Kaohsiung hurriedly asked: "Where is the apprenticeship ceremony held?" Can you go and have a look?" Mr. Feng was a little embarrassed, but Kaohsiung was his important upstream businessman in Thailand after all, so he had to say that he could ask, but he didn't have much friendship, so he might not be able to do it. I saw that he was so embarrassed, so I said that I had done business with Mr. Bai, or I would ask first, if not, Mr. Feng, you will come forward again, and he hurriedly agreed.

I called Mr. Bai at the table and told me about the celebrity apprenticeship that Mr. Feng talked about. Mr. Bai agreed very cheerfully: "You can participate, but Master is too famous now, and people are looking for him every day, so there are places for the Fa, and the apprenticeship ceremony the day after tomorrow normally charges an entrance fee, 5,000 yuan per person, but we have cooperated, so we will not charge your money." "I hurriedly asked if I could bring two more friends, Mr. Bai said that I could only bring one at most, not two, the quota was very tight, and many people with heads and faces in Beijing could not necessarily squeeze in if they paid money. I thought to myself that I can't give a shameless face, two places will cost 10,000 yuan, my face is already big enough, don't inch in.

After hanging up the phone, I told everyone the specific situation, and Mr. Feng said, "Now these living Buddhas from Tibet are so big, and they even charge tickets for holding a ceremony, 5,001, good guys!" I snorted and said that Loma Rinpoche was full of Northeast accents, I don't think he came from Tibet, at most he came from Xifeng County, Liaoning.

Luo Li and Xiao Feng were very disappointed and seemed to want to go. Kaohsiung waved his hand: "It's okay, give up the quota to Luo Li." "I hurriedly said how bad that is, you originally proposed to see the excitement first, and now give her your place, I'm so embarrassed.

Kaohsiung glared at me: "Which ear did you hear me say that you want to give her my quota? It's your quota!" I opened my mouth wide, they all laughed, Luo Li said forget it, or you and Brother Gao go, I went to watch a lively scene, unlike you two are righteous and honest card merchants, it is also useful to see the world. Seeing that Luo Li was so understanding, I didn't say much, and then Mr. Bai sent me a text message, and the ceremony was held at a certain address in Qianhai at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow.

After listening to the address I read out, Mr. Feng said: "I am too familiar with that alley, just west of the Silver Ingot Bridge, all of them are complete courtyard houses, each worth more than one or two hundred million. "It turns out that this time there is no villa, but a courtyard, which is much more convenient for me and Kaohsiung, the distance is close, and we don't have to run as far as the last time to go outside the Fifth Ring Road.

After dinner, I used the store's computer to search the Internet, and there was really a lot of news and developments about Loma Rinpoche, mainly because he had a great background, and many celebrities and celebrities had a close personal relationship with him. Recently, a famous singer in Beijing has worshipped him as a teacher and offered him a generous gift to show his filial piety to Buddhism. I laughed secretly in my heart, this male singer was very popular five or six years ago, and two songs were sung all over the country, but now it is out of breath, and there is no news, where can it be called "famous". Now this apprenticeship ceremony, maybe it's still self-hype.

The next day, Kaohsiung and I took a taxi to Yinding Bridge, asked the master who pulled the human-powered tourist car, and walked inside, this alley is very quiet, you can see the end at a glance from the beginning, only a few cars are parked sporadically, and they are all relatively ordinary, not a luxury car. Standing at the door, Kaohsiung looked up at the small iron plate with the address number nailed to the door frame and asked me, "Is it here?"

"It should be that, that's what Mr. Bai wrote in the text message. I replied, there was a knocker on the door, I knew it was for knocking, and before I could make a move, Kaohsiung couldn't wait, and reached out and took the knocker and smashed it several times.

A small door more than half a foot square was opened, revealing the round face of a middle-aged man, with a very bright shaved head, especially like a Peking Opera actor singing blackheads. The man looked at the two of us and asked, "What are you doing?" in a typical Beijing accent, and his tone was very impulsive. I said that Mr. Bai Hua asked us to come to the induction ceremony of the Living Buddha Loma Rinpoche, and this man closed the small door, slowly opened the door, and let us both in. As we went inside, the bald middle-aged man still looked at us with an unfriendly gaze, as if we were not here for the ceremony, but to beg for food. Kaohsiung was not polite, and glared back at him fiercely. This person was even more angry, and was about to say something, when I heard someone call me: "Boss Tian." ”

At first glance, it was Mr. Bai, and when the bald middle-aged man saw Mr. Bai calling me boss, he seemed to have changed a little, and his expression was not so dragging. This courtyard is inconspicuous from the outside, but the courtyard is really big, there is an octagonal well in the center, and the dragon and phoenix patterns are carved on it, which is antique. Dozens of people stood in the courtyard, chatting in twos and threes, Mr. Bai beckoned me to come over, I introduced Kaohsiung to him, saying that he was a Buddhist card merchant who was very well-connected in Thailand, and I also got a lot of goods from him.

"I'm too busy today, you two can just take your own time, you can take pictures, the ceremony will end soon, there is no lunch today. Mr. Bai said. I nodded again and again and let him go about his business. After walking around the yard twice with Kaohsiung, I saw the thin lady again, not chatting with anyone, but standing near the small door leading to the backyard in the corner, constantly pressing the button of her mobile phone, probably texting. I went over to say hello, and when she saw that it was me, she was a little stunned, smiled, said a few words casually, and continued to lower her hair message. I think she smiled very reluctantly, as if she was squeezed out, thinking that people didn't treat me as a friend at all, so I didn't have to be close.

Kaohsiung had already entered the main hall, and I followed in, and I saw Loma Rinpoche sitting in the Taishi chair on the right side of the mahogany table in the center of the living room, with the left side empty, and the singer was next to him, smiling and talking to Loma Rinpoche. There are quite a few people next to me who are also participating in the chat, and some are taking pictures with their cameras. I also took out my phone and took a few photos of the singer and Loma Rinpoche. Looking for them one by one in the crowd, I hope to find out other celebrities I know, not to mention really finding two, one is the male host of the central eight sets, who hosted a science column, I still loved to watch it at the time, and the other should be a female writer of an emotional column who is very popular on the blog, often sent to Tibet and Qinghai's travel notes and different emotional experiences every time, but it is always ridiculed as a young woman in literature and art who likes to dedicate herself along the Sichuan-Tibet line.

Of course, I also took pictures quietly, anyway, not only was I taking pictures, but the other party was also talking to people, so I didn't have the time to talk to me. There was music playing in the living room, probably chanting the Tibetan scriptures, which I had heard on TV before. Approaching Loma Rinpoche, I heard him say to the singer, "Many people don't know that they have the ability to become enlightened, and when they know it's too late, or they don't know until they die, that's the greatest sorrow." ”
