Chapter 71 Danyideqin Festival - Zhuba Jersey

Ruxing Village.

Today is July 7th, which is also the fourth day of the sixth lunar month in the Tibetan calendar. It is a very special festival——

Danyi Deqin Festival, also called Chaoshan Festival, is called "Zhubaze" in Tibetan. In the history and culture of the XZ people, today is the day when Sakyamuni Buddha dictated the "Four Great Sutras", the day when the Dharma Wheel was first turned, and it is also a day for the Tibetan people. One of the four most important holy days of the year.

It is said that the merit of chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha today is several times that of ordinary days.

On this day, Zangchuan Buddhism will hold a special Dharma meeting today to accumulate merit.

So today's tourists are not awakened by the aroma of tsampa and pastry for breakfast, but by the sound of chanting sutras and Buddha and turning prayer wheels.

Among them, the houses without tourists are beating Tibetan drums while reciting scriptures.

As for the butter lamps, they were already lit as early as the early morning.

So when Chen Mu came straight to Awang's house, what he saw was wearing new clothes, preparing food, and preparing to go to the Zangchuan Buddhist Temple located in the center of Haisi Huahai to pay pilgrimage to the Buddha, chant sutras, light lamps, and then eat outdoors , a family of singing and dancing.

In the yard, three men, Grandpa Dorje, Ngawang and Dorje, were wearing top hats that Tibetans usually wear in summer.

Gesang wears a ba-zhu on his head.

Dorji Shangmu (sister) just braided her hair and put on a beautiful top hat because she hadn't held the "Phazhu Ceremony" yet.

Seeing Chen Mu coming in, Duoji jumped up happily to meet him.

"Brother Chen Mu, I forgot to ask you for leave in advance. Today is Zhuba Jersey. I want to go to Buddha to light lamps with my father and father."

Chen Mu nodded in agreement as usual.

There is no way, anyone who has studied in Qingzhou for more than ten years will be forced to get used to it.

Because the holidays are different, he has heard countless reasons for asking for leave after going to school for more than ten years:

For example, students who have a pasture at home will ask for leave every spring and winter when they move to pasture. The reason for taking leave is also very consistent - to go home and help herd cattle and sheep.

For example, Uyghur students will ask for a day off every year for the meat festival in April to go back to celebrate the festival...

For example, Kazakh students will also ask for leave on the Novuruz festival around March 3...

Therefore, it is very common to use "holiday" as an excuse to take leave.

No one could have imagined how out of place the Xia people could be among them.

Chen Mu still remembers it.

The ethnic minority students in the class have holidays together such as Dragon Boat Festival, May Day, Labor Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day.

When they have their own holidays, they can continue to take vacations, and the vacations range from one day to half a month. Apart from the traditional holidays, Xia students who can only ask for leave when they are sick are very angry.

Thinking of the past, Chen Mu felt a little melancholy.

"Go ahead, I'll give you a day off today."

"Good!" Duoji happily returned to Ngawang's side.

Awang shook his head and patted his little head.

Just at this time, the tourists who stayed overnight at Awang's house yesterday and had breakfast opened the curtain and looked at the scene curiously.

"Boss Chen, what are they doing?"

Chen Mu greeted him with a smile.

"Today is a special festival for Tibetans - the Chaoshan Festival. They dress up and go to worship Buddha and light lanterns."

He simply explained it to the tourists.

"Oh." The tourist nodded, and then looked curiously at the prayer wheel spinning in Grandpa Dorje's hand.

Normally, Chen Mu would dare to go up and borrow a prayer wheel for tourists to see, but today...

Forget it, I saw the prayer wheel at the temple yesterday anyway. The prayer wheel is just a small handheld one, so don’t look at it.

He calmly blocked their sight with his body and said with a smile: "Everyone, did you have a good rest last night? Let's get ready. Today's trip will start soon."

I heard that today I can live in a grassland and sleep in a yurt, which the male and female tourists have been looking forward to for a long time.

Hearing this, I didn't want to look at the prayer wheel anymore, so I opened the curtain, took my girlfriend's hand and went back to the house to pack my things.

The female tourist pouted, reluctant to look at the Bazhu on top of Gesang's head, and pouted: "I want that, and the butter lamp from yesterday. Let's buy one and take it back."

As the two of them went upstairs, they could only vaguely hear the doting voice of the male tourist: "Okay, I'll do whatever you want..."

"hiss!"

Chen Single Dog trembled directly.

The taste of being fed a mouthful of dog food early in the morning is really indescribable.

Turning around, he said apologetically to Awang who was wearing new clothes: "Brother Awang, please wait a little longer, I'll rush the other tourists."

Today, Tibetans usually go out to temples early, but now it is actually a bit late.

"It's okay, don't worry." Awang replied with a smile.

Chen Mu smiled back in thanks, then quickly went out and went to the homes of other Tibetans.

Behind him, Gesang anxiously looked at the time, then looked at Awang who was not in a hurry, and poked him.

"Awang, weren't you always in a hurry at this time before?" Why aren't you in a hurry today?
Awang patted her hand, looked at Abba who was turning the prayer wheel with his eyes closed and still reciting scriptures silently, and whispered.

"You see, dad isn't even in a hurry!"

Immediately, he said seriously: "These tourists are our valued guests, and it is right to wait for them."

Moreover, they brought money, what if no tourists are willing to come in the future because of today's incident!
After all, the reception fee of 300 per person is really a lot for them.

So just wait for a while.

There are quite a few people who have the same idea as Awang, especially the seven families who receive tourists. When Chen Mu arrived, they were all smiling, and they didn't look like they were in a hurry to go to the temple to make a pilgrimage to the Buddha.

Because the tourists all got up, as soon as they said it, they all went to their respective cars with anticipation.

The only one who was delayed for too long was a single tourist.

He was an acquaintance. He had only stayed for one night and was very familiar with the family.

When Chen Mu arrived, the other party was turning the prayer wheel in his hands auspiciously, closing his eyes, and chanting along with the people around him sentence by sentence!
Seeing this scene, whether Chen Mu stepped forward or waited, he walked around anxiously.

The prayer wheel is an important instrument in Zangchuan Buddhism. It is said that when you hold the prayer wheel and chant the Buddha, you can calm the greed, hatred and troubles in life, and get rid of all untimely death and suffering.You can get unconfessed wisdom, fame and fortune without diligence, life extension and many other merits.

In addition, the practice is for the next life, and today is one of the four holy days. The merits of using the prayer wheel to chant sutras today are several times the usual.

So at this moment, Chen Mu really didn't dare to disturb her.

"Boss Chen, have you had breakfast? Do you want to join us in today's Zhuba Jersey?"

At this moment, Xili (son) of this family came out of the house with the food he had prepared, and saw Chen Mu who was standing there, hesitant to go forward.

Looking at the last tourist who opened his eyes after being reminded by the voice, Chen Mu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally stopped!

He declined with a smile: "No, brother Tsering, we have to go to see the ice waterfall today." Then he greeted the old man with a smile.

Knowing that Xia people rarely go with them, Tsering, who just said something casually, did not continue to invite.

But the handsome guy who had been chanting sutras for a long time was very moved when he heard this.

"I can go with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mu directly grabbed the person, picked up the backpack placed next to him, turned around and walked out of the yard.

joke.

Follow the group, leave the team halfway to play by yourself or follow the group?
And what about the next itinerary?
Don’t think about getting out again with the travel expenses that went into his pocket!
Moreover, the northwest is a large place with many wild animals. For safety’s sake, it’s better to follow the group.

Tour guide Chen thought very responsibly.
