Chapter 4: Buddha's Fate

Seeing the sunshine again, Qiangba's gaze was different when he looked at Wang Yao, and he seemed to have a lot of complicated emotions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Is that the south over there?" Wang Yao asked, looking at the vast plain below the mountain.

Qiang Balen paused for a moment and pointed to the boundless snow-capped mountains over there, "That's the south over there." ”

"I'm going over there. Wang Yao clenched the dzi in his hand.

"It's too dangerous, it's a mountain forest over there, and there are a lot of fierce beasts in it. Qiangba shook his head and said, "And the living Buddha didn't say the specific location. ”

"He said if there was a fate, I would find it. Wang Yao chuckled softly.

Qiangba frowned, "Do you believe this?"

"I don't believe it. Wang Yao narrowed slightly, "But I have to go and see, walk along the river, it should be fine." ”

"At this time, once you encounter wind and rain, it is very fatal, don't look at the clear sky now, the snow on the plateau, never say hello. Qiangba frowned and said, "Principal Xu, let me bring you back in its entirety." ”

Wang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Let's go to the Jokhang Temple to have a look." ”

Qiangba turned his head to look at the cave temple and nodded.

After getting off the Potala Palace, in the small town below, Wang Yao also spent a hundred yuan to buy a Tibetan knife in very good condition.

Dorjee did not follow the Potala Palace, but he followed him into the Jokhang Temple.

Compared with the splendor of the Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple shows more of a heaviness.

It may be because it is the peak season of pilgrimage, the Jokhang Temple is crowded with people inside and outside, all of them are pilgrims, and there is a gilded mandala on the square of the main hall, which is ready to be built for the new Buddha.

There are two supreme living Buddhas in Tibet, one of whom lives in the Potala Palace, and one of whom lives in the Jokhang Temple.

Tibetan Buddhism is a reincarnation system, so every living Buddha will give an oracle to ask the monks to find the spirit child.

At the beginning, Tibetan Buddhism gained a foothold in Tubo with Princess Wencheng, because it was customary to wear black hats, and the reincarnation system also known as the 'Black Sect' was also derived from the 'Black Sect'.

Later, there was also a Tibetan Buddhism called the 'Yellow Sect' because of its yellow hat, and the Yellow Sect also inherited the reincarnation model, but it was two centuries later than the Black Sect, but it came from behind because it became a religious leader.

Later, due to some external reasons, two reincarnation systems, 'secular' and 'religious', appeared, and there was a distinction between a Dharma Master and a Venerable Master.

But the Master and the Venerable Master are reincarnated brothers, and there is no distinction between high and low.

In religion, the status of the Master is slightly higher, but in the world, the Venerable Master is more important.

Therefore, the two living Buddhas live separately in the Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple.

Wang Yao followed Dorjee through the monastery, listening to the conversation of the monks in their monastery, as if asking where the Master was, and finally found the Master Master in the Eight Medicine Master Buddha Hall.

Compared with the contemporary Venerable Master, Master Mage is thinner, his face is a little old, and his face is full of sadness, but his smile is very intimate, and the first time he saw Wang Yao, Master Master stood up from the futon, and after careful inspection, Wang Yao smiled and nodded at him.

Master Master doesn't speak Chinese, but he can understand it.

Dorjee was one of the disciples of the Venerable Master, and explained to the Venerable Master Wang Yao's intention.

"The Venerable Master is telling stories in the south?" the Venerable Master asked.

Wang Yao nodded.

Master Master was silent for a moment, and turned his head to look at the Eight Medicine Master Buddha statues, "That's in the south." ”

Wang Yao pursed the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Since you're here, you happen to be in time to open the altar, so let's go and worship. The mage said to Wang Yao.

Wang Yao was stunned, nodded and followed the master out of the Eight Medicine Master Buddha Hall, and went around to a Buddha hall behind the main hall, this Buddha hall did not light the Buddha lamp, it looked dark from the outside, and there were two rows of iron cages in the courtyard, and the cages were full of Tibetan mastiffs of various colors.

Tibetan mastiff this kind of dog, Wang Yao has seen a lot along the way, but most of them are overnight mastiffs, but I have not seen them so closely, I have seen the legend of this dog in the book, the first time I saw it, it is indeed very powerful and different from ordinary dog breeds.

Each of these Tibetan mastiffs has fluffy hair, very handsome, entrenched in the cage and does not get up, looking really like a lion, because of the relationship between the hair, the eyes can not be seen clearly, but from the huge body can be seen, this kind of dog should be a little fierce.

But the strange thing is that this dog doesn't bark when it sees people, doesn't get up, doesn't even look at you, as if it's asleep.

There is a sentence in "The Language of the Beast" that says that dogs that bite people don't roar, and dogs that roar don't bite.

Wang Yao followed Dorjee and Qiangba to stand outside the corridor, watching Master Master enter the Buddha hall with a few monks, the door of the store opened, and it was also pitch black inside, but soon a giant beast sprang out, which scared Wang Yao.

It was a Tibetan mastiff with golden hair like the sun, and it was silent when it pounced, but the hair trembled with its huge body, and it looked majestic.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is huge, Wang Yao visually measured that this Tibetan mastiff is at least one meter tall and nearly one meter eight meters long, with fluffy hair all over his body, and he is as golden as the sun.

Wang Yao had never seen a lion, but at this level, he could indeed be called a giant beast.

The golden Tibetan mastiff spun around the Master and lay at the door, and the Master and the monk entered the Buddha hall and soon brought out a cabinet made of pure gold.

The golden Tibetan mastiff roared at the mage, and Wang Yao's expression froze.

He understands the language of beasts, and the Tibetan mastiff is actually telling the mage, is it really a refinement?

Then the golden Tibetan mastiff returned to the Buddha hall, and the door of the temple was not closed.

"That's Dambanima. When following the gold cabinet carried by the monk towards the front gate of the Jokhang Temple, Dorjee smiled and said to Wang Yao, "It means the Buddhist sun, and it is the mount of the living Buddha." ”

Wang Yao nodded: "It's indeed the same as the sun." ”

The monks carried the gold cabinet to the gate, outside which had been maintained by other monks, and the pilgrims were waiting in a long line, looking solemn and longing, and the excitement and joy on their faces were beyond words.

Wang Yao saw in the faces of those villagers a kind of piety and fanaticism that could not be seen in modern people.

The golden cabinet stands at the door, and the monks and living Buddhas turn the prayer wheel and chant the Buddha's sounds.

It was also a Buddha voice, and the Venerable Master sang something completely different from that of the Venerable Master today, but Wang Yao couldn't tell what was wrong.

As soon as the Buddha sounded, the entire square knelt down, silently, only Wang Yao stood alone in place, and no one looked at him, because everyone closed their eyes and prayed sincerely.

Wang Yao felt like he was being isolated from another world.

Ten minutes later, Master Master Master got up and opened the golden cabinet, and Wang Yao finally knew what was inside, the golden life-size statue of Shakyamuni at the age of 12.

There are only three of them in the world.

At the age of 12, the gilded bronze statue of Shakyamuni as the prince was the most exquisite and noble. The Buddha statue later flowed into China from ancient India, and was brought to Tibet by Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, and the 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni was enshrined in the Jokhang Temple to this day.

Just as the sun was shining in the west, Wang Yao really saw that this golden body seemed to exude colorful Buddha light, and the monks were wearing purple and red robes, chanting with a pious face, and the atmosphere was serious and solemn, like a miracle.

Wang Yao felt something in his heart and walked towards the Buddha statue, when a Tibetan at the front of the queue noticed Wang Yao's actions, his eyes widened, and he stared at Wang Yao with a hideous expression, but he didn't dare to make a sound, but he wanted to stop him.

The Master stood beside the Buddha statue, with a mountain of white Hada in front of him, and a Kaifeng mandala in front of the Buddha statue, beckoning to Wang Yao.

Wang Yao walked to the Buddha statue, looked at the solemn statue of Sakyamuni, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, closed his eyes and prayed, and finally prostrate on the ground, his palm facing up, and his left palm had a jade pendant that shimmered in the sun with a warm luster, with four words on it.

'Virtue and Art Shuangxin'

"If the Buddha really exists, please let me find the "Four Medical Classics", do not ask my godmother to be cured without medicine, but I hope to bless my godmother with no pain and no disease, if the Buddha responds to me, I will make a pious pilgrimage in the coming year. Wang Yao prayed silently in his heart, and then threw the jade pendant in his hand into the mandala.

The jade pendant fell into the mandala with a crisp sound, and then under the stunned gaze of Wang Yao and the monks, a bead rolled out of the mandala and rolled down in front of Wang Yao.

Wang Yao looked up at the mage in astonishment.

I saw the Venerable Master smiling, offering Hada to Wang Yao with both hands, and said in Tibetan, "The Buddha gave it to you." ”

Wang Yao picked up the ball, bowed to the Buddha in ecstasy, and got up to give way to the pilgrims behind him.

At this time, Wang Yao noticed that the eyes of the group of Tibetans who thought he had collided with the Buddha just now became friendly.

"You seem to really have a relationship with the Buddha. Dorjee looked at Wang Yao with strange eyes and said.

Wang Yao held the beads in his hand that were gradually warming, and chuckled silently. (To be continued.) )
