THE DOORS OPENING FROM HUMAN TO UNIVERSE IN OLD UYGHUR

Abstract

Tantric Buddhism, which is one of the important fields of study of the Old Uyghur, has an esoteric structure such as magic, sexuality, and yoga and includes various rituals. While these rituals prevent the rebirth of the person, the main goal of the rituals is to purify the person and to allow him/her to reach the divine body. For this, it is necessary to clean the nine doors/orifices called orifices that exist in the body. This tradition of nine orifices is continued in the Bhagavadgītā, and the nine cavities are listed as two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, the mouth, and the two excretory organs in the male (urinary system and anus). Besides, in Kaṭha Upaniṣad texts, in addition to these nine orifices, the opening at the navel and top of the skull and the city with eleven gates are referred to. If a person is to be reborn, s/he has to be born in one of the life forms such as hell, animal, human, or god, according to the orifices s/he as chosen. This indicates the transition from one realm to another, which brings to mind black holes, wormholes, and parallel universes discussed today in the field of astrophysics. In addition to all these, due to the acceptance of humans as micro cosmologists, his/her orifices are identified with macro cosmology. This study will investigate the orifices in the human body and their connections with the planets, as well as analyze these spaces in relation with the idea of black holes, wormholes, and parallel universes.
