Before the Thai Buddhist Treasure Fair began, news came that shocked the world.

Thailand's first living Buddha, Long Gu Po, passed away suddenly. After the Thai people learned the news, they cried for seven days and seven nights, and the farewell procession was as long as 16 kilometers.

Long Gu Po's life is a legendary one. It is said that after he became a Buddhist, he devoted himself to practicing Buddhism for 28 years and suddenly achieved enlightenment.

Then he began to travel around the world, preaching Buddhism and raising funds for charity.

During the eight-year tour, Long Gu Po raised 6 billion baht, equivalent to 1.2 billion RMB.

He donated all the money to improve healthcare and education in Thailand.

It is precisely because of this money, especially the part spent on education, that Thailand's economy has gradually risen.

From being poor and weak, we have now become well-fed and well-clothed.

This is a great monk who deserves the admiration of everyone.

Of course, those who understand the Thai social system cannot help but feel curious while expressing their nostalgia.

Since Long Gu Po has passed away, who will be the new Buddhist in Thailand?

Does the other party have the ability to promote Thai Buddhist culture like Long Gu Po did?

Fu Song naturally didn't know all this. After he agreed to serve as a Buddhist disciple, eminent monks from major temples soon gathered at the Reclining Buddha Temple.

Amidst the melodious Zen chanting, the eminent monks held a grand coronation ceremony for him.

After being successfully crowned, Fu Song felt that everyone looked at him with much friendlier eyes, perhaps it was an illusion.

Prasong began to introduce: "This is Luang Pu Pan, the abbot of the Grand Palace."

Luang Pu Pan is an old man in his seventies. He wears a tall Thai monk's hat and his inlaid gold teeth can be seen when he smiles.

Fu Song saluted quickly and the other party returned the salute.

Prasong: "This is Luang Pu Yuet, the abbot of Wat Phra Kaew."

Luang Pu Yuet is younger, but still around sixty years old.

Of course, unlike Luang Pu Yue’s yellow hat, the silk ribbon on his hat is red.

Next came Luang Pu Zhou, the abbot of Wat Yunshi, Luang Pu Yan, the abbot of Chitralada Palace, and Luang Pu Tong, the abbot of Ananda Palace.

Of course, there are countless other eminent monks.

But in Fu Song's eyes, apart from the Thai old men wearing various monk hats and robes, there was nothing else that made any difference.

Including their names, I didn’t even remember a single one.

After introducing them one by one, Fu Song and Basong returned to the meditation room prepared for him in the Reclining Buddha Temple and couldn't help asking:

“Why do all the senior monks here have a character added after Luang Pu?

Is this a special rule?"

Basong nodded and said: “Only Buddhist disciples and monks who have practiced for more than fifty years are qualified to receive the title of Luang Pu.

It’s a symbol of status and nobility.”

Fu Song scratched his head: "Is that so? Then should I also choose a pen name with Luang Pu in it, such as Luang Pu Song?"

Basong smiled and said, "Yes, I will inform the abbots of all the major temples about this Buddhist name."

Fu Song was about to speak when he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait, if you say so, Long Gu Po should actually be called Long Po Gu, right?

But why do people call her Grandma Long?"

“That’s right, when Long Gu Po first inherited the Buddha’s throne, she was indeed called Long Po Gu.

However, he believed that his understanding of Buddhism was far inferior to that of other eminent monks and did not dare to accept the honorific title of Luang Pu.

Due to personal identity, the two words "Luang Po" could not be removed, so it was changed to "Long Gu Po."

Fu Song immediately said: "Even Aunt Long doesn't dare to use her identity, so I, who knows nothing, would be even more afraid.

So I can’t call myself Luang Phor Song, but Luang Phor Song…

Forget it, I'll just call myself Luang Pu Song. Luang Pu Song sounds like an old lady to me."

After talking about the Buddhist mantras, Fu Song suddenly said with a shameless face: "Master Basong, since I am already your Buddhist disciple, can I ask those monks outside for help with something?"

Prasong: "What do you need them to do? Luang Pu Song can just give the order.

You are now a child of Buddha, and they are all under your command."

Fu Song was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Really? I can order them to do anything?"

Basong nodded: "Of course, but as everyone's spiritual leader, I'd ask them to be mindful of their identities before doing anything."

Basong’s meaning is very clear, some things can be done, but they must never be excessive.

For example, asking those monks to dance square dance together is a bit outrageous.

Basong heard that the old men and women in China like to dance square dance the most.

Fu Song laughed heartily: "Don't worry, it's not excessive, not excessive at all."

After saying that, he winked at Jin Xiaobei, who immediately pulled a box over.

Fu Song opened the box, and inside were a dozen or so wooden boxes.

The wooden boxes come in different sizes, the big ones are over half a meter long and the small ones are less than the size of a palm.

Fu Song took out a small one, opened the lid, and found a Guanyin pendant inside.

The pendant is carved from jadeite, and the material is actually the extremely rare glass-type imperial green.

The Guanyin is crystal clear and lifelike, and you can tell at a glance that it is worth a fortune.

The moment Fu Song opened the lid of the box, even though Basong had been studying Buddhism for decades and had long been indifferent to everything, his eyes lit up.

He is a connoisseur of value and this item alone is worth no less than tens of millions.

Fortunately, the next moment, he realized that his mind was in turmoil, and he quickly chanted a few Buddhist mantras:

"I didn't expect that a Buddhist disciple would have such a rare treasure that is destined for me... uh..."

Unexpectedly, he got stuck before he could finish his words.

Because Fu Song opened other wooden boxes, which were filled with various pendant ornaments carved from glass-type imperial green.

If these things were converted into Thai baht, they would probably be worth more than 10 billion.
