Chapter 268 Meeting
Even the registered monk official sat aside. Lu Feng sat behind the desk. Not long after, an attendant brought tea. The tea here was no different from butter tea. It was milk tea with salt and a thick layer of milk skin on it. son.
The attendant monk next to him was holding a pot with a long handle and a long mouth. He found an opportunity for the great benefactor to pour milk tea. This custom was also similar to that of Lu Feng's esoteric realm. That is, the tea bowl that was not allowed to be called "guest" was empty. Lu Feng didn't need much time to drink until his stomach was full. The attendant's hands were sore when he poured the tea, and there was no trace of impatience.
This is the great benefactor.
There is no disrespect to the great donor. The entire "great donation" can exempt you from "monk duty". The fundamental basis for obtaining "privilege" is to respond to this great donation. It is a kind of "group" and " "He gave compassion and wisdom" to all the monks. Those monks who received "group praise" received "compassion and wisdom" from the donor.
Therefore, a cause and effect is formed, as a cycle of cause and effect, so the monks who have received the donation should make a "dedicate". This "dedicate" means that they must move towards the "donor" "Seng Chai" used his own labor and dedication to give "wisdom and compassion" to this great benefactor.
Complete the closed loop of a ritual!
So Lu Feng knew this, so he was not polite. He sat with Master Zhenshi and swallowed the steaming milk tea into his stomach. Several attendants were replaced, and the attendants were in a hurry. Bees collecting honey and butterflies darting through flowers shuttled between the kitchen and here. The other two Buddhist disciples were also sitting upright, but no one paid attention to them. There was no resentment on their faces, nor was there any sadness of being left out.
They should also know that they don’t have the money to make a big donation here.
This kind of large donation is the same as the large donation after the degree examination. The masters must be given money, tea, tsampa, and dried meat.
Such a "noble" donation is also divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
There is no need for such a big family to use such a large donation method to go to the temple where all dharma origins are. , those who are able cannot use it, and those who want to use it cannot come up with such a large donation amount.
So for so many years, what he has seen the most is the large donation to the school village in order to exempt the "monk servants".
Among the third class, those who only give alms in their own school village are considered inferior. They can only call this person a "big donor" and be exempted from the "monk duty" and can use their own house. Priority is given to choosing a place to live and raising servants and serfs. In front of many disciplinary monks, the disciplinary monks will also be biased towards the "big donor".
Usually, most monks who have status in other temples will choose to give such a "big donation" and study with peace of mind.
Such a "Great Donor of Tsochen" would give a large donation to all the monks in the entire temple! That is, the entire Zhaju Temple and the five major Zhacang!
Such a "great benefactor of Tsochen" can even meet the presiding Dharma King in Zhaju Monastery! Not only can they be blessed and received by the Dharma King, they can even receive many privileges. His name will be copied into a book, recorded in Zhaju Temple, and sent to the temple where all dharma originates!
Like donating to the entire Dracang Monastery, it is like gold in the sand of the Jinniu River. There is very little. After all, donating to a school village will cost a lot of money depending on the size of the entire school village. It ranges from a few hundred taels of silver to two thousand taels of silver.
That is, there is not one warehouse, but several warehouses.
Even in a large temple like Zhaju Main Temple, if you find your own school village to donate money, it will usually cost you a thousand taels of silver, ranging from a thousand to a few hundred taels of silver.
As such a "great benefactor of Tsochen", one can enter the Tsochen hall and receive courtesy at many Dharma gatherings and important gatherings in temples. Even if you leave the temple in the future, you will still be recorded in the temple. During important Dharma meetings, you will be invited to sit at the back of the "Tsochen Hall" and become a member of the monks in the Tsochen Hall. !
——There is one thing that needs to be noted.
But if it is enlarged to the level of Dracang Monastery, it is impossible to donate a few thousand taels of silver - if you want to complete a donation at the level of Dracang Monastery, you must have tens of thousands of silver. Even as large as hundreds of thousands.
Such a number is daunting to ordinary serf owners. As for donating the entire Zhaju Temple, it would cost hundreds of thousands!
On top of this kind of "great benefactor" is the "great benefactor of Tsochen". As a "great benefactor of Tsochen", he must donate to the entire Dracang monastery where he is located, so as to benefit all Dracangs. The monks performed a large alms ceremony to the same extent as the school village. With this level of alms, you can see the Khenpo Buddha in the temple.
When monks enter Zhaju Monastery to study, the smallest unit is the "school village". Several "school villages" form a Zhacang. There are naturally equal levels between Zhacang and Zhacang. There are five major Zhacang in Zhaju Monastery. In other words, there are five major monasteries, and the Khenpo of the Dracang of the main monastery is appointed by Master Zasak, who is a great scholar and has great merit.
He should also be like this. He was able to go to the temple of the origin of all dharma to participate in the exorcism meeting, and gained the love of a master and accepted him as his disciple. This is what Lu Feng said at the beginning - the four Dharma-protecting temples are the highest institutions that monks can theoretically enter.
Such a great benefactor, in major Dharma gatherings, various gatherings, and even the great gatherings of the Supreme Hutuktu in the temple where all dharmas originate, if the distance is not too far, you can also attend in person. !
You can have a place in the gathering! He is a great benefactor recognized by the Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas.
From this point of view, if you count them with your fingers, they are nothing more than the Khan family, the Zhangjing family, and the Zasak family.
It’s not easy to get in, and it’s even more karma-ridden to get out!
The five major temples and the four major Dharma protector temples in the esoteric realm all have this effect when they create a large "group". Even in the temples that create a large "group", in large Dharma conferences and gatherings, You can sit in the row of seats behind the Dharma King and receive the Buddha’s source and all kinds of blessings!
After meeting the Dharma King, you can receive the supreme blessing of the Dharma King during the reincarnation, and your true nature will not be unknown. You will reincarnate again in the family of a great guru or a noble person, eliminate your sins, and see the true nature of the vacuum!
Despite this, Master Zhenshi also bluntly said that among the three kinds of great alms, he could not obtain the third kind of great alms, which is the most extraordinary, even after spending so many years in the temple. Saw it once!
At least in the Jidel Grassland, there are only a few families that have the resources to make such a large donation. Just like the stars in the sky, only the brightest and dazzling ones are qualified.
And above these two, is the most extraordinary "Tsochen Great Benefactor".
The last time someone made such a special move was the "Witch Cult" family near the Great Glacier, that is, north of the Great Glacier and south of the Jidel Prairie, the guardian family of endless wealth, Wu Zang The guardian family of the scriptures, Gido Gyalpo Thubten Rondo of the 'Gydo Gyalpo' family.
For example, this Jiduo Gyalpo Tudenlangdo did not pass the exam. He obtained the Buddhist fate by himself, passed the "Great Giving", and entered the Dharma. The temple of the origin, but Lu Feng has never thought of such a method, let alone whether he can gather so much resources, it is just the same - the temple of the origin of all dharma, for a monk with no background like Lu Feng In other words, it is a real "dragon's pond and tiger's den".
One wrong step and you will be reincarnated for eternity, unable to stand up!
When you go there, you can’t help yourself! When Lu Fengzhi made his choice for the future, it was naturally impossible for him to make the most extraordinary choice. He could directly see the Dharma King's great donation. What he wanted to do was the second type, the great donation to Dracang Monastery.
Lu Feng was satisfied to be able to enter the Cuoqin Hall.
Being such a great benefactor, Lu Feng can get all kinds of conveniences. He can ask the temple to open convenient doors for him, so he wants to stay in this temple for a long time. - Lu Feng Only by practicing in this temple and obtaining the "third-level degree" and possessing the "Buddhist cultivation" that matches the "third-level degree" can there be a chance of rebuilding the Ganye Temple.
And Lu Feng became more and more aware that it was not just by reaching the "third level degree" and becoming a "Great Buddha" that he could "drink water like a cow" and re-establish Ganye Temple with pride. , rediscovering the Dharma lineage, and rebuilding a large temple with the "Kutuktu" inheritance smoothly is a wishful thinking.
On this road, he has to experience countless "obstacle demons". Facing these "obstacle demons", he must do "punishment" karma and get rid of them all!
Before doing the Karma-killing Samadhi, Lu Feng also needed a "platform" that could teach him to see clearly everything that happened in Ganye Temple. Naturally, this platform was the Zhaju Temple. He He has to "integrate" into the Zhaju Temple, and with the help of the original power of the Zhaju Temple, he can take advantage of the situation. Compared with this purpose, he can use the worldly resources to eliminate some difficulties, that is, to use the resources for others and himself. , are all convenient.
You just need to calm down the many buildings in front of you, and then you can feel at ease. Why not?
Before coming, Lu Feng had already made a mental list of what he had to do.
Under such circumstances, Lu Feng had just drunk away another attendant monk, and it didn't take long for a monk to come in from outside.
The monk wears a tall yellow cockscomb hat and three strings of rosary beads around his neck, namely beeswax, agate, and seashells. He wears a string of Gabala rosary beads on his wrist and three When he came in, Tianzhu "looked" at Lu Feng.
“Pay homage to the master!”
Lu Feng glanced at it very quickly and had already clearly seen the appearance of this guru. He had very high cheekbones and not much flesh on his cheeks. He looked like a thin tiger and a hungry eagle. Except for those eyes, Enough to see through all nothingness. This guru can be said to be full of majesty, hard work and endurance, brave and unswerving.
Like a solemn Dharma pillar, like a bright candle.
He is a walking Buddha!
Even when the True Knowledge Master saw this Khenpo, he bowed and worshiped. The two Buddhist disciples and the attendant monks also immediately bowed to the ground, not daring to raise their heads, lying on the ground, not daring to do anything. His words, even his breathing, were subconsciously paused, not daring to let his own filth pollute the nothingness around this great Buddha.
The Great Buddha - that is, Denlo Rinpa Khenpo Mai walked into this place. He glanced at it and saw the supreme demon protector beside the Buddha. He also saw the "empty sky". Not empty”, Master Baoyin who “has no going and no coming”.
Then he glanced at the true consciousness guru. His expression was "without body or form". He stopped looking at Lu Feng and knew that this was the great donor of Cochen who was going to make a big donation for Dracang Monastery. Lu Feng immediately After bowing, he stood up and said, "Yongzhen bows to the Buddha." As he spoke, Lu Feng had half a bag of gold beads in his hand as an offering.
Khenpo Tenlo Rinpa did not receive the offering. He was as tall and motionless as Mount Sumeru. The deacon monk behind Tenlo Rinpa stepped forward and collected the offering. There was no change in Khenpo Denlorenpa’s face, even an inch of his hair was exactly the same as when he first came in.
After receiving the offering, he did not look happy or satisfied. He stretched out his hand, and an attendant monk gave a long white silk belt to Khenpo Tenlo Rinpa. Khenpo handed the silk The bag was hung around Lu Feng's neck.
He often recited prayer scriptures. Lu Feng bent down to face the Big Buddha in the temple. The Big Buddha stretched out his hands to touch Lu Feng's forehead and shoulders, and gently touched Lu Feng's forehead and shoulders with the sleeves of his monk's robe. He lightly slapped Lu Feng's body, and then got a duster made of a yak's tail from the attendant monk behind him, with a handle inlaid with various jewels, and slapped Lu Feng's body, brushing away all kinds of dust for him. Sin, repented for him, slapped away all the unlucky filth from him.
After doing this, he turned around, dipped his finger in the nectar (water) from the nectar bowl held by the attendant monk behind him, and flicked it on Lu Feng's body.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Feng did not move. He clasped his hands and bowed. The prayers of Khenpo Denluo Rinpa were completely ineffective. Lu Feng only felt that with Khenpo’s After tapping, his mind became more "clear" and "empty". However, such a complete ceremony did not take much time. After finishing this, Khenpo Denlo Rinpa gave Lu Feng a few words of encouragement. Then left this place.
Clean and crisp.
No intention of stopping at all.
What he wanted to do has been done.
He just came to see this monk in accordance with the strict rules of the temple. Lu Feng and all the monks present presented gifts to the Khenpo.
During the whole process, there was no sound of the Khenpo praying. It was not until the Khenpo left that there was the slight sound of the monk breathing. Even the two reincarnated Buddhas were a little reserved at this moment. How much of this restraint is true and how false is unknown to others.
After Khenpo left, the place became a lot more lively. The sun squeezed in from the outside, and everyone felt a little bit of heat. The heads of the attendant monks were already covered with sweat, every drop of it. Drops of oil came out from the face, which was very scary.
Only one deacon monk stayed.
He was one of the three deacon monks who were close to Khenpo among a large group of monks following Khenpo. Lu Feng raised his head and saw such a fat man, with two pieces of flesh on his cheeks dripping down. The deacon monk.
He stood far away with a smile on his face.
Lu Feng then knew that he was the monk who really did things. All the things were caused by him. He also did things, turned around and sent the two reincarnated Buddhist disciples away.
When I came to the room, I turned around and saw the master from the Endless White Pagoda Temple. He once again took out half a bag of gold and offered it to him with both hands. The deacon monk clasped his hands together. After taking this thing, his expression suddenly became much more vivid.
He didn’t even need to open the bag to know how much food was inside! He looked at the two masters in front of him and knew that there were some things that should and should not be said that could be said.
This is the price of secrets!
He could tell at a glance that the guru next to Master Yongzhen was also a monk in the temple, but for some unknown reason, he got mixed up with the monk from the Endless White Pagoda Temple. , it should be that these two monks have asked for help from others - this is not a strange thing. Zhacang Monastery, also known as Xiaozhaju Monastery, is originally "a small sparrow with all five internal organs". There are both "monks and officials".
He then took out an abacus and began to calculate it in front of the two masters. Lu Feng did not interrupt the fat deacon monk in front of him. At this point, Ji Duojia The Bu family saw that Lu Feng had completely used up the resources provided by the "big family".
After the monk official finished his calculations, the deacon monk put down his calculations and said, "Have you found a place for the master to settle down yet?"
Lu Feng said : "I just came to the treasure land, and I still have no place to establish myself.
I wonder, brother, what is the name of the Dharma?
Yongzhen has not yet had the fate to learn the name of his master. "
The attendant monk said: "Dharma names, Dharma names, there are a lot of Dharma names in this temple. In Zhaju Temple, there are many Dharma titles and many names, but it doesn't matter. significance.
It’s just ‘true but not true’, ‘fake seems fake’, nothing more. If you are just a stinky person, how can you deserve to be called my Dharma name like that?
Just call me Master Mastiff. ”
‘Mastiff monk!’
Elder Zhenshi and Lu Feng suddenly knew that this was a good time for them to get close to such a great Buddha.
The homework you did before coming here has paid off now!
As the Khenbu of the five Draksang monasteries, Lord Tenlorenpa is also one of the out-and-out “giants” among the entire Draksang monastery.
Under the Great Buddha, this "mastiff monk" is the confidant of the Great Buddha. Many things happened at the hands of this deacon monk. The master of true knowledge heard The deacon monk in front of them called himself "Master Mastiff Monk", and they knew that this time, they would have a chance to meet the great Buddha.
Being on good terms with him means that even if the other great monks want to embarrass them, they have to weigh the reputation of the "Master Mastiff" - what Lu Feng is thinking about here is that he arrived at the temple in advance. The masters of the "Lotus Chin Dharma Temple" and the Ming Dharma masters who I heard lived well in the temple.
Although Lu Feng succeeded in his conspiracy, he did not feel anxious at all. He clasped his hands together and said, "Senior Brother Mastiff, young monk Yongzhen, I have met Senior Brother Mastiff."
Senior Mastiff turned his head and took the lead. He led them out and said as he walked: "Since Junior Brother Yongzhen speaks like this, I also feel that Junior Brother Yongzhen and I are destined.
That's it, then between you and me, let's not be in a hurry to talk. Others.
I will find a good monk's residence for you first, so that you can have a good rest.
By the way, junior brother, why don't you bring some accompanying monks? , cook, servant? Why are you so simple?"
Lu Feng said: "The road to the Great Glacier of Zhihen is difficult to walk, so I have no choice but to bring too many servants."
Hearing this, the deacon monk, Master Mastiff, led Lu Feng to walk in the Zacang. Many monks in the Zhacang saw the Master Monk, the deacon, and they all bowed and fell in love with each other. Lu Feng followed behind and said, "How proud of you." The Master Monk took Lu Feng to an exquisite monk's house. middle.
It is said to be exquisite, because it is a three-story wooden monastery with flowers, a small spring, Buddhist traces, and acquaintances.
Lu Feng raised his head and saw Elder Mingfa sending a monk out from a distance. He also saw Lu Feng and the male mastiff monk beside Lu Feng, and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing Mingfa like this, the golden monk looked at the person coming, frowned and asked: "Mingfa - between these two people, do you know the monk who followed Vacuum?"
