Chapter Eighty-Six: Kailash Divine Stick
Just when Luoyang was shocked and lost his mind, the herdsman, whose hands were stained with sheep's blood, opened the curtain with his arms and walked into the felt tent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luoyang's gaze at the moment seemed to be caught in a painting, so it seemed close to piety.
"Do you also believe in Buddhism?" Seeing his reaction, the herdsman asked casually, and he did not feel angry because he opened the Buddhist shrine without authorization, and he was a very open-minded person.
"No, I don't believe in Buddhism." Luoyang said honestly, he is an atheist, even after seeing Luoshen again, he still has not wavered, Luoshen is just a higher life form, but then he thought of one more thing, maybe gods and Buddhas also exist, not idealists' fantasies, maybe like Luoshen, they are all more advanced life forms, or simply the cultivation of awakened people, so he added, "But if the Buddha exists, I will worship the Buddha." ”
If the gods and Buddhas really exist, no matter what form they take, they far surpass him in terms of life level and understanding of the principles of the universe, and they should be in awe.
This kind of reverence is the reverence of the ignorant for the truth represented by the knowing, and it is not terrible for people to be ignorant and weak, but it is terrible to be ignorant and fearless.
When our ancestors looked up at the starry sky for the first time, they were filled with awe of the universe and endlessly explored the truth in it, giving birth to wisdom and civilization.
Bugs, on the other hand, will not have this kind of awe, so bugs that were born earlier than humans are still bugs.
Ignorant and fearless people are not much different from bugs.
The herdsmen didn't quite understand the meaning of the word 'respect' in Luoyang, but they had a good impression of him, and smiled plainly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
He walked to the corner of the felt tent, found an iron pot with a broken ear and threaded with iron wire from the pile of tools, and said to Luoyang: "I have slaughtered the sheep, find a pot to stew, you haven't eaten for a few days, and eating roasted food is not good for your health." ”
Luoyang was touched by the simplicity and kindness of the herdsmen, although he paid the money, it was just a transaction, but the herdsmen showed kindness in small places, but money could not buy it.
Human beings are a complex race, and human nature is also extremely complex, with its ugly side and its beautiful side, but in general, the good part is far more than the ugly part, and it is because of this that human beings can experience the test of war, disease, natural disasters and all kinds of suffering, and still thrive and develop. Luoyang found that he still had a good impression of humans, and although he was no longer human and was ostracized by human society, he never had the idea of destroying humans or becoming enemies of humans.
Maybe it's because he used to be a part of the human race, and he has a little bit of old love in it.
After a brief reflection on human nature, Luoyang followed behind the herdsmen and walked out of the felt tent.
Taking advantage of the herdsmen's time to clean the iron pot by the lake, Luoyang asked about the thangka, "There is a picture frame in the shrine, that is the thangka, right?" ”
"Well, you know our Tibetan culture very well." The herdsmen washed the iron pot, changed the place, scooped up half a pot of water, and set it up on the simple stone stove next to the felt tent.
Dried cow dung was burned, and the fire soon burst into flames.
"Which Bodhisattva is it?" Luoyang has a limited understanding of Buddhism, only knowing that Tantric Buddhism worships the Dharmakaya Buddha of Shakyamuni Buddha, that is, the Great Day Nyorai, the Great Day Nyorai he recognizes, the flame and the lotus platform are its symbols, and the Thangkari is obviously not, so it is regarded as a certain Bodhisattva. There are countless bodhisattvas in Buddhism, and even those who worship the Buddha all year round may not be able to say how many kinds of bodhisattvas there are in Buddhism. Luoyang, an atheist, is even worse.
"It's not a bodhisattva, it's a living Buddha." The herdsman corrected him and while talking to Luoyang, he had already used a knife to cut the skinned and washed Tibetan sheep into pieces and threw them into the boiling water.
"Living Buddha?" The herdsman's answer surprised Luoyang.
In his cognition, the living Buddha in Tibet is just like the abbot and abbot in the Han temple, just a monk, not a real Buddha. Obviously contrary to religious common sense, if it is placed in the more extreme Allah religion, a certain religious leader dares to promote himself to the same height as Allah, and he has long been treated as a heretic by believers, even if the abbot of Shaolin Temple does not dare to mold a golden body for himself.
"Which living Buddha is it?" Luoyang asked again, there are many bodhisattvas in Buddhism, and there are even more living Buddhas in Tibetan Buddhism, and there may be a living Buddha in a palm-sized temple, and the most famous ones are, of course, Pan, Chan, and Dalai Lai.
"Kailash Living Buddha." The herdsman replied, and when he said the name, he left his work behind, wiped his hands, put his hands together, raised them above his head, and bowed to the northeast, as if they could hear him.
"Haven't heard of it." Luoyang shook his head, in fact, no matter whose name the herdsman said, he had the same reaction, his understanding of the living Buddha was only limited to the two of Pan, Zen and Dalai Lai.
He has heard of Mount Kailash, it is very famous, it is one of the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism, it is said that the most famous Mount Meru in Buddhism refers to it, and it is also a holy mountain in Brahmanism and Jainism, so it is also known as the king of the sacred mountain, this living Buddha can be named after Mount Kailash, presumably in Buddhism status and fame are not small, or it is a deception of the world, Tian shameless people, but seeing the herdsmen so pious, Luoyang is more inclined to the former possibility.
But there is one thing that Luoyang does not understand, what is this herdsman doing in the northeast direction?
Luoyang came here looking at the satellite map, and naturally knew that Mount Kailash was in the southwest of this place, at the junction of India, Nepal, and the Han and Tang Dynasties.
It is estimated that he has been isolated from the world for too long and has no sense of direction, so Luoyang kindly reminded, "Mount Kailash is over there." ”
The herdsman waved his hand, indicating that he was not mistaken, "The Dharma body of the Living Buddha Kailash is over there." ”
Luoyang was a little brained by the words of this god, what is the Dharma Body? He didn't want to study religion and didn't ask in detail, but he wanted to know the origin of the Living Buddha Kailash.
For no other reason, a certain face of this living Buddha had appeared in his dreams.
He wanted to find out what this living Buddha had to do with his dreams, and what his intentions were. Why did he rush to Sheep Lake and the guidance disappeared again?
"Can you tell me more about this Kailash Living Buddha?" Luoyang made a very interested look.
"If you don't believe in the Buddha, don't call the Buddha name of the Living Buddha, the Living Buddha will think that you are making a wish to him, and you are not, this is a deception to the Buddha, and the Buddha will not like it." The herdsman immediately put away his smile and said solemnly.
This made Luoyang embarrassed, he just called out Kailash Living Buddha, how did he become a bully, it was too much of a fuss, is there such a small belly of chicken intestines?
And he speaks here, can he hear? Luoyang has just come down from the mountain, knowing that this radius of dozens of kilometers is no man's land, so the living Buddha is not able to follow the wind? Luoyang's hearing has increased greatly, and he can hear the voice of people talking in a whisper a hundred meters away. Therefore, he felt that the herdsmen were too religious, and really regarded the living Buddha as a god, no, even a god had to follow objective physics, which was contrary to common sense, and could only be described as ignorance, and was brainwashed by religion.
But Luoyang's emotional intelligence is still enough, of course, he won't say what he thinks directly, he hides his embarrassment with a smile, and asks: "Is the living Buddha nearby, can he hear it?" ”
"No, the Living Buddha is far away." The herdsman said reverently.
Luo Yang didn't want to dwell on this nonsense question anymore, and instead asked, "Why do you believe in this living Buddha?" ”
"Because this living Buddha is the incarnation of the Buddha in the world, and he has immeasurable supernatural powers." The herdsman said that at this time, the mutton in the pot was already half-cooked, and he directly scooped a fat leg of mutton from the pot with his hands and handed it to Luoyang.
"Magical powers? Let's talk about it. "Luoyang is a little sensitive to the word 'supernatural power', and he can't help but accentuate his accent, and his curiosity is also aroused.
When he said this, he picked up the leg of mutton and took a bite, the tender meat was stained with red blood, the leg of mutton was not cooked at all, Luoyang knew that this was not the herdsman who had the intention to give himself eye medicine, the plateau air pressure was low, and the water temperature in the open iron pot was more than 80 degrees at most, and it was not easy to cook it like this, so the Tibetans had the habit of eating raw food in the past, but it was because the conditions were too poor, but the taste was not as bad as Luoyang imagined.
This Tibetan sheep are all natural free-range, the meat is delicious, and the fishy smell is also very light, like eating a medium-rare steak.
The herdsmen saw that he was gluttonous, enjoyable to eat, without the slightest disgust, and was very happy, so he and Luoyang talked about the deeds of the living Buddha of Kailash with a pious face, "The living Buddha has been reincarnated in the ninth generation, and now it is the tenth generation, although the fame is not big, only we, the herdsmen at the foot of the sacred mountain, worship him, but the living Buddha has real magical powers, as long as it is a person who sincerely worships the living Buddha, the living Buddha will bless him with immeasurable magical powers, I once met a wolf pack, and the mastiffs guarding the sheep were bitten to death, in danger, I sincerely recited the name of the Living Buddha, and the wolves dispersed on their own, like a miracle, and since I sincerely worshiped the Living Buddha, I have never been sick and have always been healthy. ”
After listening to this, Luoyang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The herdsmen have a simple personality and should not be exaggerated and spread rumors.
But these words do sound like a fantasy, reincarnation, Luoyang had heard about it a long time ago, that is, he didn't know the existence of the Awakened, just as this was a religious method.
To put it bluntly, it is to fool people, and it is difficult to make sense in theory.
How can one person's thoughts and memories be transferred to another person?
What is the medium? Soul?
Thought is the exchange of electrons between nerve touches, after brain death, bioelectricity disappears, thoughts disappear, people die like lights go out, there is no such thing as a soul at all.
Even in a complex electromagnetic environment, this exchange of electrons may be partially recorded, forming a ghost-like existence. But that kind of thing exists for a very short time, and the probability is very small, it can't meet the conditions of 'soul reincarnation', let alone reincarnation of the ninth life, when the computer data, can it be copied infinitely?
After Luoyang had an in-depth understanding of the group of awakened people, this view remained unchanged, and even more convinced.
If rebirth really exists, it means that this living Buddha has attained immortality in some sense, but according to Old Man Bai, no one in the cultivation world has reached the realm of immortality so far.
In fact, don't talk about immortality, even immortality does not exist, at most it is longevity, the peak powerhouse of the Qi Sea Realm only has a lifespan of about two hundred years, immortality currently only exists in theories and legends, the old man Bai is more than one hundred and forty years old this year, if it is good, there are about sixty years of life, which is also the reason why he is bent on seeking a higher realm, if there is really such a freak in the world who has obtained immortality, then he would have been popular a long time ago, and he would not be obscure.
In addition, shouting a name can reveal supernatural powers to disperse the wolves, and Luoyang is even more unbelievable, ignoring the spatial distance limit? Calling for air support wasn't so fast.
I'm afraid it was the roar that scared the wolves, or it was a coincidence.
Therefore, after thinking about it repeatedly, Luoyang felt that this simple herdsman was fooled by the great divine stick of the Living Buddha Kailash.
That's right, it's a magic stick.
Sincerely remember Kailash is good, and the living Buddha will appear to keep you safe.
