Searching for the Lotus-Born Master (Ⅱ)

Tang dynasty records tell how people in Oddiyana recited Mantra. This surprised Tang dynasty monk Xuanzang, because at that time, Mantra was seldom used among Buddhists in China. Mantra actually has Hindu origins. One of our expeditions traveled in India to try to understand the science of Mantra. It was discovered that Mantra is a vibrational frequency. Since the Lotus-Born Master came from Oddiyana, we can understand how Mantra become such an important part of Tibetan Buddhism.

唐朝记录了乌仗那国人是如何念诵密咒的。这让唐朝的玄奘法师感到惊讶，因为那时中国的佛教徒很少使用密咒。实际上咒语源自印度教。我们其中一支探险队去了印度，试图理解蕴藏在咒语中的科学。经发现，咒语其实是一种震动频率。因为莲花生大士来自乌仗那国，我们可以理解为何密咒会成为藏传佛教的一个重要部分。

There is a science to the use of Mantra. If we understand it in terms of physics, sound is energy. And according to the mass energy formula introduced by Einstein, we are all made of energy. Because sound is also energy, our energy mass will be affected by the vibrational frequency of sound. Sound can have many effects on bodies and substances, from changing the mood of elements. The right sound can benefit us, even can heal the body.

使用咒语有一门科学。如果我们从物理学的角度来理解，声音就是能量。根据爱因斯坦提出的质能关系公式，我们都是由能量构成的。因为声音也是能量，所以我们的质能会受到声音振动频率的影响。声音通过改变元素的状态，会对我们的身体及物质造成多种影响。相应地，声音也可以使我们在情绪上受益，甚至治疗我们的身体。
