Was the Lama chosen by lot?

A: There are many lamas in Gannan, especially in big monasteries like langmusi. How many names does Lama have? What do they mean? Let me tell you what langmusi Lama is.

Speaking of langmusi, many people are familiar with it. It is a typical representative of Tibetan Buddhism, where you can appreciate the powerful charm of Tibetan Buddhism.

Tibetan Buddhism, also known as Tibetan Buddhism, refers to the branch of Buddhism introduced into Tibet. In Tibetan Buddhism, the word Lama is often heard. What does this Lama mean? Lama, transliterated from Tibetan, is a term of Tibetan Buddhism, meaning guru and master. It is a title of respect for Tibetan Buddhist monks, that is, the title of respect, rank and monk. "Grace" means treating all sentient beings with kindness, just as a mother cares for her children, which means kindness is the highest. People who have this supreme love are called lamas. Not only that, Lama also means supreme or supreme mentor in Tibetan. Therefore, with the formation of the living Buddha system, the honorific title of Lama has gradually become another important title of living Buddha to show that living Buddha is a mentor or guru who guides believers to convert to Buddhism. This Lama is like a monk in the Han Dynasty. "Monk" originally came from Sanskrit, meaning "teacher". It was originally an honorific title. Only those who are qualified to be teachers can be called monks, not everyone can. But later, the word was used as a title for ordinary monks, which was somewhat different from the original intention. Generally speaking, there is no difference between Lama and monk in essence, and they are both honorifics for the supreme. It is only because of the differences in Tibetan and Chinese languages and sects that they have different names.

Several appellations of Lama:

1, Lama/Ake: Lama or Ake can be used to address a male Tibetan Buddhist monk.

2. Living Buddha in Sichuan: Living Buddha is the incarnation of Buddha, referring to a monk with successful practice. At present, all the living buddhas in langmusi are reincarnated by their predecessors, so how do the lamas in langmusi look for living buddhas? If you want to know the details, please contact me and I will tell you in detail!

2. Living Buddha Tong Ling: After the death of the living Buddha, he was reincarnated into the believer's home and gave birth to a child with a vision of heaven and earth.

3. Renyeche: Tibetan means "treasure", and only monks with high practice can be crowned with this title.
