Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 250 Offering lamps!

After the plane landed in Dar es Salaam, Wang Lu simply rented two cars and drove the group to the Chinese Buddhist temple according to the information in the local newspaper.

On the way, Wang Lushun also retrieved some information about this Buddhist temple. At first, Wang Lu thought it was some kind of gimmick, but it turned out that it was really a serious Buddhist temple, and it was registered with the Domestic Buddhist Association. That kind, and it has been officially certified by both parties, and it can be regarded as an overseas dojo of a famous domestic temple.

This Buddhist temple named Tanhua Temple is located in the suburbs of Dar es Salaam. Wang Lu also spent a lot of effort to find the place. After all, the religions practiced by the local people are mainly Christianity and Islam. Even The vast majority of people don’t know anything about Chinese Buddhism.

When Wang Lu arrived by car, he discovered that the temple was located on the coast. From a distance, there were just a few ordinary buildings, but some decorations with Buddhist characteristics could still be seen.

The old couple couldn't wait to get out of the car, and then Wang Lu also heard the sound of chanting from the temple.

But after walking inside, Wang Lu was surprised to find that the chanting sounds were actually made by a group of black children.

Wang Lu and his party also quickly attracted the attention of people inside the temple. Immediately, several strong black women came out and looked over, but they only stared at Wang Lu and his party.

It wasn't until a white man wearing volunteer uniform came out and communicated with Wang Lu in English that Wang Lu revealed his identity and purpose of coming.

After the other party learned that Wang Lu and his party came to worship Buddha, they immediately became enthusiastic.

"Oh, I should have seen it earlier. You are Chinese, and your religion is practiced here! But anyway, you are welcome! My name is Chio Dison, and I am currently working as a volunteer in this religious temple. I will ask the host in a moment Sir, come see you!"

This white volunteer named Chio Dison's English still has a slight accent. He should not be a native English speaker, but rather seems to be from a European country.

Soon, Wang Lu met the abbot of the temple, a Chinese monk wearing a yellow robe. He seemed to be about 40 years old and dressed simply.

The mage named Xianhong also warmly received Wang Lu and his party, and immediately introduced this Buddhist temple built on the land of Africa to Wang Lu and the old couple.

"Our temple has always been built with the help of our local Chinese and overseas Chinese. Recently, you are the first batch of new faces. You are also destined to be connected with Buddha!"

Master Xianhong smiled enthusiastically, and Wang Lu also asked the question in his heart. After all, those black children and European volunteers are invisible in the country.

"Our temple also takes in some nearby orphans or local children from poor families, and teaches them some Chinese and Buddhist culture. The volunteers also come voluntarily."

Hearing this, Wang Lu was in awe, especially after learning that the operation of the entire temple relied on donations from overseas Chinese.

After all, the local people are generally poor, and even wealthy people will not donate to foreign religions such as Chinese Buddhist temples.After the old couple learned that there was a Dharma Hall in the temple dedicated to burning incense and offering lamps to believers, they immediately expressed their intention to pay their respects and fulfill their vows.

Of course, Wang Lu also expressed his willingness to donate [-] US dollars to the Tanhua Temple, which also bought the couple the two largest altar lamps, which made the couple very satisfied.

In addition to offering real money and silver, the old couple immediately expressed their intention to donate some supplies after seeing the food conditions of the local black orphans.

This also made Master Xianhong very happy. After all, there were 40 local orphans in the entire temple. In addition, he and another master from the same temple, as well as volunteers and specially hired people to cook for the temple There must be about 50 workers, so even the cost of meals every day is a big expense.

His parents all told Wang Lu that the son would have to pay for it, but this time he was much more willing and immediately offered to donate [-] tons of potatoes and a batch of potato vermicelli!
He was worried about what to do with the potatoes that had been harvested in the pasture. Instead of piling them up in the pasture, he might as well accumulate some merit for the old couple.

In addition, Wang Lu also promised a batch of other living supplies, with a total value of several thousand dollars.

If it weren't for the fact that meat was not allowed in the temple, Wang Lu could even ask Harris to purchase a batch of meat and send it over.

In this way, after visiting the temple and having a vegetarian meal, Wang Lu and his party also left the Tanhua Temple before nightfall.

In the middle, the old couple quietly looked for Zhou Rou and said something, which made Zhou Rou blush again. Then the old couple ran to find the host again, seeming to be asking something, Wang Lu also learned from Wang Wei that the old couple asked Zhou Rou for their birthdays and asked Master Xianhong to help them test their fate!
Wang Lu knew the final result with all his ass. It was impossible for Master Xianhong to say anything like "unsuitable" from Master Xianhong's mouth. Naturally, he had to choose the right word. After all, if this was the case, Wang Lu I have no doubt that the old couple can take back all the previous offerings!

Fortunately, the master is also very wise. He spoke some Buddhist verses that were shrouded in clouds and mountains, and said them in pleasant words, which made the old couple smile...

In the end, Master Xianhong personally escorted Wang Lu out of the house and gave each of the couple a handmade cloth. Even the names of Wang Lu and his family appeared on the merit box in the temple. In addition to the lamps offered by the couple, the host also Two lanterns were specially placed for brother and sister Wang Lu and Wang Wei.

Originally, Wang Lu was not going to accept it, but the master was too enthusiastic and said that these lanterns should be kept in front of the Buddha for at least a year.

As soon as the old couple heard this, they immediately said that they would come to offer lamps every year in the future, and this matter naturally fell on Wang Lu.

Wang Lu had no choice but to agree to this. After all, a few thousand dollars in annual offerings would make the couple happy, so why not?

Because Tanhua Temple itself is located on the beach, it is not far from the hotel Wang Lu booked in advance. It takes less than 10 minutes to drive along the coastline and arrive. Parker is also quick to help everyone. All checked in.

Now she only has to wait until early tomorrow morning to go to Zanzibar Island and officially start her vacation. Wang Wei is very happy. After all, she was born in a mountain village and has never seen the island scenery!
