My Weird Life

  Chapter 154 The Ritual of the Son of Buddha (12)

   The morning light is faint,

  The golden sun shines on the white-painted watchtowers of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple, covering them with a golden glow.

   The bells rang in the monastery on the barren hill.

   at the foot of the mountain,

   crowded,

  The people, monks, and bureaucrats who came from all over Changyun Prefecture walked along the long mountain road, rushing to enter the temple, and watched the ritual of entering the temple for the Buddhist sons of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple.

   After the Buddha entered the temple,

  You must go through a three- to five-year retreat—the Buddhists with strong support behind them join the monasteries with weaker forces.

   can greatly shorten the period of practice,

   Even three to five months can end the practice.

   After completing the practice,

   Temple will advertise Zhufa Temple,

   Invite the monks of various temples to the main temple to observe the "dharma seat ceremony" of the Buddha.

   The Buddha who sits on the Dharma throne is the 'Hutuktu' of this monastery, the abbot.

   And some Buddhist disciples, even in their lifetimes, have not been able to 'perfect their practice', and they will not be able to succeed as abbots in their lifetimes.

   The reason for this is mostly due to the weakness of the Buddha himself.

   Entering the temple is like a bird falling into a cage,

   shall not leave,

   We can only let the authorities in the temple hold the power,

   The ruling faction did not delegate power for a day,

  The son of the Buddha would not be able to take over the position of the abbot for one day.

   And most of the ruling factions are afraid that after the son of the Buddha inherits the position of the abbot, they will liquidate themselves, and they often choose to leave the abbot vacant for decades.

   Until you choose the next Buddhist son who pleases you,

   will slowly release authority.

  Behind every selection ceremony of Buddhist sons and Dharma thrones at Zhufa Temple in the Secret Tibetan Region, there are countless open and secret struggles and changes of power.

   No Dharma temple can be an exception.

  Wuxiang Zunneng Temple's largest main hall,

  The Great Sun Tathagata lives in the center, and the huge murals enshrined by King Kong and Dharma protectors are decorated with gold colors and gilded copper and silver.

  A strip of silk is adorned on the portrait of the "Dari Tathagata" in the mural,

   is like putting on a gorgeous colorful dress.

  Under the huge mural, there is a double-layered, casted of pure copper, inlaid with gold and silver, decorative enamel, and the top of the seat is inlaid with a green and moist gem. The end of the seat is placed on the steps.

   This is the 'dharma seat' of the abbot of 'Wuxiang Zunneng Temple'.

   'Dharma Throne' represents the lineage of a monastery 'Hutuktu'.

  It has high and low points.

   The most honorable seat is the Daxue Peak, the source of the monks in yellow, is the five-tier seat.

   Below Daxue Mountain,

   There are the largest temple in the northern region, "Qonghong Zhaofa Temple", the largest temple in the southern region, "Gema Temple", "Dharma King Shashi", and "Jincheng Temple". These four major Hutuktu and Dharma King inheritances are four-tier Dharma seats.

   in the hidden domain,

The number of   dharma temples is no less than one hundred thousand, and the number of monks is more than tens of thousands.

   However, in Zhufa Temple, there are only more than 100 temples with Dharma throne inheritance, and the abbot can be called "Hutuktu".

   In nearly a hundred temples,

   The throne lineage of most monasteries is only one level.

   Those who can have a double-layered throne are the largest temples in a state.

   And the Dharma seat lineage of ‘Wuxiang Zunneng Temple’ is the double-layer Dharma seat lineage.

   At the moment, under that adorned throne,

   On the hollowed-out carved gold and bronze steps, a gold silk satin futon was placed, and the 'Buddha' Tianhai sat cross-legged on the futon and accepted the people's kowtows.

  The gifts of monks sent by other monasteries,

  Congratulations from officials of the Zongfu of Changyun Prefecture.

   streaks of pure white silk draped over his body.

   He wears a golden cone hat, a silk yellow coat, and several rosary beads are hung around his neck. Strings of jewels, gold and silver instruments are piled up around him, making him more and more rich and powerful.

   contrasts with this magnificent Buddhist temple.

   "Tianjue Temple sent a 'Hamaru' with auspicious mother mantra..."

   "Jindou Daguang Temple sent a pair of vajra with Puba's vajra conjuration..."

   "Mendu Temple..."

  …

   Zhike monk guarded the entrance of the main hall, and the reputation of singing continued to spread from his mouth.

   And the gifts from those dharma temples,

   was piled up around Su Wu.

   In such a bustling scene, Su Wu, whose legal name is still 'Tianhai', has a calm gaze, without a trace of ups and downs.

   He observed the people in the hall,

  The elder of the East and West Second Dean, who is guarding the golden steps of the Dharma throne, is also quietly observing Su Wu, to see if this 'Buddha' is a child who is easy to control?

   Regarding all the responses that Su Wu did to gain the position of the Buddha of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple,

   has been covered up by the four monks Guangquan and Guangming with great tacit understanding,

At present, the two elders of the East and the West only know that the process of the two monks Guangming to save the Buddha's son is very difficult, but he does not know that in this process, it is not the two monks Guangming and Guangtong who occupy the absolute dominant position, let alone the two monks who take the lead. The failed Guangquan and Guanghai,

   is the little Buddha in front of them, who seems to be relatively quiet.

   The lengthy ceremony came to an end as the elders of the East and West Second School continued to test Su Wu.

  The setting sun rises outside the temple,

  The fiery red afterglow poured in from the door and covered the floor.

   The foreign guests in the hall have all dispersed, or they have descended the mountain, or they have been arranged by the elders of the second dean in their respective concubines' courtyard,

  Waiting for the evening to enjoy the entertainment activities prepared by the second principal.

  In the main hall, only a few monks were cleaning the main hall, wiping away the footprints left by the guests.

   After some probing,

  The Elder of East and West Second School is still quite satisfied with the current Buddha.

   They all felt that the 'Tianhai' Buddha was well-behaved and quiet, not busy.

"Divide these instruments and gold and silver orbs into two parts, put them in boxes, and send them to the Discipline Institute and the Jinglun Institute for safekeeping." The preceptor of the Eastern Institute, Kang Xiong, summoned a clever monk in yellow and instructed him. .

   The monk in yellow hurriedly responded,

   bowed and walked to the futon, and bowed to the little Buddha again,

   Only then did someone take out two large boxes that were obviously prepared earlier, and put the exquisite objects piled up around Su Wu into the boxes.

  Su Wu looked at the movements of those monks with a hesitant expression.

   The second principal also observed Su Wu in the dark.

   Seeing that Su Wu was able to hold back and let all the monks take away all the things that belonged to him, the second dean looked at each other and frowned.

   They are not afraid of the frivolous publicity of new Buddhists,

   I was afraid that he could endure and calm down.

   After many attempts before, the preliminary judgment of Su Wu established by the second principal was slightly shaken.

   Suddenly,

   Seeing the monk in yellow pick up a 'Hamaru' rattle, he was about to put it in the box,

  Su Wu reached out and grabbed the other's sleeve, and looked at the monk in yellow with a pleading expression in his eyes: "Can you keep this thing for me?"

   The monk in yellow was stunned,

   Immediately put down the hamaru and knelt down on the ground.

   Several monks he summoned fell on their knees.

  —No matter whether this new Buddhist son succeeds in ascending the throne in the future, he is a son of the Buddha, not the monks in yellow clothes who can insult and despise him.

   They couldn't bear Su Wu's pleas,

   even dare not disobey the instructions of the second principal,

   can only kneel on the ground and act as a wooden clay sculpture.

in the corner,

   Secretly observed the elder of Su Wu's East and West Second Dean, with a smile on his face, and the eyes of the two exchanged momentarily.

   It turns out that the Buddha is not good at forbearance,

   but what he really wanted was not taken, so there was no response,

   But when what he wanted was taken away, he would still be 'outspoken' and couldn't help it.

   A similar thought popped up in the heart of the second principal.

Kang Zhi, the elder of Jinglun in the West Court, walked out with a smile on his face. He went to Su Wu’s futon and piled the hamaru, along with the vajra, the bone flute, the vajra, and some beautiful and fun gold beads on Su Wu’s futon. Before noon,

   smiled kindly and said: "Buddha, when you become an adult, the Second Court will return all these things.

  These are things that belong to the Buddha.

   Now that the Buddha wanted to play with one or two pieces, why wouldn’t we agree?

  Now all these things around the futon, the Buddha will take them all! "

   "Really?" Su Wu was very happy to hear that.

  Kangzhi nodded and smiled: "Of course it's true."

   "Thank you elders!

  Thank you elders! "Su Wu stretched out his arms and wanted to take all those things in his arms, but because his arms were too short, even if he stretched his arms, he couldn't take everything in his arms.

   And while his face was full of excitement, he swept the treasures with undisguised greed,

   While thanking Kang Zhi repeatedly,

   made Kang Ji laugh even more.

   Kangxiong in the dark also laughed for a while,

   Then came out of the curtain,

   said to Su Wu with a stern face: "Buddha, tonight, you need to use medicinal liquid to train your body, so that tomorrow, you will officially practice the 'Pengwang Mori Dafa'.

   Later, when the Buddha is eating, remember to use less,

   To avoid exercising with medicinal soup at night,

   Vomiting due to overeating. "

   "Okay, I got it! Elder." Su Wu held a pile of gold and silver utensils and nodded to the precept elders.

  …

  Eating dinner at night, although Buddhists keep in mind the teachings of the precepts and elders,

   But facing a table full of delicious dishes,

   Still couldn't help eating a lot.

  The monk who was in charge of serving the Buddha's son's meal reported the news to the precept elders, who had heard the news with a smile, but didn't say a word.

   at night,

  Su Wu has gone to bed early in the room,

   It seems that he didn't think of it at all. Today, the precept elders instructed him to take a medicinal bath for him at night to exercise his body.

   Until the precept elder Kangxiong came in with a few medicine monks,

  Tanga and Peiwang, the two appointed servants of the Buddha who were guarding the room, hurriedly woke up the drowsy Buddha.

   Change his clothes.

  Kang Xiong sternly stared at the two servants Danga and Peiwang and scolded: "If you have not fulfilled your duties tomorrow night, let the Buddha fall asleep at this time,

  You two go to the 'Fire Prison' to receive your sentence! "

   The two servants were seven or eight-year-old boys, their faces turned pale when they heard the words, and they almost burst into tears.

   Su Wu, who was a little awake, also seemed to be frightened and flinched.

Kang Xiong turned to Su Wu, his face suddenly softened, and asked the four medicine monks behind him to come forward, each holding a lacquer box to Su Wu, he said warmly: "Buddha, among these four lacquer boxes, there are Only the abbot can use the medicine to refine the body.

The effect of    is much stronger than that of ‘Yuanzhao Dayu Soup’,

   Only by using this prescription to train the body, and the accumulation of the body will be enough for Buddhist disciples to practice the 'Pengwang Mori Dafa'.

   The keys of these four lacquer boxes are the keys you received when you ascended to the throne of Buddhahood.

  Please use the key to open this box.

   These four medicine monks were all planted with the 'Secret Mantra of Protecting the Abbot's Dharma Lines' since childhood.

   None of them will leak to a second person.

including me. "

   Hearing Kang Xiong's words, Su Wu hurriedly rummaged around, rummaging with his two servants: "Where is my key?

   You guys help me find it!

   The key was still on me before,

Why is    gone now? "
