Chapter 588 Zhuyu is ahead
Chen Weizheng had a bad premonition, he walked down this circle, a little bit of a feeling of saying goodbye one by one, he never came to these places again since then, and there were still some ominous signs, and he couldn't say it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info.
filled the last ring with pebbles and gave it to Hua Zheng, which was a wedding gift from Chen Weizheng to Hua Zheng. The gold and raw copper in the storage belt were poured into the fingers, and the pebbles full of a belt were also filled, which was prepared for Zhang Zhengping, Chen Weizheng didn't know why, he was particularly relieved of Zhang Zhengping, maybe Zhang Zhengping had a kind of trust and dependence on himself from the time of chaos, and he also had a kind of regenerative virtue for Zhang Zhengping.
To process the screen into a jade clay pot, Chen Weizheng prepared seven or eight, and then poked out the hoops containing the spirit body, and several sets of books on cultivation were also reprinted, all of which were concentrated in a small storage bag, and all of these things were handed over to Zhang Zhengping.
After preparing everything properly, he saw that Xian Hua had prepared a gift for his brother and sister-in-law, and set off for the New Qin Kingdom.
Bhutan, Sikkim, two small countries sandwiched between China and the New Song Dynasty, live quite comfortably, Sikkim Buddhism every year just from China, almsgiving has made them eat without worry, but the population has decreased dramatically, the old monks are getting old one by one, and there are no young people to take over, and it is estimated that in a few decades, they will die out naturally.
The Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked country located on the southern slopes of the eastern Himalayas between China and India. The name of the country is called "Zhu Yu" (or "Zhu Yu" in the local language), which means the land of thunder and dragons, so it is also called: the country of dragons, the country of forests, the country of flowers, and the kingdom of clouds. Bhutan was the last country in the world to open up television and the internet. Although Bhutan's economy is quite backward, in the "Global Ranking of Happy Countries" released in 26, Bhutan ranked 8th and ranked first in Asia.
Bhutan's hydropower is an important part of its economy, with 70% of the electricity produced by hydropower being sold to the New Song Dynasty. Tourism is another important economic pillar of Bhutan, and Tibetan Buddhism (Kagyu sect) is the state religion of Bhutan. English and Nepali were previously spoken, but now all Chinese are spoken.
In the sky above the Kingdom of Bhutan, Chen Weizheng said to Xianhua: "Our country below is a very desirable country, although they are not rich, but it is a kind of comfort and satisfaction, over the years, we have been reluctant to disturb their lives, lest we destroy this pure land, sometimes wonder, is their attitude to life and happiness satisfied really express the purpose and purpose of the Buddha, or from this small country, will expand a culture, a concept, a spirit of peace and happiness." ”
When you fly from east to west from the southern slopes of the Himalayas, the mysterious country of Bhutan in a primeval forest on the southern slopes of the Himalayas is in front of you. Bhutan seems to hang on the edge of the Himalayas, with its fresh and beautiful natural environment, long-standing traditional culture, and simple and simple people.
For the Bhutanese people, religion does not have a sense of sacredness, but is integrated into daily life. Here, the monastery is more like a school with a religious background, where the young lamas sit on the floor, read and chant sutras, and during recess, they rush out of the classroom laughingly and chasing after each other like the bright teenagers we are familiar with. It was a natural amalgamation that ignored the religion itself and was purely a way of life for the Bhutanese people.
Bhutan is almost the only underdeveloped country among the top countries in the world in terms of gross national happiness. What makes this small country in the Himalayan valley enjoy such a high happiness index. In Bhutanese director Dzongsar Rinpoche's "World Cup on the Mountains", the words spoken by the abbot at the end of the film may be the answer to the riddle. "If difficulties can be solved, then why be unhappy? What's the use of being unhappy if the difficulties can't be solved? ”
As the locals have been influenced by Buddhist teachings for a long time, the idea of generosity and non-conflict has long infiltrated the lives of the locals, and both the royal family and the common people have an open mind and a gentle smile. Perhaps Carina Lau chose to get married here because of that down-to-earth mood and pure love.
Moving to the streets of Thimphu, Bhutanese people appear on the screen, Bhutanese women wear ankle-length "Kira skirts", the colors are gorgeous, the ankle-length skirt design reflects a different kind of softness, and the precipitation of joy soaks into the heart, gorgeous but not vulgar. The men wore traditional robes called "wraps" on their upper bodies, with snow-white neat cuffs, knee-length skirts and stockings. The fat sleeves and a wide belt tie the clothes are not only comfortable, but also atmospheric, showing their open mind. The happiness of the Bhutanese people is inseparable from their laid-back attitude towards life, which is vividly reflected in the clothing of the Bhutanese people.

Due to the long-term influence of Buddhist teachings, the idea of generosity and non-conflict with the world has long infiltrated the lives of the locals. Locks and keys are almost useless in Bhutan, where there is good social security, a very low crime rate and people rarely lock their doors when they go out. Bhutan's dense forests and many fierce beasts such as black bears and snow leopards are indispensable for local men to carry daggers in their arms. Moreover, everyone from the king's ministers to the common people were masters of archery, and some high-ranking Bhutanese officials even wore long swords with them when they went to work.
Chen Weizheng said softly, either for Xian Hua or for himself, he didn't expect that Xian Hua was already crazy, and her mind had already left her finger and entered the outside world. It is long overdue to go here, to look up at the Himalayas, to listen to the endless chanting, to feel the silence of the world. Touching the taste of happiness and experiencing the real Bhutan may really change the definition of happiness......
"Dad!" Xian Hua, who came back to his senses, said to Chen Weizheng: "I want to live in this place for a while, okay?" ”
"It's completely possible, but our Xinming Kingdom has not established diplomatic relations with him, and China has not established diplomatic relations with him, at present, only your Uncle Song has a good relationship with them, if you want to go, you have to go to the New Song Kingdom to get a visa for a third country." Chen Weizheng said.
"Why don't they establish diplomatic relations with us and China?" Xianhua asked.
"These are all historical issues, and China's treatment of Tibetan areas is different from their understanding of Tibetan culture, such as sky burial, such as human skin drums, such as kowtowing, such as turning scriptures, such as reincarnation, all of which are inconsistent with Marxism. In the past, China's leaders always wanted to impose their will on the minds of others, and of course a country with thousands of years of culture would not succumb, and it was only slightly better in recent years. Chen Weizheng said: "We in the New Ming Kingdom once carried out a large-scale expulsion of monks, for which as many as one million monks died, and this kind of country with a Buddhist background has an opinion about us, and we are demons in front of them." ”
"Are they right, or are we right?" "Things in the world are not so simple to use right or wrong to generalize, we have spent more than ten years to create the world's largest group, established eight new countries, and each has its own advantages." In terms of people's living standards, we are more than a star and a half stronger than Bhutan. Chen Weizheng said: "However, what people pursue is not this, they are pursuing spiritual peace and calm, or they do not pursue it at all, but just regard themselves as an organic part of nature, like a grass at the foot of the Himalayas, which grows and withers forever." ”
"Dad, it seems that you yearn for this kind of life too!" Xianhua smiled.
"I not only aspire to, but also want to build a happy country with a highly developed economy." Chen Weizheng said.
"Which countries are the happiest in the world right now?" Xianhua asked.
"Top nine. 1st place: Denmark, 2nd place: Switzerland, 3rd place: Austria, 4th place: Iceland, 5th place: Bahamas, 6th place: Finland, 7th place: Sweden, 8th place: Bhutan, 9th place: Brunei. Chen Weizheng said.
"They are all small countries, with a population of no more than 10 million." Semiva quickly discovered the similarities between these countries.
"Hehe, it's better to have fewer people for the New Year." Chen Weizheng said: "A country like China, if you want to have a sense of happiness, not only to get rich, you need to accumulate a lot of wealth, but also to reduce the proportion of population and land, listen to your eighteenth grandfather, they said in the fifties and sixties of the last century, although the country was very poor, but there was a sense of happiness, and later, there was no sense of happiness, even if Chen Village was rich later, what he felt was rich rather than happy, and wealth and happiness were really two different concepts. In our countries, it is estimated that the easiest to squeeze into the happiness ranking should be Xinheguo, they have few people, and they are not poor in materials, and the most important thing is the inculcation of the idea of happiness. ”
"Dad, I know, happiness is not necessarily wealth, but more about an attitude towards life." Xianhua said.
"You can't generalize about everything, daughter, there is a sentence you remember, money is not everything, no money is everything, these happy countries, only Bhutan is an underdeveloped country, the others are not particularly rich, but at least not bad money." Chen Weizheng said: "So in this, Bhutan stands out even more, and it shows the extraordinaryness of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism." There's a lot of knowledge here! ”
While chatting, the father and daughter passed through Sikkim, Nepal, entered the Kunlun Pass, and turned into Tajikistan, only to find that if it was heaven just now, then this is hell.
