The Bayeux scripture（Sanskrit：Pattra） The Bayeux scripture, known as the "Buddhist Panda", originated in ancient India. The Bayeux scriptures are mostly Buddhist classics, and some are ancient Indian Sanskrit literature, which has extremely high cultural value. The Bayeux scriptures have a history of more than 2,500 years. They are written in the words "Zhai Zai" and "Wa Du", Some are written with needles. It is an important source of information on ancient Tibetan culture, language, Buddhism, and religious art.
In history, there is a Tibetan Buddhist scripture in each Buddhist temple. The proverb is called "Lintan". All the Bayeux scriptures must be kept here, and they are strictly guarded by the Buddha and the monk. No one may enter here to take away the scriptures without the permission of the temple owner. The management of Bayeux scripture is very strict. In addition to the transcripts of cotton paper copying, common sense of production and life, medicine, calendar, ethics, divination, legal, etc., can be for use by the villagers, Buddhist classics and other content of the Bayeux scriptures It is not allowed for individuals to bring out Buddhist temples and hide them in private homes. Therefore, the phenomenon that it is lost in the Buddhist temple is rare.
There are three steps in making a Bayeux scripture:
1；Take leaves: the Sanskrit scripture is made from the leaves of the Bedolo tree grown in South Asia. Cut the leaves from the Bedolo tree, trim the Bedolo leaves with a knife, and roll the three to five pieces into a roll and cook them in a pot. add sour horn or lemon to make the skin on the surface of the Bedolo leaf fall off until the Bedolo leaf turns pale green and white, then take it out of the pot, take it to the river and wash it with fine sand, then flatten the Bedolo leaf. Dry it, put it in the wind for a while, then Binding up together.
2；making the wooden box: the standard for making Bayeux scripture is two special wooden boxes, The wooden box is about one and a half feet long, about four inches wide, drill a small hole half a yard from each end of the box. The dried and flattened leaves were tightly clamped in the middle of the box, and the two ends were tied tightly with a rope, and then the string was put on. in according with five hundred to six hundred Bayes for one box. then, with a knife gently smooth the Bayeux box, with the autocratic ink line, according to writing format, gently put the ink line on the Bayeux leaf, leaving it to be written later.
3；Engraved: Bayeux scripture was originally written on the Bayeux leaf with a small knife. Because it was slow and laborious to write with a knife, it was later written with an iron scorpion. After the engraving, use the plant fruit oil to blend the black smoke at the bottom of the pot, apply it on the carved Bayeux leaf, and then wipe it with a damp cloth. The writing on the Bayeux leaf in clearly visible . after the engraved book is bound, it is coated with a layer of fine metalwork and smeared with gold powder on the periphery of the four sides, thus giving a sense of exquisiteness, simplicity, generosity, and beauty. The Bayeux made in this way is not only clear in writing, but also cannot be erased.
legend:
Xuan Zang, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, went to fetch sutras, also brought back the <Bayeux scripture> too. Because Bayeux is specially treated by boiling and other processes, so it is not only wear-resistant and light also insect-proof, waterproof, anti-deformation and durable. This is why the script of the Bayeux scripture is still clearly visible thousands of years later.
Tibet, China, is the place with the greatest number and richness of Bayeux scriptures in the world today. It has preserved the ancient scriptures of Sanskrit, such as Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Pali, and many of them are a treasure, rare and rare. If you go to Tibet, you can see it in the Tibet Museum.
