Chapter 129 end

On September 22, 1904, the British Crusaders withdrew from Lhasa. From occupation to evacuation, a full seven weeks.The British wanted to occupy Tibet as a British colony and a Christian missionary area for a long time, but in the end they chose to leave. They evacuated on their own initiative. Before the evacuation, Colonel Galan had several negotiations with the Kashag, mainly on terms. The core meaning was: as long as Tibet releases Lama Lama and Miss Sangzhu, we will evacuate.After Kashag agreed in principle, Colonel Galan added another condition: Let Pastor Maun stay in Tibet and give him freedom.

Kashag answered after researching: the pastor can stay, but his twenty guard soldiers cannot stay.Colonel Galan thought he had to ask Reverend Mahon himself.Pastor Mahon said: "This is better. The soldiers of the guards can go home. I will have the Tibetan believer Xiama Rubon and his subordinates to follow." But five British guards were unwilling to leave Pastor Mahon. They said: "Let's take off our military uniforms, put down our weapons, and just follow along as ordinary believers, okay?" In order to let the Crusaders leave as soon as possible, the Kashag agreed, but they also added a condition: the priest can stay, but you must Hand over Queba, the murderer who killed Ergalon.

Colonel Galan strongly disagreed. The reason was: If we hand over the postscript, you will mutilate him and finally kill him. This is not allowed. It is the mercy of Jesus Christ that does not allow it, not me. After several days of stalemate, the Kashag compromised and sent representatives to the cross at the Cisongtang military camp and said, "Let's go, let's go, you take your postcards and leave quickly." "Just let us go away like this?" Colonel Galan finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't you ask us to keep the skull of Buddha?" He thought that the Tibetans would definitely beg: stay, keep the skull of Buddha Bar.Once you beg, you can blackmail: things can be returned to you, but there are conditions, or set aside a British colony in Tibet, or build a church in Lhasa that truly belongs to Jesus Christ.

The Great Living Buddha Triba Yancuo Gyaltsan and Tuomei Living Buddha of Ganden Monastery, who came to negotiate with the elite British soldiers on behalf of Tibet, were very surprised: "The skull? The skull of the Buddha?" Colonel Galan was even more surprised that the Tibetans would mention the "Buddha's skull" with such an expression and tone, reminding them: "Probably you don't know yet, we got the Buddha's skull from the Sama Monastery." "The skull of Buddha in Sama Temple?" Yan Cuojian praised the Great Living Buddha and said, "Let's take a look."

Colonel Galan returned to the headquarters in person, carefully took out the skull of the Buddha from a special wooden box, and held it in front of the Tibetan representative. Yancuo Jianzan looked at the Great Living Buddha and said, "It's a great skull. If you want to keep it, you can keep it, and if you want to take it, you can take it away." Colonel Galan didn't understand even more: "Is the Buddha's skull not important to you?" Tuomei Living Buddha took the skull, twirled it in his palm and said, "Tell you a story, and you will know what we think about the skull. A long time ago, a lama went to India to seek Buddhism. Before leaving, his mother said, you have arrived in India. , bring me a Buddha’s treasure, and I want to offer it. The lama obtained the Dharma in India. On the way back, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to bring the Buddha’s treasure to his grandmother. What should I do? After thinking about it, he pulled out a tooth from a dead dog on the side of the road, and wrapped it with a piece of yellow silk from the inside of the monk's hat. When he got home, the lama said to his grandma, "Grandma, it's not easy for me. I asked for a Buddha tooth for you. Look, the tooth tooth is different from the human tooth.” Grandma took the tooth tooth and offered it in the most sacred place in the house. She worshiped and recited scriptures devoutly every day. He is very strong, and he would say to everyone: "I have accumulated merits by enshrining the tooth of the Buddha, and I will live forever." British, do you understand my story? Buddha is a belief that grows from the hearts of Tibetans, just like the land Trees grow, leaves grow from trees, leaves grow green. It is not a bronze statue, a temple, a bone. This thing, to Sama Temple and people who believe in Sama Temple, it is the sacred Buddha The skull; for those who do not believe, it is a white bone that is often found in graves." Then he hung the Buddha's skull on the cross.

Until the day when the Crusaders left, Lieutenant Rong He was still waiting for Miss Sangzhu.But the Kaxag government in Tibet only agreed to let her go, and did not guarantee that she would go with Lieutenant Rong He, because it was up to Miss Sangzhu to make her own decision. Miss Sangzhu, a human fairy who was gang-raped by the British cross soldiers and ruined beyond recognition by the Tibetan army, chose to disappear in front of Lieutenant Rong He who admired her beauty compatible with the East and the West.Is it the disappearance of love, or the disappearance of the body?Lieutenant Rong He has never figured it out, and can only be sad and painful and regret his whole life: war, and what is destroyed by war, is the most beautiful.

Lieutenant Yung Ho said through tears, "God, I hate all wars." Not long after the Crusaders left Lhasa, Pastor Mahon led a total of 37 British and Tibetan believers to the vast northern Tibetan plateau.Because the condition of the negotiation was "Let Pastor Maun stay in Tibet and give him freedom", it didn't say where in Tibet he would be freed.So Kashag told Pastor Ma Ung: You will be free only if you go to the sparsely populated northern Tibet, and you will be unable to move an inch in other places. The Kashag is telling the truth. In the densely populated Lhasa or Houzang, even if the Kashag allows Priest Maun to live and move freely, he will be beaten to death by lamas and farmers and herdsmen in all likelihood.

The night before Pastor Mahon left Lhasa, three people came to his residence in Sera Monastery.They looked terrified and restless, peeking out the door from time to time, as if someone would come in and catch them at any moment. One of them said: "My name is Rinang Wangchen, and we have come to join you. We know that you are the grandson of Sug Xun." Pastor Mahon looked at them and said, "Yes, Sugshun is indeed my grandfather. How do you know this? I don't know you." Rinang Wangqin said: "My father, the former owner of Rinang Manor, once took care of a leper. He was a foreign pastor. He said his name was Sug Xun."

Pastor Mahon said, "Understood, you are my grandfather's benefactor." Rinang Wangqin said: "This is the Living Buddha of Zhou, and it was his predecessor, the third Living Buddha of Zhou, who cured Sug Xun's illness. Su Xun asked us to come to you, saying that only you can protect us." Pastor Mahon said: "No, it's not me who can protect you, but Jesus Christ who can protect you. However, Jesus will not hold the umbrella of protection over your heads just because your predecessors were good to my grandfather. Jesus only protects those who are in trouble."

Rinang Wangqin said: "We are sinners in Tibet. When we were about to be executed, Sug Xun rescued us with his superb magic power. But in name we were still beaten to death with sticks, and our bodies were Throwing it into the Nianchu River. We dare not show our faces in public, as soon as we show up, we will be recognized." Pastor Mahon said without hesitation: "So it is. Then please convert to Jesus Christ. After you believe in the Lord devoutly, everything will be fine." Ri Nang Wangqin said: "How can we get better, cover up, change clothes, or hide us in the deep mountains and old forests?"

Pastor Mahon said calmly and confidently: "There is no need to cover up and change clothes, and there is no need to hide. Jesus Christ will make you invisible to the eyes of all Tibetans." Rinang Wangqin squinted his white eyes and squeezed his dark ones, and looked at Zhou Living Buddha and Gyantse Zongben Yancuo inquiringly.As a result, the three of them nodded together.There were three more believers. Pastor Mahon was very happy and baptized them that night.But he soon understood that this was just an exchange, and the gods always distributed people's gains and losses fairly and reasonably. On the day he left the Sera Monastery and left Lhasa, Pastor Mahon met Pastor Dasi who had returned from Gongbu Jiangda.Darth told his story, making Reverend Mahon sigh. Pastor Dasi met Bandan Living Buddha on the south bank of the Niyang River in Gongbu Jiangda.Pandan Tulku was tied up with a rope around his neck.Reverend Darth was taken aback, but there was nothing he could do.The people who bound Pandan Tulku were some vicious jailers. Pandan Tulku said: "I summoned you to let you see my end." Pastor Darth said in surprise: "That bright, dignified and fleeting voice turned out to be the call of the revered master. The revered master has been calling me." Pandan Tulku said: "I told you that the path of supernatural powers should not be forcibly taken, not violently, not secretly, and must not be left behind. But I violated this principle, so my life is limited. You will still live , because after I die, only you will know how to practice the Kalachakra-Gamyu Vajra Dafa. Tibet will not destroy any kind of Buddhism." Pastor Darth said, "Respected Master, your death is the exchange for my life. In this case, it is better for me to die. After I die, Dafa still exists." Pandan Living Buddha said: "The gods arranged for my death, and also arranged for your qualifications as the heir to the legal line. Darth, from now on, you are no longer a priest, you are just a lama. My mantle is in the cell, and I leave it to you You still have to remember that in the cultivation of Dafa, if you don’t advance, you will fall back, and you have to be diligent.” Darth was stunned. As a former Christian, his only disappointment with God was: God cannot solve the problem of immortality.What about Buddhism?Only after he became a lama who practiced the Kalachakra Kanyu Vajra Dafa did he realize that the Buddha not only cannot avoid human death, but also encourages believers to dislike the world and quickly be liberated. Liberation means giving up voluntarily, life, and life.He felt how helpless the Buddha and God were, unable to make people immortal, so he had to say that death after repentance was easy, and it was the only way to the afterlife or heaven.Darth believed that both Buddha and God spoke the truth, but the more the truth made him feel more at ease. Dasi asked: "Master, what are the benefits of believing in Buddhism?" Pandan Living Buddha said: "Buddhas have no money to bestow, no officials to teach, no benefits to speak of, and no beautiful scenery for you to enjoy. The benefits of believing in Buddha lie in the future." Darth said, "The future? I'm going to die in the future." Pandan Tulku said: "That's right. The Buddha is the god of death for sentient beings. After you die, you will not die again." Darth said: "Can I die and come back to life?" Pandan Tulku said: "You are not born, because you are not dead." The jailers pulled Pandan Tulku to the chain bridge over the Niyang River like an animal. They were about to put a leather bag on their head. Pandan Tulku shouted: "Lama Dasi, you no longer have a God, you only have a Buddha..." Before he finished speaking, the leather bag covered his head.The guards tied the bag tightly, lifted Panden Tulku, and threw him off the bridge.The fast-flowing Niyang River swallowed this Bandan Living Buddha who dared to recruit foreign disciples in a blink of an eye. Pastor Mahon asked, "Pastor Darth, what are you doing now?" Darth said: "Please don't call me that. I am no longer a priest. A pure lama can survive very well in Tibet. I will continue to practice the Kalachakra Kanyu Vajra Dafa according to the guidance of the 'Picture of Good and Bad, Good and Evil'. On the road to true supernatural powers. In addition, I am already married, and this girl is my lay concubine." Pastor Mahon glanced at the Pumei girl who was pulling two horses behind Darth, with a slightly bulging belly, and said sadly, "God, how could you allow Pastor Darth to leave you?" Darth said, "Pastor Mahon, please remember my words. If you stay in Tibet, your only result will be assimilation." Pastor Mahon said with a firmness never before said, "No, Darth, I am not you, nor my grandfather Sugson. I am Mahon, the eternal and pure servant of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Lord O Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and crown me with your glory." Darth said, "Maybe you're right. We were brothers, though, and we still are, aren't we?" Pastor Mahon stood silently and nodded slowly. Kashag released the Lama Lama Lama as promised, but told him: You were the one who let in God's religion, and the fact that Pastor Mahon came to Lhasa was the result of your appeasement and connivance.You can no longer be a lama, you can no longer believe in Buddhism, Sakyamuni no longer wants you.If you are not reconciled and still want to wear cassocks and "Om Mani Padme Hum" all day long, then you can recite the cross in the Cisongtang military camp, the tallest and largest cross in all of Tibet, out of Tibet, and carry it to India. Lama Xijia said: "The water that has melted does not have to be returned to the snow-capped mountains; can the barley that has been turned into tsampa grow back into the ground? Let me burn it, can't I burn it?" The members of the Kashag did not agree after a discussion. The reason was: the whole of Tibet must know that whoever puts the pagan religion of God into Tibet must recite it out of Tibet. It was a thick and heavy cross with two logs crossed, and it was three meters deep in the ground alone.The tall Lama Lama dug it out and carried it on his back.It's more than a thousand kilometers, and it's dangerous mountains and narrow roads, so he has to recite it step by step. According to the "Holy History", when Lama Lama carried the cross on the road, he was barefoot.He exchanged two bowls of tsampa for the boots of Xiudan, the great protector who ran around on the battlefield.He said, "I'm hungry and I want to be full." With God on his back and Buddha on his heart, he went on his way. On the cross hangs the skull of Buddha from the Sama Temple. The mountain roads in Tibet are still lingering with Gomu's folk songs: I have never climbed a snow mountain by myself, I don't know if the road is hard or not, Never talked about love with Lama, I don't know whether it is bitter or sweet. Gom begged all the way so that Lama Lama would have something to eat every day, even if the food was not good. Carrying the cross, on the way from Lhasa to the border and to India, Gomu's folk songs and care have always accompanied Lama Lama. Almost at the same time, the original Kalon Dundup was also heading from Lhasa to the border.He was deposed from office, and after confiscating all his property and estate, he was released.Everyone knew that he was supposed to be executed, and his life was given to him by his daughter.His daughter Zhe Mengxiong Princess Rinchen Dawa brought a letter written by King Tudorangje and came to Lhasa in person to intercede with the Buddha, the holy leader Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Kashag.Although she, like Colonel Galan, did not meet the Dalai Lama, her goal was achieved.Dunzhu followed his daughter to Zhe Mengxiong.It is said that he came back later, why did he come back, and what did he do after he came back?No test. Time in Tibet continues.The square in front of the Samba military camp was once again turned into an open-air singing and dancing venue.When the girls from Lhasa come, they will dance along with them.Under the leadership of Numa Daiben, the soldiers of the reorganized Samba Army began to sing and dance again.In the Lhasa River Valley full of stones and bursts of mani, a place of rebirth of faith and peace, people's expressions are still so calm and focused, as if they were in a dream, as if nothing happened. It's the annual Lhasa Summoning Ceremony again, and it's time to exorcise ghosts and demons again.The Samba Army lifted several newly-made cannons out of the barracks and set them up on the north bank of the Lhasa River. A row of large stones wrapped in cow hair had already been erected on the south bank of the mountain.The gunners aimed carefully, but as before, several shells went into the river. Even after going through the war, it cannot change the humor of the Tibetan army's "seeking mountains and rivers". Could it be that they deliberately wanted to "seek mountains and draw water" in order to attract laughter from the audience? A year and a half later, the Qing court seemed to wake up suddenly after a sleepless night, and ordered Zhang Yintang, the deputy capital commander, to investigate and deal with Tibetan affairs.Zhang Yintang hurried to Tibet, first of all he did something that applauded the Tibetans, he severely impeached the minister in Tibet, Butai, and asked for decree to abolish and punish him, so as to maintain the hearts of the people in the border areas.The memorial said: Check whether the minister stationed in Tibet is too big and the staff he leads, fish and meat Tibetans, erode treasury funds, corrupt and bully, unscrupulous.What the minister can't do is too taboo.The British army came to invade, just when he was in office, he had no plan, missed the opportunity, slavishly servile, obeyed the wind, falsely claiming that he was drawing money from the bottom of the pot, hoping that the British army would dominate Tibet and subdue the Tibetans for me, I really don’t know what it is intestinal?This is how it hurts the country.When the British army occupied Lhasa, the Tibetans regarded it as the sting of ghosts and snakes, but they rewarded them generously, fawning on foreigners and begging for mercy.Whether it is a senior member of the second rank of the Tai family, how to punish him, the sage has his own balance, and it is not up to the minister to draw up.Only the people's grievances are boiling, and the Tibetans are chilling. If they are not appeased, they will cause future troubles, and it will be difficult to subdue them. Soon, the Qing government issued an order to punish Tai Fu: According to the decree, Zhang Yintang reported by telegram that according to Chen Zangzhong's filthy government officials, they fished Tibetans and eroded their salaries.Whether it is too mediocre, cowardly, and delays the opportunity, and there are frauds such as false reimbursement, so he will be dismissed first, and he will not be allowed to return to Beijing, and he will wait for the case to be investigated.Still, Zhang Yintang will conduct a thorough investigation and repeat it according to the facts. Feeling wronged too much, he once defended the case to the investigators: "I am on duty, diligent and diligent, and dare not be lazy at all. The court wrongly blamed me. If I am disloyal, how can I have the courage to contact the British?" The investigators said: "Is corruption also a fault?" According to the "Holy History", Futai was dismissed to appease the grievances of the Tibetan people, but the court emphasized his corruption.Shortly thereafter, the thirteenth Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso, who had completely got rid of the disease and the mental distress caused by the British Crusaders’ invasion, was invited by the imperial court to go to Mount Wutai in Shanxi to make a pilgrimage to the Buddha. Half a year later, he went to Beijing to see the Empress Dowager Cixi and Guangxu emperor.The imperial court rewarded him generously, not only restoring the title of "Dalai Lama", but also canonizing it as "Chengshun Zanhua Xitian Great Kindness Buddha", with an annual reward of 10,000 taels of silver. In the late 1940s, a group of caravans came from India to Baiju Temple in Gyantse, Tibet.The leader was a middle-aged Englishman who could speak Tibetan. He asked someone to lift two wooden boxes off his horse and said to the sixth Khenpo Drormi of Baiju Monastery, "Buddha, please accept our gift." The Sixth Khenpo Zhuomi asked, "What's inside?" The British knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Please Buddha, you will know when you open the box." It turned out that these were two boxes of cultural relics from Baiju Temple that were snatched by cross soldiers. There were ritual utensils, Thangkas, Buddhist scriptures, and Buddha statues. Three of the Buddha statues were pure gold Tara statues. The sixth Zhuo Mi was surprised: "Where do these treasures come from?" The British did not answer, and said: "I returned the things, although not all, but I can return only these." The Sixth Khenpo Zhuomi asked, "Who are you? What is your name?" The British still didn't answer, saying: "Tibetans talk about karma. When the retribution comes, we know how important it is to repent. We have been punished, and we will be punished. We can't wait for generations. Spending time in punishment. Buddha, you can punish me whatever you want, even if you kill me. I am not afraid of retribution, but I hope this is the last retribution." Khenpo Dromi asked, "What happened?" The British shook his head and said nothing, his cryptic expression was clouded with white mist. Khenpo Dromi would certainly not punish the Englishman, whether he was repenting or not.Zhuo Mi stayed with him, gave him food and drink, taught him to recite scriptures, taught him the Dharma, and even gave him mandala empowerment.The British lived for half a year before leaving, and until he left, he didn't say what his name was, whose descendant he was, and who was he repenting for? He just said, "I'm going back, a Christian is going back." Just one hundred years after the war in Tibet ended, on the outskirts of London, on the north bank of the River Thames, the elderly Dr. Hatton presented five acres of land to Jiangyang Living Buddha of the Gelug Sect of Tibet who came to England for the first time to spread Buddhism, in order to establish Jiangyang Rinpoche’s ideal Himalayan Meditation Center. Jiangyang Rinpoche said: "This is an unparalleled merit, and the Buddha will remember you." Dr. Hatton said: "I don't need any merit. I am a member of the Presbyterian Church, a devout Christian, and my only desire is to show you God's favor. Jesus gave you the land, not me." Jiangyang Rinpoche said: "I remember God's grace." "It would be an honor if you could thank God, thank Jesus Christ," Dr. Hatton said. Jiangyang Rinpoche’s way of thanking is very strange: there is a Gothic church on this land, and Dr. Hatton told Jiangyang Rinpoche that according to British law and his own wishes, you can demolish it at any time and build your temple.But Jiangyang Rinpoche did not dismantle it, but only repaired the old church as it was before. He did not even remove the long wooden chairs in the hall and the pulpit where the pastor preached. The bas-reliefs of Convicts and Jesus saving mankind are housed in the statues of Buddha III, Bodhisattvas and Dharma Guardian King Kong, turning a typical Western church into an Eastern temple. From the exterior to the interior of the temple, there are traces of Christianity everywhere, so that the British who originally believed in God, came here without a lot of strangeness and fear of mutual exclusion.They found that their beliefs can be integrated. They don't need to abandon their Christianity, and they can practice Zen and Buddha here with peace of mind.Soon, Jiangyang Rinpoche published his "Guide to Self-cultivation" and distributed it to all British people who came to the Himalayan Meditation Center.It was discovered that it contains the words of Sakyamuni from the Buddhist scriptures and the words of Jesus Christ from the Bible.Someone said in amazement: "Jesus and Buddha are so similar, some words are said by one person." A year later, Dr. Hatton died.At his funeral, Jiangyang Rinpoche found out that Dr. Hatton is a descendant of Sugson, and Sugson is actually a variant of Saxon.The Anglo-Saxons are the ancestors of the British. In St. Paul's Cathedral in London, there are also the tombs of two eleventh-century Saxon kings. Sugshun is an extension of the bloodline of the ancestor Saxon kings. There has always been a Sagson in Tibet.Pastor Ma Ung went to the northern Tibetan plateau, that is to say, Sug Xun went to the northern Tibetan plateau.and after? St. Paul's Cathedral in London, England is a combination of two cross-shaped buildings.In the middle of the cross building stands a dome with a height of more than 100 meters.At the tip of the dome, the gilded cross shines with the light of God in the sun.The balcony surrounded by stone railings and the two-story round building supported by round stone pillars make people feel that it is where heaven is.In front of the door is a corridor composed of six pairs of tall round stone pillars. Through the corridor, you can see pictures of St. Paul's missionary work in Damascus and stone statues of St. Paul.Such a magnificent church naturally has two bell towers, two symmetrical ones, hanging the largest copper bell in England and a group of church bells with harmonious tones. In England, where Christianity is the state religion, there is no church more important than St. Paul's Cathedral. In the hall of the church, rows of long wooden chairs and the priest's pulpit are set against the magnificent ceiling and luxuriously decorated walls in an extremely plain and simple style, making people think that no matter how much colorful display there is, the real The existence and true purpose of the human being will always be the origin of the human heart and the flesh.Around the hall are bright and quiet halls.The famous gilded figure of Jesus is displayed in a niche in one of the chambers to the east. Beneath the gold-plated Jesus statue is an earth-like oval glass cabinet that symbolizes love, peace, and consummation. There are three exquisite crystal boxes in a row in the cabinet. In the middle box is an ancient paper "Bible". Inside the box is "The Voice of the Heavenly Kingdom".The box on the right is empty, seemingly waiting to be placed, without knowing what it is waiting for. My eyes, that is, the eyes of the author Yang Zhijun, naturally fell on the box on the left.Inside was a pile of long handwritten scriptures, and on the cover were written four righteous Tibetan words: Dharma Voice of the Kingdom of Heaven. I remembered the words of Living Buddha Di Mu before his death: "Now, the seeds of awakening have been planted, and they are here. The words of the Buddha, the words of God, and my words are all recorded here. The Buddha said, this night is the last dialogue." Legend has it that after Living Buddha Di Mu passed away, Lingshen brought his "Dharma Voice of the Kingdom of Heaven" across the ocean to England.Just like when Buddhism was introduced into Tibet, a volume of treasure chest scriptures, a golden pagoda and a golden instrument were lowered from the sky. One morning, the British saw the words "Dharma Voice of the Kingdom of Heaven" descending slowly from the bright blue sky. "The treasure chest.Knowing that it was the revelation of faith and the coming of the spiritual father, they enshrined it in St. Paul's Cathedral. "The Voice of the Kingdom of Heaven" - the final dialogue.Would love to know its contents too.
