Lushan Curse for Suppressing Evil Spirits
This incantation belongs to the Lushan tradition. Therefore, the deities invoked include Guanyin, Pu'an, and Patriarch Bodhi, reflecting the syncretic nature of Lushan beliefs. This method is used for infants vomiting milk and crying at midnight, primarily to suppress earth-related evil spirits, as well as other types of malevolent forces. The language used is rich in esoteric terminology.
Suppression of evil spirits (Shousha) and calming of fright (Shoujing) must be distinguished. Generally, 'encountering evil spirits' refers to offending the Five Directions' evil spirits, while 'being frightened' refers to being startled. The symptoms differ, and they should not be confused.
