Chapter 1,306 Past Life and Present Life (1)
Perhaps due to the young living Buddha's age, he did not live in the somewhat dark room that Zhuang Rui went to, but lived in a sunny room in the middle of the corridor.
The room was not very big. It was filled with all kinds of books. Zhuang Rui took a moment to look at it and found that those books with yellowish surfaces contained extremely rich spiritual energy. They must have been the relics of the old living Buddha.
A four or five-year-old child, wearing yellow lama clothes, was sitting on the bed near the window. It was not yet noon, and the sunlight outside the window shone on the living Buddha through the transparent glass, as if it was being enveloped.
Like a layer of halo.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the child raised his head and looked at Zhuang Rui with curiosity. His eyes were as pure as the water melted by the snow on the snow-capped mountains, without a trace of impurities.
Looking at the white lion behind Zhuang Rui, the big lama standing next to the little living Buddha moved his face and quietly blocked the living Buddha with his body. He was not afraid that the white lion would hurt people, but
The Living Buddha is really too young and I am afraid that the Living Buddha will be frightened.
You must know that the reincarnation of the Living Buddha has always been extremely mysterious. Through the practice of this life, one's soul will be passed on forever. As the leader of the human soul, the reincarnation of the Living Buddha is also known as one of the seven mysterious phenomena in the world.
Like the living Buddha in front of Zhuang Rui, not only was he a highly respected elder in his previous life, but going back further, he has been reincarnated more than 20 times. He is a great achiever who has come back with the wish. In one life, he was even a leader in India.
A great Dharma king.
There is a legend circulating in Japan that the living Buddha's spiritual power can remove his own breath and travel back and forth in the human world without leaving any trace. He is a living Buddha living in this world.
Zhuang Rui was convinced of this. He had been blessed by a living Buddha, and that mysterious power was definitely beyond the scope of scientific explanation.
However, although in people's eyes, the living Buddha has great supernatural powers, it does not mean that if he finds the reincarnated living Buddha, he can directly obtain the knowledge and Buddha nature of the previous life. Only by practicing again can the living Buddha know the past and present lives and regain the supreme power of aspiration.
.
So at this moment, although these great lamas have great respect for the little Living Buddha, they still have to make proper arrangements for his daily life and safety. For example, this strong big lama is the Dharma Protector of the Living Buddha.
"It's okay, let me see this Tibetan Mastiff..."
The little living Buddha waved his hand towards the lama and jumped down from the bed which was not very high. In a normal home, a child of five or six years old would be an age that even a dog would be disgusted with. However, the little living Buddha showed a kind and peaceful attitude.
He is very mature for his age.
Tibetans almost always have Tibetan mastiffs in their homes. Before coming to the Jokhang Temple, the little living Buddha was with the Tibetan mastiff every day. Therefore, he was not afraid of the white lion. After putting on his shoes, he steadily walked toward the white lion.
Go.
"I recognize you, I have seen you..."
Walking in front of the white lion, the little living Buddha suddenly uttered these words. At the same time, he raised his little hand and touched the white lion's head. However, he was too small and could only reach the white lion's mouth.
Just when Zhuang Rui wanted to tell the white lion to lie down, the white lion, which was staring at the little living Buddha with a pair of spiritual eyes, actually took the initiative to lie down on the ground, closed its eyes slightly, and the little living Buddha's hand touched its head.
Finally, the white lion showed a look of great enjoyment.
After caressing the white lion's head hair, the little living Buddha said: "Are you willing to stay?"
After the two lamas in the room heard what the Living Buddha said, they thought he liked the Tibetan Mastiff and didn't take it seriously. The Living Buddha's Buddha nature has not yet been awakened and he has some childish habits, which is understandable.
But when Zhuang Rui heard the pronunciation of these Tibetan sentences, his body shook violently, because he had heard such a question a few years ago.
Like Zhuang Rui, the white lion seemed to understand the Living Buddha's words. He shook his head slightly, stood up from the ground, and slowly retreated behind Zhuang Rui.
Until this moment, the little living Buddha seemed to have noticed Zhuang Rui, tilted his head and asked Zhuang Rui: "Are you its friend?"
After being translated by the lama next to him, Zhuang Rui nodded and said, "Yes, I am a friend of White Lion. Since you have asked before, why bother asking again?"
The White Lion was Zhuang Rui's companion for the longest time. He had been with Zhuang Rui through life and death. He was reluctant to leave the White Lion in the Jokhang Temple anyway, so he was not very polite in his words.
"Did I ask?"
After hearing the words translated by the big lama, the little living Buddha blinked his eyes in astonishment, but then he laughed and said: "Maybe I have asked, I don't know what happened. I just wanted to ask, so if you don't want to, just forget it."
Already..."
"Well, if the white lion is willing in the future, I will definitely send it here..."
Seeing that the little living Buddha was no longer entangled in this matter, Zhuang Rui quickly presented the hada he had prepared. Although he was only facing a child of four or five years old, when the child grows up, it will be the treasure of the entire Tibetan area.
A spiritual leader.
"This thing is mine..."
When Zhuang Rui presented the khata to the little living Buddha, his words made the smile on Zhuang Rui's face freeze again, and the Dzi beads on his wrist were recognized by others.
But this thing does belong to someone else. Although it is a bit unscrupulous to take something back after giving it away, Zhuang Rui can't be serious with this four or five-year-old child. Besides, he was mentally prepared before coming.
Zhuang Rui reluctantly took off the Dzi Bead bracelet from his wrist and said, "This was given to me by the Living Buddha. Now it should be returned to its original owner..."
But after the big lama translated Zhuang Rui's words, the little living Buddha waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I didn't mean to be stupid like you, but I just said those words suddenly..."
"Damn, you just said it casually and scared me. Just now it was a white lion, and now it's a dzi bead. It would be a joke if you didn't bring it with you..."
After hearing what the little living Buddha said, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel depressed. He was already an adult in his thirties. He didn't expect to be helpless in front of this four or five-year-old little living Buddha. If he said it, he would be appointed by Liu Chuan.
joke.
"Principal Zhuang, Zhu Bigu didn't mean it. He was just affected by some influences from his previous life. Zhuang, please talk to Zhu Bigu for a while..." Seeing Zhuang Rui's depressed expression, the lama standing next to him smiled.
He stood up and explained to Zhuang Rui.
In Buddhism, there is a saying of sudden enlightenment. Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately refers to sudden enlightenment.
Similarly, reincarnation in Tibetan Buddhism will occasionally allow the reincarnated living Buddha to recall some fragments of the previous life, but this does not mean that the reincarnated person has mastered the knowledge of the previous life.
However, this kind of memory is also very beneficial to the reincarnated living Buddha, so the great lama asked Zhuang Rui to talk to him more.
"You have to translate everything you say, so what's there to talk about?"
Zhuang Rui curled his lips, quite disapproving of it, but he couldn't say these words, so he could only nod in agreement.
The little living Buddha sat back on the bed, looked at Zhuang Rui, and suddenly murmured to himself, "I used to have a dream. I dreamed of an old man sitting on a chair. His eyes were a little tired, and he was mixed with tiredness.
It brings a sense of comfort to a tired person when he gets some rest...
But suddenly one day, the chair the old man was sitting on turned into a big lotus. He was sitting in the middle of the lotus, facing me, but his face gradually became blurred, until even the outline of his face could not be seen clearly.
I recalled the faces I had just seen, but the more I thought about it, the more blurry it became. Finally, there was nothing left, the room was empty, the master and that person were gone, and only a faint fragrance penetrated my nostrils. The more I smelled, the better it got.
Smell it, the more you smell it, the more you want to smell it, every bone in your body is melting away like a piece of ice melting into water.
How could I have imagined that that comfortable feeling was like a piece of ice being melted? It was incredible. Before I knew it, I was standing on a winding road. I looked forward, and there was a temple in front of me.
…”
The little living Buddha's voice became lower and lower, and finally became inaudible. His little body lay crooked on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
But the two lamas were taking notes with pens and paper, their faces full of excitement. Only Zhuang Rui stood in the room inexplicably, unable to understand a word he said.
After recording what the little living Buddha said, a great lama gestured to Zhuang Rui, and Zhuang Rui quickly took the white lion and quietly exited the room.
"Master, what did Zhubigu just say?"
Although he couldn't understand what the little living Buddha said just now, Zhuang Rui could feel that there seemed to be great wisdom hidden in what he said in a child's voice.
"Zhu Bigu is explaining the principles of reincarnation, Zhuang Jushi, please don't spread these words..."
After thinking about it for a while, the great lama told Zhuang Rui what the young living Buddha had just said. In his opinion, Zhuang Rui could make the living Buddha recall his previous life, and he was also a person with a great relationship with the great Buddha.
"Holy crap, isn't this telling a ghost story?"
After listening to the great lama's words, Zhuang Rui suddenly felt his scalp numb when he recalled that a four or five-year-old child had said these words just now. This phenomenon was beyond his ability to understand.
"Principal Zhuang, come to the Jokhang Temple as a guest when you have time. You are our most distinguished guest..." The Great Lama was full of joy at this time. However, he wanted to sort out what the Living Buddha had just said, but he did not have time to accompany Zhuang Rui anymore.
Already.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely come when I have time..." Zhuang Rui was also anxious to leave here, and he nodded repeatedly and agreed.
But after turning around, Zhuang Rui made up his mind that he would never come to the Jokhang Temple again unless he had no choice. Listening to a four or five-year-old child talking about his past and present lives would be too weird.
