Chapter 315: Westbound Road 43

Gao Jixing watched Dorjee take his sister-in-law and Miss Ke into a Sichuan restaurant in front, and nodded to the captain in the store, Viscount Lu knew that they had already left, Viscount Lu walked out of the store, Gao Jixing told the captain that the sister-in-law and Miss Ke were eating at a Sichuan restaurant in front, do you want to go over, Viscount Lu asked Gao Jixing to find a restaurant nearby, eat first, and then talk after eating.

After Dorjee took the two girls to dinner, Sister Ke asked Dorjee, "Brother Cowboy, it's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, can we go to visit the Jokhang Temple?" Dorjee said, of course you can, this was originally planned today, Dorjee was just about to pay for the meal, but was blocked by the little sister-in-law, and said to Dorjee very seriously, "Senior Brother Dorjee, how can you invite my sisters to dinner?" Said okay, the expenses along the way are all from us, Ke'er, hurry, pay for the meal", Dorjee was amused by the seriousness of the little sister-in-law, and said in his heart, this little sister-in-law is really more serious, after he paid for the meal, he was not looking for the captain to report the account, but think about it, or according to the set rules, it is not easy to do it, so Dorjee did not compete with Miss Ke to pay for the meal, and after Miss Ke paid for the meal, the three of them came to the Jokhang Temple.

The three of them arrived at the gate of the Jokhang Temple, Dorjee told the two girls that he went to buy tickets, and Sister Ke and Chenyaer stood at the gate of the temple waiting for Dorjee, at this time, Sister Ke saw that there were many people at the gate of the temple doing a movement on the ground, she naturally knew that those people were kowtowing, she saw that Chenyaer had to do this action on weekdays, and Chenyaer told her that kowtowing can eliminate the karma of life and life, at that time I thought it was superstition, but I didn't expect that in the snowy holy land, there are so many pious people kowtowing.

Sister Ke looked at Chenya'er again, her appearance was very calm, but her eyes looked at those people who kowtowed, and her eyes showed a look of admiration, Sister Ke didn't ask Chen'er, "Chen'er, are they really so pious?" Sister Ke saw that Chenya'er took her eyes back, and told her seriously, "Kowtow, naturally be pious", Sister Ke was unwilling, and further asked Chen'er, "Is it what else to pray in your heart when you kowtow?" Sister Ke smiled when she saw Chen'er, and then said to her, "Yes, what do you want?" What do you pray? But when you understand the impermanence of facts, what do you think is anything else in the world worth praying for? Sister Ke looked at Chen'er with confused eyes, and asked another question, "Then ..... Chen'er, don't you pray for anything when you kowtow on weekdays?" ”

"Cole, why did you only remember to ask me this question now?" Sister Ke heard Chen'er ask herself like this, "Hehe" laughed dryly, and looked at the people who were kowtowing, "Chen'er, on weekdays, I always think that you kowtow, either for exercise, or superstition, not seriously, now, seeing so many people kowtowing at the gate of the temple, it is really not simple, so I remembered to ask you this question."

Sister Ke listened to Chen'er say, "From the natural aspect, the way of heaven is a big Zhoutian, and the human body is a small Zhoutian, after we are born, we are eroded by various temptations, and the small Zhoutian of the human body is closed by itself, but through cultivation, people can get through their own small Zhoutian, when they open up the small Zhoutian, people can become one with the natural Great Zhoutian, if it is a 'Taoist', that is, you can get the 'Tao',' Buddhists', you will be free from the six realms of reincarnation, liberated, and kowtowing is one of the best ways to open up the human body's small Zhoutian, so kowtowing can not only open up your own small Zhoutian, but also eliminate the karma of the past lifetimes, you say, should you be pious? When Sister Ke heard this, she thought to herself, she looks at Chenya'er kowtowing on weekdays, but she has never heard Chenya'er talk about the principle of kowtowing, it turns out that there is a theoretical basis.

"Chen'er, it looks like they kowtow, are they all praying for themselves to get the 'way' and be liberated?" Sister Ke asked another question, and she saw Chenya'er smile, "Of course, you can also pray for yourself, but if you want to achieve 'Dao' liberation, it is to serve all sentient beings, you see, the oath of Jizo Bodhisattva is that hell is not empty, and you can't become a Buddha; when we are in trouble, the first thing we think of is Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, every Bodhisattva, every Buddha is here to solve the liberation of life and death of sentient beings, you know?" Sister Ke was explained by Chenya'er, but she still didn't quite understand, but she made a request, "Chen'er, then....in the future, I will kowtow with you, is it okay?" Chenya'er looked at Sister Ke'er's serious expression, and immediately agreed to Sister Ke, "Of course you can, you should have done this a long time ago, oh, Dorjee is here, let's go", Dorjee came to the two girls with the tickets for the Jokhang Temple.

When Sister Ke was about to leave, she was stopped by Chenya'er, and she heard Chenya'er say, "Ke'er, when you go back, you must give Dorjee the ticket money for today's Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, ah", Sister Ke'er hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, you won't let Dorjee suffer, when the time comes, in addition to paying him the rental fee, give him a bonus, right, I know", Chenya'er nodded with satisfaction, and then followed Dorjee away; Sister Ke followed behind and said, alas, Chen'er is really a worrying life, but it is very suitable to be a housewife, that is, it is cheaper than Viscount Lu.

Dorjee handed the tickets for the Jokhang Temple to his sister-in-law and Miss Ke, but saw that the sister-in-law did not enter the Jokhang Temple immediately, but stood at the gate of the temple and stared at the temple. I saw Chenya'er looking around, talking to Sister Ke and Dorjee, "Enter the temple", and walked into the temple after speaking, and Sister Ke and Dorjee followed and walked into the temple.
