Chapter 0722 – Buddhist Sound Zen Singing (I)
“Balsang, what are you doing?”
Gegu Lama saw the small lama’s behavior, could not help but be shocked, don’t look at this small lama’s age is not big, but has been following Qiangba Luozhu living Buddha for six or seven years, is the living Buddha’s attendant, in the status of the Da Zhao Temple is much higher than him.
The search for the reincarnation of the living Buddha in the team, there is a small lama Balsang, I believe that after the search for the living Buddha, the small lama will also be sent to the Buddhist Academy to study and further training, the future is certainly stronger than the Gegu this law enforcement lama.
“It is the guardian deity of the Great Snow Mountain, the Buddha’s guardian beast ……”
The little lama couldn’t express himself in Chinese, so he simply talked to Gegu in Tibetan.
To say who in the Da Zhao Temple knows the real meaning of the living Buddha Qiangba Luozhu gifted Zhuang Rui dzi bead, may be only this small lama Balsang, at that time the living Buddha every word, he remembered clearly, only at that time the white lion was too young, he could not connect it with the guardian deity of the snowy mountains.
But now the adult white lion is in front of him, the little lama immediately remembered the words of the living Buddha, and is no longer a trace of doubt, if not the guardian deity on the Great Snowy Mountain, how can it be in more than a year’s time, grow to such a large size?
“How is this …… possible?”
Gegu Lama looked at the white lion beside Zhuang Rui, muttering under his breath, although these lamas’ devotion to Buddhism is indisputable, but they have not seen the Buddha manifested, and suddenly heard that there is a godly beast around him at the same level as the Buddha, this brain instantly could not turn a corner.
The little lama nodded his head affirmatively and said, “It’s true, the living Buddha said it himself.”
In Tibet, the living Buddha’s status is very high, and reincarnated living Buddhas like Qiangba Luozhu are very rare, and even more god-like existences, after hearing Balsang’s words, the Gegu lama no longer hesitated, immediately rolled over to pay homage to the white lion, and mouthed what he was chanting in Tibetan.
The white lion was not really interested in this man kneeling in front of him, and after glancing at the Gegu Lama, he raised his forelimbs and touched his paw slightly on the shoulder of the Gegu’s bowed head.
“Figure and cut, hang true!”
Seeing that the white lion was so spiritual, a trace of fervor appeared in the eyes of the Gegu Lama, his mouth spoke Tibetan that Zhuang Rui and the others couldn’t understand, and he respectfully bowed three times to the white lion before carefully standing up.
That religious affairs administration staff, seems to be able to understand the words of Gegu and Pasang Lama, after a novel look at the white lion, said to Zhuang Rui: “Mr. Zhuang, there is nothing today, mainly all the activities of the temple, you can watch the ceremony in the Dazhao Monastery, you can go out to turn around, accompanied by the three of us … …”
Zhuang Rui came to participate in this ceremony, but the Banchen personally point, not only the government side of the extreme importance, is the Dazhao Temple also sent Gegu and the small lama Balsang to receive.
Zhuang Rui also want to see how the Da Zhao Temple is to pray for the living Buddha, then said: “First look at the activities! Then go out for a spin in the afternoon ……”
“Okay, Mr. Zhuang, please follow me!”
The staff was familiar with the Da Zhao Temple, and after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, he and Gegu walked in front with the little lama to lead the way, while Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei followed behind.
Passing through several corridors carved with Buddhist stories, I don’t know whether it was that the staff member had the status or the respect for the little lama, the lamas seen along the way, all sidestepped their bodies to give way to Zhuang Rui and his entourage, and folded their hands together to give the crowd a salute.
Under the guidance of the staff and Pasang, Zhuang Rui came to the innermost circle of the corridor, in this inner circle of the grounds covering quite a wide area, at this time there are already thousands of monks gathered here, and as far as the eye can see, all of them are dressed up as yellow lamas.
“Mr. Zhuang, please go up to the second floor to observe the ceremony ……”
Zhuang Rui heard the words of the staff, raised his head and looked toward the second floor of the corridor, there were rows and rows of chairs placed there, it must be the reception of all parties to observe the ceremony used, Zhuang Rui nodded, and Peng Fei and other people walked up together.
At this time in the upstairs has sat a lot of people, are from all over the country to come to the believers in the monk, of course, these people are with a certain status, and the promotion of Tibetan Buddhism has contributed to the development of the people, otherwise not qualified to sit here.
The arrival of Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei made these people quite surprised, really because these two people are too young, but when the white lion appeared on the second floor, their attention was immediately attracted, such a big snow mastiff, no matter where it will attract the attention of the crowd.
Of course, since these people are Tibetan Buddhist priests, they naturally know the status of Tibetan mastiffs in Tibet, and their eyes only showed a look of amazement, but not like in the mainland, when all the people who saw the white lion, the first feeling was fear.
Zhuang Rui’s position is also the best, in the first row by the window, can clearly see the activities of the square, after leading Zhuang Rui to the position, the small lama Pasang and Gegu lama will say goodbye and go down, the white lion is quietly lying at Zhuang Rui’s feet.
This second floor does not seem to have a place for that staff member, after he greeted Zhuang Rui, he left his business card and also excused himself and left, saying that when Zhuang Rui wants to go out, he must call him first.
Now the monks on the square had not yet started chanting, in Zhuang Rui’s opinion, the lamas wearing different dress colors, as if in accordance with the different clothes, in sort of standing, holding a variety of sutra Buddha umbrellas in their hands, spectacular.
Just as Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei were discussing in a low voice how to distinguish the identity of the lamas from their clothing, a voice sounded behind them, “Two little brothers, you are also here to participate in the ceremony?”
Zhuang Rui froze for a moment, this is not nonsense, people are sitting here, not to participate in the ceremony, or to see the fun not?
“Yes, is to participate in the ceremony.”
Zhuang Rui looked back, talking about an old man in his sixties, both hands on the wrist, are hung with a string of Buddha beads, in the chest and a jade Buddha, it seems that should be a devout Buddhist.
“Cough cough …… this little brother, your this Tibetan mastiff, from where to buy ah?”
That old man see Zhuang Rui a look not really want to take care of him, also not set close, simply asked directly out, the old man asked, sitting next to a few people, suddenly also put up their ears, want to listen to Zhuang Rui how to answer.
Tibetan mastiff ferocity and loyalty needless to say, in the eyes of these people, the Tibetan mastiff also has the identity of the protection of religion and protection of the temple beasts, can have a Tibetan mastiff, is also regarded as respect for the Buddha! So this observatory ten people inside, but there are nine in listening to Zhuang Rui and the old man’s dialog.
Zhuang Rui smiled, gently ran his hand down the hair on the white lion’s neck, and said, “It’s not bought, it’s given to me by Buddha, it’s my brother and partner …….”
Zhuang Rui was afraid that these people would bring up the topic of purchasing the white lion with money, so he simply moved Buddha directly out, don’t you guys believe in him? You guys are always too embarrassed to use money to buy what he sent me, right?
Sure enough, after Zhuang Rui said this sentence, the old man’s face showed a resentful look, his eyes lingered on the white lion for a while, but finally retracted, and did not put forward any other requests, because they all know that the person who can sit here, not only to have money, but also to have a status, Zhuang Rui, although young, but none of them dare to look down on him.
In this kind of Buddhist holy place, no one dares to make a lot of noise, the crowd on the viewing platform, even if there are familiar, talking voice is also very small, just when Zhuang Rui waiting for the ceremony to start, suddenly from the stairway, came slightly noisy voice.
Looking back, but an old man in two young people’s support, trembling came to the second floor, followed by the side of the person, actually is Yang Kevin, which makes Zhuang Rui eat a shock, to Yang Kevin’s identity to personally come to the reception, it must be that the old man is not small.
Fixed look, Zhuang Rui suddenly smiled, dare to come up in these people, he recognized several, the age of more than eighty years old, but the helmsman of Hong Kong Zheng’s jewelry, assisting him a young man, is his grandson Zheng Hua, and Zhuang Rui is considered to be quite a friendship.
See is Sir Zheng, Zhuang Rui heart also relieved, this old man is not only the business tycoon, in the domestic Political Consultative Conference seems to also have a vice-chairman of the position, the level is not low, by the Yang Kevin personal reception, is also reasonable.
“Brother Zheng Hua, I didn’t expect the old man to come to the ceremony as well?”
Seeing an acquaintance and an elder, Zhuang Rui naturally couldn’t possibly let someone else greet him, and quickly stood up to welcome him.
“Elder brother Zhuang, hey, why are you here too? I thought you were busy with the museum?”
Zheng Hua also didn’t expect to see Zhuang Rui here, a few days ago when the museum opened, he personally went to send a generous gift, coupled with his own deliberate friendship, now and Zhuang Rui are also known as brothers.
“I have a bit of a connection with Living Buddha Qiangba Luozhu, thanks to the living Buddha’s love, once gave me a string of dzi beads that he wore with him, so I came here.”
Zhuang Rui laughed and didn’t say that he was hard invited, otherwise, he would definitely be despised by these devout Buddhists.
“Old Brother Ouyang’s grandson, right! I’ve seen you before, is old brother Ouyang’s health alright?”
Sir Zheng Lao’s memory was very good, he had met Zhuang Rui once at that small private auction in Hong Kong last year, and now after hearing the conversation between Zhuang Rui and his grandson, he immediately recognized him.
“Thank you Grandpa Zheng for your relationship, Grandpa’s health is very good ……”
Zhuang Rui replied respectfully, and together with Zheng Hua, they helped the old man to sit down on a chair at the front desk, among the people who came earlier, there were those who were familiar with Sir Zheng, they also came over to greet him, after Zhuang Rui and Zheng Hua chatted for a few moments, they returned to their own seats.
The followers of Tibetan Buddhism in Hong Kong are very many, Zhuang Rui did not expect, Sir Zheng is actually a devout Buddhist believer, this is quite different from his actions in the vertical and horizontal business world, or maybe it is through faith, to seek peace of mind, right?
The commotion caused by Sir Zheng’s arrival soon subsided with the speech on the temporary podium in the square.
