

晉宮(入新廟)

謝天恩(三年圓科)

開天爐

旺舊廟

大開光

等等。

 

【取天火】時,則須由【秦漢】時期(有者則記載為【周朝】)所傳下的【陽燧鏡】,以便引【天之火炁】「點燃」【雙流紫竹】。

 

據《周禮。疏》記載:“以其日者,太陽之精,取火於日,故名‘陽燧’,取火於木為‘木燒’也。”

 

而《舊唐書。禮儀志》:“但比年祠祭,皆用陽燧取火,應時得。”

 

而這裡的【陽燧鏡】,從【秦漢】時的【金銅】,到【唐宋】是的【琉璃】或者【銀銅】,便是「今日」使用的【放大鏡】之「前身」了!

 

於「記載」之中,【宋明二代】,每位【道士】身上必有一【陽燧鏡】,以便「取火煉丹」或者【超度鬼神】,就如:

 

【陶弘景天醫】於「煉丹實踐」中,便有著很多特別之處,「陽燧取火法」,便是其一。

 

為何要用「陽燧取火煉丹」呢?

 

《華陽陶隐居內傳》就有提到:

 

“自攝心專煉,弥能謹篤。至於燃鼎用陽燧,日中取火,蓋精如此也是!

 

那麼「陽燧之火」,該用「何物」來燃呢?

 

之前有提到【雙流紫竹】,而於【南北朝】之《燈賦》也有記載道:

 

“銅華金擎,錯質樓形,碧為雲氣,

玉為仙靈,雙流為枝,豔帳充庭。

 

而到了【南宋】期間,使用【陽燧鏡】,更是「廣泛」,尤其於《靈寶大法》之中、《正一分燈儀》,等等,都有如此之「記載」:

 

分燈科儀先要請光,即在建壇日正午(午時一刻),書請光符二道,用陽燧取火,之後點燃元始天尊神位前之油燈,這便是道教文化中,取日中真火可以下徹九幽,意在以天上之陽光之精,開地下之幽暗。

 

最後,來分享一下【明朝】《天皇至道太清玉冊。修真器》中,對「請火陽燧」暨「請水方諸」的簡介,如下:

 

《陽燧》

 

古者以陽燧取火,香降靈也。凡修丹者,皆用此火,不用凡火,故道家皆用之。蓋火出於燧,燧圓而火不圓。《叅同契》謂陽燧以取火,非日不生光,以燧向日,以艾承之,可以得火。

 

《方諸》

水出方諸。方諸方而水不方。《叅同契》亦謂方諸非星月,安能得水漿,其法以之向月,以盃承之,可得水也。凡道家修大丹,不用凡水,故用此水。

《道教科儀文化。關祝燈儀。天篩地網敕。2022》


 

《道教科儀文化。關祝燈儀。天篩地網敕。2022

 

觀燈關祝光,

火映三界十洲,

千祥降戶。

 

天篩地網收,

法施五嶽七洋,

萬霛臨軒。

 

【關祝燈儀】,又簡稱【觀燈法會】,一項非常重要【道教科儀法事】之一。

 

【關祝燈儀】,「最早可追溯」自【唐代末年】,而到了【宋朝】,則有了很好的程序規定,因此也很好的或者說,完善的保留至今。

 

【關祝燈儀】,可分【金籙科】、【玉籙科】或者【朝敬科】,隨著【時代】的變遷,內容也有了一定的演化。

 

【關祝燈儀】,也有著「答謝」【三界聖真】之意、「朝敬」【三元天尊】之禮、等等,因此【民間】也稱之為【三元觀燈科】(有者則被「扭曲」為只有相關的【派門】才能行此【法會】,這是不然的)

 

【關祝燈儀】,啟行起來不容易,但是能「圓滿圓融」的啟行,相對的滿足感是無法言語來形容的。

 

於【關祝燈儀】,一般也能看到所謂的「獻牲禮之科目」,也就是【民間】稱之為的「獻生獻熟賞軍」,如更加隆重者,會當場「宰豬屠羊」上敬,以表「答庥不待之歉」!

 

如今,因為「衛生管理」的律定,因此很多的「宰豬屠羊」也就沒落了,只改為已處理好的【牲畜】或者【素牲禮】。

 

那麼【關祝燈儀】與【天篩地網】有著什麼關係呢?

 

其「意義有六」,於此簡單分享「三項」:

 

一,

代表宇宙大道的行程。

 

因此於啟霛天篩地網時,就有著三元、五行、七元、八卦暨十一曜的加持法。

 

二,

代表中天華蓋的臨壇。

 

中天華蓋,寓意三界聖真臨軒,更是開道迎聖不可缺少的。

 

三,

南離火宮中的火邏將軍。

 

於請火之時,必不可少的段落之一。
