Slowly, the thought of Shri Dakini was being pulled out.
Om, Chen Po Sa, Di Po Sa, Ji Mo, He Ta Po Sa, Do La Ba Ruo!
Seeing Shri Dakini at a disadvantage, the Old Monk began to move the human bone prayer beads in his hand and chanted.
This was the 【Corpse Forest Guardian Heart Mantra】.
This mantra has the power to resist evil intrusions, ward off disasters, and more importantly, it invokes the incense offerings of Willingness to empower oneself.
After reciting the mantra, strands of golden light burst forth from the Old Monk's prayer beads, illuminating Shri Dakini's skeletal form like a Golden Light Spell.
This was the Willingness of the devotees' incense offerings.
Pure, vast, magnificent.
This was the power of faith.
Before the Old Monk, the flames in Shri Dakini's eyes began to blaze fiercely.
In her hand, the Gabara Blood Bowl shattered, sending streams of crimson ghostly shadows shooting into Shri Dakini's mouth.
In the depiction of Dun Zong, this Shri Dakini held the Gabara Blood Bowl, symbolizing her drinking the blood of demons and enemies.
Shri Dakini was not known for compassion; she was referred to as the Grave Lord, overseeing the Eight Cold Corpse Forest, protecting all disciples who practiced in this unclean realm.
Unlike the serene and benevolent statues typically worshipped in temples that bring comfort to people, the images seen in Tibetan Tonzong are often those of fierce deities like the Three-Headed, Six-Armed King of the Underworld.
There are also enchanting figures like Duma or fearsome representations like the Buddha Mother, whose forms are terrifying and monstrous, each possessing multiple limbs and holding items made from Kabala.
They are exceptionally fierce.
This is because Dun Zong is a fusion of multiple religious traditions.
In reality, it primarily combines elements of Tibetan Shamanism, Hinduism, and Buddhism into a distinct branch that some Han Chinese Buddhists consider heretical.
It upholds the life-and-death practices of Shamanism, while absorbing new cultivation methods from Hinduism.
Additionally, due to the political-religious unity before liberation, it has given rise to unique rituals and practices within Tibetan Tonzong.
Not all deities in Zang Dun Shen are Buddhist; many deities from Hinduism and Bon Religion, as well as various malevolent entities from these traditions, are included in the Zang Dun Deity System.
According to Tibetan interpretations, any image that has been subdued by Buddhist teachings can enter into the pantheon of Dun Zong.
Lamas can harness the power of Heterodoxy. Since the manifestations of Heterodoxy are mostly demons with a nature for killing, invoking their power requires a certain price. To summon them, one must offer tributes that they favor. Each Heterodoxy manifestation has its own preferred offerings. The demonic nature does not need to change; the more vicious and cruel the demon, the more useful it is to the Lamas.
According to Dun Zong, once these Heterodoxy spirits are tamed by Buddhist teachings, they can integrate into the Dun Zong pantheon. The Lamas are well-versed in this practice and can command the powers of these spirits, most of which possess a bloodthirsty nature. To summon these deities, Lamas must present desirable tributes as a form of bargaining.
As for the nature of these spirits, Lamas believe that the more malevolent the spirit, the more valuable its power is to them.
A deep, resonant sound echoed like a great bell. This sound held significance. In Tun Xu, it is said that the Supreme Being, He Ru Ga (Victory Bliss), subdued the three realms and emitted a hum that stunned all living beings in the world. When sentient beings awaken, they see the forms of Shu Sheng Hei Lu Ga and his consort, revealing to them that nothing in this world is eternal.
Humans experience birth, aging, illness, and death; however, beings fail to understand the principle of Wuchang and mistakenly cling to existence, ultimately inviting the suffering of reincarnation. Shri Dakini shows people their final end: merely a skeleton, prompting them to abandon their attachment to permanence and seek wisdom for liberation and great joy. This also explains the origins of Dun Zong's views on bones and impurity.
Shri Dakini is the deity who governs the Forest of Corpses. She protects and oversees eight cold forests designated as disposal sites: Eastern Brutal Cold Forest, Northern Tonye Cold Forest, Western Vajra Flame Cold Forest, Southern Bone Lock Cold Forest, Northeast Laughing Cold Forest, Southeast Auspicious Cold Forest, Southwest Dark Cold Forest, and Northwest Jiu Jiu Cold Forest.
Within this ancient resonant sound, Zuo Ci found himself under an Evil God Manifestation that could barely withstand it. Blood flowed profusely from the seven faces of the Evil God, with pupils shining like smooth gemstones yet dimmed in color.
Such power exists! Zuo Ci marveled. The stronger it was, the more he desired it.
