Chapter 98 The Concealed Truth
Luo Ning sat on the lotus platform cross-legged and consciously accepted the tantra practice taught by Master Nima Ciren in the nine-dimensional space.
And next to Luo Ning, in the Sutra Pavilion of the Jokhang Temple, Xiuxiu stared at Master Nima Ciren and stared at him with an extremely suspicious look.
Although Xiuxiu, as the only daughter of the Qin family, has been spoiled since childhood, she is not the kind of domineering and unreasonable woman. She has always respected her father and her father, his only friend, at the beginning.
But since Xiuxiu came back from the Jokhang Temple, his attitude towards Master Nima Ciren suddenly changed.
Master Nima Ciren seems to have guessed something about the sudden change of Xiuxiu. But he did not deliberately quibble and has been avoiding her questions. But the more he did this, the more suspicious the little girl Xiuxiu became.
Now Luo Ning's consciousness is in the nine-dimensional space, so he can't hear the dialogue between Xiuxiu and Master Nima Tsren. Xiuxiu forced again and again, and had to ask Master Nima Tsiren to give a reasonable explanation: Why did Master Nima Tsiren know that the crazy base was in Hoh Xil. What is the next task that Master Nima Ciren said? Why did Master Nima Tsren know the action of the kidnappers who arrested Grandpa...
It seems that Xiuxiu will not easily let go of Master Nima Ciren. In the face of Xiuxiu's many questions, Master Nima Ciren took a deep breath. For a long time, he did not directly answer Xiuxiu's question just raised, but asked Xiuxiu in turn: "Miss Qin. Did you meet the Red Lama in the Potala Palace?
Xiuxiu was stunned, as if Master Nima Ciren said it. Finally, Xiuxiu pointed to Master Nima Ciren angrily and said, "I know. You must send someone to follow me."
That's right. When Luo Ning meditated and entered the [Hell of Heaven], Xiuxiu felt bored, so he went to the Potala Palace alone to relax. When she entered the Potala Palace, she always felt that someone was following her. She suspected that it was a group of Siberian war bears, but she didn't expect it to be a lama. She thought it was the person sent by Master Nima Ciren to protect her, but the lama spoke ill of Master Nima Ciren.
Xiuxiu never believed it. Later, the lama said to her, "Nima Tsren is to get nine-dimensional space. If you don't believe it, then test it yourself. Your every move is under his control, and it is not even too much to say that you are going to be at his mercy.
Xiuxiu asked him who he was, and the lama only answered her: "The Potala Palace, the great lama."
Xiuxiu sat in the Potala Palace Square all afternoon and thought about it all afternoon. Some things the big lama is right. My father did say that Master Nima Tsren is his good friend, but people are separated from each other. Who knows if Master Nima Tsren is so close to his father in order to get the secret of his father's love and madness.
When he returned to Jokhang Temple, Xiu Xiu really tested Master Nima Tsren according to the 'recommendation' of the great lama. When Master Nima Ciren was asked some questions, Master Nima Ciren always deliberately concealed it intentionally or unintentionally. And he also knows Cocosiri's laboratory. This made Xiuxiu believe more in the words of the Great Lama of the Potala Palace - Master Nima Ciren plotted against the crazy family and intended to seize the nine-dimensional space.
"Master Nima Ciren, please forgive the unreasonableness of the younger generation. Please give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise..." Xiuxiu paused and took a long breath: "You are your father's best friend. However, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, we will leave the Jokhang Temple when Luo Ning wakes up.
"Then you don't want to save Mr. Qin?" Master Nima Tsren was suddenly a little excited when he heard that Xiuxiu was leaving. With such a profound cultivation, it is very rare for him to be so excited.
The Siberian War Bear has long sent people to ambush, and I'm afraid that Xiuxiu and Luo Ning have long been their number one catch. If they leave so rashly, they will not only save Mr. Qin, but also encounter accidents. And he, Master Nima Tsren, how to explain to his former friends.
"Grandpa naturally wants to save him. It's just that we don't want to disturb your temple anymore. I can hear that Xiuxiu has begun to treat him as an outsider.
It seems that things can't be concealed.
"All right." Master Nima Tsren took a deep breath: "Miss Qin, before I answer your questions, please allow me to introduce you to the current situation in Tibet - different sects of Tibetan Buddhism."
"Different schools of Tibetan Buddhism?" Xiuxiu didn't seem to understand what Nima Tsren meant. Is Tibetan Buddhism not the same whole?
"Not bad. Tibetan Buddhism mainly includes the four major sects in the early period, such as the Ningma, the Kadang sect, the Saga sect, the Kaju sect, and the late Gelug sect. After the rise of the Gelug faction, the Kadang faction merged into the Gelug faction and did not exist alone.
(Baijiao-Kagu; Flowerjiao-Sajia; Huangjiao-Glu; Redjiao-Ningma, is one of the four major inheritances of Tibetan Buddhism)
As Master Nima Tsren said, only the Ningma School (Red Religion) of Tibetan Buddhism is a native Tibetan Buddhism, and its predecessor is the evolution of the ancient Bon religion that originated in Tibet. The other major sects are Buddhism introduced to Tibet from India when Buddhism flourished in India. Although these Buddhism are collectively known as Tibetan Buddhism, they were not a sect or even antagonistic sect in the early days.
Until liberation, these sects were collectively known as Tibetan Buddhism. Although they are all Buddhism and are a big family in the eyes of outsiders, there are many different teachings and disputes with each other.
This is also the reason why the great lama of the Potala Palace speaks ill of Master Nima Ciren - because of different sects.
"The sect I belong to is the rising star who annexed the Yellow Jiao Ge Lu. And the great lama was originally a native Tibetan red religion, a Ningma sect lama. The Great Lama of the Red Religion is knowledgeable. Since the unification of the country, he has always wanted to unify the four internal inheritances of Tibetan Buddhism. He has made many contributions to the assimilation of the four major inheritances of Tibetan Buddhism.
Just like a divided country, every monarch wants to unify it. The fragmented situation always makes people feel displaced.
"Of course, because he was born in the Red Religion, the teachings of the New Tibetan Buddhism he assimilated focus more on their Red Religion. And the rest of our three inheritances are naturally unconvinced, and sometimes quarrels are inevitable.
"Then why doesn't he speak ill of other lamas and talk about you?" Xiuxiu's question was very targeted. Master Nima Ciren looked at her, shook his head and said, "These things were originally internal affairs of Buddhism and should not be disclosed to outsiders, but when you asked so far, I had to say it. In fact, Jokhang Temple is a temple of the Red Church. I, a disciple of the Yellow Sect, settled in. Although he is superficially kind, I know that his inner things are very disgusting. Because I am the most powerful lama against his new Tibetan Buddhist teachings.
After Master Nima Ciren finished speaking, he put his hands together and piously repented for his mistakes. After listening to his explanation, Xiuxiu did not reduce her inner defense against Master Nima Ciren.
"Even if you have a grudge..."
"We have no hatred, just for the sake of doctrine."
"Well, I don't care what happens to your own family. I just can't figure it out. Why do you know your father's crazy base in Hoh Xil? This is the secret of our family."
"Your father told me."
"Father?" Xiuxiu was even more puzzled. Her father once told him that he had never told outsiders about the crazy base, and even his best friend had never mentioned it.
"But my father once said that he had not revealed it to anyone outside the crazy family." She didn't like to beat around the bush and asked Master Nima Ciren directly.
"He told me the day before yesterday."
"The day before yesterday? Is your father here too?" Xiuxiu was shocked.
"No. Your father..." Master Nima Ciren suddenly felt that he should not have told her this, and his words suddenly stopped again.
Xiuxiu is the girl who doesn't like this. The more Nima Ciren doesn't say anything, the more she feels that something is wrong. She grabbed the corner of Master Nima Ciren's clothes and kept asking, "What's wrong with my father? You said it."
It seems that Xiuxiu can't be concealed now. Nima Tsren shook his head and continued, "Xiuxiu, you must be mentally prepared before I say this. I didn't want to tell you about this, because your father reminded me many times that he couldn't tell you about him..."
"Say it quickly." Xiuxiu suddenly had an ominous foreboding. She interrupted Master Nima Ciren and shouted at him.
Master Nima Ciren was not angry because of Xiuxiu's unreasonableness. He patted Xiuxiu on the shoulder as if to comfort him, and then said, "Your father... It's gone."
It's like five thunderbolts, and suddenly it's like a dream. Xiuxiu, who had just made a lot of noise, was as quiet as death in an instant. After a long time, she summoned up her courage and asked faintly:
"Is it gone? What do you mean?
In fact, Nima Ciren knew that Xiuxiu had understood the meaning of 'no more'. She is just unwilling to prove it. This made it a little difficult for Master Nima Ciren to speak: "The merit is perfect, and the crane has traveled to the west."
In Buddhism, the term "perfect merit" and driving the crane to the west is exactly what it means to die. Xiuxiu is like five thunderbolts.
Master Nima Ciren thought that Xiuxiu would cry, but Xiuxiu did not shed tears. She stared at Master Nima Tsren's eyes like two dry wells.
Master Nima Ciren was a little surprised by Xiuxiu's abnormality.
"How did you die? When did you die? How do you know? What did he tell you again? What's the 'thing' he told you can't let me know?"
Xiuxiu shook her two open palms and quickly finished these words in one breath, as if relieved.
Master Nima Ciren stared at her and was silent for a long time.
I thought Xiuxiu was just a little girl, but judging from her performance today, how could she be comparable to an ordinary little girl?
"Please give me a reasonable explanation, Master Nima Ciren."
Xiuxiu continued to ask, and Master Nima Ciren closed his eyes and recited the sutras for the deceased.
