Duan Zetao originally thought that the Panchen Living Buddha must be an old monk with a white beard and a fairy wind and bones, but what he saw at this time was a child who was only in his teens, and the wide lama clothes on his body looked a little incongruous, and his face was solemn, his eyes were slightly closed, and he sat cross-legged on the big bed, which became more and more in contrast to his childish face.

In fact, Duan Zetao does not know the Tao, Tibetan Buddhism believes in the reincarnation system of the living Buddha, so the real Tibetan name of the living Buddha is "Zhu Gu", "Zhu" has the meaning of transfiguration, the ancient meaning is "body", Zhu Gu together means "incarnation", "incarnation", Tibetan Buddhism believes that the living Buddha is immortal, the dead are only the body, and the living Buddha will be reincarnated in another place, which is the most obvious feature of Tibetan Buddhism that distinguishes it from other schools of Buddhism.

It is said that the living Buddha will leave clues and hints when he passes away, and the people of the temple will find the child who matches the conditions when the living Buddha passed away according to these clues and hints, and this child is the "reincarnated spirit child", and it is said that the reincarnated spirit child will have the residual memory of the living Buddha in the previous life, and the progress of practice is particularly fast, but whether it is true or not, no one can say.

But it is undeniable that many things really cannot be fully explained by scientific principles, according to the Tibetan biography records, when searching for the reincarnation of the third Panchen Living Buddha, the clues were very slim at that time, the search was fruitless, and the people who were looking for it were already discouraged. The truth of this matter is impossible to verify because of its age.

The procedure of finding the reincarnated spirit child is very cumbersome, roughly going through six procedures, such as 1, identifying the omen 2, oracle revelation 3, observing the holy lake 4, searching for the spirit child 5, identifying the relics 6, and drawing lots in the golden vase, and the child Duan Zetao saw was the 10th Panchen Living Buddha found through these six procedures!

Sensing Duan Zetao's arrival, the Panchen Lama slowly opened his eyes and smiled brightly at him, Duan Zetao suddenly felt that the lotus flowers in the house were blooming, and he suddenly had a trace of enlightenment in his heart, and involuntarily walked towards the Panchen Lama.

"The past life and this life are all fateful, and the red dust is like a dream. Distinguished guest, I have been waiting for you for a long time. The Panchen Lama folded his hands together and recited a verse.

Duan Zetao was very surprised in his heart, the Panchen Lama's words seemed to faintly reveal the origin of his rebirth, which is also incredible! Secretly thinking that there are really such masters in this world who can see through the past and the future? But he no longer dared to regard the Panchen Lama as an ordinary child, so he hurriedly saluted respectfully and said: "Panchen Master, the boy is stupid, may I ask the master, is there really such a thing as a past life and this life in this world?" How did the master know that the Daoist boy would come to this Jokhang Temple......

The Panchen Lama smiled and said, "Everything in the world has a fixed number, and aren't you and me ready-made examples?" Why don't you believe it, just let go of the obsession in your heart, and you won't hesitate anymore! ”。

Oh, yes! Since he can be reborn and still retain the memory of his previous life, then the Panchen Lama can naturally do it, and since even such an incredible thing as rebirth can happen, it is not surprising that the Panchen Master can know that he is coming to the Jokhang Temple. Elegant? What's going on here? Duan Zetao was puzzled again.

As if he had guessed through Duan Zetao's thoughts, the Panchen Lama chuckled and said: "The noble man has gone through the past and present lives, and he is also a person with great luck, and he will be unspeakably noble in the future, so he is called 'noble', and the noble man's visit to western Tibet this time is also the great luck of western Tibet, which will bring endless blessings to the people of western Tibet!" I have thanked you here on behalf of the people of Tibet! As he spoke, he took the initiative to stand up and saluted Duan Zetao.

Duan Zetao hurriedly flashed aside, and said in fear: "How can the kid be deed? Worthy of the master's salute, the master must not kill the boy! ”。

The Panchen Master was no longer reluctant, and carefully looked at Duan Zetao and said: "Well, since the noble person is unwilling to accept my gift, I see the noble person's eyebrows are dark, when there is a villain to do it, although it does not hinder the noble person's life, but Yu Guiren has been a little uncomfortable recently, I have a string of dzi here, which is the thing I used before my reincarnation, and now I will give it to the nobleman, or it can eliminate disasters and dispel misfortunes, so that the noble person's road to Qingyun will have a little less twists and turns!" As he spoke, he took out a string of crystal clear dzi with a simple pattern from his arms and handed it to Duan Zetao.

Dzi, also known as "Heavenly Eyeball", is a rare gemstone. Dzi is a nine-eyed stone shale, containing jade and agate components, is one of the seven treasures of Tibetan secrets, and is recorded in historical books as "nine-eyed stone dzi". The Tibetans still believe that the dzi is a stone that fell from the sky. The Tibetan pronunciation of Dzi is "Siyi" (DZI), which means beauty, virtue, and wealth.

Dzi is the supreme token in the hearts of the Tibetan people, according to the number of images to distinguish its preciousness, if it reaches the nine eyes, it is called the nine eyes stone, that is quite precious. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to get rid of the pure old dzi and the quality is good, and it is not difficult to get rid of it in six figures, and there have been old dzi auctions in the foreign auction market for a high price of tens of millions.

At present, most of the dzi in circulation in the market are artificially made, and their patterns are painted with lead-containing paint, which can be bought for dozens of pieces in the octagonal street of western Tibet, but it is even more difficult to buy real dzi in Tibet, because the dzi of the Tibetan people is not sold to the outside world. In the eyes of the Tibetans, the dzi is a status symbol, and only the sacred can wear it, so the Tibetan gift of the dzi represents his great respect for you.

And the Panchen Master's string of dzi, the pattern has been eroded into the pith, the treasure light inside the circulation, look carefully you will find that the pattern of the nine eyes inside is rotating like life, in addition to the Panchen Lama carried by the past generations to touch and pray day and night, it is really a priceless treasure, although Duan Zetao does not know the goods, at a glance he also knows that it is extraordinary, extremely precious, and is about to excuse himself, the Panchen Master waved his hand and said: "I am a monk, all external things are hindering my practice, noble people do not have to care, just accept it, this is also the fate between you and me......

Duan Zetao no longer shirked, took the dzi with both hands, and carefully put it on his wrist, it was rare to meet such a master outside the world, Duan Zetao would not let go of this rare opportunity, and asked the Panchen Master for advice: "The kid often feels confused about the road ahead, and asks the master for guidance."

The Panchen Lama shook his head and smiled: "Although everything in the world has a fixed number, and then the variables of the sky must be controlled by themselves, otherwise the world will sit back and watch the fate of the manipulation, how to progress in the world, and the oracle is also obscure, the heavenly machine can not be exhausted, the noble person has great luck, as long as you act according to your heart, you are invincible, only the noble peach blossoms are too prosperous, or there are some obstacles, I have a fate with the noble, I will send the noble four-character mantra "too much", remember, remember! ”。

If Duan Zetao had realized, he was still waiting to continue to ask, and the Panchen Lama raised his index finger and stood on his lips and said: "Don't say, don't say, I have a meeting with your nobles today, because I have a relationship with your nobles, and I am also thanking you to your nobles for the people of Tibet, I have already committed the precept of lying words, which is very disadvantageous to my practice, and the nobles can leave by themselves, and they will ...... when they meet in the future", after speaking, he sat back cross-legged on the big bed, closed his eyes tightly, and no longer paid attention to Duan Zetao.

Duan Zetao didn't dare to disturb the Panchen Master anymore, he bowed respectfully, carefully exited the door and re-closed the door, Nima Cheren was still waiting respectfully outside the door, and when he saw Duan Zetao come out, he was taken aback when he saw the dzi he was wearing, but he didn't dare to ask more, but his demeanor became more and more respectful, and he kept sending Duan Zetao out of the Jokhang Temple, Fang Dongmin and Hu Tielong had already waited impatiently, and they didn't dare to break in, and they were relieved to see Duan Zetao come out safe and sound.

Out of Jokhang City, not far away is the famous Octagonal Street in Lhasam, the Octagonal Street is wide and flat, and the Tibetan houses on both sides are unevenly high, which is particularly simple. There are no high-rise buildings on the street, and under the high white walls on both sides of the street, white tents are set up, and five-colored prayer flags are displayed in the wind on the Tibetan-style houses, which seem to welcome every friend who comes here, whether you are a tourist or a passerby; The snow-capped mountains in the distance are dreamy in the afternoon sun and clouds, and it seems to show everyone who comes here the mystery and fantasy of this place.

Octagonal Street is not a street with eight corners, but a circular street, and it is also the most important passage in the hearts of the Tibetan people, and is praised as the "holy road" by the Tibetan people.

On the other side, there are many tents and shops, small merchants and vendors sell their goods to tourists, eating, wearing, playing, gifts, offerings, cosmetics, etc., all kinds of handicrafts, of course, the most is a variety of handicrafts with Tibetan characteristics, the crowd of people making the Octagonal Street seem very narrow and crowded, but the strong ethnic customs and humanistic atmosphere attract you can't help but squeeze in with the flow of people.

Duan Zetao was dizzy at the dazzling array of handicrafts with western Tibetan characteristics, and at this time he saw a shop in front of him full of all kinds of dzi, so he squeezed over curiously, picked up a few strings of dzi and looked at them, he wanted to bring a few strings back to Jiang Xiaoxue and them.

The shopkeeper of the shop is a tall Tibetan, dressed no different from ordinary Tibetans, but there is a sly look in his eyes, he saw Duan Zetao coming, immediately walked over, and worked hard to sell his dzi, Duan Zetao ignored his sales, took off the dzi on his wrist and compared it with the dzi sold in the store, and immediately found a world of difference, knowing that this was a fake, shook his head, put the fake dzi back in place and prepared to leave.

When the shop owner saw the dzi in Duan Zetao's hand, a greedy look flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed Duan Zetao and shouted, "Hey! If you don't buy it, forget it, why do you want to steal my dzi! ”。
