扶乩，《辭?！返慕忉屖牵阂环N迷信，扶即扶架，乩指卜以問疑…… 也叫扶箕、扶鸞，與扶乩相似的迷信，世界各地都有。 據(jù)《中華道教大辭典》解釋：扶乩是古代“天人交通”術(shù)的一種，又名扶鸞。英文為Sciomancy或Planchette Writing意即箕占、篩占、乩占等。 扶乩的最早紀錄見于我國東晉時期，唐時傳入日本，由日本傳入荷蘭，再由荷蘭傳入歐美各國，在日本叫做“靈子術(shù)”，西方國家稱扶乩的板為“維吉板”，研究扶乩的組織叫“靈學會”，能夠組織扶乩和與神交流的人稱“神媒”或“靈媒”。美國前總統(tǒng)威爾遜生前篤信扶乩，有一次乩盤上寫出了許多古代希伯來文，當時在場的人都不認識；英國著名生物學家查理·達爾文的哥哥伊拉斯馬斯·達爾文堅信扶乩，經(jīng)常在自己家里組織扶乩會，達爾文曾經(jīng)參加了一次扶乩會，但中途退場了， 達爾文的好朋友、著名生物學家赫胥黎對扶乩雖然持懷疑態(tài)度，但經(jīng)常參加扶乩會，而達爾文的另一位好友、著名科學家華萊士卻是扶乩的堅決擁護者。 我國歷史上，民間扶乩多在正月15日夜里，迎請紫姑神，卜問來年農(nóng)耕、?？棥⒐γ?。唐代李商隱就有“羞逐鄉(xiāng)人賽紫姑”的詩句。宋代沈括《夢溪筆談》“近歲迎紫姑仙者極多”。宋代洪邁《夷堅志》詳細描述了扶箕的情形。詩人陸游《箕卜》詩描述了扶乩迎請紫姑神的情形。 1651年，有個云間（今上海松江）男子扶乩?！柏老伞苯蹬R后，該男子問：仙從哪里來？乩書曰：“兒家原住古錢塘，曾有詩篇號斷腸。” 該男子又問：仙是何姓氏？乩書曰：“猶傳小字在詞場?！币驗樵撃凶硬恢烙小稊嗄c集》，看見乩文有“兒家”兩字，知道“乩仙”肯定是女子，便猜測道：“仙莫非是蘇小小嗎？”乩書曰：“漫把若蘭方淑士，”該男子還是不解又問：“莫非是李清照嗎？”乩書又曰：“須知清照易貞娘，朱顏說與任君詳。”該男子這才恍然大悟，知道是朱淑真降壇，于是一問一答，“乩仙”寫成《浣溪紗》等詞后離去。因為該男子不通詩文，不知道朱淑真的詩作《斷腸集》，所以這里“乩仙”的文采，明顯高于該扶乩者，乩文由扶乩者造作的可能性幾乎為零。 曾有人扶乩，迎來呂洞賓降乩作詩云：“此間雞犬亦神仙，信是桃源別有天。覺得春風都著意，綠楊如畫柳如煙?！?似乎仙界也一樣擁有雞犬、春風、楊柳等人情風物。 在1700年前的東晉年間，扶乩就已經(jīng)進入了非常成熟的應(yīng)用階段，這樣看來，扶乩存在于我國民間，應(yīng)該有2000年的歷史了。兩千年來，扶乩的用具幾乎沒有變化，一般有專用的木制沙盤和三角形、丁字形乩架，或笸籮、篩、籮等，而降臨乩壇的角色卻隨著時代變遷，有與時俱進的特點，據(jù)上海交通大學教授江曉原考證：降臨乩 壇的一般為鬼、神、仙等角色，清末民初，“在‘同善社’降壇的有孔子、老子、釋迦牟尼、穆罕默德、耶穌、拿破侖、華盛頓、托爾斯泰等等”。人們對扶乩的真假與否，仁者見仁、智者見智，對待扶乩的態(tài)度長期莫衷一是。 1945年夏初，重慶成立了國際宗教研究會，發(fā)起人為了撰寫宣言，便組織扶乩，請濟公降臨乩壇為研究會題寫宣言，曾經(jīng)出任中國駐印度等國外交使節(jié)的盧春芳先生，親眼目睹并記錄下濟公降臨乩壇題寫的乩文. 濟公以“鍾靈毓秀”為韻，題寫了《國際宗教研究會宣言》： 01 大道之行-To bring the highest ideals of God into practice. 天下為公-The best world can be made without prejudice. 不分彼此-';This'; and ';that';, is needless to say. 無論西東-Or ';east'; and ';west';, anyway. 02 大如宇宙-As large as the whole universe. 小似魚蟲-Or as small as an insect or a fish. 形體有異-They differ only in body and size. 性靈終同-With the same soul in each. 03 俯察黃泉- To look upon the heaven above, 仰視霄沖- And down to the ground below. 萬千變化- Many a thousand changes may occur, 不離其宗- But all the same are governed by law. 04 純乎自然-This seems quite natural, 異曲同工-To sing different songs with equal skill. 生化之間-During an interval of life and death, 各秉正統(tǒng)-Every particle owns a good spirit still. 05 日月星辰-The sun, the moon and the stars are. 彌漫太空-Heavenly bodies all over the sky, 山水沙木-While mountains, waters, sands and woods were. 造化所鍾-Created by God in forms wet or dry. 06 人列三才-In between the heaven and the earth, 靈焉最聰-Human beings are the wisest of all, 領(lǐng)導群倫-To take the lead among the rest, 共樂仁風-And enjoy the Big Nature what we can all. 07 溯彼太初-From the very beginning, 萬有穆雍-A peaceful air was over all. 主宰恒存-There must be the Lord, 操縱其中-With an absolute power to control. 08 一胞所系-Such a huge system is of no border, 靜躁不同-With a content of bodies large and small; 無鉅弗包-They may be in motion or at rest, 無細弗容-That';s the only difference after all. 09 有象易見-With image, one can easily observe. 無形難窮-Lest one can';t even comprehend. 天命莫測-The ways of providence are oftentimes, 自始至終-Inscrutable from beginning to end. 10 生來何自-Where were we born from?
