Grand Puja
Chapter 340 Grand Puja
As a well-known thousand-year-old ancient temple in China, the Buddhist event held by Yunyin Temple has indeed attracted the attention of many believers.Many well-known eminent monks gathered in Yunyin Temple, and believers from all walks of life rushed to the provincial capital, hoping to see the demeanor of the eminent monks.
For many believers who worship the Buddha, these eminent monks are no different from the idols worshiped by young people.If Yunyin Temple had not announced in advance, it would be inconvenient to receive pilgrims.It is estimated that in the past few days, Yunyin Temple has been overwhelmed by the gathering of pilgrims.
Arrive at the provincial capital from Hailong Base, and spend the night at the Manor Hotel with your family.Early the next morning, Tian Haoming found a number of cars and loaded them with the Buddha statue stand provided by the temple and the pagoda where the relics were stored.
At this moment, outside Yunyin Temple, thousands of monks wearing monk robes started to set off from Yunyin Temple and sprinkled water on the road entering the temple to wait.Numerous plainclothes police officers who were ordered to come also cordoned off the road near the temple.
Especially on the mountain road entering the monastery, nearly three kilometers of red cloth carpets have been laid.Such a grand ceremony really made many believers and citizens who came to watch the excitement feel very curious.I don't know what puja is going to be held in Yunyin Temple today.
When Xu Haibao's family went out, Tian Haoming, who was in charge of commanding the convoy, also said at the right time: "Consultant Xu, it's almost time!"
"Okay, let's go! Don't keep the masters waiting!"
Police cars are responsible for clearing the road, and the traffic police even implemented temporary road closure measures when entering the Yunyin Temple section.Such a high-profile situation made many citizens who stayed outside the cordon feel extremely curious.
"Is there some important person going to burn incense in the temple?"
Looking at this spectacle, many citizens feel that it is somewhat similar to the previous inspections by big leaders.When the convoy under Tian Haoming's charge appears, there will undoubtedly be more speculations from the public.As for the gift ceremony, Yunyin Temple has not disclosed it to the public.
The event involving the relics of the six eminent monks is undoubtedly a grand event for those who worship Buddha in China.In addition, the person who donated is Xu Haibao, so the government naturally attaches great importance to it.Being willing to give up this kind of thing can also be called a national treasure.
When the convoy was about to enter the closed section, the eminent monks headed by Master Mingyuan also all walked out of the monastery.Came to the end of the red carpet, waiting for the arrival of Xu Haibao and his party.
A number of carefully selected martial arts monks stood behind these eminent monks, ready to welcome those Buddha statues into the temple.It can be said that such a Buddhist event is very rare in China.Therefore, it is normal to be noticed.
When the convoy arrived, Master Yuanzhi, who was in charge of serving as the ceremonial monk, also said at the right time: "Fire the cannon and play the music!"
Under the sound of explosions, the sound of rites and music with unique Buddhist characteristics also sounded.Xu Haibao's mother, who was sitting in the car, suddenly said nervously: "Baby, is this scene too grand! I'm a little scared!"
"Mom, this is doing good deeds. What's there to be afraid of? What's more, I'll be with you later!"
Knowing that mothers who have never experienced such a big scene, it is normal to feel scared.In fact, even my own father and the relatives around him, everyone looked a little dignified, as if they were frightened by this grand scene.
When the cars stopped one after another, Xu Haibao, who got out of the car first, invited his mother out of the car.During this process, Master Mingyuan and others who were waiting in front also strode over to salute and say hello.
"Master, you are welcome! This is what I should do!"
Even though her expression was a little nervous, Xu Haibao's mother remained calm in the face of these eminent monks' thanks.In fact, Xu Haibao's mother never let go of her son's hand from the moment she got off the car.
In her opinion, having her son by her side also brought her endless courage.After everyone briefly talked, Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Master Mingyuan, let's start!"
"Okay! Dharma protector monk, come forward! Welcome the relics and Buddha statues back to the temple!"
Following Master Mingyuan's order, these Buddhist monks carefully selected from various monasteries across the country also stepped forward one after another.The Buddha statue platform that opened the car door was carefully lifted down and carried on the shoulders.
As for the most precious urn stupa, it is held by Xu Haibao's mother.Xu Haibao's mother originally planned to refuse, but Master Mingyuan still insisted: "This holy object is a gift from the benefactor, and must be sent to the temple by the benefactor to worship!"
Facing Master Mingyuan's insistence, Xu Haibao finally said: "Mom, Master Mingyuan and the others are also kind, so you can take over this matter! I will accompany you later, so you don't have to worry, right?"
"it is good!"
Unable to refuse the arrangement of Master Mingyuan and others, Xu Haibao and his mother, who finally held the golden stupa, walked in front of Master Mingyuan and others.When passing by the monks standing beside them, these monks would bend down and chant the Buddha's name.
Knowing that many reporters were taking pictures nearby, Xu Haibao still cast a fog concealment technique on his family.In this way, when these reporters went back to look at the photos, they would be surprised to find that Xu Haibao's family couldn't see the faces clearly at all.
This is also done to prevent someone from disturbing the quietness of the parents.In Xu Haibao's view, if it weren't for the mother's dedication to worshiping the Buddha, the parents would not have participated in such a lively event.For parents, they enjoy a more ordinary life.
The moment they stepped on the red carpet, the bells of Yunyin Temple also began to ring.Many believers and citizens who were stopped under the temple were also very curious about the identity of Xu Haibao's family, and even more curious about where these Buddha statues came from.
Of course, there are still citizens who are curious about what Xu Haibao's mother is holding in the hands of Master Mingyuan and others.What is so magical about such a grand Buddhist event?
Although many reporters wanted to go into the temple to see the grand event, it is a pity that since a few days ago, the vicinity of Yunyin Temple has been heavily guarded.Even the police who are in charge of guarding the outside of the temple cannot enter the temple without official business.
Holding the golden pagoda where the relics were placed, and supported by Xu Haibao, Zhu Fen, as a mother, felt a little nervous, but still felt very honored.In her opinion, to be able to have the scenery like today, her life is not in vain.
When the group entered Yunyin Temple, which was guarded by monks, the scent of sandalwood wafting from the temple also made Xu and Liu's family, who followed the group in, instantly feel inner peace.After entering the Daxiong Palace, this feeling is even deeper.
The donation ceremony was presided over by Master Mingyuan, who had the highest cultivation level.When Master Mingyuan saluted and took over the golden pagoda enshrining relics from Xu Haibao's mother, the monks who entered the hall also began to chant scriptures loudly.
Looking at the relic pagoda enshrined in front of the Buddha statue, there are many Buddha statues.As the host, Master Mingyuan also began to carry out the corresponding donation ceremony.At this time, Xu and Liu's family quietly watched from the sidelines.
At the end of the ceremony, which lasted for nearly an hour, Master Yuanzhi, who was in charge of etiquette, also smiled and said, "Several benefactors, please move to the meditation room in the backyard to rest. Our temple has prepared some vegetarian dishes, and all benefactors are welcome!"
"Trouble master!"
As the next mage candidate of Yunyin Temple, Master Yuanzhi has also grown rapidly in recent years.It can be said that he was able to achieve the cultivation level he has today, also thanks to Xu Haibao's help.Therefore, he is also deeply grateful to the Xu family!
According to Xu Haibao's knowledge, the eminent monk's relics and Buddha statues donated to Yunyin Temple will be placed in the main hall of the temple, where they will receive seven days of chanting and offering.As for why he did this, Xu Haibao naturally didn't understand.
The only thing that can be felt is that after the relics were placed in the Great Hall of Great Heroes, the aura of the entire Great Hall of Great Heroes has also changed a lot.Even though Xu Haibao's state of mind has reached the early stage of Jindan, he still feels a little depressed.
It can be seen from this that relics are indeed supreme holy objects for Buddhist practitioners.On the other hand, Master Mingyuan and the others seem to enjoy this aura very much.These masters sat in the front row and led the monks in the temple to chant scriptures and pray for blessings.
"Buddhism and Taoism can continue to this day, and there seems to be a reason for it! I hope that these relics will allow a few more innate-level eminent monks in the country. If that is the case, I believe that Buddhism will be more prosperous in the future!"
Xu Haibao, who was thinking secretly, walked out of the main hall, looked at the main hall behind him, and secretly looked forward to it.At least Xu Haibao believed that with today's donation ceremony, Buddhist cultivators in China would owe him a great favor.
When they came to the Zen room in the backyard, it was the first time for the parents of the two families to come to this place of pure cultivation, and they were very surprised.From their point of view, if they hadn't followed Xu Haibao, maybe they wouldn't have had the chance to step into this real backyard.
Looking at the fast meal specially prepared by Master Yuanzhi, the two families didn't think there was anything wrong.In fact, many people have no chance to eat such a vegetarian meal.Both parents cherish this opportunity.
After a few bites of the noodles prepared by the temple, Xu Haibao walked outside the dining hall, looked at Master Yuanzhi waiting outside the door, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Master's cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism has improved again! "
"Consultant Xu, you're being polite! I'm still here today, thanks to my advisor's help. I'll remember this feeling in my heart!"
"It's too serious! The mage in the past was kind to me, and it's only natural for me to give back to your temple. Can you ask more, how many of the relics can your temple get?"
Faced with such an inquiry, Master Yuanzhi smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid our temple can only get one relic! The remaining five relics will also be distributed to the other five Buddhist temples. For Buddha statues, our temple can invite one more!"
"There are too many monks and too little porridge! Right?"
Xu Haibao, who replied with a smile, looked at Master Yuan Zhi with a wry smile and nodded.In fact, Xu Haibao felt that such a distribution was actually quite normal.Even if Yunyin Temple is very famous, it is not easy to enjoy such honor alone.
Eating alone is also easy to be envied by others.What's more, this Dharma meeting was held in Yunyin Temple, which invisibly enhanced the reputation and status of Yunyin Temple.It can be said that Yunyin Temple benefited the most this time.
After chatting with Master Yuanzhi for a while, Xu Haibao took out a jade bottle from his body, handed it to the other party, and said: "In the jade bottle, there is the water of spiritual energy that I collected. There should be hundreds of drops. Mage."
"This thing is too expensive, I dare not accept it!"
"Don't worry, I will explain this matter to the master! In my opinion, with the water of this spiritual energy and the relics that welcome you back, I believe that the masters of your temple should be able to make further progress on the road of intensive cultivation of Buddhism! "
In Xu Haibao's view, there should be as much water as this kind of spiritual energy.But for Buddhist monks like Yunyin Temple, this spiritual water is also a wonderful thing for them.I believe Master Guangxian would not refuse such an opportunity!
