The Dharma Which Eradicates Sorcery By Master
Sheng-yen Lu This was translated from Grandmaster Lu's 71th book, 正法破黑法. FORWARD When this book is put into print, it will be an earthshaking event. Living Buddha Lian Shen will be holding the auspicious sword of righteousness, slashing and shattering those practising black magic on all fronts. This is an era of Mara fluttering; everywhere is fraught with evil and witchcraft. The relationship between different religions is not only complicated; it is also very delicate. There are quite a few deviating from the correct doctrine, worship and even practise black magic. In the last few decades, Living Buddha Lian Shen has noticed that the practice of black magic and other forms of witchcraft is very rampant. Heretical sects have conducted many activities; amongst the various religious sects, many disputes are yet to be resolved. Under such abnormal circumstances, I have studied the issue at length, and come to the prognosis. In short, I have the prescription for its treatment. In this book, "The Dharma Which Eradicates Sorcery," I will reveal the truth of black magic and give detailed account of its practices; and offer the 'righteousness dharma'- the prescription - to ensure that common people will no longer be bewitched by the magicians. Black Magic is the ritual practised by the magicians. In Taiwan, it is called 'samo' by guaoshan tribesman; in north eastern China, it's called 'saman' in Tibet, 'black sect - black dharma' in Egypt 'Curse of the high priest,' in south-east Asia 'kongtau,' in India `Hindus witchcraft,' in the U.S. red Indians' `snake & eagle witchcraft,' in south America it is known as `scorpion witchcraft'. Black magic is the art practised by the magicians for the purposes of consolidating their power, wealth, status and sense of achievement. Moreover they also want others to adore their mysterious crafts. Black magic can roughly be classified into four categories:- (i) Charm and mantra - Using paper charm energized with spiritual power or mantra (secret holy words) to bewitch the victims. (ii)Evil spirit - Using the power of evil spirit to bewitch the victims so as to achieve the magician's objectives. (iii)Medicine - Using medicine to control the mind of the victim. In his disillusion, he will be subservient to the magician. It is very similar to hypnotism. (iv) Magic - By directing the chant at the victim's belongings and using association technique, the magician is able to make the victim lose his senses and indulge in illusion. Why is it called black magic? This is because by practising the rituals, the magician can wreck havoc, make people lose their minds, make people meet with accidents and even spell the death of his victims. As Living Buddha Lian Shen has mastered black magics and revealed them in his learning process, he has been quite often cursed by those from the evil sects. Fortunately, protected by the Buddhas and Vajras, I learned to use the righteous dharmas to tame the black magic, My body is now indestructible, my heart is clear and its true nature appears. I am enlightened as a Buddha now. In this book, I will seek to describe how the black magic is being practised; also reveal how the righteous dharmas can be used to dispel the black magic. My main aim of writing this book is to stamp out the spread of black magic, so that it can no longer cause harm to the innocents. The advent of black magic is quite widespread and complicated. Since readers' understanding on black magic is at best meagre, I will attempt to use my personal experience as a starting point in writing the book. By so doing, the account given can be in greater details, and on a lingering note. It is hoped that you can have a profound understanding on the cause and effect of the subject, after reading it. I do not wish to cause a stir in my book. For those who have attempted or used black magic on me previously, I have withheld their names. This book is aiming at shattering black magic, it is not directing at `certain type of people.' This is because I have respect for all religions, respect for the rights of 'certain types of people' I want to dissect black magic in my writing without further distraction. Living Buddha Lian Shen is now an enlightened guru; a sage in the Vajra sect. He has mastered all the Esoteric dharmas. To fulfil his vow of emancipating all sentient beings, he has come for reincarnation which is itself a major event in this world. He has thoroughly mastered Mahayana, Esoteric and Taoism, five types of mysterious arts, apart from inheriting five classes of correct doctrines. He emits great rays of light, knows all the dharmas and that in perfection. Living Buddha Lian Shen has already become a purified monk. The so called, "Sramana." Sramana is: Leaving the loved ones, ordained to practise the truth Controlling all the senses, unaffected by the worldly desires Causing no harm,be compassionate to all Praising no one in happy mood,unsorrowful in trouble Tolerating as the earth does, so it's called `Sramana'. As a monk, I write on black magic, using the auspicious sword of righteousness, to emit the light of wisdom, to guide human beings, so that they will move towards the bright shore of emancipation. By practising the righteous dharmas, all forms of black magic can be destroyed. I sincerely pray that upon the release of this book all mankind can distance themselves from the torments of ill-fate.
