Introduction to Yoga Yankou

Yoga is an Indian language, which means corresponding, that is, hand knot seal, mouth recite truth, focus on thinking, body mouth corresponding, so it is called yoga. Yankou is a kind of hungry ghost in the Buddhist scriptures, also known as "mianran". Its appearance is thin, its throat is thin like a needle, and its mouth spits fire.

According to the records of Yankou hungry ghost Scripture, Ananda used to be in the forest in the past. He saw Guanyin Bodhisattva suffer. The ghost king was haggard, ugly, with scattered hair, sharp claws, big belly, narrow throat, and fire on his face. Ananda was scared to ask why. The ghost King told him that he was greedy and stingy in his previous life, so he fell into the hungry ghost road after death. He became a figure and suffered for many years Suffering. The father of the hungry ghost said that Ananda's life should be exhausted three days later and he would fall into the ghost of starvation. Ananda was so surprised that he came to the Buddha and begged for help. The Buddha made a speech about the Yankou Sutra and the method of giving food for him. If all living beings could give food to the hungry ghosts and immortals in Henghe sand, they would not fall into this way, instead, they would prolong their life and benefit, and the ghosts and gods would often come to support them.

In addition to relieving the hungry ghosts from hunger and emptiness, the most important thing in the Dharma Assembly is to say, convert and receive precepts for them, so that they can have a full view, no longer create sin and suffering, and get rid of suffering as soon as possible to achieve Bodhi.
