I was asked
if Mantrayana or Trantrism still has relevancy in today’s peril world?
My answer
is that Mantrayana is still has a place today!
In order to
find appropriate techniques to be fitted into our modern life style which is:
hectic, fast and high risks; we shall need to look on spiritual practices in
Ninjitsu (忍术). By now we
should know that Ninjitsu is not all about martial arts, Ninjas are also human;
what made them agile are their methods of concentrations:
·
The
standard Kujikiri (九字结)
o
This
is the standard method to achieve super concentration and to avert danger when
time is ample.
·
The
fast Kujikiri (快九字)
o
This
is the so-called quick way to stop violent behaviors or for achieving quick
actions in view of danger.
·
The
Marichi Dharani (摩利支天法)
o
The
practice of Marichi is highly recommended for anyone who travels a lot. I have
practiced Marichi Dharani for about 25 years and I was saved by someone in many
dangerous situations. One very interesting incident is that my hand was injured
in the middle of Indian Ocean and there was practically no way of finding ointment
until port call; suddenly a friend took out his back pain ointment and asked me
to rub his back. This was how my swollen hand was saved.
·
The
Acala/Fudo Myoo (不动明王法)
o
The
Acala is an important method in Japanese Mantrayana and Ninjitsu. The powers of
Acala will make ones opponent transfix or slow to react hence giving the
practitioner a split of a second chance to do miracles.
·
The
Fire Puja (火供)
o
It
is my opinion that fire ritual is also a very powerful method of avoiding
disasters. Every practitioner should at least have a pair of fire puja ladles
just in case of emergency. I perform fire puja extensively too to request for
serious illnesses to be cured and most of the time, my request was fulfilled.
It is a
little surprised to me that the Japanese Mantrayana rituals work better in
mundane affairs while the Tibetan rituals work best on deliverance matters and
in subduing of demonic forces. But there are only my experiences, perhaps one
should try and get his/her own feel to see which combinations work best for
him/she.
