According to Arati, in the Jade Buddha Temple, the highest strength is probably his master Shilongpo.
It's no wonder that when he invited me to come to Thailand, he always used his master's name.
During the conversation, we have arrived in front of the Emerald Buddha Temple, and by this time the lecture ceremony has ended, but there are still a large number of tourists stopping here to commemorate the occasion.
Arati had no choice but to take me around the crowd and enter the Jade Buddha Hall.
In the hall were still sitting the previous monks, and when they saw us coming in, they all got up, folded their hands and saluted to Alathi, and after Alati returned the salute, they led me out of the Jade Buddha Hall and into a courtyard.
The layout style of this courtyard is quite a bit of traditional Chinese charm, every flower and rockery, there are rules, everywhere hidden feng shui pattern, I can't help but look around a few more times.
Seeing my movements, Arati smiled and told me that all the courtyards in this Jade Buddha Temple were made by Chinese feng shui masters, and they have some relationship with the metaphysical society where I work.
I couldn't help but be stunned by these words, and then I reacted, the last time he met me, I was still representing the Metaphysical Society.
It's been a few years, and things are very different now, but I don't want to talk too much about myself, and I can be acquiesced by smiling.
After walking for about five or six minutes, I came to a door covered with red ribbons.
He finally stopped and motioned for me to be at ease, while he himself stepped forward, stood in front of the door, bowed and shouted inside, "Master, the Holy Son is here." ” Interestingly, he talked to Shilong Po not in Thai, but in Chinese, could it be that this Shilong Po is Chinese?
Thinking so, there was already a reply from inside the door over there, and the wet dragon woman motioned for us to go in.
Alati pushed the door open and bowed down to let me in.
I was not polite, and when I got inside, I looked up and saw a monk in a red robe sitting on a lotus pedestal with his back to us.
This scene surprised me, not that this wet dragon woman behaved.
Rather, it is because he is not sitting on a Buddhist futon, but on a lotus base.
In my impression, the only people who can bear the lotus base are monks who have attained enlightenment, such as bodhisattvas and Buddhas, and even arhats in Buddhism cannot do so.
It is obviously impossible for Shilong Po to really become a Buddha, and I think this is because the customs of Thai Buddhism are different from those of Middle-earth Buddhism.
At this time, Arati stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the back of Shilong Po, and then said, "Master, the Holy Son has arrived. ” Shi Longpo didn't move for a few seconds, and only after a few seconds did she stand up, turn her head, and didn't speak, just looked me up and down with a pair of dim eyes.
He looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, in good spirits, and hung a string of Buddhist beads on his chest, on which were engraved with complex Sanskrit characters.
One glance at these Sanskrit words made me feel strange.
I've been dealing with Buddhism a lot lately, so I've been studying Buddhism as well.
As far as I know, Thai Buddhism is Theravada Buddhism, also known as Southern Buddhism and Pali Buddhism.
Naturally, the scriptures they wrote were in Pali, but why was it in Sanskrit on the beads of this Shilong Va?
It is said that Chinese Buddhism says that Sanskrit was created by Brahma, the patron god of Buddhism.
Sanskrit is a language of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-Iranian language family of the Indo-European language family, and is one of the oldest languages in the Indo-European language family.
Although India and Thailand are not far apart, and Buddhist cultures can influence and understand each other, the writing of the scriptures is very different.
Recalling the scenes I saw earlier in the courtyard and Arati talking with Shiryupo in Chinese, combined with this Sanskrit Buddha bead, it is clear that this Shiryupo must have a great connection with Buddhism in China.
While I was thinking about it, the wet dragon woman finally spoke, and after bowing respectfully to me, she said, "Sir, please take a seat." ” His Chinese characters are round and fluent, which seems to confirm my previous suspicions.
And the title he used in his mouth was very different, not the Holy Son, nor the benefactor, but called me "sir", which made me quite novel.
I nodded, looked down and saw only a futon in front of him, so I sat down cross-legged.
After taking a seat, Shilong Po beckoned Arathi to serve me tea, and there was not much meaning of Buddhism in his demeanor, but there was no lack of secular etiquette.
I didn't care, so I took the tea from Arati's hand and savored it.
At this time, Shilong Po continued, "A few years ago, I heard Arati say that I met someone who was recognized by the power of the Nine Spirits in Shenzhen, China.
When I saw him today, Mr. was really extraordinary. ” His polite words were beautiful, and I didn't take it to heart, so I arched my hand politely and said with a smile, "On that day, I agreed with Arathi for a year to visit your temple.
However, after that, he was entangled in mundane affairs and missed the agreed period.
I hope that the master will not be blamed for coming here this time. ” He smiled and shook his head, saying that I have the approval of the power of the Nine Spirits, so I don't need to be so humble, I can come to the Jade Buddha Temple at any time.
I saw that this wet dragon woman was so understanding, but I didn't formalize it anymore.
The rest of the conversation consisted of small talk, mostly about the situation of the monks in the country.
Naturally, there is nothing to hide about these things, and Arati has been to China and obviously has a general understanding of this.
I also took this opportunity to ask him why he knew so much about Huaxia, and by the way, I mentioned the lotus base.
The wet dragon woman still smiled faintly, and answered the questions I raised one by one.
According to him, when he was still Azan, he traveled around China and exchanged Buddhism with many famous monks.
In the process, he came into contact with Chinese metaphysics, which he was personally very interested in, and studied Chinese metaphysics while exchanging Buddhism with Buddhist monks in China.
It didn't take long to be fascinated.

He then stayed in China for ten years before returning to the Jade Buddha Temple.
Now that he is in his old age, he often thinks of some things back then, so he keeps asking me about domestic affairs.
It was about the same as I guessed, and I nodded, not mindful.
As for the lotus base, it is because of the tradition of the Jade Buddha Temple.
Nasturtium is the national flower of Thailand, often used in a variety of large-scale sacrifices, celebrations, such as the construction of cities, etc., the army will go out to fight will also be the gold chain flower inserted above the military flag, meaning triumphant return, Thai people also like to plant gold chain flowers in front of the house and behind the house, gold chain flowers have always been a symbol of good luck in Thai culture.
As the highest temple in Thailand, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha naturally enjoys the highest standard of treatment.
Therefore, as early as the beginning of the construction of the Jade Buddha Temple, the then king gave the golden lotus base to the first abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple at that time, and let him use it as a mantle inheritance.
In other temples in Thailand, all monks are not allowed to enjoy the lotus base, and they must be seen by the head of the Emerald Buddha Temple.
Therefore, the golden lotus base of this Jade Buddha Temple is not only a symbol of status, but also a symbol of power.
When I heard this, I realized that this Thai Buddhism is different from that of China, in a sense, it has a strong WTO accession color, not only faith, but also politics.
This kind of thing is easy to understand, but with my cultivation at this time, I am no longer in the red dust, and I don't care much about this kind of thing.
In fact, I came here for the sole purpose of Tai Sui, in order to improve my cultivation and reach the Yang God realm as soon as possible, which is extraordinary.
It's just that this is the territory of the wet dragon woman, he didn't talk about it for a long time, and I don't know how to mention it for a while, after all, the power of the nine spirits is the treasure of the Jade Buddha Temple, and I still have to come up with a safe way.
Seeing that I was silent, Shilong Po seemed to know what I was thinking, and took the initiative to ask me with a smile, whether I came this time to observe the power of the Nine Spirits.
I was naturally overjoyed when I heard this, and hurriedly told him that I came this time because I had encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, and I wondered if I could have an epiphany when I was observing the power of the Nine Spirits.
After hearing my words, Shiryu Po did not respond immediately, but stared at me, as if she wanted to probe my strength.
After a while, he looked inconvenienced and continued to ask, "Your Excellency's strength poor monk can't see through it, it must be that he is about to advance to Longpu." ” Before I could reply, I was preempted by Arati, and he said to Shilong Po, "Master, you asked me to go to Wulong Biman Palace to investigate the situation, and it was the Holy Son and the people of Jinshan Temple who were fighting, and the Holy Son almost killed Nalong Po Kui. ” After hearing this, Shi Long Po was not surprised, maybe he also knew how strong that Long Po Kui was.
Since he couldn't even find out my cultivation, it wasn't surprising that Long Po Kui was defeated at my hands.
It's just that he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said that the reason why he asked Arati to investigate the situation before was because he sensed the breath of Dao Qi.
But I didn't expect that the person who emitted the aura of Dao Qi would be me.
Now that I have been recognized by the power of the Nine Spirits, why do I still use Dao Qi?
Since Shilong Po has been in China for ten years, she must know that Chinese monks are all cultivators.
He knew that I could use the power of the Nine Spirits, which was also what Arati had seen at the Shenzhen Exchange Competition.
It's just that at that time, I was just using the ink bead that Xiao Jin gave me, and I hadn't really cultivated Wu Qi yet.
So, he didn't know that I could cultivate two energies at the same time.
This matter has already spread in China, and there is no need to hide it.
Since he was so curious, I told him why.
I never thought that after listening to the two kinds of aura in my body, Shilong Po could still practice at the same time.
His face looked very surprised, and not only that, but his whole body was trembling, and he didn't know whether he was excited or afraid.
After a long silence, the wet dragon woman suddenly knelt down to me and shouted loudly, "Meet the messenger." ”
