In the first half of the year, a master named Bao Litu appeared here who could touch bones and treat diseases. In the past six months, he treated many patients with bone dislocations and bruises, and there was an endless stream of people who came here to seek medical treatment.
Master Baolitu holds clinics in the afternoon every day and goes to the mountains to collect medicines in the morning. Although he looks like a barbarian in terms of physique, his Dharma appearance is solemn and solemn like a living Buddha. When he wears a red lama robe, he looks like an eminent monk.
When he treats bones, he only touches them. Everywhere he touches is warm and he enjoys it. There is no pain. He is especially good at treating lumbar disc herniation. Many people are carried up and walk down the mountain by themselves.
His medical skills allowed the temple to receive a lot of donations, so the number of guest rooms for pilgrims was expanded from the previous twenty to thirty. The kitchen was also enlarged, with all the utensils available, and a cold dish room and a restaurant were added.
The meaning of kitchen.
In addition to touching bones and treating diseases, Master Baolitu also likes to cook, which is related to his work in a restaurant. Cooking used to be his main job, but now it is a side job and has become a hobby.
This morning Baolitu did not go up the mountain to collect herbs. Instead, he stood neatly dressed in the parking lot in front of the temple, waiting for Lao Tan to arrive.
Near noon, a black off-road vehicle climbed up the steep slope in front of the temple and stopped in front of Baolitu.
The first person to come down was the bald old man, followed by his eldest brother and sister-in-law, followed closely by a lady - Su Yaqi Qige.
Su Yaqi Qige took a few steps forward, and her eyes filled with tears when she looked at her brother who was wearing a lama robe.
Baolitu didn't expect his sister to come. He was so excited at the moment. From the first moment he saw his sister, he lost her solemn appearance and became a mortal, a younger brother who relied on her.
"Sister--" Baolitu called her sister in Mongolian, then his nose felt sore and his eyes were covered with moisture.
"Hey -" Su Ya responded, tears streaming down involuntarily, with a smile on her face.
Baolitu knelt down with his burly body, put his hands around his sister's waist, buried his head in her sister's chest and cried like a child.
Su Ya shed tears and stroked her brother's head. She was both happy and distressed, and was moved by her brother's sensibility.
The two siblings talked cordially in Mongolian for a while, then each wiped away tears with smiles on their faces.
My sister is happy and my brother is happy.
Baolitu turned around and clasped his hands to greet Lao Tan cordially. Lao Tan introduced his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the group entered the pilgrim courtyard together.
After arranging the residence of the eldest brother and his wife, Lao Tan led them to get familiar with various places in the temple, and Baoli Tu led his sister Su Ya to his meditation room.
It's late autumn, and the entire Daqingshan Mountains are immersed in gold and orange, and the mountain scenery is full of intoxicating autumn mood.
Yellow leaves have fallen in the temple, but a few ancient pines are still green and strong.
There were pilgrims offering incense in the main hall, kneeling down and kowtowing devoutly, muttering softly, and praying in their hearts.
Some of the lamas who knew Lao Tan came up to say hello and told him that he was in retreat and would be released in three days.
The temple was not big to begin with, so it was quickly completed.
It seemed that the eldest brother was in a good mood. He stood outside the temple gate and said with great satisfaction: "This place is nice. It is said to be a temple, but I think it looks like a farmhouse in the mountains. It is comfortable and comfortable."
My sister-in-law said, "What are you talking about? Don't ask anyone to listen."
Old Tan laughed and said, "It's okay, there are no taboos here, and it really looks like a farmyard." Then he pointed to the mountain behind and said, "Look, there is firewood on the mountain. Those who don't know how to cook are responsible for going up the mountain to pick it up."
There is a basket in the pilgrim courtyard. You can carry it up the mountain when you get up in the morning. The air in the mountain is good and it is a natural oxygen bar. I collect firewood and use it as exercise."
"Are there wolves?" My sister-in-law asked worriedly as she looked at the endless mountains.
"Yes, but don't be afraid. It won't attack people if you don't provoke it. Besides, the wolves are in the back mountains and don't come to the front mountains," Lao Tan said.
"That's okay------"
"I won't take you two up the mountain. Baolitu can take you two there tomorrow." Lao Tan then turned around and pointed in the direction of Donggou and said: "That's Donggou over there. There is a spring in the ditch, and there is a spring in the ditch.
Pick and go. A round trip of more than two miles."
My sister-in-law said, "I see there is an organic well in the pilgrim courtyard."
"Yes, but the water is not as good as the one in Donggou, so we go there to pick it up," Lao Tan said.
"Let's go over and have a look." The elder brother became interested.
"Is it okay? You've been on the train all morning. It's bumpy. Don't be tired." Old Tan said with concern.
"Okay, it's okay. I'm not tired from riding in the car. Let's go and have a look." The elder brother insisted.
My sister-in-law said, "Don't go. We have plenty of time to wait for tomorrow, and we are not leaving right away."
"I think so. Besides, it's time for dinner at noon, so let's go eat first," Lao Tan said.
The three of them returned to the pilgrim courtyard. Baolitu was already waiting in the courtyard. He came to invite Lao Tan and the others to his Zen room for dinner.
Baolitu's Zen room is next to the pilgrim's courtyard, with two rooms inside and outside. The inner room is the living room, which is very simple, with a bed, a table, a stool, and a few daily necessities. The outer room is a treatment room, with a table and a bed.
, there is a medicine shelf against the wall, and the room is filled with the fragrance of medicine.
There are four plates of vegetables and a small basin of rice on the table, which are delicious.
"When did you learn to touch bones?" Lao Tan asked Baolitu while eating.
Bao Litu said: "I don't know, I think I knew it when I was a child."
"He learned it from my father. My father understood it. We looked up who had a broken arm or leg and asked him to treat it. He watched while his father treated him, and he learned it over and over again.
I remember that he had never set anyone's bones, nor had he treated them. Sometimes he would rub someone's sprained ankle, and it would heal without any swelling," Su Ya said.
Lao Tan smiled at Baolitu and said, "You are self-taught."
Baolitu silly smile.
Lao Tan said to his eldest brother and sister-in-law: "Baolitu is destined to be a Buddha. He came here to see me at the beginning of the year and he became enlightened, just like a living Buddha in his previous life. The old lama in the temple fell in love with me, and he called me when I left.
I kept him, haha, he became a famous master far and wide."
The eldest brother said: "By chance, I think he is the Buddha, and he should be here."
Lao Tan said: "Some people practice Buddhism all their lives but have no luck. They have their own fate from past and present lives."
Su Ya said leisurely: "I don't want him to be like this. It would be best to go back and find a wife-----"
Lao Tan said: "Many things are destined, and it is not a bad thing for Baolitu to be here. As your sister, you hope that he will marry, have children, and start a family. But his destiny is to save all living beings in the monastery and use medical skills to save the world.
Helping people escape suffering and gain happiness is both spiritual practice and merit, so you should be happy."
"I'm happy to see him like this - but I can't control myself," Su Ya said.
"Sister, you don't have to be sad, Changshengtian asked me to do this, and I am willing." Baolitu said.
"Well, sister knows------"
The sister-in-law on the side couldn't help but ask: "Well, um, that Master Bao, do you think his disease can be cured?" After saying that, he looked at the elder brother beside him.
Baolitu smiled sheepishly and said, "I can't cure this donor's disease, but I can massage him once a day to unblock his meridians, strengthen his qi and blood, and help him get better."
My sister-in-law looked surprised and said hurriedly: "Thank you so much."
"No thanks." Baolitu nodded.
The eldest brother was also very surprised and said to Baolitu: "I should thank you, I should thank you."
Su Ya was happy to hear what her brother said, and said, "If you have such ability, please give it to Master Tan."
Baolitu looked at Old Tan and said calmly: "Master has something on his mind. He can't stand this time. Let's wait until next time."
"Eh-" Lao Tan asked in surprise: "How do you know I can't stand?"
"You didn't get a room for yourself," Paulito said.
Lao Tan was still surprised. He didn't expect Baolitu to judge that he couldn't stand through this detail. This would have been absolutely impossible before.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart - I really don't know when I will retire.
