Many people's impression of tianlong eight parts is still stuck in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, as well as adapted TV series, today Wotanka simply introduces you to the members of the tianlong eight parts, I hope everyone can have an understanding.
Heavenly beings, Buddhism believes, there are twenty-eight layers of heaven, and each time you go up, the lighter your desires will be, the purer your mind will be, and the fewer your troubles will be. In the six reincarnations, the celestial beings are the most blessed beings in the three paths, and their lives are much better than those of the human world, and their life expectancy is much longer. Of course, the celestial congregation also includes the god of each layer of heaven and the celestial beings of their dependents, such as the emperor Andha, the great Brahma king, etc., and the folk often call the heavenly king a god.
Emperor Shi Tian and Tianren
Although the celestial beings have great blessings and have very few troubles, but in the end there is no reincarnation, the exhaustion of the blessings will still enter the six reincarnations, and when their life expectancy is about to end, there will be a phenomenon of five decays of heaven and man, the clothes are dirty (the original clean clothes are getting dirtier and dirtier), the flowers on the head are wilted (the flowers on the top of the head become withered), the body is smelly (the body smells), the armpits sweat (sweat begins to be secreted under the creaky nest), and the unhappy seat (unwilling to sit on their seats).
Dragons, many people see this dragon word, they think of our ancient Chinese mysterious creatures, clouds and rain, and mysterious, often the dragon sees the tail and does not see the head. Our Chinese dragon legend lives in the sea, a new totem formed after the formation of the primitive tribal alliance.
Dragon crowd
The dragon in Buddhism is transliterated from the Sanskrit name Naga, the dragon in Indian mythology and Buddhist scriptures is different from the legends of the mainland, the word "dragon" in the Buddhist scriptures refers to "snake", and the word "dragon king" in the Buddhist scriptures refers to "snake king".
Night fork, seeing the night fork, friends who have not been in contact with Buddhism, must have remembered the first impression of "Nezha Noisy Sea", the night fork of the patrol and the third prince of the Dragon King of the East Sea saw Nezha bathing alone in the East Sea, and was ready to eat Nezha, did not think, Nezha is the disciple of the immortal Taiyi Zhenren, not only was not eaten, but also killed the three princes of the Dragon King and the night fork of the patrol sea. Later, in our Chinese view, the night fork is the mythical demon, and even in "Water Margin", Sun Erniang has a nickname of "mother night fork".
Night fork
In fact, in Buddhism, the night fork is also called the medicine fork, and it has the meaning of agility, courage, light spirit, secret and so on. Moreover, he was a god who could eat ghosts, and the Vimalaya Sutra records that "There are three kinds of night forks: first, on the earth, second, in emptiness, and third, in the night fork. And he was indoctrinated by the Dharma and became the protector of the Dharma, and in Buddhism, many of the protectors of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are the Night Forks, for example, the Vishamon Heavenly King (the Northern Duowen Heavenly King) has eight Night Fork Generals, and on the Oriental Glass Light Pure Land of the Medicine Buddha, there are twelve Medicine Fork Generals.
Ganda po
Although there is a "bo" in the name, "Ganda Po" is actually a male god, belonging to the indian cultural field, is the god in charge of music, and is especially good at playing musical instruments. In Sanskrit, there is the meaning of "unpredictable", and ancient Indian magicians were also called "Gandampo", and mirages were called "Gandampa City". They do not eat wine and meat, but only look for aroma as nourishment, but also from the body, aroma and music are vague and elusive.

garuda
Many people always think that Garou Luo is the Chinese Dapeng bird, but in fact, Dapeng is a kind of fish and carp in "Zhuangzi Getaway", and it is not a creature in the system at all.
garuda
In general, Garoulo appears in the form of a human-faced bird, a bird-faced person, or a full-bird figure. Before the advent of Buddhism, it was already active in Hindu mythology and was the mount of Vishnu, one of the three phase gods of India. It feeds mainly on snakes.
Asura
In Buddhism, asura is the third of the six paths, and the blessings are second only to humanity, but Buddhism believes that the sentient beings of asuras, who are divine and virtuous, are no different from the sentient beings of the Heavenly Path, but they do not have the morality possessed by the sentient beings of the Heavenly Path.
Asura
The Asuras, originally an evil god in ancient Indian mythology, were ugly in men and beautiful in women. The Buddhist scriptures refer to asuras as "non-heavenly" or "inferior heavens", suspicious and aggressive, always going to war over something that catches the wind and shadows. This sentient being has similarities with the ghost, but he is not a ghost; he has the same seven passions and six desires as a human being, but he is not a human being.
Kinnaro
Kinnara was also the ancient Indian god of music, and unlike Chandabha, they had a beautiful singing voice. Originally, there is a gender distinction, and it is said that the male Kinnara is a horse-headed person, while the female Kinnara is a beautiful woman's body, no different from the Heavenly Woman. Later, the Buddhist scriptures recorded that the head had horns, like people and non-human beings, like heaven and not heaven, a little confusing, so it was called doubtful god.
Later, in China, Because of its special mythology, Kinnara had the responsibility of supervising the kitchen and was called the Guardian Bodhisattva.
Mahabharata
Mahaka, according to the records, is the appearance of a human python head, originally a crawling snake, and ignorance, because of ignorance and ignorance, there is no treacherous heart, before attaining enlightenment, because of the hard work on the earth, got rid of the fate of the snake's body crawling, was reborn, and became a god.
Mahabharata
As long as we truly practice and practice the Good Fa, the Eight Parts of the Dragon Heaven will inevitably silently bless us and make our calamities from large to small and from small.
Maybe we have encountered some unfortunate things, but now that we think about it, although it is not very good, it is not a good thing to find and stop things in time, if there is no silent blessing of these protectors, I am afraid that with my own wishful thinking, a path has gone black.
