第二六手相云:「若為辟除他方逆賊怨敵者,當於寶戟手。」

凡是有緣

皆視為善緣

順緣就會如雲聚集

息災息瞋

重結善緣

【祝福】

戟,是古代的兵器,本是防衛安全、討伐敵人的武器。

所謂「地方逆賊」,在古代可能是地方上的強梁賊寇;但在現代生活,可以解讀成和我們生活上比較親近的冤家,未必是強盜土匪,反而可能是強勢的同事、愛吐槽的朋友,或想法做法都和我們唱反調的親人。

正因為是「在地的」,不能視而不見、置之不理,所以一在意就格外掛心。對於這種「地方逆賊」,我們可以祈求寶戟手的祝福,祈願諸佛菩薩加持,讓這些生活上的違緣自銷融,願他們感受到我們的善意,以後怎麼看我們都順眼順心。

寶戟手也是種提醒,我們心裡也要有一把莊嚴的寶戟,但不是拿來對付別人,而是要降伏自己。因為我們真正的頭號敵人,其實是自己,自己的嗔心、傲慢、貪慾、散漫,給自己惹了多少麻煩,那筆帳只有我們自己清楚。舉起我們心中莊嚴的寶戟,降伏自己一切負面的情緒吧。

 

The halberd is an ancient weapon. It was originally used for defense and to defeat enemies.

The so-called "local rebels" may have been strong local bandits in ancient times; but in modern life, they can be interpreted as enemies who are relatively close to us in life. They may not necessarily be robbers and bandits, but may be powerful colleagues or friends who love to complain or relatives whose ideas and actions are contrary to ours.

Precisely because they are "local", we cannot turn a blind eye or ignore them, so we are particularly concerned when we pay attention to them. For this kind of "local rebel", we can pray for the blessings of the Halberd Bearer and the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so that these adverse conditions in life will disappear. May they feel our goodwill and be happy with us no matter what they look at in the future. Good luck.

The halberd bearer is also a reminder that we should also have a solemn halberd in our hearts, but not to use it against others, but to subjugate ourselves. Because our real number one enemy is actually ourselves. Only we know how much trouble our anger, arrogance, greed, and laxity have caused us. Raise the solemn halberd in our hearts and subdue all our negative emotions.
