Tools used by Maiko to kill mosquitoes. That is, it is made of animal hair, cotton, hemp and so on. On the handle, it has the same function as the dust tail and different shape. It is also called brushing, or dust removal. In India, it is generally used to repel mosquitoes.
About the origin of the Bhikuni school's use of Bhikuni's strokes, it is recorded in the Miscellanies of Bhikuni: "The Buddha was in the high hall next to the Gongguchi in Yan Guangcheng, and sometimes all the weeds were eaten by mosquitoes, and his body was itchy and scratched. When the layman saw himself, he asked,' Holy one! "Why," he replied with something, "Holy one! Why don't you hold the mosquito? Answer: "I hope not." By virtue of the white Buddha, the Buddha said,' I smell grass and livestock brushing mosquitoes today.' "That is to say, when Bi Bing meditates, he is bitten by a mosquito and itches, so let the Buddha hold her strokes to repel mosquitoes.
With the permission of the Buddha, some people in the crowd took the treasure as a handle and brushed the precious yak tail. When the layman saw it, he sneered and said, "Holy one! Although you shaved your hair, you didn't get rid of greed. " And told the Buddha that, therefore, the Buddha formulated the materials for making a pen: "There are five kinds of mosquito repellent: one is made of twisted wool; Second, use hemp; Three-point muslin; Fourth, use old and broken things; Fifth, shoot with branches. If you use treasures, you will be guilty. "
In other words, the materials used to make a pen are limited to five kinds, that is, wool, hemp, fine split cloth, worn-out things, branches and treetops, precious yak tails and other treasures are not allowed. This is because the white yak's tail stroke was the most expensive at that time, and it was called white horse's tail stroke. At that time, when the Buddha came back from preaching the theory that heaven is the mother, Brahma held a white finger to wait on the Buddha.
Since the Tang dynasty, the Zen master has held a pen or regarded it as a solemn instrument; When the abbot or acting abbot attends class, there is a popular saying called "Fu Bing". Five heads, such as the first one in the front hall, also perform the duties of Fu Bing, which is called five heads of Fubing; The waiter with the strokes is called the waiter with the strokes. Or those who have good ideas, their teachers will reward them to Fu Zi. Since the Kamakura era in Japan, Zen forest has also used it to stroke children. Later, except Shintoism, all other sects regarded it as a solemn instrument, which was used by the tutor when attending the Dharma Meeting and the initiation funeral.
In addition, [url] Tantric [/url] usually uses strokes to touch the enlightened body as a symbol of getting rid of troubles and obstacles, so strokes are also one of Tantric tools.
Stroke is one of the most commonly used teaching props of Zen founders, so there are many reasons to understand it. There is such a case-solving:
The teacher (Xiang Xian) asked the monk, "Where are you from?"
The monk said, "Come to Weishan!"
The teacher said, "What did the monk say recently?"
The monk said: "People asked how they came from the West, and the monk put up a stroke."
The teacher heard this and said, "How can the brothers in the other school understand the monk's wishes?"
The monk said: "There is a theory: the color is bright and the heart is bright, and it is clear."
The teacher said, "Even if we do, what's the hurry?"
The monk asked, "What does the teacher want?"
The teacher also improved the strokes.
In this case, the disciples of Weishan discussed the meaning of Weishan vertical pen, which means bright colors and obvious objects. Xiang Yan criticized Weishan disciple "even if you can, why not hurry?" It means: people who are aware realize now. If they are not aware, what's the use of doing something urgent? So the monk asked Xiang Yan again, and Xiang Yan still raised his strokes. This action permeates all languages and directly shows the true Buddha nature.
There is also: bird tail: a tool used by ancient people to repel insects and prevent dust when chatting. Insert animal hair on both sides and upper ends of slender wood strips, or let the animal hair hang down directly, similar to Pinus massoniana. According to ancient legend, when migrating, the tail of the former ostrich is a sign of direction, so it is called. After talking, the ancients must follow suit and become accustomed to it, which is elegant for celebrities. They often hold them in their hands when they are not talking. ...
