When I see this nine-character mantra, I think of the time in the past. At that time, I used this nine-character mantra as a QQ signature for a long time.

Then during countless dark nights and countless walks at night, I felt this nine-character mantra to drive away fear.

Let’s get back to business and let’s learn about this nine-character mantra!

Popular:

The popularity of the nine-character mantra is related to Japanese animation. Many Japanese animations have appeared in this nine-character mantra. Such as: Naruto, Young Onmyoji, Tengu Gang, X-Men, etc.

I believe most people have seen it. This is the seal when activating ninjutsu.

Source:

In fact, it is the wisdom of our Chinese ancestors, which was borrowed and used by Japan.

The Taoist Nine-Character Mantra that all those who face a battle march forward in formation, the Nine-Character Mantra is also known as the Liujia Secret Blessing, is derived from the fifth paragraph of "Baopuzi·Neipian Volume 17·Dengshe":

"When you enter a famous mountain, you should use the armor to mark the day, and hang five-color silk ribbons five inches each on the big stone. You will get what you ask for. It is also said that when you enter the mountain, you should know the secret blessing of Liujia. The blessing said, "Those who are facing the army to fight, all line up. "Move forward". All nine words should always be prayed secretly, and everything should be avoided. The important path is not troublesome, this is what it means."

Function:

This is just like the Buddhist saying The six-character mantra is the same as "May God bless" that foreigners often recite.

As we all know, ancient people believed in demons and ghosts, and chanting the Nine-Character Mantra played a psychological role, just like how soldiers would shout "Come on" when charging, not only to cheer themselves up, but also to intimidate their opponents.

The words to read are like this: When approaching the army, those who fight, all, array, move forward (hang).

It means this: Linbing (when fighting), fighter (warriors), all (all), array (standing in line), moving forward (the one at the front).

Famous:

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, three Indian tantric masters, Shan Wuwei, Vajra Zhi, and Fu Kong Tripitaka, came to China, and they passed down the tantric teachings. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Tantric Buddhism brought to Tibet by the Mongols was integrated with the local Lamaism to form Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court believed that esoteric Buddhism was too weird and ordered its abolition. Therefore, the power of esoteric Buddhism gradually declined in the Central Plains. However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Esoteric Shingon sect, which was brought to Japan by Master Kukai, became widely spread. Esoteric Buddhism regards Vairocana (the Great Sun Tathagata, the famous Kamakura Buddha is Vairocana) as the supreme commander and founder of the religion, and strongly promotes inheritance, mantras and secret mantras.
