The main function of Pixiu is to protect the owner and bring good luck to the owner. Therefore, the consecration location is very important when choosing Pixiu. It must be consecrated by a temple. Of course, the better the temple, the better the Pixiu they will consecrate. The more efficacious it is, if you want to invite Pai Xiu, I recommend inviting one from the White Horse Temple. After all, the White Horse Temple is the first temple in China, and their Yufutang is specially consecrated for the Lord of Destiny. You can directly search the Yufutang official website to make a reservation there. Consecrated Pixiu. I hired a pair of Lucky Pixiu last time. Business has gotten much better this year. It seems that the Pixiu is still very effective. I also hope it can bring you good luck. Hello! I originally wanted to add you on QQ and chat with you on QQ so that I can talk more comprehensively, but I found you several times and you were not online, so I just talked to you here, with more content. , you should read it carefully.
1. The best way to consecrate Pixiu is to take it to a temple and ask a monk to consecrate it for you. I cannot consecrate Pixiu because I am not good at consecrating holy objects. However, I am here to reveal to you the inside story of the current monk’s consecration for you to know. A formal consecration ceremony must have three main steps. The first is to purify the consecrated object (sprinkling purified water on the consecrated object), and the second is to decorate the consecrated object (that is, chanting sutras and pressing the scriptures into the consecrated object). ; The monks in the past were all ascetics, so their cultivation was very high and they could complete these three steps. There are very few monks and ascetics nowadays, and they are relatively hedonistic, so their cultivation is not good enough, and it is far inferior to the monks in the past. Therefore, when they consecrate things, they usually only do the first two steps, and some even do it enough. After taking three steps, the third step may not be successful, and most of them are unsuccessful. Those who have completed these three steps are called "consecration", and those who have only done the first two steps or even done the third step without success are called "blessings".
The biggest difference between "consecration" and "blessing" is that "consecration" has the holy body permanently residing in the object being consecrated, while "blessing" only has some sutras and mantras attached to the object being consecrated. Eucharist. In this way, the power of "blessing" is relatively small, so why Buddhism can use anything to give so-called "consecration". In fact, it is "blessing". Sutras and mantras can be attached to anything, as long as the thing is clean ( The first step of consecration is to purify the object to be consecrated, and the object to be consecrated will be purified).
Things that fail to be "consecrated" often have some bad things attached to them. Some monks are absent-minded when "blessing" things, and often cannot even press scriptures into the objects being blessed, which increases the chance of being invaded by evil things. Nowadays, many people take those Buddha statues to temples to ask monks to consecrate them, and then take them home to worship them. Many "evil things" occur. This is the result of the failure of "consecration" and "blessing".
But then again, now only monks can "consecrate" things. This is also the case when Taoist consecration fails, and the consequences are more serious. So that’s the way to go. You can choose some relatively qualified eminent monks to help you "consecrate", so the success rate will be higher. For the consecration of Pixiu, generally it can only be done to the point of "blessing", because it is more difficult to consecrate Pixiu (spiritual animals such as unicorns, dragons, etc.) than to consecrate Buddha and Bodhisattva statues. Ones that have been blessed are better than those that have not been blessed. At least they have considerable spiritual energy and are not just a decoration. More importantly, they are not easily invaded by evil things. It would be bad if they were invaded by evil things.
Let me add here that I use a vivid metaphor to let you understand the difference between "consecration" and "blessing". We bought a new home, and when we were ready to move in, we had to clean it, move furniture into the new home, have a moving-in ceremony, and then move in. This new home is like a statue of Buddha or auspicious animals (such as your Pixiu). "Consecration" means cleaning (purifying the consecrated objects) + moving furniture into the house (pressing scriptures into the consecrated objects) + holding an entry ceremony (inviting the Holy Eucharist to come) + moving into the new home (the Holy Eucharist always lives in the consecrated object) in things). "Blessing" means cleaning (purifying the consecrated objects) + moving furniture into the new home (pressing scriptures into the consecrated objects). Due to the role of scriptures, ordinary evil things are not so easy to interfere with things that have been "blessed". In other words, things that have been "blessed" still have the ability to ward off evil spirits.
2. The origin of Pixiu (not excerpted from the Internet): Pixiu is an animal imagined by wizards in ancient times. It has a dragon head, a horse body, and unicorn feet. It is shaped like a lion, has gray fur, can fly, and has a shape Fierce and mighty. Pixiu was originally a symbol of power (of course, the wizards at that time also imagined that Pixiu could ward off evil, and compiled the legend that Pixiu was the ninth prince of the dragon, which further showed Pixiu's nobility and magical powers) to show the nobility and power of the royal family. Inviolable. Pixiu was the mythical beast that guarded the imperial mausoleum at that time. At that time, Pixiu guarded the yin house, while the unicorn (used by the royal family) and the lion (used by dignitaries) guarded the yang house.
Around the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people discovered that Pixiu had no butthole and "only eats but does not poop". And because of people's worship of money, they made up another story saying that Pixiu has the function of attracting wealth. At that time, Pixiu was strictly prohibited from being used by the public, including dignitaries. If someone is found to have used Pixiu, that person will have the consequences of being implicated in the nine clans.
He Shen, a corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, was the first non-royal person to use Pixiu. Because at that time, Pixiu had been rumored to have the function of attracting wealth. He Shen hoped to gain more money, so he secretly placed one in his house. However, due to Emperor Qianlong's great favor towards He Shen at that time, the matter was forgotten. Later, other officials also had the courage to show off the Pixiu, and it slowly spread to the people. Pixiu is not only a mythical beast used to guard the shady house (imperial mausoleum), but also has the functions of warding off evil spirits, controlling the house, and attracting wealth.
Placement of Pixiu: The head of Pixiu must not face the inside of your home, but the outside! Otherwise there will be the opposite consequences! Pixiu should not be placed too high or too low. It should be about 1.2 meters above the ground. It can be a little higher. It is recommended to place it in the entrance hall or on the ancient shelf. Pixiu also has the effect of fighting the five yellows and transforming the three evil spirits, but the positions of the five yellows change every year, so it is not practical to say that the placement of the Pixiu changes with the changes in the positions of the five yellows every year. This "Five Yellow" is an evil star, which has a certain influence (bad influence) on our luck, physical health, and family harmony. The placement method upstairs is also correct. The southeast position and the east Qinglong position both belong to water, and Pixiu likes water. The most important thing to place is the direction of your head. If the southeast direction is towards your home, then placing it this way will definitely be counterproductive. Therefore, when placing the Pixiu, the most important thing is to have its head facing away from the house. In addition, other issues should be considered. Generally speaking, just keep your head outside, because the positions of lucky and unlucky stars change every year and are not easy to grasp. If you have someone to advise you to change the direction every year (on the premise of ensuring that the head of Pixiu does not point towards your home), if it is in the financial position, your financial resources will be better, if it is in the "Five Yellow" position, your home will be safer, and if it is in the career position, your career will be better... ....
I can tell you this here, I think it is detailed enough. The remaining details are up to you to figure out.
