Big Lama fortune-telling

How is the ritual of "descending the gods" held in Tibetan Buddhism?

In Tibetan Buddhism, the "divination" ceremony is a ritual that requires divination of good and bad luck. In the major monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism, there are gods who protect Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, protecting the dharma has great magic power, which can be attached to the human body and can inspire people to bring good or bad luck. In many monasteries, there are full-time Dharma lamas, that is, lamas owned by dharma protectors at present. The Dharma Lama must have a bright mind, otherwise there will be no test of God.

Divination ceremony was held in Fayuan Temple. There is a glass shrine in Fashen's room, which contains a statue of Fashen. There is a rectangular stool in front of the shrine, on which the clothes of the dharma protector are enshrined. Generally speaking, the crowns of gods are made of gold and silver, weighing about 30 Jin; The vestments of dharma bodies are generally made of silk and satin, and the style of clothing is very similar to that of ancient robes in Han Dynasty. During the "divination" ceremony, the Lama of Dharma entered Dharma's room, that is, he sat on a stool in Dharma's costume. At this time, there will be a sitter standing on the edge of the stool holding the crown of the Dharma God, and dozens of lamas are beating drums and blowing trumpets on both sides, while the big Lama will cross his hands and recite mantras, looking extremely pious. After Falun Gong started for a period of time, suddenly the Falun Gong Lama would open his eyes and look around. The shape was terrible. At this time, he will be considered to be possessed by the Dharma God. The Lama of Dharma God himself has lost consciousness, and the waiter will put the dharma crown on his head, while another Lama will put a rope around his neck and gradually sit down, his head will swing from side to side, and he will sit still for a while and use Tibetan. At this time, whenever there is something difficult to ask for divination, there will be questions and no answers. After all the problems were solved, the dharma god held the bell in his left hand and the pestle in his right hand, and began to chant Buddhist scriptures and throw wheat and rice. After that, the Dharma Lama put down the bell pestle and leaned back, indicating that the Dharma God was no longer possessed and had left. The "divination" method was successfully completed.
