Chapter 72 first quarter

These days, the Regent King Di Mu Living Buddha came to the Manjusri Hall where he was the director of the Jokhang Temple every day, hoping to see the report on the frontline war as soon as possible.The report was delayed.This shows that the idea of ​​sweeping away the foreign demons like a wind and snow is just his wishful thinking. As the regent, the biggest problem he faces is still: being able to drive away the foreign demons without offending the court.To drive away the foreign demons depends on beating, but what to rely on to not offend the imperial court?Rely on loyalty, rely on coaxing, and rely on delivery.However, according to the practice in these years, he has never had direct contact with court officials, and everything is relayed by the minister in Tibet. Now that Wen Shuo has gone to the border, why don't he take this opportunity to express his heart, even if there is any blame in the future, it will not be too late. It is regarded as committing rebellion and disobedience.So he personally wrote a letter to Prince Jin, praising the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and Prince Jin with great respect, and then declared that the anti-British sentiments were righteous, and begged the court for understanding and support.Finally, he said: "The baby who hasn't grown up has been thrown into the pit. When it can't get up, please ask the old Buddha, the great Bodhisattva, and the big Arhat to help him." He asked the housekeeper Baire to choose a sandalwood Buddha and an The golden manjusri and a jade arhat were given to the queen mother, emperor and prince Chun respectively.The envoys to Beijing hurried on the road, whipped their horses and left.

But the regent Di Mu didn't expect that not only would he not get the court's understanding, but he would direct the court's anger to himself, wasting the painstaking efforts of Wen Shuo, the minister in Tibet, to justify the regent and cover up Tibet.Di Mu didn't understand at that time that the confrontation between the strong and the weak in the world was undergoing drastic changes. On the earth where colonialism is prevalent, China is completely in a weak position to be slaughtered.It was not that the court at that time did not want to resist the British, but that it was unable to resist.A poor, sick and weak man faced a strong and fierce rich man, and he could beat him however he wanted, and you had to stand next to him, and if you hit the right cheek, you had to lean in the other cheek.Not only can the imperial court not protect Tibet, it cannot protect any part of China.

The order of the imperial court came to Lhasa more quickly than ever. The regent was not stunned for a while, as if all the disasters were not caused by the British aggression but the resistance of the Tibetans, as if the anti-British sentiment in Tibet must not be obeyed but suppressed majesticly, as if the imperial court was threatening both inside and outside: If the resistance fails, the status and life of the regent will be lost.Empress Dowager, Emperor, Prince Chun, why don't you speak human words when you encounter this matter?Gabbasso! In addition to orders, the envoys to Beijing brought back a box of imperial incense, a pair of golden cups, and a jade ruyi.

The regent king is a wise man, and he can see through the hidden Zen mechanism at a glance: the empress dowager and the emperor have burned high incense to the regent Buddha, so hurry up to truce; the calendula is an offering in front of the Buddha, let’s continue to make offerings, the Buddha values ​​harmony , The meaning of the Buddha is the meaning of the court, how can it ignite fierce flames, intensify disputes, bleed into rivers, and accumulate bones into mountains?Yu Ruyi is a blessing from the imperial court. If the imperial court is satisfied, you will be auspicious, but if the imperial court sits on wax, you will be in danger.

It was only then that the regent Di Mu realized that the war in Tibet was related to the rise and fall of the imperial court, and the previous method of relying on loyalty, coaxing, and delivery was no longer effective.He sucked in the cold air one after another, and lamented: What is the reason for this?He suddenly felt pain in his fingers, and when he looked down, he realized that he was so angry that his right hand held his left index finger and almost broke it.Who are you mad at?alone?Yes, so many Buddhas are right in front of me, how can I ask the imperial court?Tibet has always asked the Buddha for the truth, and the Buddha's truth is the heavenly truth.I have forgotten the Buddha under the Buddha Heaven, so I should be punished.

He closed the door of the Manjushri Hall, lit lamps, prayed, knelt down in front of the gilded bronze statue of Manjushri himself, and then counted the numbers with the flickering lights, and then opened the "Farewell Sutra" on several cases according to the numbers, and picked Vocabulary forms sentences.That sentence says: If you have already asked, there is no need to ask again. The regent fell into deep thought again: Although he had already asked, he still had doubts: the prophecy of Protector Jinba, Protector Juma and Protector Naidon is that "Buddhism will surely win", is it not yet time to win?Naiqiong Dafa protector said "do it to the end", when does it count as "to the end"?The Dalai Lama has long recited the "Martial Arts" and cast a curse. When will it take effect?He couldn't make a judgment for a while, so he called the white hot housekeeper.Butler Baire came up with an idea and said, "Buddha, you still have Luo Bu Tsering, Wangchuk Rinpoche, Dunga Rinpoche, Niangzhu Rinpoche, and Lama Jiangyang. Why don't you ask them?"

Di Mu thought it was a good idea.Luobu Tsering is his cousin, Wangchuk Living Buddha is the protector of the Jokhang Temple, Dunga Living Buddha is the Nyingma monk who came to the Potala Palace to teach the Dzogchen Dharma to the Dalai Lama, and Niangzhu Living Buddha is the permanent resident in Lhasa. The monks of the Karma Gaju sect in Nierong area, Lama Jiangyang is the daily khenpo of the Dalai Lama, they are the closest people to Di Mu on weekdays, and they all have extraordinary insights and wisdom from cultivation. The next day, the Regent Dimu Living Buddha entertained these people in the Buddhist house on the second floor of the Danjilin Dazizai Buddhist Hall.In fact, it was just a small meeting to invite a few think tanks to give advice to the regent.

Rob Tsering said: "You must listen to the imperial court's words, and you must stop the foreign devils from hiding. I see it this way. The Gongbu people have more food, more guns, and more. Let me go there to recruit militiamen and pull a group of people to go to the front immediately. I am here The frontline fought against the enemy desperately. If the foreign demons could not beat me to death, I would beat the foreign demons to death. The brother regent was in Lhasa to coax the court and reassure them that the emperor would do whatever he said about Tibet, and the court's principles were the Kashag's principles. In the future, when the blame comes down, the regent brother will push the responsibility to me, and I will just bear it. At worst, the court will execute me. I die for Tibet and for the regent brother, which is something I wish for.”

When the regent heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. This was a rare joy for so many days.It wasn't that Rob Tsering had a good idea, but that when life and death were at stake, someone treated him with sincerity and stabbed him in the ribs, a kind of warm comfort spontaneously emerged.He nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'm much more relaxed after what you said. Let's talk about Gongbu's recruitment." Lobu Tsering said: "The brother regent still doesn't trust me. I know that Dhondup Kalon is the head of the militia, and he is responsible for organizing the militia in Dzongxi in Houzang to participate in the war. But I heard that until now, no militia team has gone to the front line. The weapons and ammunition raised were piled up in the monastery and no one used them. How did Dhondup Kalon do something wrong? Did he intend to fight against the brother regent? The head of the militia neither went to the place where the militia was recruited nor went to the front line, so he knew he was planning to do something wrong in Lhasa. I heard that he goes to the Potala Palace every now and then, because he wants to see the Dalai Lama. Can the Dalai Lama see him every time?"

Lama Jiangyang said, "That's not true. The Dalai Lama is gone, so he kept running." Rob Tsering said worriedly: "I will never run in vain. After running ten times, there will always be two or three times when the Dalai Lama will see him." Lama Jiang Yang said: "Yes, this has to be guarded against. It is always bad to see him too much. After all, the Dalai Lama is young, he will believe what he says, and he will get close to anyone who runs hard." He is The Dalai Lama's daily life Khenpo, the weight of these words made the Buddha house suddenly quiet. The regent said worriedly: "I appointed Dundup Kalon as the chief of the militia, just to distract him with an errand and let him leave Lhasa. It seems that I was wrong."

Rob Tsering said: "If the head of the militia was assigned to someone else, the foreign demons might have been driven away. Fortunately, the militia can't go up. Although the few generations who go up are regular troops, they are not as good as the militia. .I heard that Lama Lama, the Danjilin Incense Lamp Master who fled in fear of crime, was directing the war? It seems that there is no one in Tibet. Could it be that we all eat tsampa and don’t shit, and are useless at all? What Dunzhu, what Xijia, and Tuomei Living Buddha, who is said to have attained the Great Dharma of the Four Bodhisattvas of Compassion, Wisdom, Action and Vow. Lord Buddha, let's see who are the people in Tibet who are taking on important responsibilities." Dunga Living Buddha said: "They are all mules and horses that have been put on a trap, so it's good to contribute. Tuomei, Lajia and Dunzhu are still different. Tuomei wants to be the first in the teaching method, and Lajia is rebellion. Dhondup Kalon is fucked, a wolf who got in with the sheep, waiting to eat your liver and drink your blood." The regent breathed out and said: "I will not let Tuomei go. Once the war is over, I will deal with him. What can Lama do in La Liga? The war depends on the general manager of Er and his subordinates. He Don't use the banner of Dan Jilin and me to babble in a place where we can't see. What does a lama who cleans dishes and lights lamps know? There is no news of winning the war against foreign demons. Maybe it is because of him. If he I haven't died yet, but I will die in a few days. I have issued a death order to Danjilin Tuo Tuo to execute this lama who brought me bad luck. As for Dundup Kalon, sooner or later he will be unlucky, I don't believe him What can you do to me. There is a god three feet above his head. He has done bad things, and he will get retribution sooner or later.” The more he spoke, the more angry he became, his face turned red, and when everyone stared at him silently, he suddenly stopped, “I won’t mention it anymore. , Don’t mention it, don’t mention Tuomei, Lajia, and Dundup Kalon, it’s important to fight foreign demons.” Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say for a while.Rob Tsering then told the story of going to Gongbo to recruit militiamen. The regent said: "Then you go, go to Gongbu to recruit militiamen." In fact, he was still thinking of Dundup Kalon.He realized that if Rob Tsering participated in the recruitment of militias, he would definitely irritate Dhondup Kalon.Even if it was to prevent others from stealing his job or comparing him to others, Dhondup Kalon would not guard Lhasa like he is now. Rob Tsering was so excited that he almost stood up: "Okay, I will leave tomorrow. After ten days, a Gongbu militia is guaranteed to go to the front. The brother regent can also act preemptively in front of the Dalai Lama, and he will not be able to handle Dhondup Kalon." Let’s talk about it, if the Dalai Lama knows, he won’t look good when he sees him. I won’t talk anymore, I shouldn’t talk too much when I’m young. Tell me, Buddha.” He patted Dunga beside him Living Buddha. Living Buddha Dunga smacked his lips: "Living Buddha Nianzhu is here, let him speak first." Niangzhu Living Buddha was also not modest, and said: "The Buddha Regent is right, it is important to fight foreign demons. In our Karma Kagyu lineage, there is an ancient deep-secret curse handed down from the Indian master Naropa. Ruopa passed it on to Marpa, Marpa passed it on to Milarepa, Milarepa passed it on to Dabulajie, Dabulajie passed it on to Dusumchenpa, and it has been passed down to this day. It is the only method passed on by word of mouth. One master can only pass it on to one disciple. Fortunately, it has been passed on to me. I started to recite the mantra tonight and practice it for seven consecutive nights to see if there is any effect. If there is no effect, I will recite it seven more times. At night. I come down seven or fourty-nine nights. I dare not say that I will go to hell if I read the foreign demon god, but I will definitely read Tibet.” The regent nodded and said: "Very good, very good. I have heard of this deep curse for a long time. It is one of the most powerful and powerful, but I have never seen it before. I didn't expect it to become Niangzhu Dafa now. Niangzhu Buddha You must be diligent and unremitting to drive out the foreign demon god, and I will confer on you as 'Nuomenhan' to the great emperor." Living Buddha Dunga laughed and said, "The deep-secret evil curse has become Niangzhu Dafa. I know this. I didn't expect Niangzhu Buddha to take it out so happily. Regent Buddha, I will serve him this bowl of buttered tea for you." He leaned over and picked up the buttered tea in front of Niang Zhu, holding it to Niang Zhu's mouth with both hands. Living Buddha Niangzhu quickly caught it, took a sip and said, "Tibet now depends entirely on the Regent Buddha. I wish I could pull out all my hair and turn it into a sharp arrow to pierce the heart of the foreign demon, so as to relieve the Regent Buddha's worries." Dunga Tulku said: "I will also talk about my thoughts. I am a Nyingmapa, you know that?" Lama Jiangyang said: "It goes without saying that even the sparrows on the golden dome of the Potala Palace know about it." Tulku Dunga extended his booted feet to the front: "But do you know this?" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Dunga is talking about.Could it be boots? Dunga Living Buddha said: "The Nyingma sect has countless fierce curses, but the effect is only good if the combination of fierce curses and sending non-human beings is combined. My master once secretly taught the method of sending people from the soles of the feet, which can resist hundreds of thousands of monsters in the world. , Destroy the spirit, flesh and spiritual consciousness of the enemy. The method is that eighteen Nyingma lamas make offerings to non-human beings, collectively recite mantras for three days and nights, and then write the mantras, non-human beings and wishes into spells with white silk and sew them into the mid-layer of boots Stamped on every day. In this way, the curse of the gods and the wishes of the Nyingmapa will multiply into inhuman power. What are foreign demons? Even if God himself goes into battle, he may only be cursed and fall to the ground and surrender with his hands up." The regent stared confidently at Living Buddha Dunga: "This is the first time I've heard of this, so I must try it." Dunga Tulku said: "The key is the boots. The newer and more advanced the boots, the more effective the spell will be. Look at my boots, they are so old that they are colorless. Regent Buddha, don't think that I am asking you for boots today. High-end boots must come from Tangerine, so we can use our Nyingma spells to represent your Gelug wishes." The regent said: "This is easy, we just ask the best bootmaker in Lhasa to make it. How many pairs do you want?" Living Buddha Dunga said: "Eighteen Nyingma lamas who support non-human beings each have a pair of black sheepskin and five-color pulu ox-nosed boots. I need a pair of yellow tuanlong satin elephant-nosed boots." Lama Jiang Yang immediately said: "You often enter the Potala Palace to teach the Dzogchen Dharma to the Dalai Lama. It is not appropriate to wear such high-end colorful boots. If the Dalai Lama asks, you say that it was given by the Buddha Regent, he will definitely not." Gao Xing: How come the one given to Tulku Dunga is as high-class as the one given to me?" Dunga Tulku insisted: "Perhaps the Dalai Lama would think that the Regent Buddha respects me, and even my external scripture teacher gave me such high-end colorful boots." The regent said: "This time we will also make a pair for the Dalai Lama. The Dunga Living Buddha has two layers of tuanlong satin, and the Dalai Lama has three layers of tuanlong satin, and an extra layer is added to the sole of the boot." Lama Jiangyang's expression was uncertain, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. The Living Buddha Wangchuk said, "In a few days, the Dalai Lama will come to the Jokhang Temple to preside over the Buddhist scripture debate ceremony, and then give a lecture on "Manjusri's Words". I think I will give him the colorful boots before the ceremony." The regent said: "Good idea. There must be many eminent monks and great virtues attending the ceremony. The boots blessed together are the most auspicious. Let the Dalai Lama know that as soon as he walks around, I think he should have a pair of the most advanced ones in Tibet." The boots. The key is to make the boots quickly." He immediately called the housekeeper Baire and gave them careful instructions. Butler Baire went out and immediately searched all over Lhasa for the best bootmakers. The regent was very happy, and added a few more insurances against foreign demons: cousin Luobu Tsering went to Gongbu to recruit militiamen, Niangzhu Living Buddha's most powerful deep-secret curse, Dunga Living Buddha's colorful boots to resist 100,000 monsters spell.The foreign demon is also a body of flesh and blood, which can withstand beatings from people but not beatings from ghosts. The regent asked the dining room to hold a sumptuous banquet in the Jiliang Hall next to the Buddhist house to entertain several guests.There are dried peaches, dried apricots, dried pears, dried persimmons, four kinds of fried fruits, sheep's head, square cakes stuffed with mutton, rice with ginseng fruit, and bone broth tea at the end.When the guests left, the regent said: "When the foreign demons are defeated, I will treat everyone to Chinese food. I have a first-class Chinese food chef here, and I plan to learn Tibetan before giving it to the Dalai Lama. Before sending it, let him come up with the best craftsmanship, let you have a taste." Living Buddha Dunga said: "At that time, beef, mutton, and pork will not be used, and the meat of foreign demons will be used." Rob Tsering said: "No, no, the meat of foreign demons is stinky." Living Buddha Niangzhu said affirmatively: "Yes, the stench is overwhelming." It seemed that he had already tasted it. Lama Jiang Yang said: "Buddha Regent, you have to think twice about sending a Chinese food chef to the Dalai Lama. He is a very suspicious person, just in case..." Wangchuk Rinpoche interrupted him and said: "After the colorful boots are finished, it is best to take them to the Jokhang Temple in advance, and bless them for a day and a night in front of the 12-year-old Sakyamuni statue. The Dalai Lama will be happier." The regent said: "You reminded me well, so let's do it."
