Chapter 546: Inexplicably Respected
Chapter 546 is inexplicably respected
…… Originally, it was supposed to be full of tourists, and believers gathered in the Shwedagon Pagoda, which was strangely quiet at the moment, and around Liu Dong, with him as the center, a circle was full of monks wearing yellow monks' robes, their eyes were lowered, and their expressions were pious and meditating cross-legged!
Although Liu Dong didn't count them, it seems that there are four or five hundred! And everyone meditates facing Liu Dong!
This strange scene really surprised Liu Dong!
And just a few seconds after Liu Dong opened his eyes, an old monk sitting opposite him with white hair and two snow-white eyebrows that had naturally fallen to his cheekbones opened his eyes!
Seeing these eyes, Liu Dong's body suddenly shook, because in these eyes, Liu Dong saw unprecedented quietness and wisdom! Quiet as a newborn baby, wise as a saint in the world!
"Are you awake?"
To Liu Dong's surprise, the other party actually used very pure Chinese.
"Master!" Liu Dong folded his hands and saluted respectfully to the other party, because he didn't know what Burmese called Buddhists, so Liu Dong only had to come according to his own habits, fortunately this old monk could understand Chinese.
After also folding his hands to return the salute to Liu Dong, the old monk took off a string of 12 Bodhi bracelets on his wrists. Then he put it on Liu Dong's left hand!
Then respectfully saluted Liu Dong with his hands folded, and when he saluted Liu Dong, the hundreds of monks around him also saluted Liu Dong respectfully.
And in the face of this scene, Liu Dong's mind was a little bent, it seemed that he had never met these Burmese monks, why were they so respectful to themselves! It can even be said to be pious!
Seeing his eyes is like seeing that Buddhist patriarch!
"Welcome to the Amitabha Buddha of the West, the Buddha of the East, and the Buddhas of the Ten Directions. Great mercy. Great wish. Great walk, great compassion, great wisdom, great wisdom, solving all kinds of sufferings in the world, my Buddha Shakya is a practitioner in the world! ”
In this sentence, the old monk used Burmese, but fortunately, it was because he had long considered that he was going to participate in the Burmese public market. He had already taught himself Burmese, otherwise he really wouldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
But it was precisely because he understood that Liu Dong really became surprised. It seems that these people think of themselves as the reincarnation of the Buddha Shakyamuni! Although Liu Dong wanted to tell them that he couldn't fight with the Buddha Shakyamuni, Liu Dong really didn't know how to speak!
However, when these people bowed, Liu Dong could clearly feel from them that there were streams of yellow smooth relics of different shades that were submerged in the mustard seed space, which made Liu Dong a little surprised!
After hundreds of monks bowed to Liu Dong, they first handed over the bracelet to Liu Dong's old monk, and an old monk on the left hand side, who was also seventy or eighty, took off a string of prayer beads from his neck. stepped forward and hung it on Liu Dong's neck.
"Nan no Amitabha!" As soon as he returned the salute to this old monk, the surrounding monks worshiped him again.
Then at the beginning, an old monk on the right side of the old monk with his eyebrows hanging down. put a vajra with a length of about 20 centimeters into Liu Dong's hand.
"Master, this is too precious, I can't ask for it!" Looking at the gorgeous vajra in his hand, which was covered in gold, inlaid with red sapphires, and embossed with Bodhisattva, King Kong, and lotus flowers, thrones and other patterns, Liu Dong hurriedly said.
In the face of Liu Dong's resignation, the old monk shook his head, and after bowing respectfully to him with his palms folded, he retreated to his original position!
"Nan no Amitabha!"
After bowing to Liu Dong again, an old monk stepped forward again and handed over a string of twenty-four phoenix-eyed Bodhi beads to Liu Dong.
Immediately afterwards, after each bow to Liu Dong, a monk handed over a thing to Liu Dong, although Liu Dong wanted to refuse, but looking at their pious appearance, he didn't know how to speak, and so many monks surrounded him, Liu Dong couldn't get out, so he could only let it go.
And after a period of time, Liu Dong also guessed the meaning of these monks, they regarded themselves as the reincarnation of the Buddha, so they wanted to dedicate a Buddha treasure to the Buddha to show their piety!
This may seem incredible at home, but it is normal in Myanmar, where Buddhism is the state religion of Myanmar. There are more than 20,000 monasteries and more than 10 stupas in this country! And the domestic religious consciousness is very strong, in the streets and alleys of Myanmar, you can see monks wearing robes and holding black umbrellas anytime and anywhere, there are more than 100,000 monks in the country, there are more than 20,000 monks in Yangon and Mandalay alone, one in an average of 300 people is a monk, every man in the Buddhists must become a monk once he reaches a certain age, and the society recognizes him as an adult, and only after returning to the world can he enjoy the right to marry, the age of ordination is generally around 10 years old, and the ordination procedure is very simple. Therefore, there is a saying in Myanmar that it is easy to become a monk, and it is easy to become a monk.
Monks are generally revered in Burma. Every day at dawn, they go out to make a fortune, and people are very happy to give alms, and some are afraid that the charity will not be timely and thoughtful; There are also people who make the rice early and come to the door to wait for the monks to come to the house, and some people are even responsible for the meals of several monks all year round. In the countryside, when people see a monk (especially a mage), they have to kneel on the spot, and when the monk goes out to take a car or boat, the people next to him will automatically get up and give up their seats!
Moreover, devout believers donate a large amount of wealth to the temple every year, and even many people would rather be destitute themselves and sacrifice the only wealth they have to the temple, under such conditions, all the monasteries in Myanmar still restored a large number of golden Buddha statues and stupas after the Japanese army's crazy looting!
Like these believers, they regarded Liu Dong as the reincarnation of the Buddha, and they did not hesitate to offer all the most precious items on their bodies to Liu Dong.
In just half an hour, Liu Dong's body has been hung with a variety of prayer beads and beads of different numbers, at least hundreds, and in the end, after not being able to put it down, he had to be placed in front of Liu Dong, and in addition to these prayer beads, there are also vajra made of gold, bells, Southern Buddhism Vinaya, Sutra and Treatise on the Golden Sutras, as well as jade Buddha statues, red sandalwood Buddha statues and other types of Buddha statues.
With all the things combined, there are at least four or five hundred!
Looking around a qiē. Liu Dong was happy and a little nervous at the same time. So many things are all for yourself. What the hell are these monks up to!
However, Liu Dong, who was already on the ship, could only continue step by step!
"Since you think I'm the reincarnation of the Buddha, then I'm not welcome!" Liu Dong's heart moved, and the hundreds of Buddhist items that had been placed on him and around him disappeared in front of the monks' eyes like a dream bubble.
This incredible scene immediately made hundreds of monks look straight in the eyes, and even a few old monks who had a calm face were full of shock! They have been practicing Buddhism for many years, but this is the first time they have encountered such a situation.
However, after it was quickly reflected, the old monk at the beginning was excited to chant the Buddha's name, and actually began to bow three times and bow nine times to Liu Dongxing! And the surrounding monks are also close behind!
Moment. Liu Dong felt that the yellow aura received in the mustard seed space suddenly increased several times, but unfortunately, even if there was more, the relics did not break through again, and the mustard seed space still maintained a length, width and height of 400 meters.
After they finished kneeling and bowing, they looked at Liu Dong with more pious eyes, as if they really saw the Buddha come into the world!
And as the old monk Shoumei greeted, four middle-aged monks immediately came to the periphery, and one of the middle-aged monks walked up to Liu Dong with a golden flower double-wheel twelve-ring tin staff in his hand and handed it to him!
Looking at the height in front of me, it is 2.2 meters high. Cast in gold throughout, it's lined with twigs. The twelve monks of Yuanjue are engraved on it, holding the Dharma bell and standing on the lotus platform, all of them are simple and cute; The lower end is decorated with vines, clouds and flowers. The head is inlaid with jadeite and ruby sapphire, the jadeite is not big, but it has reached the level of glass imperial green, the ruby is also the top pigeon's blood red, the sapphire is the top star sapphire in Myanmar, and the weight of each piece is more than 10 carats! At the top of the tin rod is a large purple diamond, and Liu Dong estimates that it should be about 25 carats!
The Times once reported that a diamond weighing about 5 carats had a deep purplish red color. When you put it under the lamp, it turns crimson. Experts estimate that the purple diamond has a market value of at least £14 million.
And at this moment, the purple diamond of this Zen staff is 25 carats, so its price may be hundreds of millions!
It was precisely because of these thoughts that Liu Dong was amazed in his heart and took over this supreme magic weapon in Buddhism.
Just after Liu Dong took the tin staff, a middle-aged monk next to him walked to Liu Dong with a tray for placing monk's robes, and an old monk stepped forward and picked up the monk's robe and prepared to put it on for Liu Dong! took so many things from other people, although Liu Dong was not very willing, but he did not object, let the old monk take off his coat, and then put on this monk's robe that looked extraordinary.
But when the remaining middle-aged monks came over with a knife, and when the old monk Shoumei stepped forward, Liu Dong couldn't hold back anymore!
"Master, you misunderstood, I don't want to shave, let alone become a monk!" Liu Dong hurriedly said.
After listening to him, the old monk Shoumei frowned and said: "The Buddha envoy is the reincarnation of the world-honored person, and he should be a monk in my Dajin Temple, educate the world, and make everyone's heart release to me!" ”
"No, no......!" Liu Dong shook his head again and again and refused. He still has a beautiful wife and concubine at home, and a good youth, how can he become a monk! Maybe when he is seventy or eighty, he may think about it, but of course it is only for thinking about it!
Liu Dong's resolute attitude surprised the monks around him, in their opinion, being able to become a monk in the Dajin Temple is a supreme honor, and no man will refuse!
Of course, this also has to do with the environment in which they grew up.
But Liu Dong is obviously different from them!
No matter what the old monk said next, Liu Dong just shook his head vigorously, but the 2.2-meter-high golden tin rod, Liu Dong grabbed it in his hand and had no intention of handing it over, this thing is too valuable! And the top workmanship and the hidden value of the body, so that this tin cane, which is not long in the world, is worthy of the top Buddhist treasure, Liu Dong hopes that he can collect it!
Although Liu Dong felt a little guilty about taking so many things from other people, he was unwilling to give up Liu Dong if he wanted him, and he didn't want to become a monk!
Liu Dong is unwilling to become a monk in Dajin Temple, and the old monk Shoumei can't help it, in his heart Liu Dong is equivalent to the reincarnation of the Buddha, how can he be disrespectful to the Buddha as a disciple!
However, when Liu Dong came out of the Shwedagon Pagoda, he was still accompanied by two tall monks, the two of them were the monks who guarded the temple transferred by the old monk Shoumei, Ba Song and Angji, who practiced traditional Burmese boxing in the temple since childhood, and both had the strength of the middle stage of dark energy, and they were also the Buddha attendants of the old monk Shoumei to Liu Dong! There were more, but Liu Dong resigned!
"Brother Dong!"
"Xiaodong!"
When Liu Dong walked out of the east gate of Dajin Temple, Ma Chao and Mu Gang, who were waiting outside, hurriedly greeted him! However, Liu Dong's monk's robe and Gaza surprised them deeply!
"Let's talk about it later!" After giving a command, Liu Dong turned around and saluted the many monks of the Dajin Temple who had sent him out of the door, folded his hands and bowed respectfully, and then took Ba Song and Angji to say goodbye and leave.
"Brother Dong, why are those monks so respectful to you?" After getting in the car, Ma Chao couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe they think I have a relationship with the Buddha!" Liu Dong didn't want to say much about this matter.
"That's right, Ma Chao! What time is it? With the experience of the last time in the Wuxin Zen Academy, Liu Dong was afraid of missing the Jade Plate, so he hurriedly asked.
"Number 11!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief, the start time of the public market was the 12th, and it was finally not too late!
"Xiaodong, who are the two monks who were with you just now?" Mu Gang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pointed to the other lane that followed behind.
"One of them is called Ba Song, and the other is called Angji, and they are the warrior monks of Dagwedagon Temple......!"
Hearing this, Mu Gang's eyes lit up, he liked to deal with people who practiced martial arts the most!
In the car, Ma Chao also told Liu Dong about the incident three days ago, including the glow of the Dawedagon Temple, which had different opinions, and the later matter of the monks driving away tourists, and even because Liu Dong was inside, Mu Gang was reluctant to leave, and he also fought with the monks of the Dajin Temple.
"No wonder the old monk Shoumei is so sure that I am the reincarnation of the Buddha, it turns out that it caused such a big disturbance in the first place!" Liu Dong stroked his forehead, feeling that the mustard seed space had long been restored to normal, dripping and spinning, exuding a faint yellow brilliance of the Buddha relics, and thought to himself in his heart.
