After coming out of the cafe, looking at the magnificent Jokhang Temple not far away, Zhuang Rui lost interest in visiting. Although there were reincarnations of living Buddhas there, Zhuang Rui always felt that something was missing.
It was getting late at this time. Zhuang Rui took out his mobile phone and contacted Liu Chuan and others who were wandering elsewhere. They returned to their residence together. Almost everyone bought a lot of things in large and small bags. Even Zhou Rui bought something for his wife.
I bought some Tibetan silver jewelry.
At seven or eight o'clock, Peng Fei and others also drove to Lhasa. He and Zhuang Rui had been here once and came over familiarly. Director Zhao was busy arranging rooms for several people.
In Tibet in March and April, the temperature difference between morning and evening is still very large. In the evening, Zhuang Rui went to Ouyang Zhenhua's place to sit for a while and went to bed early.
At around seven o'clock the next day, Zhuang Rui finished washing and was waiting to set off. However, he did not expect that he would have to wait for more than three hours, which made Zhuang Rui a little confused. The enthronement ceremony did not start at 11 o'clock.
Yet?
After calling Director Zhao to ask, Zhuang Rui realized that if the leader dares to appear, he has to squeeze time.
Originally, guests like Zhuang Rui arrived around 9 o'clock, but after Director Zhao saw his close relationship with Ouyang Zhenhua yesterday, he deliberately arranged Zhuang Rui's travel time with the deputy prime minister.
This incident made Zhuang Rui a little bit dumbfounded. He originally wanted to arrive a little early to see if he could get in touch with the reincarnated soul boy. After all, Zhuang Rui and this person's past and present lives were related in some way.
Time had already been delayed, and Zhuang Rui couldn't say anything else. At 10:30, Ouyang Zhenhua's motorcade drove out of the villa area.
The three cars of Zhuang Rui and others followed closely behind. Zhuang Rui also brought the white lion with him. After all, it is a sacred beast in the mouth of the Living Buddha, and it might be received by the Living Buddha.
This trip allowed Zhuang Rui to see what ostentation is. The roads from the villa area to the Jokhang Temple were all under traffic control. You could see traffic police almost every few hundred meters, and it was smooth sailing all the way.
.
"When will Beijing be able to open to traffic like this? It's just a face-saving project..."
Zhuang Rui, who was sitting in the car, curled his lips. Of course, such arrangements are all in accordance with the rules and regulations, and it is not necessarily Ouyang Zhenhua who wants to be pompous.
After arriving at the Jokhang Temple, Zhuang Rui discovered that under a red umbrella in the courtyard at the back entrance, there stood the young Panchen Lama, who was welcoming Ouyang Zhenhua.
Of course, Zhuang Rui couldn't realistically expect such treatment, so he could only take a look at it from a distance, and was led by Director Zhao to sit down at the guest table at the viewing platform. As for the white lion, he could only stay in the car for the time being.
Different from the last time I participated in the enthronement ceremony of the Living Buddha, this enthronement ceremony made the entire Jokhang Temple feel festive, and the faces of the lamas coming and going all had smiles on their faces.
Except for Zhuang Rui and his entourage, who were all young people, the guest seats were almost all lay people over the age of fifty or sixty. Zhuang Rui had met a few of them the last time.
Liu Chuan was sitting among a group of old men who came to watch the ceremony. He felt uncomfortable all over. He leaned closer to Zhuang Rui and said, "Hey, I mean, it looks like we are getting married. It's so popular."
Red and green…”
"Don't talk nonsense. This Living Buddha has a very high status. This is his enthronement ceremony. Be careful not to let people hear you being beaten with sticks..."
Zhuang Rui turned around and glared at Liu Chuan. He had experienced the power of faith last time. Zhuang Rui was in awe of places like temples. How could he dare to come to such a place like Liu Chuan, a boy with no Buddha nature? , how dare you talk nonsense.
"By the way, Mu Mu, what is the enthronement ceremony?"
Liu Chuan's question made Zhuang Rui dumbfounded. I wonder if this guy really came here for a trip? He didn't even know anything about the activities he participated in this time.
Zhuang Rui didn't bother to explain to Liu Chuan. He couldn't understand even after he explained it deeply. After thinking for a while, he casually said: "Well, this is similar to the emperor's accession to the throne in ancient times. You can understand it this way..."
In fact, the enthronement ceremony is a unique traditional regulation of Tibetan Buddhism, which is a solemn and solemn ceremony specifically used for the reincarnation of living Buddhas. When the reincarnated soul boy is found and his identity is determined, it is a grand and solemn ceremony.
The enthronement ceremony is a symbol of being able to communicate openly with the outside world as a "living Buddha in previous lives" and officially become a powerful living Buddha. Compared with ordinary living Buddhas, the sitting ceremony of the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama in Tibet is even more grand.
However, the living Buddha of Jokhang Temple was also a very important figure in his previous life, and his status was only lower than that of the Panchen Lama. Therefore, the central government also sent Ouyang Zhenhua to attend this enthronement ceremony.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Liu Chuan nodded in agreement. In his eyes, the status of Tibetan lamas is indeed very high, and the Living Buddha is the head lama, so he should enjoy imperial treatment.
Seeing a group of lamas chanting sutras in the square below the ceremony, Liu Chuan couldn't sit still anymore. He pulled Zhuang Rui to find something to say: "By the way, Zhuang Rui, go back and look for the living Buddha again and see if you can I want another string of Dzi beads..."
Zhuang Rui was really convinced by this ignorant brother and said angrily: "While playing, do you think Dzi beads are Chinese cabbage? This string of beads has been blessed by the old Living Buddha for sixty or seventy years. That is the best Buddhist artifact. If you don’t ask me to take it back, it will be considered a good thing..."
Zhuang Rui has spiritual energy to protect him, but his son and daughter are too young. In the past few years, Zhuang's mother had been wearing this string of Dzi beads. Before leaving, Zhuang Rui asked for the Dzi bead bracelet from her mother.
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 get back what you sent out?" Liu Chuan muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, just say a few words. 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 child of four or five years old appeared there, surrounded by several big lamas.
After the young child appeared, the chanting in the square suddenly became louder. Zhuang Rui leaned back and found that the same aura as last time was permeating the square. He believed that this was the power of faith. .
Zhuang Rui tried to use spiritual energy to contact the power of faith above the square, but this time he could not absorb it, which made Zhuang Rui a little depressed.
The enthronement ceremony of the reincarnated soul boy was carried out step by step. First, the soul boy presented hada to the statue of Sakyamuni, Songtsen Gampo, Tsongkhapa and other ancestors of various sects. Then, under the leadership of the current Panchen Lama, he recited "The Sutra of Achievements in the Four Industries".
Under the guidance of the current Panchen Lama, this standard is quite high. One is a teacher in the previous life and one is a disciple in the next life. Perhaps this situation can only be seen in Tibetan Buddhism.
This procedure lasted for more than an hour. After the ceremony, the soul boy sat on a bed covered with yellow silk, with a yellow canopy umbrella on his head. He was carried out of the main hall, and the surroundings suddenly
There was a burst of cheers.
Now, the soul boy can no longer be called a soul boy, but must be renamed "Hubilhan". "Hubilhan" is Mongolian, meaning "incarnation", which is Zhubi in Tibetan.
antiquity.
Ouyang Zhenhua, who was originally sitting at the rostrum in the front hall, also stood up at this time, walked to the side of the little living Buddha, and exchanged khatas with him. The little living Buddha gave Ouyang Zhenhua a bronze Buddha statue and a statue in return.
some gifts.
At this point, the enthronement ceremony was completed. The living Buddha was too young and was carried to the back hall by several big lamas. In the next few days, he would touch the tops of some believers and lay people to bless them.
Seeing that the ceremony was over, Zhuang Rui touched the sleepy Liu Chuan beside him and said, "Okay, let's go?"
"Ah? It's over? Let's go, let's go eat..."
Liu Chuan stood up abruptly, but the words he spoke attracted a burst of contempt from the devout laymen around him.
"You foodie..." Zhuang Rui shook his head helplessly, and asked Qin Xuanbing and others to stand up and walk outside the temple under the leadership of Director Zhao.
"Please wait..." Just when Zhuang Rui and his party were about to leave the Jokhang Temple, a lama hurriedly caught up with them.
"Lama Gegu? What, is there anything else?"
When Zhuang Rui saw the person, he immediately laughed. This was also an acquaintance. It was him who took Zhuang Rui to the Jokhang Temple and saved Zhuang Rui's ticket price.
"Zhuang, Zhubigu invites you to come and meet..." Lama Gegu put his hands together and his attitude was very respectful.
"See me? Now?" Zhuang Rui was stunned when he heard the words, and touched the Dzi bead on his wrist with some reluctance. Don't ask him to return this thing to its original owner?
"Yes, now!" Lama Gegu looked at Zhuang Rui with envy in his eyes.
You must know that if nothing else happens, when this reincarnated living Buddha grows up, he will be the person in charge of the Jokhang Temple. His status is extremely respected. Let alone ordinary people, even the lamas of the Jokhang Temple may not have the opportunity to get close to him.
distance contact.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll take the white lion with me..."
Zhuang Rui nodded. It was very close to the parking place. He brought the white lion down. He also wanted to verify the living Buddha. If this little living Buddha is really the reincarnation of the living Buddha, Zhuang Rui
Rui believes that the white lion will definitely recognize it.
Lama Gegu didn't say anything about the appearance of the white lion. The Tibetan Mastiff is originally the sacred beast that protects temples in Tibetan Buddhism. No Tibetan would doubt that a Tibetan Mastiff could harm a living Buddha.
Liu Chuan and others were left outside. Zhuang Rui took the white lion and followed Lama Gegu into the second-floor corridor. Zhuang Rui couldn't help but look at a corner, where was his first
When I came here for the first time, the aura in my eyes changed.
"Zhuang, Zhu Bigu is in the corner room in front, I can't go there..."
After seeing Zhuang Rui to the corridor on the second floor, Lama Gegu stopped. It seems that the hierarchy in Buddhism is also very strict.
