Chapter 1306 – Bed Sitting Ceremony
After coming out from the cafe, looking at the magnificent Dazhao Temple not far away, Zhuang Rui lost interest in playing, although there is the reincarnation of the living Buddha’s spirit child, but Zhuang Rui always feel that there is something missing as if.
At this time it is late, Zhuang Rui took out his cell phone to contact Liu Chuan and other people wandering elsewhere, together returned to the residence, almost everyone is a big bag to buy a lot of things, even Zhou Rui also gave his wife to buy some Tibetan silver jewelry.
By seven or eight o’clock, Peng Fei and others also drove to Lhasa, he and Zhuang Rui came here once, familiar with the way to touch over, at that moment, Director Zhao again busy to several people arranged a room.
Tibet in March and April, the temperature difference between morning and evening is still very big, at night, Zhuang Rui went to Ouyang Zhenhua sat there for a while, and went to bed early.
The next day more than seven o’clock, Zhuang Rui washed up and waited for the departure, just did not expect, this one waited for more than three hours, made Zhuang Rui some puzzled, said the bed ceremony is not 11 o’clock will start?
Called Zhao director asked, Zhuang Rui only know, dare to leadership appearance, that are to pinch the time.
Originally Zhuang Rui such a guest is about 9 o’clock on the arrival, but yesterday Zhao director saw him and Ouyang Zhenhua close relationship, intentionally Zhuang Rui’s travel time and vice premier arranged together.
This change of events made Zhuang Rui a little laughable, he had thought to arrive a little earlier to see if he could contact the reincarnated spirit child, and then again, Zhuang Rui and the past life of this one, have some connection.
Time has been delayed, Zhuang Rui is not good to say anything else, 10:30, Ouyang Zhenhua’s fleet of cars from the villa area drove out.
Zhuang Rui and other people’s three cars, followed closely behind, Zhuang Rui put the white lion also brought, after all, it is the living Buddha mouth of the beast, maybe it will be received by the living Buddha!
This trip, but let Zhuang Rui see what is called row, from the villa area to the road to the Da Zhao Temple, all the traffic control not to mention, almost every few hundred meters, you can see the figure of the traffic police, all the way is unimpeded.
“Beijing city when can so traffic on the line, net is some face project.”
Sitting in the car Zhuang Rui bristled, of course, such arrangements are specifications of the system, not necessarily Ouyang Zhenhua to talk about ostentation.
After arriving at the Da Zhao Temple, Zhuang Rui found that in the back door courtyard at a Zhu Gai umbrella, stood that young Panchen, that is to greet Ouyang Zhenhua.
Zhuang Rui, of course, can not enjoy this treatment, can only look at a glance from afar, was led by Director Zhao to go to the viewing platform of the guest of honor seat, as for the white lion, can only temporarily stay in the car.
And the last time to participate in the living Buddha seated in that ceremony is different, this sitting ceremony, make the whole Da Zhao Temple permeated with a stream of festive, come and go in the face of the size of the lama, are also with a smile.
In addition to the guest of honor seat Zhuang Rui line are young people, next to almost all are some of the age of fifty or sixty years of age or more priests, there are so many people, Zhuang Rui in the last time also saw a side.
Liu Chuan sat in the middle of a group of old men who came to watch the ceremony, that is all uncomfortable, to Zhuang Rui side to get together, said: “Hey, I say wood, how this is like our wedding like, make red and green.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, this living Buddha has a very high status, this is his sitting ceremony, be careful to let people hear the stick to you out.”
Zhuang Rui turned around and glared at Liu Chuan, having had the experience of feeling the power of faith last time, Zhuang Rui’s heart is in awe of temples and these places, where would he dare to be like Liu Chuan, this kid is so devoid of Buddhism, coming to this kind of place, even dare to talk nonsense.
“By the way, wood, what does it mean to sit in a bed ceremony ah?”
Liu Chuan’s question makes Zhuang Rui somewhat laugh and cry, dare this buddy really think it’s a tourist ah? Even the activities that he participated in this time hadn’t been understood at all.
Zhuang Rui also lazy and Liu Chuan explanation, said deep he did not understand, after thinking for a while, casually said: “Uh, this and the ancient emperor on the throne is almost, you so understand on the line.”
In fact, bed-sitting ceremony, is the unique traditional regulations of Tibetan Buddhism, specifically for the reincarnation of the living Buddha, when the reincarnation of the spirit child is sought and determine its identity, carried out by the solemnity of a ceremony.
The sitting ceremony is held to mark the status of the “previous living Buddha”, openly with the outside world, officially become entitled to the living Buddha, compared to the general living Buddha, the Tibetan Dalai Lama, Panchen sitting ceremony is even more grand.
However, the living Buddha of the Da Zhao Temple, the past life is also a non-trivial figure, status only in the Banchen below, so the central government also sent Ouyang Zhenhua to participate in this sitting ceremony.
Hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Liu Chuan nodded his head, in his eyes, the status of Tibetan lamas is indeed very high, and the living Buddha is the head of the lamas, enjoying should be the emperor treatment.
Looking at a group of lamas in the square below the ceremony chanting, Liu Chuan and can not sit still, pulling Zhuang Rui no words to say: “right, Zhuang Rui, you turn back to find that living Buddha, see if you can ask for another string of dzi beads ah!”
Zhuang Rui really served this uneducated buddy, said in a bad mood: “Play aside, you think the dzi beads are cabbage ah? This string of beads, is the old living Buddha chanting blessing for sixty or seventy years, that is the best Buddhist artifacts, turn back not to find me to go back even if it is good.”
Zhuang Rui has aura protection, son and daughter are too small, is the previous years, this string of dzi beads has been Zhuang mother wearing, before the trip, Zhuang Rui from his mother to dzi bead bracelet back.
He was already ready to return it, perhaps the old living Buddha had thought of such a day when he gave him the dzi beads.
“How can you ask for something back when you gave it away?” Liu Chuan muttered in dissatisfaction.
“Alright, cut the crap! The ceremony has begun.”
Zhuang Rui interrupted Liu Chuan’s words and focused his attention on the entrance of the main hall in front of the square, where a four or five year old sized toddler appeared, surrounded by a few big lamas.
After the toddler appeared, the chanting in the square suddenly increased by a few more points, Zhuang Rui leaned back his body and realized that in the sky above the square, an aura like the last time was pervading, which was believed to be the power of faith.
Zhuang Rui tried to use the aura and the power of faith in the sky above the square to make contact, but this time it was unable to be absorbed, making Zhuang Rui slightly depressed.
Reincarnation spirit child’s sitting ceremony, in one item, first spirit child to Shakyamuni statue, Songtsen Gampo and Tsongkhapa and other various sects inheritance ancestor offering hatha, and then in the current Panchen personally led, recited the achievement of the four karma sutra.
Guided by the Panchen of the current generation, this kind of specification is quite high, in the past life as a teacher, the next life as a disciple, perhaps this kind of situation can only be seen in the Tibetan Buddhism!
This procedure lasted for about an hour or so, and after the ceremony was completed, the spirit child sat on a bed covered with yellow satin, with a yellow waffle umbrella on his head, and was carried out from the main hall, and a cheer went up all around.
Now, the spirit child can no longer be called a spirit child, but to be renamed “Hu Bilhan”, “Hu Bilhan” is the Mongolian language, meaning “incarnation” meaning, that is, the Tibetan language in the Jubigu.
Originally sitting on the podium in the front hall of the Ouyang Zhenhua, this time also stood up, walked to the side of the small living Buddha, and he exchanged the hatha, the small living Buddha seems to give back to the Ouyang Zhenhua a bronze statue of the Buddha as well as a number of gifts.
At this point, the sitting ceremony is completed, the living Buddha is too young, was carried by a few big lamas to the back of the temple, in the later days, he will be for some believers in the residents to touch the top of the blessing.
Seeing that the ceremony was over, Zhuang Rui touched the drowsy Liu Chuan beside him and said, “OK, let’s go?”
“Ah? Finished? Go, go, eat to ……”
Liu Chuan fiercely stood up, the words that came out of his mouth were the words that attracted those pious monks in the surrounding area, passing a gaze of contempt.
“You this foodie.” Zhuang Rui helplessly shook his head, greeted Qin Xuan Bing and others together stood up, under the leadership of Director Zhao, to the outside of the temple.
“Please wait ……,” just as Zhuang Rui and his group were about to walk out of the Da Zhao Temple, a lama hurriedly chased after them.
“Gegu lama? Why, is there something else?”
Zhuang Rui looked at the person, immediately smiled, this is also a familiar person, when it was him, took Zhuang Rui into the Da Zhao Temple, but also saved Zhuang Rui’s ticket money it!
“Zhuang, Zhu Bi Gu invites you to come forward to meet.” Ge Gu Lama folded his hands, his attitude was very respectful.
“Meet me? Now?” Zhuang Rui sniffed and froze for a moment, some reluctant to touch the dzi beads at his wrist, don’t want him to return this thing to its original owner?
“Yes, it is now!” Gegu Lama looked at Zhuang Rui with envy in his gaze.
To know, if there is no accident, this reincarnation of the living Buddha grows up, is the power of the Da Zhao Temple, the status is extremely respected, not to mention ordinary people, is the Da Zhao Temple lamas, may not see the opportunity to have a close contact with him.
“Good, wait for me, I’ll bring the white lion along.”
Zhuang Rui nodded, here is very close to the parking place, he brought the white lion down, in his heart, he also has the intention of wanting to verify the meaning of the living Buddha, if this little living Buddha, is really the reincarnation of that living Buddha, Zhuang Rui believes that the white lion will definitely be able to recognize it.
Gegul Lama for the appearance of the white lion, but did not say anything, the Tibetan mastiff is originally the Tibetan Buddhist temple protection beasts, there is no any Tibetan? Will suspect that the Tibetan mastiff can harm the living Buddha.
Liu Chuan and the others were left outside, Zhuang Rui brought the white lion, followed behind Gegu Lama, and walked into that second floor corridor, Zhuang Rui’s eyes couldn’t help but look towards a corner, there was the place where the aura in his eyes changed when he first came.
“Zhuang, Zhu Bigu is in the room around the corner in front, I can’t go over there.”
After sending Zhuang Rui to the second floor corridor, Gegu Lama stopped his steps, it seems that the hierarchy in Buddhism, is also very strict.
