Chapter 795: Jokhang Temple

"He's lying! This Guru, he deceived us into buying things and then threatened to hurt people with a knife, I can swear in the name of the Living Buddha, what I said is true. ”

The hawker didn't know that Song Yu, who was smart in ice and snow, also had a lot of knowledge of the Tibetan language during this time, and basically understood his slander, seeing that Zhengji had no time to deal with them, he angrily pointed at the stall owner and retorted, the stall owner was obviously pulling the banner and doing small things, and risking himself and others in the name of nationality and religion in an unrighteous place, no matter what, once it involves religion, if it is not properly handled, it will be very troublesome. She immediately retorted.

"Guru, don't listen to her nonsense! If that's the case, how can we all be so miserable, but they are all intact", before Lama Gegu could speak, a hint of urgency flashed in the peddler's eyes, and he hurriedly interrupted, and at the same time scanned the crowd around him threateningly who wanted to testify for Zhengji and others, and looked at the tourists coldly.

His trick is very effective, just had a grievance and wanted to speak up for political discipline, all paused, most of the people present were tourists from other places, if they offended these local snakes, who knows what kind of revenge will be incurred later.

Everyone has a sense of justice in their hearts, but most people's sense of justice will choose the latter when they encounter a conflict of interest that is closely related to them.

"This snow mastiff is yours?" However, Lama Gegu's attention had been on the white lion under Masaki for some time, and there was a hint of surprise and sacredness in his eyes, the extremely rare snow mastiff was sacred in the hearts of every believer, and this one was even more rare.

"Yes, Master, it's their dog, this beast was about to bite us just now, and we subdued it!" Before Zhengji could answer, the vendor on the side hurriedly grabbed the words and said, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

As soon as the words fell, two angry shouts sounded in the middle of it, but it was another older lama in a red monk's robe who walked out, seeing this scene, he and Lama Gegu invariably angrily rebuked, the snow mastiff is a symbol of holiness in their hearts, but it is said to be a beast, and it is made to live and die, so how can the two not be angry.

The peddler looked at the two of them dumbfounded, but he didn't know that he had slapped the horse's hooves, and looked at the two monks with an ignorant expression, not knowing where he had made the two angry.

And around, more and more people are gathered around, and it is human nature to join in the fun, even here.

"Senior Brother Tsering, you're here too," Lama Gegu greeted the monk as he clasped his hands together.

"Well, I heard the movement outside," the red-robed monk nodded in return, and then his eyes swept over Masaki and the vendors and the white lion on the ground, and suddenly his eyes shook slightly, and the Buddha beads between Masaki's wrists attracted his attention.

"Is this .......?" the red-robed monk Tsering stopped talking, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, blocking the path of the transitors, Gegulma frowned and said to Zhengji and the stall owner, "You go back to the Jokhang Temple with me and explain the matter clearly." ”

After Lama Gegu finished speaking, he walked forward along the turning path, and he did not follow these two people at all.

And Tsering Lama, who hesitated slightly, stepped forward and said to Zhengji: "Let's go, we will give you a fair way to deal with it, and we also have a way to cure this snow mastiff."

Zhengji's face was expressionless, he stood up, and in the exclamations of everyone, he picked up the white lion with one hand, carried it on his shoulder, and strode into the Jokhang Temple, and Song Yu also followed closely behind Zhengji, she was not surprised by the strength of Zhengji, maybe it was because he was not strange, there were too many miracles on his body, compared with those, this was just a pediatric in front of him.

There was a gasp behind him, you know, this Tibetan mastiff, just looking at the huge size, I am afraid that it will weigh five or six hundred pounds, and Zhengji, but it is like holding a bag of cotton, easily picked up with one hand, how much strength does it take!

A few green skins who broke their wrists before, seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, they really hit the hard stubble this time, just the strength of this hand, I am afraid that they can break their bones and rot.

And Tsering Lama, who originally wanted to help Zhengji, also flashed a look of horror in his eyes at this moment, and his gaze was a little more different.

The most famous Buddhist building in Tibet should be the Potala Palace, that is when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet to build a palace for the princess, when the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo married the Nepalese ruler princess and the Tang Dynasty Princess Wencheng, the two princesses respectively brought the statue of Sakyamuni 8 years old, and the statue of Sakyamuni Kousui, as well as a large number of Buddhist scriptures, Songtsen Gampo converted to Buddhism under the influence of the two princesses, and built today's Jokhang Temple and Jokhang Temple.

Originally, Zhengji wanted to visit the Potala Palace first, but he didn't expect to be tossed by the vendor, and he actually went to the Jokhang Temple first, and Gu also waived dozens of yuan of ticket money.

The Tibetan people have "Jokhang Temple first." Later, there was the city of Lhasa", and the Jokhang Temple has a central position in Lhasa City. And not just geographically. It is also at the level of social life.

For the Jokhang Temple, there are also many beautiful legends, and it is said that when the Jokhang Temple was built, it was flooded several times. Princess Wencheng explained that the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a supine Rakshasa woman, so Princess Wencheng said that the Jokhang Temple must be filled with lakes to build a temple. Calm the witch's heart first. Then Princess Wencheng also recommended twelve other small monasteries in remote areas at the same time to suppress the witch's limbs and each other. joints, a total of thirteen monasteries.

According to the location chosen by Princess Wencheng, the temple must first be filled in the lake. At that time, the main means of transport was to rely on goats carrying bags of sand and dirt. And so the lake was filled. The foundation was laid for the Jokhang Temple, and today's Lhasa is derived from the Jokhang Temple.

Around the Jokhang Temple, the center of the Buddha Buddha Hall is called "Nangkuo", around the Jokhang Temple outer wall is called "Barkor", the street radiating outside the Jokhang Temple is called "Barkhor Street", that is, the octagonal street where Zhengji and others shop, with the Jokhang Temple as the center, the Potala Palace, Yaowang Mountain, and Xiaozhao Temple are included in a large circle called "Lin Kuo", which is the three ring types from the inside to the outside, which is the route of the Tibetan people to perform the prayer ceremony

Zhengji saw that in the Jokhang Temple column, there were many pious Tibetans who kowtowed clockwise around the Jokhang Temple, reciting the six-character mantra, holding their hands together and raising their heads high, taking a step forward. Keep your hands together and move them to your forehead and take another step. Continue to move your hands together to your chest and take the third step. When your knees are on the ground, you should lie on the ground, stretch your palms down and your hands straight forward, and touch the ground with your forehead. After getting up, the cycle repeats.

These devout Tibetans. Wear protective gear on your hands and knees. The face is full of wind and frost, and the wind and dust are served. When the body is prostrate on the ground, the palm of the palm is forward, there is a rustling sound, relying on strong faith, measuring the land with the body, three steps and one bow, slowly detouring, even if it is just clockwise around the Jokhang Temple, these people are the Tibetan believers that Zhengji came to Lhasa to see on the road.

Tibetan believers from far away traveled through mountains and rivers along the way. It may take years to reach the holy place in your heart. When they want to wade into the river, they will also cross the river by the river bank for a distance of the width of the river.

And next to the Jokhang Temple, there is also a group of Tibetans who kowtow in place, although they do not need to walk. But everyone thinks that it takes at least 10,000 prostrations to express piety

The Tibetans who saw the turning of the prayer had already poured into the Jokhang Temple. Lama Gegu beckoned to Zhengji, and from a small gate next to the main entrance of the Jokhang Temple, he took the lead in entering the Jokhang Temple.

Zhengji is also very calm, and people with a clear conscience naturally have no scruples, and they haven't done anything bad. Although it was the first to move. But Buddhism also preaches punishing evil and promoting good, presumably these lamas will not do anything to themselves, seeing that Zhengji came with Lama Gegu, the lama who guarded the door folded his hands at Zhengji, smiled, and let him in.

"This is where Geshe was born, well. "Geshe" is the meaning of the PhD among you Han Chinese. ”
