Chapter 10: Ten Years of Sharpening the Sword
Da Aidao hastily ate some bread, and a group of three, under the guidance of Danzhu, slowly walked along the winding road sandwiched by red wooden houses on both sides.
Larung Gar in the late autumn morning is extremely cold, the red robes worn by pedestrians on the road, occasionally mixed with one or two people wearing Tibetan robes, there are few crowds of people, walking slowly and not in a hurry, holding a string of prayer beads in their hands, all seem very quiet.
As far as the eye can see, the low red houses, one after the other, layer upon layer, cover the entire Larung Gar ditch, and occasionally one or two wooden houses will float a few wisps of green smoke, there is no city noise at all, there is not the slightest noise, the morning of Larung Gar is quiet and solemn.
Speechless all the way, I walked from the main road through a narrow aisle, to the Debate Hall, and then up a northwest-facing cement road, about 300 meters, and on the left side of the road, I arrived at Venerable Tashi's cabin.
Danzhu knocked on the wooden door three times, and a voice came from inside: "Come in!"
A group of three people, fish into the stream.
The furnishings in the house are quite simple, a platform about half a meter high, a table about half a meter high and one meter long covered with yellow silk on top, an open space of about seven or eight square meters under the stage, no beds, no chairs, only a few futons with lotus patterns.
Venerable Tashi sat behind the table and beckoned everyone to sit down, and the three of them sat on the floor.
"Is the pastor getting used to it?" said Tashi, customarily greeting in English.
"Yes, it'll be all right when you wake up," Da Ai replied in standard Mandarin.
"What's going on?" asked Venerable Tashi, slightly surprised.
Kane preemptively repeated the experience that Da Ai Dao had said before.
"No wonder. Gen Tashi was convinced of this and did not doubt it.
"Master, what should I do next?" asked Da Aidao.
"Well, it's almost time for our guru to give a lecture, let's go and see what the guru has to say. Tashi appeared very cautious.
Before they could sit for a while, the group of four got up and went to meet another mage.
Walking back along the road that came, less than 50 meters, there is a small fork in the road on the right hand side, there is a small open space on the side of the three-way road, and there is a two-storey cement red house next to it, which is a relatively luxurious house in this area, which is very conspicuous.
Along the road to the door of the house, there was a queue of people, who had not yet come up at the time, and there were at least a hundred people in the queue at this time.
"Let's go get in line. Venerable Tashi said and walked down.
"Danzhu, you go to the store and buy a Hada!" Tashi instructed Danzhu, glanced back at Kane, and immediately corrected, "Let's buy two!"
It seems that the mage is more liberal than the customs policy, and treats Kane as an independent person, not an object.
After a while, he brought two Hadas, one each for Daai Dao and Kane.
After the front door opened, everyone slowly moved forward in order, and Tashi told everyone about some precautions for meeting the teacher, as well as some basic information and history of the Five Ming Buddhist Institute.
More than an hour passed, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young Master came out of the door and beckoned everyone to disperse. The remaining seventy or eighty people did not complain and headed towards the teacher's two-story red house.
Just as Tashi and the others were about to leave, the little master came over and whispered, "Guru, please give a lecture to you alone after the last group of people come out, please wait a moment." ”
Great Love said that their face is really not small, but how does the Guru know that they will come?
Odd!
Soon the last group of people came out, and after the little mage led the four of them in, he closed the door.
The layout of the house is similar to that of Venerable Tashi, except that the space is much more spacious, and the place where the guests sit has no floor slabs leading directly to the roof, and the roof tiles are made of glass, so it is very bright.
Tashi and Dandrup knelt on their knees very respectfully, bowed their heads together and bowed to their Guru. Daai Dao and Kane also followed the example of the two mages and prepared to pray, but were stopped by the teacher.
At the end of the ceremony, Venerable Tashi led the Great Ai Dao and Kathy to raise the white hata hands above their heads and offer them to the lama. The guru smiled kindly, and motioned for the little mage just now to take the hata and put it aside, the guru did not touch the top for them, nor did he sprinkle nectar, and smiled and asked them to sit down in the hall, and everyone sat cross-legged, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"Pastor, you are not from my Buddhism, so you don't have to be formal. The Guru said in Tibetan. I don't know if the lama did it on purpose, or if he got used to it.
"Thank you, Master!" replied to the Great Love Path, with his hands folded and his head bowed, also in Tibetan.
"It seems that you have understood the statement, and the language is fine. The guru nodded and smiled.
"We were just going to come and ask the Guru, what's going on?" asked Da Aidao.
"You should think it is the cause of a high fever, you should know, and you will know it later. ”
"So what do I do next?"
"Do you have any plans?"
"I came to China to find a person, and I came here to find a clue to this person, but yesterday's dream told me that this person would not appear until six years later, and I couldn't leave China, I didn't know if it was true or not, so I came to ask my teacher for guidance. ”
"Are you looking for that person just because you're trusted?"
"Yes, being entrusted by someone is part of the reason, and the other reason is that I think it is possible to find a solution to the increasingly serious conflict between humans and intelligent robots in this person. ”
"That person can't solve your problem, no one can solve it. The Guru said with certainty.
"Then there is no way?" Da Aidao was a little deflated.
"Maybe you can find the answer in the Dharma, you are not a member of my Buddhist sect, but I offer you to borrow all the books in the academy. ”
"This friend next to you will help you a lot in the future, let him learn more about quantum theory, optics and artificial intelligence. ”
"Kane is a robot," said Daaidao.
"Find them a slightly larger cabin and try to accommodate them with whatever they need. The Guru smiled and ignored the emphasis of the Great Love.
"Please rest assured that the disciple will definitely handle it properly. Venerable Tashi clasped his palms together and said.
"In the past six years, you have been studying hard in the academy, don't leave the academy. The Guru said to the Great Love.
"Okay. "It seems that the Great Love Dao can only be like this.
"Today's conversation is limited to a few of us and must not be disseminated to anyone. The Guru looked around again and said.
"Remember, disciples, please rest assured, Master Da'en!" said the two Venerable Masters as they clasped their heads together and said at the same time.
"Alright, go out and get ready to go. ”
A group of four people put on their shoes and rushed out.
After not taking a few steps, the little Venerable Danzhu sighed excitedly, "I have never seen the master like this today. ”
"The Great Grace Master has known for 500 years and 300 years later, and has the supernatural powers of his heart, so let you see it today, but today's events must be in accordance with the Guru's wishes, and don't let anyone else know. Gen Tashi was actually surprised, but he just didn't show it.
Of course, the most surprising were the Great Love Dao and Kane, since the Great Love Dao woke up, they knew that the two mages had not mentioned it to anyone else, let alone with the Guru, but the Guru seemed to know everything, which was incredible.
Of course, strange is strange, they found the clue without much effort, but they first had to stay in the academy honestly for six years.
He has searched through the 12 Tibetan versions of Buddhism, including the Tibetan version, the Chinese version, and some Sanskrit versions, but he is a Christian, and he is only interested in Buddhism for the purpose of research, to see if he can find a solution to the current problem of the war between humans and robots.
Kane has also made some achievements in learning modern science, especially in the distributed control of intelligent robots, and has made some improvements to himself, which is also thanks to Professor Hansen's improvement of his self-learning function. If you compare it according to the level of human beings, Kane is now estimated to be equivalent to a sophomore with a knife in college, much more advanced than the elementary school student with a knife when he first entered China.
