Not called Lama. In Tibetan Buddhism, "Lama" really means "guru". Not all Tibetan monks can be called "Lama", just like in a university, there are tens of thousands of students and dozens of professors.
Ordinary Tibetan monks are generally called "Zaba". But don't write "Zaba", many people will be dumbfounded and think it is Tashi's brother.
I asked again and again and mentioned the "treasure chest".
A kind of "auspicious town wealth" in Tibetan tradition.
There is a tradition of making "treasure chest" among Tibetans, which is generally more common in families; There are also temples, but one is in the form of a temple group, not a monk.
Many treasure boxes are customized by themselves.
Find a reliable carpenter, choose good wood that is not easy to be moth-eaten and twisted, and then draw auspicious patterns and colorful gold threads.
Then, prepare the origin of treasures everywhere-such as pearls, corals, agates, turquoise, gold jewelry and silver jewelry, whatever is precious is precious anyway.
When you are ready, you can invite monks.
Generally speaking, at least four monks-the number of monks who make up a group-come to their home to study for about three days.
(I asked if the financial nerve is the yellow god of wealth or the white god of wealth? The monk said, Huang Caishen. )
When monks are obsessed with money in Buddhist temples, one of the links is boxing. While reading a book, I put all kinds of wealth origins in the box.
The middle position of the box is fixed. It is a small bowl with eight auspicious patterns, which is filled with ghee.
First, boil the ghee and fill a small bowl. After the ghee is solidified, put the small bowl in the middle of the treasure chest (it can't be emptied, which is a bad reason). You can put all kinds of jewelry, highland barley and whole grains next to it.
After putting it away, the box will be sealed and will not be opened again this year.
The first time, it takes three days to repair the treasure chest.
In the second, third and subsequent years, you only need to study for one day. I also read the scriptures in the Buddhist temple, while watching the rituals of Huang Caishen, while opening the box at that specific link and adding things to it.
What is put in a treasure chest is generally not taken out again, which is similar to the concept of "treasure house". So you won't be particularly full the first time, or you won't be able to fit it later. Tea (Tibetan tea) will also be put a little, because the tea will shrink a little in the second year, which is convenient for adding new things.
Newcomers are usually jewelry and highland barley.
In Tibet, highland barley and grain must be released. Even if the price is not comparable to jewelry.
Because it means a bumper harvest.
The monk thought for a moment and said, "But highland barley can't be released in the Han Dynasty. The Han dynasty was too humid, and the grains would be infested with insects. "
I thought about it. Many people in Tibetan areas are farmers, so a good harvest is very important. But in Korea, most of us don't work hard and don't care about food, okay? ...
Then, outside the treasure chest, there is usually a photo of Zambala, the God of Wealth or Fort Mani.
Manibao, explain to new friends that this is similar to the "seven-colored flower" or "Aladdin magic lamp" in Buddhism. It gives you whatever you want, and its function is much more powerful than the "magic lamp": it can not only produce all kinds of treasures, clothes and diets you want, but also cure diseases, and it will not be burned or poisoned.
The outer surface of the treasure chest will be covered with manibao, usually a full plate, like a pile of pearls.
As the name implies, the treasure chest plays the role of "lucky money" and "town wealth". With it, not only will wealth be attracted, but wealth will not be lost, only more and more.
Tibetans believe this very much, and they will put some ancient treasures handed down from their families in it.
Today, I asked a well-known Tibetan monk about the treasure chest and wrote it as an anecdote.
It suddenly occurred to me that I could make my own treasure chest.
Find a wooden box or customize it, and then stick a "Manibao" sticker. Although there is no condition to invite monks at home to study money, you can pay attention to the "lucky money comes from treasure" sold in some temples (some are free but need to touch time; Some of them have been sold for a long time, such as Jubao Pills in Zaji Temple in Lhasa. There are also some old coins, jewelry and the like, which can be put in.
Then the next year, the third year, I added something myself. Just add and don't take.
Probably, it is difficult to work out a treasure chest.
It's better to have a lock on the box, so that it can be locked up and won't be looked at curiously by outsiders.
But the monk said that traditionally, instead of locking the box with a lock, they folded a piece of white cloth several times, covered it from top to bottom, then dipped the end of the white cloth in an oil from Lhasa and stuck it together. This is an ancient "lock"
