Excuse me, where is the master's five-color line? What color is that? Can you make your own five-color line? Thanks in advance.

The making method of auspicious and wishful mascot "five-color line".

In ancient China, five colors were worshipped, which were auspicious colors. In China, in order to avoid disasters and keep children alive, parents put five-color ribbons on their children two days before and after Halloween, that is, Tomb-Sweeping Day, and hung them on their chests to ward off evil spirits. As soon as Halloween was over, they took them off and threw them at the crossroads to send away the disaster.

On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, the first important thing for adults after getting up is to tie five-color lines on their wrists, ankles and necks. Children are not allowed to talk when tying the thread.

The five-color line cannot be broken or discarded at will, and can only be thrown into the river when it rains heavily in summer or takes a shower for the first time. It is said that children wearing five-color thread can avoid the harm of snakes and scorpions; Throwing it into the river is to let the river wash away plagues and diseases and make children safe and healthy.

These customs were formed in the old times when the infant mortality rate was extremely high, and they were passive precautions against death. In the process of children's early socialization, parents intentionally or unintentionally implanted their own expectations, and customs became children's silent teachers. As for the five-color line, there are always different opinions about which one to use.

According to China's traditional theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the colors of five-color lines should be red, yellow, green (cyan), black and white.

Interestingly, in the Buddhist classic "Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Avalokitesvara Mahayana Sutra", there is a fascinating passage about the method of making five-color lines introduced by Avalokitesvara, which is recorded below for everyone's appreciation: Avalokitesvara said to Brahma: "Read this mantra (mercy mantra) five times. Take the five-color line as the cable. The spell was tied in twenty-one knots twenty-one times. Those buddhas are pedestrians. "

The making method of Guanyin Bodhisattva is as follows: recite the Great Mercy Mantra for five times, take out the five-color line, recite the Great Mercy Mantra for 2 1 times, and then tie the 2 1 knot on the five-color line to form a coil. The five-color line is made successfully and can be tied around the neck.

According to my experience, jade or other ornaments can be tied to the five-color line and worn together, which is both beautiful and not easy to attract criticism. ) As can be seen from the above, the hand-made five-color line introduced by Guanyin Bodhisattva is different from the folk-made five-color line in the following ways:

1, with a wide range of production targets: not only children, but also men, women and children;

2. Extensive production time: not only Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival, but any time of the year;

3, the wearing position is targeted: that is, it is specifically worn to the neck of the person, rather than some folks wearing it to the wrist and ankle of the person;

4, long wearing time: you can wear it for a long time according to your own needs, not the short-term wearing behavior of the people; 5. Great functional benefits: Because the great compassion mantra is "said by the 9.9 billion Ganges Shafo in the past". The five-color line made in this way is actually blessed by the Buddha (mantra), which contains all the good expectations of the people and can also "satisfy those who are not satisfied with the six-degree practice."

People without bodhicitta will soon let their hearts die. ... those who can't prove the result will be asked to prove it quickly. Without the root of Mahayana, the bud of Mahayana seed will grow. ..."。 Are you interested in making five-color lines for your children, family and friends by hand according to the method of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so as to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and then pray for happiness?

You don't need to spend money, you just need a little sincerity and time, learn to recite the great compassion mantra, find out all the five-color lines, and the Buddha will bless you, which will be of infinite benefit to both people and yourself and will benefit you all your life. Why not?
