Section 260 Little Novice(2/2)
This is the belief and tradition of the Dai people. Usually when a boy reaches the age of eight, he enters the temple to become a novice monk, where he learns the knowledge of his nation. After completing his studies, he can choose to continue practicing in the temple or return to secular life. Therefore, in the Banna area, he can often
It is normal to see a little monk playing games with a little girl. After all, he is not yet an adult and is not a monk in the true sense.
The word "Pa" is not his real name, but a monk's name with religious significance given to him by his master after he became a novice monk.
When you become an adult and return to secular life, you will change again.
After all, Yanpa was a child. Even though he was wearing a cassock, he could not change his greedy nature. He bowed to everyone in the room, then walked to the cabinet, picked up a piece of maltose on the plate, licked it, and wanted to stuff it.
When he put it in his mouth, he found that everyone was looking at him, so he touched the top of his bare head sheepishly and put the candy back in its place.
The village chief, Yan Xiang, was so amused by his actions that he quickly said: "Eat, eat! This is in your own home, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. If eating is not enough, I will buy more for you."
Yanpa quickly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, ran to his father and sat down, smiling innocently without saying a word.
Yan Han looked sideways at his son and asked doubtfully, "Why did you come back today? Does the master know?"
According to custom, once a Dai boy becomes a novice monk, he will have food and accommodation in the temple. If he does not get permission from the master, he cannot go home.
After all, this is a kind of spiritual practice.
Yanpa nodded: "Master asked me to come back. There are rumors in the temple that someone has died in the village, and the police are checking from house to house. Master asked us to come back to cooperate with the investigation, and we will go back at night after we finish questioning."
Monks are also keeping pace with the times. In fact, this approach is very smart. There are dozens of people in a temple, and by the time the questions are finished, it is already dark. It is better to give the young novices a half-day holiday and go back to their respective homes.
Save yourself the trouble.
