Lord Ganesha 象頭神格涅沙 (Phra Phikanet)

Lord Ganesha, Lord of All Lords, God of Wisdom, Remover of Obstacles

格涅沙(梵文:गणेश 或 श्रीगणेश,Ganesha,一般人可能直稱象頭神,又译作伽内什)在印度是廣為人知以及備受崇敬的神明,是天神濕婆與帕爾瓦蒂的兒子,以及 Riddhi 與 Siddhi 的丈夫。在梵語中,格涅沙表示才華與智慧,因此是智慧與才華之神。祂的體態為斷去一邊象牙的象頭人身並長著四隻手臂,體色或紅 或黃,老鼠常伴隨在旁或當祂的坐騎。在各種雕繪中,祂一般是盤坐著或是翹起其中一邊的膝蓋。

典故:象头神是湿婆大神和帕尔瓦蒂女神的长子.他的故事来源版本有很多.最常见的故事是说,湿婆神外出之时,帕尔瓦蒂女神用自己的汗水创造了英俊的伽尼什来守护她.于是伽尼什很忠诚的在门外一直守护着母亲,当湿婆大神回家要进门时,象头神因为不认识父亲所以极力阻止.最后湿婆神在大怒之下,将伽尼什的头砍下.后来母亲杜尔嘎女神出来时发现自己的儿子已死,非常悲痛.所以湿婆神赐予祝福,说在北方找到第一具死去的生物,将他的头砍下来装在伽尼什身上便可以复活,但是众神只在北边找到一具大象的尸体,所以将象头装在了伽尼什的身上,从此他变成了象头人身的形象.而且湿婆神赐予他力量,可以清除一切的障碍,并管理制造障碍的小鬼嘎纳, 因为他被称为毗那夜迦,意为能除一切障碍.也被为嘎纳帕提,嘎纳的主人.

另外还有一故事,说月神虔诚苦修,终于获得了湿婆神的许可得到一个祝福.月神为了众生的幸福祈求修一座湿婆大神的神庙,凡是在那里顶礼朝拜的人都可以免除罪恶,得升天堂.因为湿婆神的祝福,无数的人命终后生到了天堂,包括曾经做过很大罪恶的人.正义之神阎罗王看到这个情形,所以祈祷帕尔瓦蒂女神, 说有很多极大的罪人没有受到应有的惩罚就升到了天堂,因此祈求母亲改变这种状况.但是由于神的祝福是不能更改的,所以母亲派象头神在人们在去朝拜神庙的路上制造许多的障碍,虔诚悔过的人可以容易的朝拜到神像.而不肯悔改的恶人则难以接近神庙.

由于象头神有这样的功德和力量,根据吠陀仪式的要求.人们在做任何祭礼之前都会先崇拜伽尼什,念颂他的圣名,祈求他除去灵性和物质上的障碍. 而且象头神通时也是掌管财富之神,所以很多做生意的人都会供奉他.象头神有时也是知识之神,因为妙音天女萨茹阿斯瓦蒂曾将自己的笔送给他,他曾经帮助广博仙人记录吠陀圣典.象头神通常绘为一面四臂形象,一手结施无畏印表示去除畏惧,一手持斧,一手持刺棒,一只手拿着甜品"拉杜".他的坐骑是他的好朋友,一只老鼠.佛教之中称为吐宝鼠,但佛教中的象头神通常绘为三眼.印度教为二眼.

象头神是佛教后期吸收供奉的一位重要的本尊.在唐密中称为大圣欢喜天,藏密中称为象鼻财神或象头财神,因为他能成就一切利益.宋代法贤所译的<<金刚萨埵说频那夜迦天成就仪轨经中说:"此最上第一仪轨。能于一切众生。作种种成就利益之事。乃至息灾增益敬爱调伏等无不成就。佛说金色迦那钵底陀罗尼经>>中说:"此是金色迦那钵底除障难真言。若众生受持真言者。所作诸法无不成。"可见两教之中都认为象头神有着同样的作用和功德.


卍字( 汉语读wan,4声)是神祗格涅沙的符號。格涅沙是永恆的小孩,有一个象头,四条手臂,代表根轮的四块花 瓣。衪的代表元素是土,相应矿物是碳。碳是一切生命的起源,亦是大地中最重要的元素。格涅沙是父神和母神创世时所分出来的第一个力量,因此代表生命的力 量。现代的科学发现,从一个角度看碳原子的「云子电」,会看见(阿尔发)和(俄梅戛),从另一个角度看,会看见个(唵)字,从另一个角度看,会看见一个 「卍」字。

开光泰国佛牌的保养知识

在了解佛牌保养概念时,让我们先来认识一下佛牌的构造:泰国佛牌是一种使用了非常特别的材料来制造的神圣法物。一般佛牌的材料彩特殊的佛法粉末、特殊矿物 以及特殊木料等。当然,制造佛牌的材料不只限于佛法粉末,有些佛牌是使用了特殊的贵重金属制造出的。这些特殊的贵重金属都是非常难得的材料,在那么多的金 属材料里,以混合了多种金属元素以及精心制造出的“那瓦诺哈”的贵重金属最为出色。当然制造佛牌还有许多其他材料。多数佛寺高僧使用圆寂了的高僧骨灰,特 别的矿石、珍贵的宝石以及使用了植物的材料来制造佛牌。在了解过佛牌的制造之后,现在让我们谈一下佛牌的保养知识。佛牌是属于一种神圣的法物,所以在不佩戴时,通常要把佛牌置于较高的位置存放,以视尊敬。保持干燥,在洗浴时最好将佛牌摘下,选择适宜处存往放。在夜间休息时,最好将佛牌摘下,用布包好置于头旁。
