章節(jié)摘錄
The Dragon King took out a Good Wish Pearl and spoke to Meto Natse:“My daughter, do not blame your father the king. This is your destiny. You are now living with a happy family Chatsa Shigar treats you as his real other. Later on you will have your own son. I give you a Good Wish Pearl. You will get whatever you wish. Remember: always keep the pearl by your side before your son is born.” After saying this, the Dragon King went into the water and disappeared. The Dragon daughter felt warm and comfortable with the Good Wish Pearl in her hand. She then fell into a deep sleep. A white cloud came from the southwest. A deity was standing on the cloud. He came to Meto Natse and placed a five-pointed golden Diamond Club on her head: “Woman of good fortune, I never left you. It is time for you to bring goodto the people in Tibet.” Ihe deity then said: “Remember: the eighth day of the third month this year is the time for the son of the deities to be reborn. He is the ferocious god that will subjugate all evil spirits. He will be the king of the black-haired Tibetans.” “Also, remember that when the son ofthe deities is born, you need to apply longlife liquid on his upper jaw. He must use the top ofhis head to eat when he has food for the first time. Meanwhile, Deity Pamlha should be worshiped.This fierce god will help him to dress up for the first time. He should worship the Heavens before he fights with any enemies. You must always bear in mind what I have said.” ……
