Lie on your right side with your legs folded and slightly bent. Place your left hand lightly on the outer side of your left thigh, straighten your right thumb, place your right thumb in the depression behind your earlobe, stick your index finger and middle finger on your left temple, stick your ring finger and little finger on your head, bend your right elbow against your chest rib, and sleep on your pillow. This position is called auspicious lying. Some people will feel numb when they sleep like this, but they can put their hands forward without pressing them under their heads. Jixiangwo can refer to the following picture:
There are two advantages of auspicious lying: first, it will not waste sleep time, but it can make full use of it and accumulate incredible merits. The other is that if we leave this world in a deep sleep, we won't fall into three evils like this. Therefore, some old practitioners in the past paid more attention to sleeping in this auspicious horizontal posture.
Master Lotus Peanut repeatedly preached in Six Shadows: "Any sentient being (not only human beings) will not fall into three evils if he is lucky when he dies, even if his karma is deep and his sin is great." This is a very important teaching! In the past, when the guru preached Yin Dharma, he once again stressed: "When we die, we'd better lie down on auspicious occasions. If we are really incapable, people around us should try their best to help. Even when yaks, hungry dogs and other animals are dying, if you put your body in an auspicious posture, you will not fall into bad taste. " It can be seen that the merits of auspicious lying are very great, and you should remember this posture every day when you sleep.
