Chapter 306: Consecration of the Great Treasure Seal
The shock brought to everyone by the interior of the Yuantong Hall was no less than that brought to everyone by the outside just now.
The entire hall was brightly lit. Above the round dome was a huge, bright lotus lantern. Under the lantern, in the main hall sat a golden statue of a Bodhisattva, looking extremely solemn.
In front of the Buddha is a huge round dark red altar with some cushions placed on it, and many people are worshiping the Buddha devoutly.
After Song Tang and his party had visited the entire Yuantong Palace, they also came here. After going through the process, Song Tang personally stepped onto the Buddhist altar, respectfully came to an empty cushion, clasped his hands together and knelt down devoutly.
The two ladies also found empty spaces on both sides of her and knelt down together. It was unknown what wish Song Tang made in her heart to the golden statue of Bodhisattva in front of her, but in any case, her eyes were shining with stars after she came down.
After waiting for Song Tang to let Zhao Qi and Zhao Rui worship Buddha, everyone went to find the elevator to go up to the foot of Nanhai Daguanyin. As for Qiongying, she declined Song Tang politely, as people like them did not believe in these ghosts and gods.
Taking the elevator to the foot of the Nanhai Guanyin, Song Tang felt the enormity of the Guanyin statue only when he stood in front of one of its toes.
At this moment, she was holding a statue toe that had been touched until it glowed and faded. Just one toe of the Guanyin statue was as high as her chest, and Song Tang, who was lying on it, was not even as big as the fingernail of the Bodhisattva...
Song Tang smiled foolishly while hugging the huge toe of the Buddha, and asked Zhao Rui to take a lot of photos of her. After everyone hugged the Buddha's toe one by one, they began to look down and appreciate the scenery of the entire scenic area from this high place.
Song Tang pointed to a crowded place in the distance and asked excitedly, "What's that over there? Why are there so many people?"
Mrs. Qin put her arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "That's Nanshan Temple. Let's visit the Nanhai Guanyin here first, and then we'll go there in a while."
Song Tang nodded upon hearing this, and took the two ladies to take a lot of beautiful photos at this beautiful high place.
After the group got off the elevator, Song Tang, who was about to walk towards the sightseeing car, was stopped by Mrs. Ning, "Little guy, why are you in such a hurry? There is another item."
Song Tang was curious and was led by Madam Ning to the left side of the Yuantong Hall. It turned out that this was the place where one could have the ceremony consecrated and sealed for free. If Madam Ning hadn't pulled her over, she would have missed it.
After waiting in line for a while, Song Tang received a handkerchief-sized printed cloth. There were red lines on the bright yellow cloth, and the words "Guanyin of the South China Sea" were written on it.
No wonder it is called the Great Seal of Consecration. When it was almost Song Tang's turn, she saw it clearly and realized that it was really a big stone seal. Judging from the expressions of other tourists who had tried it themselves, the thing should not be light.
"That seal weighs nearly fifty kilograms. You can tell from the effort the person in front is putting in. Are you going to try to seal it yourself later?" Mrs. Qin on the side may have seen Song Tang's curiosity and doubts, so she explained to her softly.
"Fifty kilograms?" Song Tang was a little emotional for a moment, but soon he cheered up, "I have to cover it myself, it's just fifty kilograms, it's easy to handle."
Seeing Song Tang's funny look, everyone around him smiled slightly. The little girl really thought that 50 kilograms was very light. She would know how heavy it was when she tried it herself.
Soon it was Song Tang's turn. Madam Ning and Madam Qin asked their bodyguards to help them build the house, but Song Tang encouraged himself to build it himself.
Seeing that everyone’s seals were different, Song Tang personally picked out a large seal with the word “Fu” on it.
Many people around saw that Song Tang, a young girl, was about to do it herself, and they all looked over with curiosity.
Qiongying stood beside Song Tang and stretched out her hands to protect him, to prevent the young lady from slipping her hands and hurting herself.
The result was that everyone was dumbfounded. Song Tang reached out and held the depressions on both sides of the seal. He pressed his body against it and supported it with his waist and abdomen. He exerted force with his arms and hummed softly.
He used both arms to exert force while holding his waist and abdomen together, and actually used his clever strength to lift the "Fu" seal a little bit.
Zhao Qi, who was beside him, quickly moved the bright yellow printed cloth that had been laid out in advance under the big seal that Song Tang was holding.
Song Tang adjusted the seal slightly and aligned it with the cloth, then gently placed it down. The seal was thus sealed.
Seeing Song Tang with a little sweat on her head and a flushed face, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Ning walked up to her and gave her an encouraging hug.
What a strong girl...
When leaving the Nanhai Guanyin on the sightseeing bus, Song Tang looked back at the huge statue that was gradually moving away with some emotion. She still held tightly in her hand the seal of consecration that she had personally sealed. She would come again in the future...
On the way from the Nanhai Great Guanyin Statue to the Nanshan Villa, they passed the Longevity Valley. This shady spot was very suitable for a break and rest, but Song Tang and his friends had been riding in a sightseeing bus all the way and did not need to rest at all.
So when I passed by here, I just got off the car, took a quick look around, took some photos and left.
Soon the sightseeing bus arrived at Nanshan Villa. At the suggestion of the two ladies, Song Tang and his party first went to the Thirty-three Guanyin Hall opposite Nanshan Villa.
The architectural style of the Thirty-three Guanyin Hall is just like the Buddhist style, solemn and dignified. Inside the Guanyin Hall are the thirty-three incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The thirty-three incarnation statues have different shapes, are magnificent, exquisite and spectacular.
After devoutly burning incense in front of the hall, Song Tang was also led to copy a passage of scriptures here for free. Although he didn't understand it very well, Song Tang inexplicably felt that he was calm and clear-minded when copying the scriptures, without any distractions.
After visiting and experiencing all the Thirty-three Guanyin Halls, Song Tang felt that he was full of the scent of incense, which smelled quite good.
Opposite the Thirty-three Guanyin Hall is the famous Nanshan Courtyard, which is famous because it is a place where you can ask for fortunes and have them interpreted.
Young people nowadays believe in these things or not, but will try them out when they come across them, so Song Tang is no exception.
It should be said that Song Tang had good luck when he started, and he got a very good lot on his first draw. Of course, the draw was free.
But when interpreting the fortune, money is required, and the amount is up to your heart. After Zhao Qi stepped forward to help throw the money for merit, the interpreter took the best fortune from Song Tang.
After taking a deep look at Song Tang, who was looking expectant, the fortune teller simply said some formulaic blessings, such as a safe and smooth life, good fortune and a happy life.
Like other pilgrims, Song Tang also loved to hear these words. After hearing the interpretation of the divination sticks, she happily took her own lot and stuffed a lot of money into the donation box.
People nowadays don't have much cash on hand, but the two ladies had already thought of this when they decided to come to Nanshan Temple, and naturally they went to the bank to withdraw a lot of cash on the way.
As for the bank's requirement to make an appointment to withdraw large amounts of cash? That depends on who you are. The leader of the Qiongzhou Island Commercial Bank where they withdrew the cash almost drove over to deliver the money to Song Tang himself.
In addition to Song Tang, the two ladies also had good horoscopes. Song Tang even pushed everyone in his entourage to come forward and try it out. How could they come here for nothing?
The two ladies also watched with smiles as she interacted lively with the people around her.
You must know that after passing the non-dual Dharma door, all beings are equal here.
