Chapter 41 Live up to Tathagata and live up to Qing

In remote Tibet, that place very close to the sky, there is such a person, a monk, who always reminds us, and every time we think of it, our heartaches inexplicably.His name is Tsangyang Gyatso. He is a famous romantic poet in Tibetan history and the world-famous sixth Dalai Lama.He used his short life to write an eternal legend.The snow-covered peaks there, the sea of ​​clouds and grasslands there, as well as goshawks, prayer flags, cattle and sheep, all have poetry and emotion because of him.His existence makes the already deep and mysterious land even more magical and beautiful. How many people, for the sake of this name, carried their bags on their backs and traveled far and wide to search for him with deep love.It's just that the vicissitudes of the world have changed, and the smoke and clouds have cleared up, so what can we find?Every inch of the land there seems to have left his lonely shadow, but we stretch out our hands, but we can't catch anything.What else can the fluttering prayer flags, rotating prayer wheels, and cultures that have been silent for hundreds of years tell us?But what can we leave for him after traveling so far and worshiping devoutly under the blue sky?It's just the dust brought from all over the world, and the traces have been wiped away time and time again by the years.

We can see the desolate wasteland, and the elegant lotus blossoms, but we can't wake up the sleeping soul quietly under the blue sky.In fact, he has already left, his spirit, his heart, and his physical body have already left here and gone to a pure land called Western Ultimate Bliss.There are only clouds and smoke that linger for a long time, and the lotus platform sitting in the clouds and smoke.I know that he is unwilling, he can't give up the world of mortals, the world of flowers and leaves, and the lingering love.Reluctantly, he was destined to be a green lotus in front of the Buddha in his previous life, or a scented oil lamp. Because of his dedication to cultivation, he is destined to be a monk in this life.He can't resist the law of karma and can only accept the pain of reincarnation.

The fifth Dalai Lama Lobsang Gyatso passed away, rewriting the fate of Tsangyang Gyatso's life.If Sangye Gyatso, a close disciple of the 5th Dalai Lama, had not been in the way, Tsangyang Gyatso might not have been selected as the "reincarnated soul boy" of the 5th Dalai Lama 15 years later.Whether it's a mistake of fate, or the result he deserves in this life, in short, God's will is hard to violate, and he has no choice.This handsome young man has innate roots of wisdom and superb comprehension.All of this is just the beginning of his turbulent life. His stubborn fate will not listen to anyone's persuasion, and it will press forward step by step in the direction it wants to reach.

Tsangyang Gyatso was originally born in an ordinary peasant family in Tibet, with both parents, living a simple, peaceful life.He has the same dreams as many young people, dreams and his beloved woman, guarding a clear moon, a stream of water, a stream of white clouds, a grassy beach, a few cattle and sheep, and live in peace.He herded sheep, and on the grassland, he watched a goshawk soaring thousands of miles away.She washed his hands and made soup for him, and gave birth to a pair of innocent and lovely children.What he wants is the most ordinary happiness in the world, watching a Gesang flower bloom, talking to a sheep, writing his favorite poems, and loving the person he wants to love.

However, the world praised him to the height of a god and Buddha, and in a helpless situation, he could only accept the worship of thousands of people.He kowtowed and sighed: "I am really ashamed of disobeying the master's order." He has Buddha nature, can easily reach the other side of the compassionate voyage, and can save sentient beings.But he can thoroughly understand the true meaning of love, and is willing to smash into ashes for the beloved beauty.He lives soberly, loves with responsibility, he tosses and turns between being born and entering the world, his spirit has actually already reached the state of Nirvana, and has also surpassed the barriers of reality.He dares to say love. On the road leading to the Buddhist world, he is lonely, with no companions, no singers, because he bears the heaviest love in the world, so this road must be paved with thorns.

Trapped in thorns, no matter how clear his Zen mind is, will he really not be hurt?No, he hurt more than anyone, hurt more deeply than anyone.Otherwise, he would not have written such a heart-wrenching verse: "The world is safe with the Dharma, and you will not fail the Tathagata and not the Qing." No one will understand that he sits on the lotus platform, and his heart is concerned about the pain of the world. That's how he never turned back, as a loving monk, he wrote lingering poems during his meditative days.Tsangyang Gyatso, he doesn't need the proof of history, he doesn't need the approval of the world, he just grinds his heart into juice and sprinkles it to every corner of the world, so that the barren land can also be full of love.

Love flowers are poisonous, both poisoning and detoxifying.How could a loving person care about whether he was taking poison or antidote.Cangyang Gyatso, he resolutely obeyed the love of fate, and was willing to be a monk before the Buddha and a mortal person, and he would not fail the Tathagata, the beauty, the emperor, and all living beings.However, all sentient beings owe him. Although Tsangyang Gyatso is the sixth Dalai Lama, he is the leader of Tibet's political and religious affairs, and is worshiped by all people, but he cannot control the political power.From the age of fifteen to the end of his life, he was just a puppet of Sangye Gyatso.A chess piece that has been manipulated by others does not even have the right to choose black and white.Others made a bet on him with politics. In the end, he lost all his money and lost his young life.

Emperor Kangxi ordered that Cangyang Gyatso be sent to Beijing to be deposed.On the way to Beijing, at the age of 25, he died of illness in Qinghai Lake, entrusting his life to the blue and pure lake water.However, the cause of Tsangyang Gyatso's death has become an eternal mystery.It is said that he died of illness in Qinghai Lake; it is also said that he was secretly killed by his political opponent Lhazang Khan on the road; it is also said that he was imprisoned in Wutai Mountain by the Qing emperor and died of depression; the last one is what many people are willing to accept: a kind-hearted general Cangyang Gyatso was released privately, and he became an ordinary shepherd by the Qinghai Lake, spending the rest of his life in poetry and wine.These legends are just history's attempt to give this legendary love monk a mysterious and romantic background.Let the person who tells the story speak more beautifully, and let the person who listens to the story be deeply moved.

In short, after Tsangyang Gyatso died, it doesn't matter whether he is enjoying the ultimate bliss or accepting reincarnation like ordinary people in the world.It's not that he can't stand the loneliness of Liantai, but that he has deep roots in love and can't control himself.In his life, he lived too real, too crazy, and too beautiful.How many people rushed here in a hurry, not for the purpose of cultivating the Buddha, not for salvation, but just want to form a relationship with him.
