Chapter 847: The Visitor (II)
At noon the next day, Shen Mo waited in the front hall for Noyandara's arrival, but saw a young girl with him.
Rao is silent for these years, his heart has been like water, and he has already passed the age of knowing lust and Mu Shaoai, but when he saw this girl, he couldn't help but light up. I saw that she was dressed as a Mongolian noblewoman, with braided hair hanging down, red wrapping lovely, brocade dress with long sleeves, and the collar was not ......", the green robe was inlaid with water red edges, and the dark ribbon around her waist was knotted with apricot yellow tassels, embellished with a crystal glittering emerald gemstone, and the emerald bracelet of the wrist was as gorgeous as the autumn waves, and it was as gorgeous and amazing as Luo Shen out of the water!
Shen Mo looked at the woman, and the woman was also looking at Shen Mo, but seeing that he was no more than in his early thirties, he was thin, not too tall, and he was only wearing a wide-sleeved Songjiang Yuanqing cotton cloth, but standing there, that kind of bearing, that kind of demeanor, was beyond the reach of any son in the world with brocade clothes and jade. She has always felt that her father is a dashing and charming man, but when she sees the person in front of her, she feels incomparable.
It's not the difference in appearance, but the temperament, the kind of gentle and elegant temperament that makes people feel kind, which makes people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.
Maybe it's not the first time they've met, but a figure deep in her heart emerges, and gradually completely coincides with the person in front of her...... Except for the beard, it turned out to be exactly the same.
Shen Mo This is the first time I have seen a woman who dares to look at her, and she can't help but blush, and quickly retracts her gaze. Snorting but smelling a strange fragrance that resembles Lan Feilan and seems to be *non*, he can't help but secretly think: "The wasteland on the edge of the grassland has such an outstanding beauty" But after all, his concentration is extraordinary, and he will not lose his temper like this, and soon moved his gaze to Noyan Dara's face, seeing that the two of them are quite similar in appearance, he smiled: "This is the son-in-law of the Jinong family?" ”
"It's the little girl Unachu." Noyan Dara said: "Unachu, hurry up and meet Inspector Shen of the Ming Dynasty." ”
The girl saluted as she had said, and blessed Shen Mo.
"No courtesy, no courtesy" smiled silently: "I heard that Jinong only has one Zhong Jin Beiji, I don't know what it has to do with this?" ”
"It's the same person," Noyandara explained with a smile, "Jong Kim is her title, and the Gentiles are in turmoil, and they don't enter the ears of the Governor." ”
"Since it's a virtuous niece, I'm going to give a meeting gift." Shen Mo said and touched his sleeve, found it empty, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "But I was not prepared, so I had to wait for next time." I also felt that I couldn't say it, so I coughed lightly, "Yes" Unachu, and said, "If you like anything, just say it, my uncle will bring it to you." "I don't know how to say this kind of Meng Lang's words, which is really against my nature.
"Really?" Zhong Jin Beiji Unachu did not have the shyness of a Han woman, and blinked his bright eyes and said, "You can do anything?" ”
"Of course ......", silence is not good, but there is no way to change it.
Then I want to ......, and only Unachu's green index finger supported his pointed jaw and said, "Musket, is it okay?" ”
"Girl's", the corners of Noyandara's mouth twitched, and stopped: "Don't dance with knives and guns all day long." ”
"But I don't like the Han women's rouge gouache, the golden hairpin ayaluo." Unachu pouted with a pink little mouth and said, "If you don't give it, forget it, I didn't take the initiative to ask for it." ”
"............" Noyan Dara glanced at Shen Mo worriedly, and whispered to her daughter: "Don't be willful, the daughter of Han Di will not be like you." ”
"Okay, okay", he smiled silently: "You have to do what you promised to do, otherwise there will be no prestige behind your legs." ”
Listening to him keep saying that he was an elder, Unachu glanced at him and was silent, "I didn't speak."
"Don't keep your guests waiting." Shen Mo took the big in the guard's hand and said, "Let's go." So he took the two of them out of Xingyuan and went to the Yellow Temple where Sonam Gyatso was stationed in Xi.
Although the temple of Sonam Gyatso in Xi was built in a few months, it was built with great care, and it also reflected the strong national strength of the Ming Empire. The high red walls and the magnificent gate are painted with all kinds of mysterious religious patterns, and the sound of Sanskrit comes from the temple, which makes people feel solemn.
The three of them followed the leading lama to the apse of the Living Buddha's visitor, which was "only separated by a wall" from the place where he lived on a daily basis. As soon as you enter the door, you will see that there are more than 100 small bronze Buddhas enshrined in the Buddha gold on the walls on both sides, with different forms and full of mysterious atmosphere. Further inside is the large hall, the Dharma seat of the living Buddha is placed on a high place, and a crimson extra-long Tibetan carpet is spread directly from under the Dharma seat to the entrance of the main hall.
At this moment, Sonam Gyatso, dressed in a yellow robe and holding a rosary, was standing at the door with a smile and smiling at the three Tanyue together. The three elder lamas beside him bowed their heads, held Hada in both hands, and chanted auspicious greetings in their mouths. He smiled silently and bowed his hands to accept it as a sign of respect and gratitude, "......, this is very in line with the etiquette of Tibetan rules, and it is very useful for the three senior lamas who consciously condescend.
Noyandala and Unachu did the same, took Hada and put it around their necks, and then straightened up with Shen Mo.
After the three lamas stepped back, they silently introduced Sonam Gyatso and Noyan Dara to each other, and the two Mongolian and Tibetan nobles saluted each other again, and then entered the main hall together.
After entering the hall, Sonam Gyatso led the crowd to recite auspicious words and scatter blessings. Silent in the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, on behalf of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, added the third living Buddha Jin Ruyi, gold cane, treasure ornaments, gold silk long waist straw and silk and other precious items; Noyan Dara also presented a five-spice burner, a pot lid, and a bowl with the pattern of the Seven Warriors......,... Silent gifts for purchases. Sonam Gyatso returned gifts such as Buddha statues and Buddha treasures to the Ming Emperor, and added robes and other gifts to Noyan Dala, and in a peaceful atmosphere, the guest of honor sat and the monks served butter tea.
Sonam Gyatso smiled at Noyan Dara and said, "It is really gratifying to see the descendants of Xue Chan Khan again today. ”
"Xue Chan Khan ......" Noyan Dara was slightly stunned, only to remember that it was the honorific title of the Yuan Shizu Emperor Kublai Khan, and then recalled that the history books said that Kublai Khan named Lama Ba Si Pa as the national teacher and made Lamaism the state religion, and couldn't help but say solemnly: "Could it be that the living Buddha is the descendant of Ba Sipa." ”
Sonam Gyatso smiled and said, "Yes yes, no yes and no. ”
"What does that mean?" Noyandara wondered.
"We are all disciples of the Buddha and reincarnate penances only for the sake of purifying sentient beings," said Sonam Gyatso, the Treasure Chamber, solemnly, "You can see me as the reincarnation of Phags-pa, or you can say, "We have nothing to do with each other." ”
"You are not the reincarnation of the Buddha?" Noyandala was taken aback.
"The name of the living Buddha" is really a fallacy. Sonam Gyatso said lightly: "My Tibetan Buddhism is called Zhu Bigu for people who have attained spiritual attainment and can be reincarnated according to their own wishes." The meaning of the word is "reincarnation, or incarnation." After a pause, he said: "As for the living Buddha, the title is the custom of the people of the Han region, which may be related to the fact that His Majesty the Yongle Emperor named the King of the Kagyu School at that time as the "Buddha of the Great Benevolence of the Western Heavens." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "Don't be surprised, I don't mean to offend, but this kind of title and title doesn't make sense in my Buddhist teachings............ The Buddha is Shakyamuni, and we, the believers, dare to trespass. ”
What is a Buddha? A beautiful voice sounded, but it was Unachu who asked.
Jong Kim, don't talk too much. "Noyan Dara fears that Sonam Gyatso will not like it.
"It doesn't matter, all beings are equal in front of the Buddha." Sonam Gyatso smiled and said, "The question of Nu Tanyue is very good, only by knowing what a Buddha is, can we understand the essence of Buddhism. I saw him twisting the rosary lightly, and at the same time said with a holy face: "Buddha, it is the Buddha, but it not only refers to my Buddhist patriarch, Shakyamuni" but also refers to all the wise and enlightened people. This is because "Buddha is just a generic term for an enlightened being." Just as the Han people say that they can "preach, teach, and solve doubts, human beings, teachers...... There is more than one teacher, everyone can be a teacher, and there can be teachers everywhere. In the same way, Buddha does not refer to Shakyamuni alone, everyone can become a Buddha, there can be a Buddha everywhere, and people "naturally become Buddhas" in the Buddha. Therefore, the Buddha is nature, and nature is thousands of thousands, including huā, grass, trees, people, ghosts, birds and beasts, even if it is a demon, "as long as you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha." ”
"So what are the benefits of becoming a Buddha?" Unachhu asked.
"If you become a Buddha, you will have access to the whole world." Sonam Gyatso twisted a bead of oil from the golden bowl, and under the reflection of the light, the bead of oil flowed dazzlingly on his fingers, shining brightly: "You have obtained all the Dharma Realm and Void Realm" This is what the Buddhas have taught us. Why do you get? That's what you already have. Seeing that there was some confusion in the eyes of the two, he explained: "It's like you were originally a wealthy nobleman, but you were separated from your parents at birth, "trapped in poverty and miserable", and you don't know that you have such a big family business. Now there is someone who knows your home, knows the situation of your home, guides you, and brings you home, and you will be very surprised, because my home is like this, and I am so rich. Buddha is the one who brings you home. ”
"So how do you find your home?" Noyandara asked, "Or how to become a Buddha?" ”
"How can it be so easy to become a Buddha", Sonam Gyatso gently flicked the oil beads into the charcoal basin in front of him, and suddenly burst out a brilliant and colorful fire, and said with a smile: "No matter how talented anyone is, it is impossible to become a Buddha in a lifetime..." But our life in this world is too short to learn anything. To be honest, you can't learn a scripture. Because there is not enough life, there is not enough time. So while studying, we have to practice, we have to go to Elysium, change our body, and continue to study. ”
"Why do you want to practice there, because it's a place with all kinds of wonders. The first benefit is Amitayus! You have an immeasurable lifespan. With an immeasurable lifespan, then of course you will succeed in your lifetime, and sooner or later you will be able to attain the Buddha realm. Sonam Gyatso looked at Shen Mo and seemed to be listening carefully, but his eyes were clear, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and continued to say to the father and daughter: "Not only is it immeasurable, but it will also be rich." Even if he no longer continues to practice, Shakyamuni Buddha said that the Western Elysium is also called the glass world. What is glass? The jade that we people in the world talk about. The earth there is jade, and the roads are paved with gold, and the houses where they live are made of the Seven Treasures, what are the Seven Treasures? Gold and silver, glass, clams, agate. What you want, what you want to eat, you just need to move your thoughts, and the things you want in your life are already on the table. After eating, don't want it, it's gone right away, don't wash the dishes, don't put away the dishes, it's gone. Returning to emptiness is called great freedom. ”
"There are also immeasurable appearances, and there are thirty-two noble appearances of our people in this world, and three of them are among them. But the Buddha tells us in the scriptures that the people of the Western Elysium are immeasurably good. Even if we have the best and richest appearance in this world, if we want to stand with the person who has passed away under the Western Elysium, he is like a beggar, he cannot be compared! Nothing is unsatisfactory. This is the benefit of chanting the Buddha, the benefit of passing away! ”
"This ......, is this true?" Unachhu was incredulous.
"Really, not at all. In my life, I have seen more than a dozen of them, standing and sitting, and I have heard of them, but I don't know how many. Sonam Jiabo nodded solemnly, that expression made you not believe it.
"I've heard that the Buddha doesn't lie?" Unachu asked with a wink.
"There are many ways for a Buddha to transform sentient beings, and there is no need to speak falsely to save sentient beings. Good nonsense, the Buddha does not fight. It's the same with us cultivators, once in our lives, we lied once, and no one believed his words. Sonam Gyatso nodded and said, "So I vowed not to lie for the rest of my life." ”
"Then in your last life, you didn't lie anymore?" Unachu looked at him wistfully.
"Don't fight." Sonam Gyatso nodded.
"What about the next life?"
"We're the same people." Sonam Gyatso said.
"Well, I have also read the scriptures and know that the scriptures tell us that ordinary people do not lie in the third life, and their tongues can lick the tip of their noses." Unachu laughed slyly like a little fox who had stolen a chicken: "If you can lick the tip of your nose, I will believe it." ”! ~!
