Chapter 12 Ahe (Part 2) Hutuktu

 Ulangumu is where the main tent of Duerbot Banner, one of the seven flags of Ulianghai in Altan, is located.

When Ahe goes to Uligai, this place is a must.

Because Wulangumu is located on the west side of Ubusu Lake, the largest lake in the Great Lakes Basin, it had a city in the Yuan Dynasty. Although the castle is now in disrepair and overgrown with vegetation, it still stands on the oasis on the high ground on the west bank of Ubusu Lake.<

/p>

In Khalkha, Living Buddha Jebtsundamba is naturally a great lama with great prestige, but in various leagues, there are also eminent monks who are deeply respected by herdsmen. The largest lama temple in the entire Kobdo League is built here.

When they learned that Ahe, who had been praised by Living Buddha Jebzundamba, was passing by, herdsmen in and around Ulangumu City, especially women, rushed to the road to wait for her arrival.

The eminent monk who presided over the Ulangumu Temple also studied in Lhasa and received a degree from Bandida. He preached in the Khovd area for a long time and was highly respected by the herdsmen. Therefore, he also received the title of "Khutuktu".

"The title.

Hutuktu is not something that ordinary monks can get, and even living Buddhas may not be able to get it, but this eminent monk got it.

Of course, it is impossible for him to get the title of "Great Khutuktu". To get the title of "Kutuktu" is already the ultimate.

In any case, this shows the excellence of this eminent monk in his lectures and actions.

The name of the eminent monk is unknown, but most people call him "Kutuktu".

The Zhao Temple where Hutuktu is located was not built in the city, but in the place closest to Ubusu Lake. It was also the only place Ahe and others must pass on their way to Ulegai, so there were more people there.

.

This made Hutuktu, who had always been highly respected, have some thoughts.

"Are these people coming for Khutuktu or for Akh?"

Even so, Hutuktu, who was nearly sixty years old, put down his thoughts and led a group of disciples to greet him in front of the temple gate.

Not long after, the escort team arrived. Taiji from Dulbert's department naturally led Chengdunzab and others to the guest room to rest, while Hutuktu met Akh alone.

Before, Hutuktu performed a blessing ceremony for Ahe in front of everyone, which made everyone's admiration more or less return to him.

"Master, I have a doubt"

Strangely enough, Ah He remained silent after sitting down, but the personal maid who had been following her was the first to speak.

This maid also looks like a Mongolian woman, slightly older than Ahe. According to Hutuktu’s news, her name is Anu, and she is the daughter of a Junggar noble who was displaced during the Junggar War and adopted by the Chengdunzabu family since childhood.

.

It is said that this woman has also been very interested in Lamaist classics since she was a child. Seeing that it was not Ahe but Anu who spoke first, Hutuktu seemed to understand.

"Most of the rumors about Ahe are about this girl. Ordinary people are ignorant and would not think that an illiterate maid can read and write, so they blame all the circumstances on her master."<

/p>

"According to rumors, Anu is a member of the Zanyabandida family, a famous eminent monk family in the Oirat tribe, or the Borzhijin family. Because of the war, he moved to Tangnu Ulianghai, and later became a maid in Chengdun Zabu's family."

"It is estimated that before this, she had obtained a lot of scripture knowledge from the elders in the family"

Thinking of this, Hutuktu couldn't help but feel relieved.

"How could such a wise man appear in a remote Tang Nu Ulianghai? But it would make sense if it were placed in the Junggar people who once dominated the entire Western Region."

"Please speak"

Thinking of this, Hutuktu couldn't help but feel relieved, and a look of kindness appeared on his face.

"What does the master think of the Truchen people? It is said that everyone there seems to live in heaven"

When he heard the word "truqin", Hutuktu's right eyelid couldn't help but twitch.

"Heaven? That's just a layman's legend. Lamaism is not taken seriously there at all. It only exists as a mascot. If you don't worship the Buddha, how can you live forever?"

"But they advocate freedom of various religious beliefs, not for eternal life, but for peace of mind..."

"Absurd!"

Hutuktu was about to refute her when he suddenly saw Ahe, whose eyes had been closed, open his eyes.

Ah He showed a smile and said, "Master, don't be as knowledgeable as a maid. The meaning of Buddhism is like the sea and the Dharma is boundless. How can a little maid be able to understand it?"

"I came here to see the master specifically because I want to get advice from the master."

Hutuktu looked at her kindly, "But it doesn't matter."

"Master, do you think I can be happy when I go to Altan Ulianghai Banner this time?"

Hutuktu said: "That is natural, I have already blessed you."

"But my unmarried husband is not a good Mongolian man, he is just a Chited who pursues money and profit."

Hutuktu was about to say some words of comfort, but the word "Chited" seemed to disturb him again, and he frowned, "For Mongolian men, Chited is naturally not helpful, but he is an Ah after all.

Taiji in Letan Ulianghai Banner has no choice but to do this for the sake of the people."

"Besides, if you get married to him, you can persuade him to get back on track. As for the business of buying and selling, just leave it to the Chitedes."

"But it is said that he did this so that his people would not be deceived by the Chitedes."

"Ahem, the Chitedes can only camp. Without the care of the Buddha, they will not last long."

"Master, isn't it to learn more about business skills to avoid being deceived?"

"Well, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry are all external things. Their uses are the same. It's good to have them, and it's okay not to have them. Everything is fleeting. The most important thing is We must devote ourselves to the Buddha”

"So you're going to let the Chitedts deceive us?"

"Akh", Hutuktu suddenly sighed, "those are not Chited, but Truqin people. They are also Mongolians originally, but they are just Mongolians with a new face, but in the final analysis they are still Mongolians. , their stuff is still much better than the real Kitard, and it can’t be said to be deceptive.”

"What's more, they call themselves Truqin, which means that the person who was exiled by the tribe is no longer in the light of my Buddha. Let him go."

"You really think so?"

Hutuktu was a little angry.

"This guy doesn't debate Buddhist scriptures with me, but keeps asking these irrelevant questions. Why?"

"This woman was originally the daughter of the flag lord of Tangnu Ulianghai. After marrying to Altan Ulianghai, she became powerful in the entire north and south of Tangnu Mountain. Not to mention she had some reputation, but she was not the same as her."

He said: "That's natural. My Buddha is compassionate and broad-minded. I am willing to save all those who can be saved in the world."

After hearing this, Ahe bowed respectfully.

"Little girl, I understand, thank you so much, master"
