Spraying fragrances also can be a good form of doing Armour Protection!
In book [High Monk Tales], a story of [Miao-gao Zen master is recorded:
妙高禪師至妙高臺靜坐，臺上僅容一人。
ZM Miao-gao goes up to Miao-gao platform for meditation, this platform only can accommodate one person.
師如是日日在臺上用功，收攝身心。
Master sits there daily putting in efforts and collects his body and heart essence.
某日，在靜中，竟然沉沉欲睡，一不留神，竟栽下臺去。
One day, while sitting in silence, he became drowsy, and unconsciously fell off the platform.
可是正當落至半山腰時，忽覺有人伸手捧接，並托送臺上。
But when he was about half way down the hill, suddenly someone stretched out his hands to support him and sent him back to the platform.
But when he was about half way down the hill, suddenly someone stretched out his hands to support him and sent him back to the platform.
師驚問：「汝為何人？」
The shocked master asked: [Who might you be?]
空中有聲曰：「我是護法韋馱」（韋馱乃專司護法之神）。
A voice spoke from the space : [ I am dharma protector Wei-tuo - Skanda]
(Skanda is deity specialised in dharma protection).
妙高禪師心中一喜，遂不覺興一念我慢之心，自以為能修行至韋馱菩薩都來護持，若自己這般之人，世間必不多見。
ZM Miao-gao became happy, and unconsciously gave rise to a thought of pride, thinking that he can cultivate till Skanda Boddhisattva came and support and protect too, if people like him very rare in the world.

遂又問：「像我這般行持的人，世間有幾？」
Rushed in asking: How many in this world is like me in cultivation?
韋馱答道：「像你這般的行持者，其數甚多，過於恒河沙。但因汝這一念貢高我慢心生，吾二十世不再護汝之法！」
Skanda replied : Many are like you in cultivation, as much as sands of Ganges river. But because of your one thought of high & mighty prideful self, I will not protect/support your dharma for the next 20 lifetime!
妙高聽後，心生愧悔，不覺痛哭流涕，至誠懇切，懺悔不已。
Upon hearing these, Miao-gao developed remorse, unwittingly cried with tears flowing down, sincerely felt sorry.
而後又念：「吾今雖不蒙菩薩護法，但為出離生死，縱然摔死，亦終不下此座一步。」，此後更加精勤刻勵。
Then he said: [Although now I don't get Boddhisattva's protection, but in order to leave Live & Death, even if die from falling, will never leave this platform at all.
Then he said: [Although now I don't get Boddhisattva's protection, but in order to leave Live & Death, even if die from falling, will never leave this platform at all.
Hence, he became more diligent.
後來，又因功夫未純熟，在靜中不自覺又摔落下臺，竟又被人捧接送回臺上。
Later, because his skill not mature yet, and fell from platform unknowingly again, somehow someone caught and sent him back to the platform again.
妙高驚訝之餘，又問：「接我者何人？」
Miao-gao was shocked and then asked: Who is the one that caught hold of me?
空中答道：「護法韋馱！」
Voice in space answered: Dharma protector Skanda!
師問：「菩薩不言二十世不再護我的法嗎？」
Master asked: Boddhisattva said will not protect me for the next 20 lifetime?
韋馱答：「因師一念懺悔之心，便已超越二十世矣！」
Skanda answered: Because master has one thought of repentance, that already surpassed 20 lifetimes!
這則「高僧傳」的故事，我曾在說法之中，向聽眾宣說數回，這個故事，完全強調四個字：「正念正勤。」
This story stresses : Right Thought Right Effort.
什麼是「正念」？正念就是正確的念頭，亦即時常憶念正道，不使思想行為有所偏差，這是八正道之一。
什麼是「正勤」？正勤就是正確的努力，也就是八正道的正精進，亦即努力修善斷惡也。
能具備「正念正勤」，護法神一定護持行者。
在「真佛密法」的護法方面，在密壇的護持上，我們要修「結界」。在行者自身，要修「披甲護身法」，以「披甲護身法」來守護行者的自身，不受魔擾。
「披甲護身法」細說如下：
一、先金剛合掌，雙手合十，指頭交叉，放在天心之上。
二、唸金剛薩埵真言：「嗡。波汝藍者利。」（七遍）
三、先印「天心」一下，再印「喉部」，接著「心部」，接著印「左肩」，接著印「右肩」，然後手印回天心。所謂「印」就是「觸」。
四、回天心時，手印散開。
五、手印一散開，隨即觀想密壇供奉的金剛神，或金剛薩埵，或韋馱護法尊天菩薩，手持降魔法寶，金身變化四身，一尊在行者前方，一尊在行者後方，一尊在行者左方，一尊在行者右方。
這就是「披甲護身法」的祕中祕。
「蓮生活佛」以為，一位密宗行者若失去護法神的守護，天魔必乘隙而入，所引起的後果將不堪設想。
失去護法神的原因，不外是：
沒有精進修持，太懈怠。護法神離去。
失去正念，念頭已有偏差，思念不正，行為乖離。護法神離去。
失去傳承的加持力。護法神離去。
一位真正的行者，他不會懈怠的，在收攝身心的用功上，是精進的，最少是一日一修，保持了正常的進度，因收攝身心之故，行為及念頭均非常端正，不致有所偏差。
真佛行者，修的是真佛宗的密法，護持真佛宗，如此，傳承的加持力就不會失去，正念正勤，一定有成就的。
失去傳承加持力的弟子，不必問我，但問自己：
Those that lost lineage empowerment, no need to ask me, but ask yourself:
你修的是「真佛密法」嗎？
Are you cultivating [True Buddha Tantric Dharma]?
你護持「真佛」嗎？
You protect and support [True Buddha]?
「披甲護身法」乃是召請「護法金剛」下降的密法，假如你有傳承力，有正念，有正精進，護法神一定在。
Armour protection dharma is Tantrayana's invocation of [vajra dharmapala] to descend, if you have lineage empowerment, right thought, right diligence, dharmapala will sure be present.
這「正念正勤」，正是「披甲護身法」的大口訣，失去「正念正勤」就失去護法神。
