Chapter 564: Desolation(2/2)
Cao Yong was a bit lazy and curious about Tibetan Buddhism. He was half-spoken and half-spoken and became a temporary disciple of the Great Lama, listening to him teaching Buddhism.
The sect believed in by the Great Lama is the "Gelug Sect", also known as the "Huang Sect". It is the same sect as the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama. This sect is already the mainstream sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
They advocated that monks should keep the precepts, not marry, not drink, not kill, and not work in farming. What they believed in was "holding the view of emptiness of dependent origination" and believed that "all dharmas arise when they are in a condition, but they are empty and have no self-nature after all."
In their eyes, heaven and earth are a network of dependent origination. No matter what disasters they have experienced, the cause and effect are not chaotic, and the principle of the continuity is coherent. No matter what the cause and why they have experienced, there is only one true mind, which is what they call "the nature of one's mind".
Cao Yong stayed in Qingliang Temple in Jiangning for three years in his early years and was not unfamiliar with Buddhist scriptures.
Although I think that the sect that the great lama believed in was more in line with human nature than the Buddhists that have become much talked about for more than a thousand years in the Central Plains civilization, Cao Yong was not a Buddhist disciple after all, and he was unwilling to comment casually.
He just listened to the great lama talking about the scriptures, and asked one or two questions when he was puzzled.
The great lama seemed to regard himself as the "original origin" that persuaded Cao Yong to go to the Buddha, and wanted to save him as a disciple.
Cao Yong followed the big lama and ate the meat and milk tofu every time. He had meat on his face, which was a little clear after a long journey.
Regarding Buddhism, Cao Yong only thought it was a knowledge he was not familiar with. If he could know more, he would have no other meaning.
He has parents and parents above and a beautiful wife and a weak son below. His life is full of hardship and happiness. How could he have the desire to abandon the world?
Sometimes, he also envied the monk's leisure, not physical leisure, but mental.
But no matter how envy is, people must always be responsible for their lives, which is inevitable.
When the great lama went on a journey, there were many monks and believers, and there were hundreds of them. In addition to the seventy people who came with Cao Yong, the team was vast and spectacular.
Because nomadic peoples are used to migrating on the grassland, the cattle and sheep are all following the crowds, so there is no need to worry about food along the way.
The right wing of Khalkha, there are one prince, one prince, one Beizi, and one Duke. The remaining one is Zhutaiji.
When they meet the residences of these Mongolian princes, the great lama and Cao Yong will be treated with grandly.
Cao Yong was just taking advantage of the title of "inspector", but the great lama was regarded as a respect and courtesy of gods and Buddhas by Mongolian subjects.
Not to mention various kinds of Hada, there were several large trucks of food sent by the believers.
There are also some devout believers who have driven away their livestock and travel with the great lama.
The great lama still asked someone to persuade him, but when he finally saw that his words were ineffective twice, he stopped talking.
Cao Yong had nothing to do with butter, horse milk wine, etc., and the happiest thing was that the Mongolian nobles worshiped rice.
This "white food" and "red food" that see the sky, occasionally some pasta, and they are all fried pasta with sheep oil. Cao Yong really lost his appetite.
With rice, I cooked a pot of white porridge when I was at the station and ate other things, which was also a delicacy in the eyes of Cao Yong and others.
Cao Yong was a powerful person, but he had a pot of rice with his servants. In the eyes of the great lama, he became more and more confident that Cao Yong was a person with "wisdom root".
However, when Cao Yong was fine, he sat at the door of the raised felt tent and stared at the grassland along the way in a daze.
How great is this green one? If you eat meat when you see the sky, you can clear your stomach and intestines when you come to the green vegetables.
However, looking at it, Cao Yong felt something was wrong, and he felt that the scenery in front of him was getting more and more desolate.
In other places, although green grass cannot be said to have no knees, it also has its growth to the calves.
But here, it is sparse and there is no sign of green.
Some of the Mongolians also noticed something was wrong. Two middle-aged monks urged their horses to the felt tent and whispered something.
The ox cart had stopped, and the big lama walked down the felt tent with a solemn expression. Even Cao Yong noticed the strange atmosphere and then went down the felt tent.
