The abbot of this Buddhist temple.
 He is a three-fingered old monk named Pan Dian Lama.
Bandian means kind-hearted and broad-minded.
Master Ban Dian is a disciple of Tubo Tantric tradition and is also an ascetic monk. Because he made mistakes in his early years, he has been practicing asceticism throughout his life to atone for his sins. His footprints have been all over the snow-capped mountains of the plateau, the Tianchi Lake in the Tianshan Mountains, the grasslands with herds of cattle and horses, and the deserts with drought and water shortage.
.
Half of his soles and seven fingers were damaged by freezing in the Snowy Mountains and Tianshan Mountains.
Master Pan Dian spent his whole life doing ascetic practices to atone for his sins, preaching Buddhism everywhere, and preaching diligently. He had no children, and only had one young novice disciple who was willing to join him in asceticism and hardship.
 This little novice disciple’s name is Utuke.
He was the youngest disciple that Master Ban Dian took during his ascetic practice in the Western Regions.
 He is less than ten years old.
That year, Master Pandian went to the Western Regions as an ascetic. It was at that time that he took in a poor child, and that child was little Utuk.
Utuk had an eye problem since he was a child and could not see clearly. When his parents saw that the child's eye disease did not improve as he grew up, and the living conditions in the desert were harsh, they cruelly abandoned their young son.
Utuk, who was only five years old at the time and had an eye problem that made it difficult to see, was like a fragile sheep that could not see anything. He cried loudly for Apa Ata and searched for the way home in the darkness.
He has fallen into dry latrine pits and stinking ditches. Because he was in such a mess and smelly, adults hated to stay away from this crying child.
 No one cares about this five-year-old child who is covered in stench and filth.
 Until he met Master Pandian.
Pandian Master ignored the stench and filth on his body, cleaned him carefully, and found him clean and tidy clothes. Utuk will never forget the sandalwood on those clothes. This is the first time in his life.
This is the first time I have worn clothes that are so clean and smell so good, without any earthy smell.
This was the first time he smelled such good-smelling clothes. Although he had never met him, Master Pandian gave him unprecedented warmth and security.
Because of his eye disease since childhood, he has been looked down upon and ridiculed by, and he has low self-esteem and cowardice. For the first time, someone cares about him, and for the first time, someone carefully makes soft naan bread for him.
That day was the first time he met Pan Dian Guru, the first time he wore clean and tidy clothes, the first time he ate goat milk soaked naan that was so sweet, and the first time he slept so comfortably.
Later he found out that the cassock that Pan Dian Master gave him to wear that day was his own cassock. No wonder it smelled so good and warm.
The arrival of little Utuk brought a lot of vitality to the ascetic path, and Master Ban Dian also liked this sensible child with a sweet and sweet voice.
Next, Master Bandian took Utuk on the road to find his home. However, Utuk had eye problems since he was a child and could not see clearly. Although he was not blind, he was no different from a blind man, so they searched in the vast desert.
It took two or three months to no avail.
 At first, Utuk would be sad and lost, but after staying with Pandian Master for a long time, he found that he gradually fell in love with Buddhism and chanting sutras.
 Because only by chanting sutras can his mind be quiet and he will no longer be so afraid of darkness and loneliness.
However, Master Bandian never accepted little Utuk as his disciple. Master Bandian said in a kind and kind voice: "Everyone is born extraordinary. You are a smart child who has a predestined relationship with the Buddha, but the first relationship with you is
My fate is with my parents, and my fate with Buddha only comes second.”
Half a year later, Master Pandian finally found little Utuk's home. Utuk's house was completely bare. His parents were both seriously ill and bedridden. They fell ill in the desert where supplies were scarce. Ordinary people who couldn't afford medicine could only wait to die. They originally
Abandoning Utuk was also a helpless act. Abandoning Utuk in a large city-state might still have a chance of survival, and he could be adopted by kind-hearted people. If he continued to follow them, he would only be dead.
Before Utuk's parents died, they entrusted Utuk to Pandian Guru, hoping that Pandian Guru would accept Utuk as his disciple. This time, Pandian Guru no longer refused, and after asking for Utuk's consent, he
Accept Utuk as his official disciple.
After settling his worries at Utuke Yizhuang, Master Pandian took his new disciples and continued deep into the vast desert. He heard that there was a Buddhist country in the deepest part of the desert, and he planned to go to the Buddhist country during this trip.
 But all nightmares started from this Buddhist kingdom.
After Master Pan Dian came to the Buddhist country, he found that although everyone here respected the Buddha's teachings, the Buddha had already existed in name only. The people only showed the kindness of the Buddha on the surface, but secretly they were committing rape, robbery, burning, killing and looting.
After all, this Buddhist country is actually a heretic that adheres to Buddhism and is an evil way of cannibalism.
If all the demons in hell are empty, then they must have gone to this Buddhist kingdom to pretend to be compassionate and engage in cannibalism.
In the eyes of the Buddha, everything has a good side. Good people are easy to save, but evil people are difficult to save and must be saved. The Buddha said: If I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell? The sentient beings in hell are in pain and don’t want to live, so they are more willing to save.
In need of salvation, everyone picks the soft persimmons to pinch, and who will leave the hard ones? Master Ban Dian can use his life of asceticism to atone for the mistakes he committed when he was young, which shows how deep his ambition is.
He was determined, so he decided to build a real Buddhist temple in this Buddhist country with Buddhist pagans, preach and preach sutras, hoping to save some people.
As an ascetic, he naturally didn’t have much money. Every brick and wooden beam in this temple was built by Master Pandian and Little Utuke themselves.
Although the Buddhist hall is small and crude, it finally provides the Buddha with a shelter from wind and rain.
In the eyes of little Utuk, this Buddhist temple not only houses the Buddha, but also lives him and his mentor, protecting him and protecting his home.
 At first, there was not much incense in the Buddhist hall, and he was so poor that he almost starved to death in the Buddhist kingdom.
But no matter how many obstacles there are in the road ahead, Master Pan Dian remains firm in his Buddhist heart and never gives up his determination to save these Buddhist people. With only three fingers left, he does odd jobs and carries goods for desert merchants to make money.
He replenished the Buddhist temple with sesame oil and expenses, and went door-to-door to promote Buddhism in winter and spring when there was less work. Naturally, he received a lot of cold looks and supercilious looks, but Master Ban Dian would always take the trouble to go door-to-door to promote Buddhism. So,
He had a kind face full of wrinkles and deep grooves, always smiling with kindness and never getting angry.
This stay lasted for three years, and little Utuk was eight years old.
Although these three years have been very difficult, there is a Buddhist temple that is sheltered from the wind and rain, and an old man and a young man can enjoy themselves in the midst of hardship, so it does not feel boring.
In the past three years, Master Pandian also rescued two people from slave traders. One of those two people was Ngawang Renci, the son of a serf, and the other was Garu, a child of a northern nomadic tribe.
People were transported to the Buddhist Kingdom by slave traders on merchant ships.
 The Buddhist Kingdom was built in the Great Rift Valley. Every year, a large number of slaves were needed to cut walls, widen cliff paths, build plank roads, houses, and large stone Buddha statues... Therefore, the Buddhist Kingdom had a particularly large demand for slaves.
Ngawang Renci and Galu were slaves who escaped secretly. They were inadvertently rescued by Pandian Master. The Western Region was so big that there was nothing but desert. The two knew that there was no hope of escaping from the Buddhist country, so they both decided to live in Buddhism.
I stayed in the hall temporarily and did some odd jobs to reduce the expenses of the Buddhist hall in order to repay the life-saving grace of Master Ban Dian.
Since the addition of two people, Ngawang Rentsi and Galu, who worked part-time to subsidize the temple, and two people who helped expand the temple, the temple has been getting better and better.
The rescue of Ngawang Rintse and Garu seemed to be a good sign. Under the perseverance of Pandian Guru, the neighbors were no longer so wary of Pandian Guru and the newly built Buddhist temple, and would come occasionally.
Put up the incense stick and offer some incense money.
 Everything is difficult at the beginning.
 Their persistent kindness has finally been rewarded.
 Even Utuk gradually let go of his inferiority complex under the patient persuasion of his master, Ban Dian, and timidly walked out of the Buddhist hall, eager to have playmates like his normal peers.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Attorney
The Buddha's light flickered away again. It took Jin An a while to fully adapt. This time, he was standing in a pitch-black cave in the dark night.
Tick ​​tock
Tick ​​tock
 In the dark and deep cave, the sound of dripping water could be heard.
Suddenly, the voices of a group of children came from the cave. He stopped to identify the direction of the sound, and then walked towards the source of the sound in the dark cave.
I didn’t expect that this cave is quite complicated, and you will definitely get lost in it if you are not careful.
He saw a little novice monk of eight or nine years old, standing in a dark cave at a loss, with a group of children of similar age laughing and joking around him.
Jin'an doesn't know the language of the Western Regions, but this time he can understand what these children are saying. It should be related to spiritual aspects.
"Didn't you say that Abumu fell into the cave? We went so deep into the cave and still couldn't find anyone. How about we ask adults to help us search together?" The first person to speak was the young novice Wutuke.
The oldest child in the group of children snorted and said: "If we go to ask the adults to help find someone, then the adults will know that Abumu fell into the cave while playing with us. Do you want us to go back?"
Was your family beaten by adults?"
Little Utuk’s voice was timid: “No, no, that’s not what I meant. It’s because it’s too dark here and I can’t see anything.”
 A child on the side said with a smile: "If you can't see with your eyes, you can still move forward by touching the cave."
Little Utuk was a little helpless and groped in the dark for a while, but it was too dark here for him to distinguish the direction. Some children began to impatiently scold Utuk that you are stupid.
Utuk, who was born with low self-esteem, apologized anxiously. This place was too dark, which turned him, who already had a stubborn vision problem, into a completely blind man. He was a little scared and lowered his head involuntarily. He wanted to go home and go back to the Buddhist temple.
, I want to ask an adult to help me find someone.
 “Utuk, can you really see nothing?”
 “How much is this?”
Facing Utuk's helplessness, these children all pretended not to notice, but continued to chat happily. One of the children stretched out his hand in front of Utuk, gestured with a few fingers, and asked Utuk to count.
.
This kid is clearly the Rob who almost strangled himself to death.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 bang!
There was a crisp sound in the cave, but Utuk couldn't answer and was slapped in the face.
This slap knocked Utuk to the spot.
