Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Love is a little painful, and the injury is a little heavy.Time, however, is the best healer. Xin Yiwu once wrote in it: "We used to think that we could die for love, but in fact love can't kill people, it will only stick a needle in the most painful place, and then we want to cry but have no tears, we toss and turn, We have been sick for a long time, and we have been refined into steel. You are not the wind, and I am not the sand. No matter how lingering you are, you will never reach the end of the world. After we wipe away our tears, we all have to go to work.” Then why don’t we wipe away our tears, wipe away our pain, tomorrow Early in the morning, live your own life?

Slowly, Tsangyang Gyatso came out of the pain of broken love, and his thinking ability and attitude towards life were changing.He is intertwined with rationality and sensibility, and continues his proper life. He no longer entangles with the self who lost his lover in his heart. He puts that relationship aside, and relies on Buddha and companionship with peace. Although there is no more rendezvous with the lover, lingering with the lover, but sitting in the ancient temple Buddhist hall, the ancient atmosphere surrounds the snow-covered plateau, with the yellowed scriptures in the hand, and there are some profound meanings in the mouth sentence.Occasionally, when chanting scriptures and praying for blessings in the Buddhist hall, someone would sit gently aside and ask for his guidance and gifts.

Here, one can live like a king, who is the ruler of VI.Being enshrined by people brought him back to his original point.This is the process of purifying and sublimating the soul, and it must give the next love a transition period to ease the heart. Without losing his composure, Tsangyang Gyatso redefines himself to a new position and uses a new way to survive—becoming a living Buddha.Breaking up in love is not a matter of crying and grabbing the ground. For Tsangyang Gyatso, the scriptures taught by the scriptures, or the blessings given to the worshipers, can make you get a different kind of happiness.

There is a saying in Buddhism: "Give up the self, and the true self will appear; give up the limited, and you will win the infinite; give up the law, and you will get inner peace." Sometimes giving up is also a kind of beauty.Life does not need to be 100% owned. When you give up your self-centered self, you may find that the real self hidden in the depths will bring you more surprises; Struggling and indecisive in the matter, look outside, and maybe you will see another more comprehensive solution; when you give up the almost stubborn emotion about something, maybe you will get a rare peace.Don't want to get everything, and occasionally miss one or two things, but you will see a more colorful world.

Some love must be lost, and some people must give you pain.Leaving them is not necessarily a mistake.Leaving may allow you to see a more special world.It is special, it is there, quietly existing, just waiting for you to discover slowly, and then give you a surprise, let you get a wider sky. So Cangyang Gyatso must let go of the past and be himself.His whole universe is in his hands, and as a living Buddha, he must stand forever and be there at any time.In the world of Buddhist scriptures, he can better feel the beauty of learning and the silence of life.Everything was so wonderful. Maybe Tsangyang Gyatso is not telling us outright that he can live well and is doing so.But he tells us with the things around him, let us realize the joy in his ordinary life.

Happiness is not limited to having love.Maybe it’s getting up at the time when the sun shines on the Potala Palace every day, and drinking a cup of butter tea; maybe it’s looking up from the top of the Potala Palace, seeing the clear blue sky and white clouds, and reaching out to touch the distance of the sky, and the heart suddenly widens It is like the morning wind, flying everywhere; maybe it is to look down slowly and see the people praying for blessings, repeating the crawling movements, knocking their heads on the stone slabs, turning into sunken palms; maybe it is returning to the room, Take out the unfinished scriptures from last night and read them slowly.

Time can go around like this without ups and downs.The time without waves gave Cangyang Gyatso a peaceful and ordinary day.He can feel the world's expectations and love for him, and he can rediscover himself and his feelings.Just like in a deep canyon, listening to a small concert played by nature and birds and beasts, a flower can be quiet in my heart. At this time, Tsangyang Gyatso calmed down to study Buddhism.He was originally a studious Buddhist, and now it was much easier to regain his composure and pay respects to the Buddha again. Life has experienced twists and turns, and the mind will also be improved.What I learned by rote in the past, when I read it today, I suddenly realized it thoroughly.What Cangyang Gyatso experienced was the big waves of life, and every ups and downs, he had to cut off the connection with the previous ones.This kind of experience made him feel more touched when he looked at the history of Buddhism.

It is said that Tibetan Buddhism appeared when the 28th Zanpu was alive.At that time, gods descended from the sky, including a golden pagoda measuring 1 cubit, the Sutra of Confession of Hundred Blessings, Sutra of Treasure Casket, and the six-character Daming Heart Mantra.Such legends may be that the folk customs in Tibet at that time were not civilized, but they had already heard of the existence of Buddhism and yearned for it.So in the period of Songtsan Gampo, he established the Tubo Dynasty with powerful strength, and Buddhism also poured in on a large scale at this time.What facilitated this process were the two princesses married by Songtsan Gampo.One is Princess Chizun of India, and the other is Princess Wencheng of Tang Dynasty.Both princesses brought rich Buddhist culture to Tibet, which not only made Songtsan Gampo convert to Buddhism, but also enacted laws requiring people to be devout and faithful to Buddhism.

After that, Trisong Detsen and Trizu Detsen both promoted the development of Buddhism as kings.A group of Buddhist masters represented by Padmasambhava entered Tibet, and more translators began to translate Buddhist scriptures.Buddhism spread like a raging fire in Tibet. But at this moment, a power struggle emerged.When the Zanpu handed over more and more power to the monks, the nobles who had lost power were dissatisfied. They assassinated Zanpu and elected Lang Dama, who represented the nobles, to be in power.The king representing the power of the aristocracy started the campaign to exterminate Buddhism, making Buddhism silent in Tibet for more than 100 years.The surviving Buddhist seeds are only left in the remote Ali.All Tibetans are required to believe in the native religion, the Bon religion.

More than 100 years later, monks represented by Atisha once again brought the seeds of Buddhism to Tibet to preach.Buddhism gradually integrated some contents of Bon religion and developed a unique religious form.After four centuries, the faction that Tsangyang Gyatso was in was finally formed.Tibetan Buddhism also formed its own complete system at this time. Tsangyang Gyatso is in a critical period of history.The difficult years experienced by Tibetan Buddhism also made him sigh.He found that since the Buddha, the inheritance of Buddhism has been proceeding slowly but orderly.Although there have been twists and turns during the period, the seeds of Buddhism still remain in the world, it is just waiting for the right time to develop.Once it hits the right soil, it can produce incredibly bright flowers.

Cangyang Gyatso has a feeling in his heart, which may be the wisdom in the bottom of the heart. Only when people realize the inherent fire of wisdom in the bottom of their hearts, can it illuminate our minds.He clasped his hands and worshiped the Buddha and sages devoutly.He believes that as long as there is a Buddha in his heart, he will eventually achieve self-transcendence one day. He recited Buddhist scriptures, imagining the birth and death and impermanence of the world, and a thought came to his mind: it is very good to be born as a Living Buddha.This title can bring him a way to gain wisdom, and he will understand life and death in this silent palace.Thinking of this, he also thought of all the sentient beings under the Potala Palace. Those people are indulging in a life of drunkenness and dreams, even if they are extremely intelligent, what is the use of them! He took a pen and wrote: Not contemplating birth and death and impermanence, But cycle by cycle toward death. Extremely wise and world-wise, I sigh that he is always confused here. (Translated by Zeng Yan) He no longer held grudges against Diba. Although Diba Sangye Gyatso did not give him all the power of the Dalai Lama, he at least gave him a shortcut to the Buddhist world.If he were an ordinary person, how many catastrophes and reincarnations would he have to go through? He became fascinated by Buddha again.But what he didn't expect was that there was not only the Buddha lamp in his heart, but also the secular spark.This spark will eventually ignite a prairie fire, and even his body will be completely burned in this fire. At this time, Cangyang Gyatso has not realized the turbulent waves in the future, and he is still carefully handling the worldly dust in his heart.He uses chanting and meditation to drive away the distracting thoughts in his heart. Even if he cannot become a living Buddha in charge of politics, he should become a saint with practice. During this time, several religious activities were held in Lhasa, such as preaching the big call and preaching the small call.This is a kind of prayer ceremony initiated by Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Yellow Sect. The first month of the Tibetan calendar is called for the big call, and the second month is called for the small call.This is the most solemn religious event of the Tibetan people. Well-known masters will give lectures at this time to open up the wisdom of the people.The people also worshiped at these Dharma conferences, regardless of whether they could understand or not, in their hearts, the closer they were to the eminent monks, the more blessed they would be. Beginning with the fifth Dalai Lama, Buddhist scripture debates will be held at the Fa conference.The sutra debate here is different from the discussion of daily study. The sutra debate here is to use the biggest ceremony and the most wisdom ears to test for the highest degree of Tibetan Buddhism, "La Rampa Geshe".The wise men will be born in the most solemn ceremony in Tibet. Thinking of this, Tsangyang Gyatso's heart is a little excited.He really wanted to see and experience the achievements of Buddhism, but he was not invited. It stands to reason that the sixth Dalai Lama should participate in such a grand Buddhist event.But first of all, Sangye Gyatso did not want him to go.Sangye Gyatso does not want Tsangyang Gyatso to show his face too much, because with Tsangyang Gyatso's wisdom, it is easy for him to win the trust and love of the people and even the abbots of various temples.He doesn't want Tsangyang Gyatso's reputation to grow, he just wants everyone to know his existence, that's good, otherwise, keep a low profile if you can. As the Khenpo of the three major monasteries in Lhasa who presides over these activities, although the sixth Dalai Lama has been enthroned, he is still a newcomer to Buddhism after all.During the event, all the eminent monks were present, so the arrangement of the position of the sixth Dalai Lama became a problem: if he was allowed to be in a high position, he would not have enough knowledge; if he were to be placed in a slightly lower position, his status would not allow it.Since the two are in a dilemma, it is better not to invite them at all. As a result, when all the believers in Lhasa rushed to the Dharma conference with great interest to feel the boundlessness of Buddhism, Tsangyang Gyatso could only sit quietly by the window of his bedroom and look out.He could see the burning fireworks, which were the piles of incense burned by the worshipers.He imagined the crowds, it should be as lively as the day he was enthroned. As he thought about it, a trace of resentment arose in his heart. He hated that this identity restricted him, and he didn't even give him the opportunity to get close to Buddhism.But he soon regretted his resentment, and now he wants to devote himself wholeheartedly to the Buddha. Greed, anger, ignorance and hatred are all emotions that cannot be had.If you don't handle it properly, you will be burdened with crimes. He silently recited a few lines of the six-character mantra, and wrote a poem: After death to hell, The Buddha has a mirror that illuminates karma. Mishandled here, There are rewards and punishments. (Translated by Xiao Tiyan) The Dharma is boundless. Don't think that this is just a flash of thought in your heart, which will not be known by the Buddha.This flash of thought may cause fluctuations in the originally peaceful heart.This fluctuation may destroy many years of practice.Practice is one's own business. You can deceive others, but you cannot deceive yourself. Cangyang Gyatso eagerly wanted to erase the flash of thought in his heart, and with the help of the six-syllable mantra, he slowly calmed down.He looked at the Buddha statue enshrined in the bedroom, and thought, is the Buddha in the Dharma conference?No, the Buddha is everywhere, and he is even more in our hearts. He walked to the table, picked up a scripture and began to recite.He wants to cultivate a quiet heart for himself, and taste the beauty of peace in the peaceful years.
