Chapter 37 Human Scalp
Li Muzi was a woman who wasn't easy to cheat. She smiled, was very literary, and in fact, she was aggressive.
Of course, I was not a vegetarian. I was an orthodox Yin and Yang Tattoo descendant.
I explained to her and said these Yin and Yang Tattoos were very delicate. Buddhist Yang Tattoos, in fact, could not be tattooed on women.
After all, the Buddhist was masculine, women were feminine. Once tattooed, Yin and Yang wouldn’t adapt to each other. As time passed, a woman with a ”Buddhist” Yang Tattoo, would develop a variety of problems in her body.
”Then why do you want to give me an Ananda Buddha ring?” She asked me.
I scratched my head and said, ”Everything is not absolute. Although Buddhist Yang Tattoos are not fit for women, the Ananda Buddha Ring is.”
She asked me to explain.
I told her that Ananda was actually a very interesting person.
In the Tibetan Buddhist ”Tripitaka”, there was a story about ”Ananda.”
At that time, he traveled to a farm in India.
On that day, the weather was hot and Ananda was thirsty, so he found a well.
Near the well, a Sudra woman was fetching water.
Ananda said to the woman, ”I wandered to here and I am very thirsty; please help me pour a bowl of water.”
The Sudra woman said to Ananda respectfully, ”I am humble and dare not fetch water for you, please fetch water by yourself.”
In India at that time, the hierarchy was very strict, and the position of Sudra was the lowest. She was a slave, and Ananda was a Buddhist monk, and he was very important. Therefore, the Sudra woman was afraid to fetch water for him.
Ananda put his palms together devoutly and said: “Everything is the law, regardless of the high and low. Please help pour water for me.”
The Sudra took the porcelain bowl and scooped a bowl of water for Ananda, and handed it to him.
When Ananda took over the bowl of water, he accidentally touched the hand of the Sudra, and immediately, his heart was filled with joy and love for the Sudra.
He then spent a happy period of time with the Sudra.
During this time, he was miserable and happy.
His happiness was because of love.
The pain was because he felt sorry for the Buddha. He bent his heart to the Buddha, but he committed a breach of discipline.
One day, Ananda said to Buddha Sakyamuni,”Buddha, how can I return to Buddhism?”
”Ananda, I can't help you... You fell into the love of the world. If you want to return to Buddhism, then you must stop your love and detach yourself. From then on the heart is like rock, with no feelings involved, and you can return into Buddhism. All must depend on yourself.”
From then on, Ananda meditated every day, gradually left the Sudra, and eventually, Ananda felt he was like a rock, left the Sudra, and went to the western bliss.
Ananda lived in the western bliss for twenty years. One day, his disciple found him, carrying a box: “Master, someone entrusted me to bring you a box.”
He opened the box, and found a letter written by the Sudra whom he adored.
In the letter, the Sudra said to Ananda, ”Master... How can you enter the temple of Buddhism? Today, I put the love for you first. Today, I understand. Perhaps if I am not here, you can give your whole heart to Buddhism. After today, I am gone.”
The Sudra knew he had never forgotten her, and in order not to delay his Buddhism, she decided to settle it by herself.
Ananda saw the letter, and with tears streaming down his face, he waved his hands, and a man’s shadow emerged from his body.
The shadow of that man is ”love string”; it is the love string of Ananda.
”Go. Find the Sudra; that is your destiny. It is best to stay with her.” After Ananda spoke to his love string, the love string left.
When the love string left, Ananda's hand had an Ananda Buddha ring.
On it, there was a woman and Buddha's head, symbolizing love and the mighty power of Buddhism.
Because of this, the Ananda Buddha Ring is different from any other similar Buddhist tattoos. It canbe tattooed on women, and doesn’t harm a woman's feminine body.
I told the story of the ”Ananda Buddha Ring” to her.
Li Muzi kept nodding and said I still had a little knowledge. She said, ”In the afternoon please give me the tattoo. By the way, where will you draw the tattoo on my body?”
I said this kind of tattoo had to be done on the arm, with the ”entangled” method.
Buddha Ring, Arm Dragon, Auspicious Carp... These kinds of long and narrow tattoos relied on the ”entangled” method.
She was a little hesitant and said she was a university professor. Tattooing on the arm seemed a bit... Not quite right.
The arm is an obvious position. Anyone could subconsciously roll up their sleeve, especially in hot weather. A tattoo on the forearm was the most difficult to hide.
I thought about it and said to her, ”Professor Li, I'd like to ask you, if you are easily angered?”
”Angry? It's not easy to get me angry.” She said: “I should have a good temper.”
I had an idea.
She asked me what the idea was, and why was the tattoo related to a bad temper?
I told her that, in fact, there was a tattoo called a ”Pigeon Blood” tattoo.
