ReplyDeletebro is this tian peng yuan shuai... the zhu ba jie?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha.. Zhu Ba Jie only appear in the classic Journey to the West, which is a classic that written to insult and down-grade Taoism in Late Ming Dynasty.
ReplyDeleteIn the classic, the author said that Zhu Ba Jie is the reborn of Tian Peng Yuan Shuai after he disturb Chang E in Guang Han Palace...
But in real fact, there's no such thing... only those who are supporting the other Religions (downgrading Taoism) will tend to dedicate statue of Pigsy to replace Tian Peng Yuan Shuai.
Marshal Tian Peng is also known as Ucchusma (秽迹金刚) in Buddhism.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, we can also see the name of Marshal Tian Peng appearing in 《一白咒》:
一白。二黑。三碧。四绿。五黄。六白。七赤。八白。九紫。天官。地官。水官。天蓬。天猷。翊圣。佑圣。贪、巨、禄、文、廉、武曲、破、辅、弼。火天尊胜。急奉中天星主。北极紫微大帝律令。统领三官四圣。南辰北斗。关率灵官王善。会全上清天医。赵许高陶。田崔刘孙。八大元帅。全司官将。降布真烈。大赐神通。急急如中天星主紫微大帝律令摄。
That insult comparing him to sex crazed pig, does that mean that he is in fact Chu Ba (Buddhist version) of course?
ReplyDeleteHahaha.. of cos not.. in Buddhism, there's no Zhu Ba Jie too... wahahaha
ReplyDeletebut got ppl pray to zhu ba jie ?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha.. let them pay respect to him lo... no comments.. wahahaha
ReplyDeleteShi Fu.....sad to hear that Marshal Tian Peng is being taken advantage of even with his ranking. Fortunately, we have u here to provide us the clarification...great to know the truth...never too late...sp
ReplyDeleteonly a few of us noe nia...........hahaha
ReplyDeletejave isit ur job to tell the whole- world ? hahahaha : )
Hahahaha.. my job is to spread to as many people as possible... unless someone like sihai here to oppose on me... wahahahaha
ReplyDeleteanyway, in other countries, most of the Taoists are being taught on the right teaching, only those who are degrading Taoism is still trying to spread rumours on how bad our Deities are... anyway, no worries... one day, truth will appear.
Ai...leave my piggy brother alone... I like him at the "Journey to the West" and best let him stay there and I certainly don't like the idea that someone should make fun of Marshal Tian Peng either.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha.. too bad is that, cos of jealousy among Religions, alot of other Religions like to mock on Taoism of spreading the ideas of paying respect to multiple Deities...
ReplyDeleteSigh... when then we really appreciate what we have here in Singapore, where we should have relatively nice people who are tolerant of other religions?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I was brought up a Catholic, but I always have a healthy respect for other people's religion, and accord reverence to another diety or god... after all, who says there is only one way to reach out to God?
Hahahaha.. its good that you think that way and respect the other Religions... this is the type of people that really can see God after they left... salute to you.

bro some questions .. though there is no zhu ba jie in buddhism but is there tian peng yuan shuai ?
Hahahahaha... if they insist to have one, we cant stop that... from the title 秽迹金刚, you can see, it's again another "down grade" for Tian Peng.
ReplyDeleteTian Peng Yuan Shuai in Taoism, is a very high rank and important Marshal that leads Million Millions of Spiritual Armies and Generals. Once a title become a Jin Gang, thats all....
this is because buddhism dont really have the title General. The title 金刚 is the best word already. Buddhism practise fairness and respect other religions; but when buddhism came into china,some of the dieties's name and title had convert into the buddhist version and the RESPECT is still there.
ReplyDeletei think bro Javewu you got the wrong idea.
we buddhist did not down grade any of the dieties. We're still respecting them high up.
Hahahaha.. as for this, I cant comment much, cos my task here is to promote the Correct and Upright Culture of Taoism.
ReplyDeleteAnd how our Taoist Deities being imported into Buddhism, and how the titles being changed, I think only the person or the author who gave the name and make the importing, know the answers.
To me, Taoist Deities cannot be mix with Buddhist Deities, once mix, issues happened.
Ucchusma Deity is actually the Vajra manifestation of Shakyamuni Buddha. The full title is 秽迹金刚大权神王佛.
ReplyDeleteSo I don't think this is a "down grade" but a "up grade" for Marshal Tian Peng since there is a "佛" in his title.
I will like to apologise to those, whose posts are being deleted, cos the information contained inside can be quite misleading, for those who are seeking the right culture of Taoism or in this Taoism Website or the Web that promotes the Culture of Main Stream Taoism or Real Taoist Chinese Deities.
ReplyDeleteAnything un-related or not closely associated can cause un-necessary issues.
Thanks for the understanding.
Shifu do you have pictures of 翊聖、佑聖?
ReplyDeleteYi Sheng is a bit rare to find, but You Sheng is Xuan Tian Shang Di, so you can proceed to the section that is dedicated to him.
ReplyDeleteBut in some other contexts, the Four Sages got their own names, here they are:
Tian Peng (天蓬): Liu Jie Zhuang (劉傑莊)
Tian You (天佑): Tang Yuan (唐淵)
Yi Sheng (翊聖): Zhang Hai Ji (張海機)
You Sheng (佑聖): Li Hao Qi (李浩忔)
What is the other title of Yi Sheng (翊聖)... If You Sheng is Xuan Tian?
ReplyDeleteYi Sheng is being recorded as the Marshal of the Negative Energy that is able to put all demons & evil entities into cease in a very short period.
ReplyDeleteThe full title of Yi Sheng is Yi Sheng Bao De Chu Qing Zhen Jun (翊聖保德儲慶真君).
With him, he got the authority to summon Liu Ding Liu Jia and other Spiritual Armies to work for him or assist him in any form of subduing.
Thank you very much. I wonder why it became very hard to see his image.
ReplyDeleteYi Sheng is not that common and only those who are into Main Stream Taoism or an Official Taoists will know who are the Four Sages, if not, alot of people will just treat them as normal Generals.
ReplyDeletehehehe. Glad we have the opportunity to learn from you if not we'll don't know much about these things either. We really appreciate your hardwork, researches and kind effort of guiding and teaching us. Wu Liang Shou.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, its my task to do that.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are more people out there doing the same thing as me....
