Outside a mansion in Wusizang and Zuerbu Temple, Suo Chuoluo Mazi, who had come from far away from Liaodong, was anxiously waiting for an audience with the Karmapa.
At the beginning of the year, the Tatar emperor sent a total of six envoys to various places. For the sake of fairness, everyone drew lots to decide where to go. As one of the eight surnames, Suochuoluo Mazi was not very lucky, and he got Wusi Zang; but it was not too bad either.
, at least it is much better than Kuyala Saqima who traveled across the ocean to Nawo Island.
Unfortunately, Mazi's persuasion work along the way basically ended in failure. It took him more than half a year to set off from Liaodong, and when he finally overcame many difficulties and arrived at Naidong, where King Chanhua was based, he was still very enthusiastic
He was granted the honorary title as an honored guest, but as soon as he revealed his purpose of coming, they turned against him and ordered people to throw him out. If you want to say that a barbarian is a barbarian, he had no manners at all and did not return the gifts he brought.
Well, if you don't cooperate, it will be your loss. Sochuro Mazi collected another batch of generous gifts and prepared to chat with Dharma King Daci. But this person was even more amazing. Before he could enter the city of Lhasa, a team rushed out of the city.
The monk soldiers robbed them all. What's even more disgusting is that if you want to rob them, you can rob them. It's okay if you don't leave your clothes behind, but you can't let your dogs chase me with no professional ethics at all!
Fortunately, with the experience of being thrown out last time, Mazi deliberately saved a hand when preparing gifts. He had a small team stop at Dazi, which came in handy this time. Putting on new clothes, Mazi
The last hope is placed on the Karmapa. This man is much more civilized than the two barbarians! Not only did they let them into the city, but they also sent the chief steward Sonam Dorje to receive them personally. After knowing the purpose of their visit, they did not let them go.
They were thrown out, but they were served with delicious food and drinks. Today, the Dharma King would personally receive them! In order to show his sincerity, he specially came to wait for them at Chenshi.
"Doji, what's the name of that Liaodong envoy?" This year's Tibetan Mastiff share was sent a few days ago. In addition to the real gold, silver, soap, and porcelain, what made the king even more happy was that the prince of Luoyang sent another kind of gift.
New food!
"Suo Chuo Luo Mazi!" Suo Nan, the chief steward, followed closely behind the Dharma King.
"What?" The Dharma King was very angry, and the consequences were serious. Is this guy tired of living? The Dharma King's face is very uneven, but you, a despicable servant, dare to call me pockmarked in front of me?
Dare you say I was wrong?
"Then... that Tatar's name is Suo Chuo Luo Mazi!" Steward Suonan suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem and lay trembling on the ground. Damn Tatar, even a name is so deceptive!
"Oh, that's why I misunderstood you!" The Dharma King was very generous. Seeing that he had frightened the housekeeper, he pointed to a plate of steaming food and said, "I will reward you with this plate of corn, so I won't be surprised!"
"Thank you, thank you, His Holiness!" Steward Suonan held up the corn kernels, which were no more than two taels, but he was so moved that he burst into tears and kept saying thank you. Do you know what this is? This is corn. Do you know what corn is?
?Actually, we don’t know! Master Tashi Duoji is someone who has seen the world. He personally saw the cultivation of this thing in Luoyang! The battle was more grand than our worship of Buddha! In hundreds of acres of fertile land, several
A Feng Shui master walked around with a compass in order to select the aura place that was less than an acre; then the general fasted for three days and buried a thousand-year-old jade, and then the farmers came forward to burn incense and pray.
, cultivate and sow.
Zhu Youcong really didn't mean to deceive the loyal and honest Tashi Duoji this time. Originally, he only got the corn seeds last year, so of course he had to try planting them; however, the little fat man adhered to the principle of not wasting any opportunity.
Still couldn't help but be impulsive. The common people who had received the news in advance and rushed to learn skills were very surprised. Did the young general fall ill again recently? Otherwise, why would he come here to perform as a master?…
"How are the preparations for the sacrifice?" Of course, Karmapa Karmapa had a special purpose in choosing today to summon the envoy from Liaodong.
"As far as I know, everything is ready to go back to His Holiness. We just need to wait for His Holiness to ask for the Buddha's decree to proceed!" Steward Suonan said, holding corn kernels in his hands.
"Okay, I will start to invite the Buddha now!" After saying this, the Karmapa carefully took out a small pure vase from the Buddhist niche, inserted a hollow tube into it and gently stirred it. Then, something surprising happened.
A scene appeared - Karmapa blowing soap bubbles!
Soap is still very precious to the nobles of Wu Si Zang. When they wash their hands before praying to Buddha, they will occasionally find a few bubbles coming out of it. But the problem is that humans are always interested in unknown things.
Full of curiosity, they wanted to find out. So the masters dragged Tashi Duoji to ask Zhu Youcong of Luoyang why there were those colorful bubbles, and some mysterious symbols faintly emerged inside.
Zhu Youcong, who knew half of the world and knew nothing of the earth, couldn't bear the pious people to be confused by this phenomenon. He kindly explained that it was because the sincerity of the masters moved the Buddha, so he issued his edict in this way.
Instruct believers how to practice. For this reason, Zhu Youcong also specially taught Master Tashi Duoji to blow chain bubbles, which are the kind of big bubbles with small bubbles inside. He also told them that the more layers of bubbles, the better.
The more you can understand the meaning of Zen.
Moreover, in order for all the masters to realize Bodhi as soon as possible, Zhu Youcong gave each family a piece of upgraded soap that collects the essence of heaven and earth and gathers the aura of the sun and the moon - soap! This is what the Karmapa now uses. Let's talk about it.
This soap, it was specially developed by Zhu Youcong in order to please the two beauties in the family. What is mixed in it is not artificial flavor, but authentic natural peony essential oil! Because the cost of using distillation to obtain essential oil is too high, this thing
So far, less than a thousand yuan has been produced, but this time he gritted his teeth and gave away half of it.
When Master Tashi Duoji brought this news back with joy, the whole Usi Zang was boiling! No wonder, let's just say, there must be something magical about the bubbles that constantly change colors. It is mentioned in the classics
Isn’t that how we live in the one-flower-one world? The general is so merciful that he has told us such a big secret. Next time, we must send him 10,000 hadas to express our gratitude!
Nowadays, what the monks in Wusizang usually do most is not debating sutras, but blowing soap bubbles! Of course, this thing is too rare, and only the big lamas can really get the opportunity to practice; the young novices can only watch from the side.
Just watch. It is said that the most eminent monk can blow seven layers of bubbles and understand the secret of longevity. He is still eleven levels away from becoming a Buddha!
As for the soap that is more magical than soap, because there is only one piece in the family, it is placed in a glass treasure box and supervised by a dedicated person. Only during particularly important sacrificial events, it will be carefully invited out and made of thousands of years of ice.
Mix the snow and water and place it in a Buddhist shrine to worship for a day and night before use.
"Hurry up, due west! Not a moment later!" As the soap bubbles burst, Karmapa urged Butler Suonan to prepare for the sacrifice. At the same time, he was a little depressed because the bubbles he blew burst after only five layers.
, it seems that my heart is still not sincere enough, and the sacrifices I offer are not good enough!
"I've seen the great butler!" Suo Chuoluo Mazi finally saw the amiable butler Suonan after standing dazed outside the door for two hours, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Take the envoy to bathe and change clothes, remember to use good snow lotus petals!" Butler Suonan was not so enthusiastic, and called many servants to take Mazi away.
Bathing? Changing clothes? What's going on? Suo Chuoluo Mazi looked confused. Is it because I'm too dirty and I'm afraid of contaminating the residence of His Holiness? No, I only took a bath ten years ago. I'm better than those in the team.
People who have only been washed once since birth are much cleaner!….
"Envoy from Liaodong, I have met Karmapa Karmapa!" I have to say that the fragrantly washed Sochuro Pockmarked is quite attractive. He is tall and burly, and his name is Pockmarked, but there is no hole in his face!
"Please sit down!" Karmapa Karmapa looked up and down with unusual eyes, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"This is a gift from our emperor to the Buddha and Dharma King!" Although he felt uncomfortable being stared at, Suo Chuo Luo Mazi still took out the gift list and handed it out respectfully.
"Well!" His Holiness took a casual look at the gift list. He was still solemn and did not pay attention to the things on it at all. He was also aware of Mazi's purpose, but he was really not interested! Just because you are dissatisfied
The Tatars in the Wang Dynasty also want to fight against the Ming Dynasty? Do you know what the Ming Dynasty has? Yes, the Ming Dynasty has a general who governs the country - the magical, kind, and compassionate Prince Fu, who is blessed by the Buddha!
"My emperor also said that as long as the Dharma King is willing to help, when the matter is accomplished..." Seeing that the Dharma King Karmapa was unmoved, Suo Chuoluo Mazi quickly threw out the final gift package.
"I wonder when the messenger's birthday is?" Isn't it just to be crowned a king? Aren't we now? Besides, we are still busy practicing blowing bubbles. When we blow the eighteenth level, we will become a Buddha and will not care about this little head in front of us.
Xiaoli? I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you. We have to go to the sacrifice soon.
"In response to the words of the Dharma King, I have given birth to a child on the third day of the eighth month of the next year!" Birthday? What do you want to do? Could it be that you are confused by chanting sutras and want to recruit me as your son-in-law? I have never heard that this Dharma King has a daughter!
"Not bad! Not bad!" Karmapa Karmapa counted with his fingers and was so excited that he almost jumped up. This person's zodiac sign is good, he is a pig, he is really destined. The time is good, gold, moon, water, sun and wood; we read it
There are many books, and he also knows that wood makes fire. No wonder the Buddha set the time at the end of time just now. It turned out that he fell in love with him! "Come, open the altar! Bring this sacrifice!"
Sacrifice? Looking at Karmapa Karmapa pointing his finger at him, Suochuoluo Mazi felt something was wrong. The monk soldiers who rushed out immediately confirmed his idea, and did not allow him to distinguish. They tied him up, gagged him, and forcibly dressed him up as a sacrifice.
An old boar waiting to be slaughtered!
"Woooo..."
Oh my God! It turns out that the blackest guy is here! Suochuoluo Mazi twisted hard unwillingly, but got a sap!
