地水火风空 Earth Water Fire Wind Void




Above: Smaller sized incense paper printed on one side with High King Avalokitesvara Sutra and other side Usnisa Vijaya Dharanin and at the corners, the Casket seal dharani on small stupas.
The stars have 8-points and in the middle like the 8-spokes of the Dharma Chakra. Appropriate? :)

Above: Folding parts of the 5-tier stupa with incense papers printed on both sides with Usnisa Vijaya Dharani. Pure Karma printed these in colours of the 5 elements! (Replenishing stock of 5-tier stupas!)
   


Look at the above paper stupa, you see from the bottom as GM Lu said: Great earth 地大 ~ yellow, then water ~ white, then fire ~ red, then wind ~ green and void ~ blue!

作为纯净的象征,黄色方块代表地,八色圆圈代表水,红色三角形代表火,绿色半圆形或月牙代表风,融溶蓝色滴液代表空。

在呈立体状时,多层的黄色立方体、白色球体、红色锥状体、绿色半球体和融溶的漂浮滴状物分别代表 地、水、火、风、空   “五大”。

在密宗里,In tantrayana, 
黄色梵文字符“Lam”代表地,Yellow ~ Earth
白色梵文字符“Vam”代表水,White ~ Water
红色梵文字符“Ram”代表火,Red ~ Fire
绿色梵文字符“Yam”代表风,Green ~ Wind
而蓝色梵文字符“Hum”代表空。Blue ~ Void

五大成就 ~ 息增怀诛宝
5 Great Achievements ~ 
白 White - 息 Appease or purify,
黄 Yellow -  增 Enhance or increase, 
红 Red -  怀 Caring or affinity, 
蓝 Blue - 诛 Restrain or suppress (One's own non-virtue or unwholesome thoughts),
绿  Green - 宝All dharma treasures or Buddha's wisdoms.

Diligence = Know what you are doing and WHY, at all times! 


Cheers all
