6 Pestle

Tedrup Gyatso Rinpoche is over 100 years old, with white hair and a torch-like gaze.

My heart moved, he was the white-haired monk that Ah Ruo said.

He offered a hata to Shen Xue and saluted, "O respected Bodhisattva, thank you for bringing good fortune to all beings on the snow-capped mountain. ”

Shen Xue hurriedly returned the salute, "Dear Rinpoche, we have disturbed your retreat, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

White-haired Rinpoche smiled kindly, "The Bodhisattva is serious, just now I was in meditation and received guidance from the Buddha. He told me that a bodhisattva who had been reincarnated in Han would come to my little monastery with a reincarnated immortal and a Mahayana Vajra. He looked at me and Zhao Sichen and nodded, "What the Buddha said is not necessary, three distinguished guests, thank you." ”

I clenched my fists and said, "We apologize for disturbing Rinpoche Qingxiu, but I don't know, where do you start with the word thanks?" ”

He smiled and motioned for us to sit down.

I sat down on the seat on his right, Shen Xue sat next to me, and Lao Zhao sat down on the lower hand.

As for Rinpoche, he sat on the meditation bed all the time and did not get out of bed.

This is the rule, the Dharma seat is reckless, and sentient beings are uneasy.

"Although my monastery is not big, it has a history of nearly 1,000 years," Rinpoche said slowly, "Three years ago, I was guided by the Buddha in meditation and learned that there would soon be a catastrophe here, and that someone would come and relieve the temple from danger. Now that the three distinguished guests have come, you are the prophesied people of the Buddha. ”

Old Zhao Le, "Hey, the Buddha told you a long time ago?" That looks like it's us! ”

I motioned for him to stop talking nonsense and look at Rinpoche, "You said that the Buddha predicted a catastrophe for this temple, do you know what happened?" ”

"Because of a treasure enshrined here", he looked at me.

My heart moved, and I smiled calmly, "Treasure? Is it a sword? ”

Rinpoche shook his head, "It's not a sword, it's a demon-slaying pestle made of celestial iron and gold. ”

"Demon pestle?" Lao Zhao looked at me, "It's made of heavenly iron and gold, and it's estimated to be very valuable!" ”

Rinpoche frowned and looked at Zhao in confusion, but didn't say anything.

"Did the Buddha tell you that someone was going to come and take this demon pestle?" Shen Xue asked.

Rinpoche looked at Shen Xue, his face suddenly improved a lot, and he sighed softly, "It can't be regarded as snatching, because this demon pestle was originally those people." ”

"Who?" Lao Zhao hurriedly asked.

I thought for a moment, "Master, what is the origin of this demon pestle?" Can you tell us about it? ”

Rinpoche looked at me and nodded, "According to legend, this pestle was cast by a Mahayana Bodhisattva in ancient India, and was later brought to Tibet by a Nepalese princess as a dowry. The Tibetan royal family believes in Buddhism and regards this demon pestle as a treasure for generations. Later, Tsangpurangdama destroyed the Dharma and threw the pestle into the Brahmaputra River. ”

"And then?" Shen Xue asked.

"A few years later, when the auspicious Vajra Lalong Dorjee was resting and meditating on Samadhi, a Void Mother came to meet him and gave him the demon pestle to assassinate the king of the Buddhas." He said, "So the auspicious Vajra Lalong Dorjee made this demon pestle into an arrow of a bow and arrow, and shot Langdarma with it." ”

"An arrow that can be used to make a bow and arrow, so this demon-slaying pestle should be small," I nodded, "In this way, this demon-slaying pestle can be regarded as a sacred relic of Tibetan Buddhism." ”

Rinpoche looked at me and nodded slightly.

Speaking of which, we have to tell the story of this Rhondarma.

Buddhism in Tibet is divided into two stages: the pre-propagation period and the post-propagation period. In the pre-Hong period, it is worth noting that Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty and Princess Qizun of Nepal entered Tibet successively and brought Buddhism. At this stage, Buddhism had a strong confrontation with the indigenous religion of Bon, and although it flourished for a while, it was finally destroyed by the Tibetan king Langdarma.

Langdarma is called Dama, because he destroyed the Buddha, so Buddhists believe that he is the reincarnation of the bull demon king, and the Tibetan language calls the cow Lang, so he is called Langdarma. The Tibetan king, who reigned for a short time, was later assassinated by Lalong Dorjee, and after his death his two sons split the Tibetan dynasty, but both of them went on a mad revenge against the Buddhists because of the murder of the Tibetan king. So much so that for more than 100 years after that, there was almost no Buddhist inheritance in Tibet.

This was the pre-propagation period of Tibetan Buddhism.

As for the post-propagation period, it refers to the reintroduction of Buddhism from Xikang and Weizang to Tibet after a hundred years, and the entry of Indian master Atisha and others into Tibet to promote Buddhism.

In the pre-propagation period, Bon and Buddhism were very different, but in the post-propagation period and modern times, the degree of integration of the two has been very close, and many rituals, customs and even practice methods of Tibetan Buddhism are derived from this religion. In a way, they have blended together in perfect harmony.

For example, the Buddha mentioned by this white-haired Rinpoche should not be the man-made Shakyamuni Buddha of Chinese Buddhism, but the Buddha Xinrao Miwo, the leader of the ancient Zhangxiong Buddhism.

Of course, there is no need to say this, anyway, they are all Buddhas.

"Since it's a holy relic, who is the person who came to take this demon pestle?" Lao Zhao couldn't help but ask, "It can't be the descendant of Nima, right?" ”

I looked at him, "It's not Nima, it's Langdarma." ”

"That's right! Rhondarma! Lao Zhao looked at Rinpoche, "Is it his descendant?" ”

Rinpoche ignored Lao Zhao and looked at me, "This benefactor is very intelligent and seems to know a lot about King Langdarma, so please tell your friend the origin of this Tibetan king." ”

I glanced at Lao Zhao, "Legend has it that Langdarma used to be a cow in his previous life, and he followed the monks to build temples. It rubs rocks every day, grinding its back to fester. After the temple was built, the monks were very happy and said that it was their own credit, but they forgot about the cow. The cow was so angry that he swore with tears that if he could be reincarnated as the ruler of the kingdom in the future, he would destroy the Dharma in revenge. ”

"Holy shit! So he was really reincarnated as the king of Tibet? Lao Zhao scratched the back of his head, "If this is true, then it seems that vows are still a bit useful, and cows can be kings!" Then if I make a vow in the future, will I be able to be the emperor too? ”

I laughed, "It's just a legend." ”

"This is not just a legend," Rinpoche's tone changed, "Langdarma was not an ordinary cow in his previous life, but he was indeed a demon king!" ”

Lao Zhao was stunned disdainfully, "Demon King? So how did he get shot so easily? ”

"Because of the tremendous power of the pestle, it was able to shoot him," Rinpoche's eyes were like electricity, "and when the pestle killed Langdarma, it also absorbed the demonic and magical power that he had not yet revealed. Since then, the descendants of Langdarma have searched for the pestle, hoping to use it to unleash the magic and magic of Langdarma. So Auspicious Vajra brought it here and gave it to my master. The ancestor knew that the stakes were high, so he built this temple and sealed the demon pestle in the inner palace of the temple. ”

I probably understood in my heart and nodded.

Shen Xue was calm.

Lao Zhao looked at the two of us puzzled, and shrugged his shoulders, "Then I said it right, just now I was right, the ones who want to take this demon pestle are their descendants." ”

Rinpoche looked at me and Shen Xue, "I'm too old to protect this demon-descending pestle." At this time, the Buddha sent three distinguished guests to stop them. ”

Shen Xue looked at me, "Brother Pony, what Rinpoche said should be those two women and three men." ”

I nodded, "It's supposed to be them, but they came before us, so they should have arrived here a long time ago, I'm afraid there is an article here." ”

"So, you've already met those people?" Rinpoche asked.

"I haven't seen it," I said, "but according to the guide, they came yesterday." ”

Rinpoche's face suddenly became solemn, and he looked at the waiter beside him, the middle-aged lama, "Didn't you notice? ”

"Dear Rinpoche, we are not aware of it," the middle-aged lama said respectfully.

Rinpoche looked at me and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

I smiled calmly, "Master, can you let me take a look at the demon pestle first?" ”

His brow furrowed, "Huh? ”

I didn't shy away from his questioning gaze, "To tell you the truth, we are here to find this treasure, but I am not looking for a demon pestle, but a sword." After hearing the story of this demon pestle, I suspect that the sword I am looking for may be near the demon pestle, so can you let me take a look at the demon pestle first? ”

Rinpoche's eyes became alert, "So, you're not here to help us?" ”

"I didn't come here to help you," I said frankly, "but how could I have had all the opportunities I had imagined before?" You can rest assured, since Providence has allowed us to catch up, we will not sit idly by in this matter. I just hope that the master can also make it convenient for us, let's take a look at the demon pestle first. ”

"I only have the demon pestle in this temple, and I have never heard of a sword," he stared at me, "Young man, the Buddha told me that there was a reincarnated Bodhisattva who came to help me with a reincarnated immortal and a Mahayana Vajra. He looked at Shen Xue, "I have seen the Bodhisattva, but you ......", he changed his words, "Since you are the reincarnated immortals and Mahayana Vajra, why do you have the breath of the demon world on your body?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood, Lao Zhao and I are wizards, and we both have the witch spirit fire of the three gods on our bodies, and in the eyes of this high monk, it is easy to see it as the breath of the demon world.

Shen Xue actually has it on her, but she is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, so she is almost invisible.

Lao Zhao and I looked at each other.

Shen Xue smiled calmly, "Master, please believe us. ”

"yes!" Lao Zhao said, "Just now I was still immortal and King Kong, and in a blink of an eye, I said that our brothers were demons, I said master, you can see clearly, our brothers have learned witchcraft, not demons." ”

"Witchcraft?" Rinpoche sneered, "I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I have never heard of a true believer going to learn witchcraft!" Not to mention the reincarnated immortals and Mahayana Vajra? ”

"Then we didn't say that we were immortals and King Kong, you said it yourself!" Lao Zhao was speechless, "You master, a person who is more than a hundred years old, can't you slap yourself in the face?" Our brothers have always been low-key and humble, when have you blown yourself? He pushed me, "Hey, you say, don't you?" ”

I cleared my throat and looked at Rinpoche, "Master, do you think of us as the ones who have come to take the pestle?" ”

Rinpoche looked at me coldly, "You practice the method of the Demon Path, isn't it who you are?" ”

Lao Zhao stood up with a loud voice, "Hey! Who do you say is the Devil's Way? ”

I stood up and pulled him, "How do you speak!" ”

Lao Zhao's anger didn't matter, and the three tall black shadows behind him suddenly appeared.

Rinpoche's eyes suddenly rounded, "That's them!" Arrest them! ”
