Chapter 16 Chapter 15 Dangsang Wangpo

When the secular life leaves an indelible mark on the soul, it has a deep-rooted persistence.When it is so quiet that everything is almost empty, a thought suddenly pops up, and then it is like ink dripping into the water, quickly blurring away, showing wonderful traces, and making a heart fascinated by it I took it away. Tsangyang Gyatso's living Buddha's life was probably eroded by this deep-rooted imprint. The life that could have been simple was destined to become not simple.On the quiet days of chanting sutras and worshiping the Buddha, secular images popped up in his heart from time to time, like a never-ending movie, the theater is always open, and when the hour comes, it starts to play familiar pictures, over and over again, Never get bored.

The quiet heart was hit again and again by the lively and noisy warmth, and the sitting figure began to shake.Sitting quietly and contemplating enlightenment becomes more and more difficult, and one's heart is always looking out the window.what's thereThere are obscurations that cause three thousand afflictions.But this maze is so breathtakingly beautiful that people can't help looking at it. Amongst the figures, there are gorgeous flowers swaying and swaying, showing off their greatest charm.Tsangyang Gyatso thought that it should be a kind of beautiful thing, the world may not be as bad as the Buddhist scriptures say, it also has beauty.

In fact, in the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, the mundane world is not killed with a stick.Anyone who has read "The Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment" will feel that there is not only karma in the world, but also beauty.These beauties are all around us, everywhere, but quietly.It waits to be seen by the discerning eye and perceived by the sensitive heart. The reason why the Buddha said that people in the world have a lot of karma is because the eyes of the world are easily deceived by beautiful things.When looking at the world, only with the eyes, not with the heart, the world is a world in disguise.But when you have a discerning mind, you can immediately distinguish the beauty from the ugliness in the chaotic world.

The Buddha knew that the world is ignorant, so he exaggerated his denunciation of the world, and made people see more of its evil and ugliness.As for beauty, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.It takes someone with great wisdom to analyze them one by one in the world.This is a misunderstanding that the Buddha deliberately caused the world to have, and there is wisdom that is difficult to express in words. When the Buddha was about to pass away, he was also worried about his disciples' understanding of the world, only knowing one thing and not knowing the other, and he painstakingly taught the secret law of beauty in the world.This is a secret method that can only be cultivated by a mind that has seen through the dust of the world. It allows people to gain insight into the truth of the world, and to obtain a real and perfect world, so that they can know the beauty of the world.

Therefore, Buddhist principles still have to be sought from the world in order to truly seek them.Sitting in bitter meditation, you may not be able to see through everything; if you are free in the world, you may become a Buddha in one body. We have no way of knowing whether Tsangyang Gyatso's heart really has insight, this truth of Buddhism.But we know that he believed in the beauty in the world, and he found that sitting on a high platform would be indebted.He was going to make up for this vacancy, this regret.He does not want to practice the dreary dharma of leaving the world, but he wants to practice the dharma of entering the world.

So, he put on the common clothes again, walked down the tall Potala Palace, walked through the deserted emptiness, went to the bustling place, looking for the beauty. But what can be called beauty?Cangyang Gyatso's heart is not very clear. He may be grateful for the love his parents have shown him, he may be touched by the help from his neighbors, he may be happy because of the freedom and comfort, and he may be grateful for the love he once had. Love is still longing... It is undeniable that there are many explanations for beauty in life.They are the reason why people can survive in this world.

Beauty can be about friendship: holding hands with girlfriends, shopping, eating sweet cakes, holding a lot of snacks, and preparing to go home and gossip.Maybe I met someone who was in love at that time on the street by chance, but because of the company of friends, the previous unhappiness was offset, so I could smile at him and walk away gracefully.Or make an appointment with two or three confidants, and have a hearty meal. Beauty can be about family affection: eating with parents; looking through childhood photos with parents, remembering the growing up; holding parents' hands tightly once; giving them a hug that can almost suffocate; lightly whispering in their ears Say I love you softly.

Beauty can be about feelings: watching prayer flags full of willow trees fluttering in the wind; A single prayer wheel, feeling the temperature and texture left by countless people. Beauty can be about the details of life: or curl up quietly in the sofa, let the deep French songs fill the room, let the light shine on the yellowed books, watch the tea at hand is still steaming, and spend the long night slowly; or bring Going out for a walk with my pet that has been with me for many years, watching the middle-aged people dancing in the central garden, the old people sitting on wooden chairs, and the children rushing to their parents, I feel the joy and laughter here.

Of course, the most exciting thing is love, which is the most beautiful fireworks in the night sky, setting off a shocking glimpse.Even if the heart is hurt, people still hope that they can look forward to the peerless beauty.However, the beauty of love is not only to have love, but also to wait for love. Jimmy said: "I met a cat diving, but I didn't meet you; I met a dog climbing a rock, but I didn't meet you; I met snow in summer, but I didn't meet you; I met a typhoon in winter , but I didn’t meet you; I met pigs and learned how to make a net, but I didn’t meet you. I met all the extraordinary, but I never met the ordinary you.” Waiting for the one who is destined to be with you, needs time.

Cangyang Gyatso decided to walk among the crowd, looking at all living beings, his heart was still longing for love.He wants to believe that the feeling is beautiful, and he wants to experience it again.Perhaps only this kind of beauty can make him feel the value of life.He wants to sit in a teahouse or wine shop, waiting for the emotion that makes the heart excited. So, stretching from the Potala Palace to Bajiao Street, a noble young man appeared in a wine shop on the street.Luxurious thin pulu robes, tall cowhide boots, elegant but not daring to be taken seriously.It was as if a sweaty horse suddenly broke into the donkey shed. Jealousy and resentment spread among the crowd, and finally turned into disdain and doubt.

Since then, a person has two completely different identities in Lhasa: When living in Potala, It is Rizeng Tsangyang Gyatso; When living under the palace, It is the prodigal son Dangsang Wangbo. (Translated by Gao Ping) But which one is he? The geese leave their voices, and the people leave their names.Surname and first name represent a symbol of a person.Throughout the ages, people have attached great importance to names and almost regarded them as one of the most important carriers of life value. The name of Tsangyang Gyatso is destined to be famous forever.It is the name given by the Panchen Lama to the new reincarnation of the Dalai Lama.The official Dharma name is Puhui Luobuzang Rinchen Tsangyang Gyatso, which represents the supreme power and status.But the power represented by this name, to Tsangyang Gyatso, is just a floating cloud in the sky, without any practical meaning.Some are the Zen fragrance and green lamp all day long. For Cangyang Gyatso, who grew up in freedom since childhood, what kind of tormenting confinement was that? The vast grassland, the high blue sky, and the beautiful wish of holding hands with the beloved girl can only turn into illusions and become vague dreams.This eagle, which fought in the sky on the plateau, has now become a "golden bird" locked in the "golden roof", tossing and turning in loneliness every night.There must be resistance under pressure. At this time, no force can restrain the burgeoning love of the sixth Dalai Lama. He should have often secretly thanked his childhood friend in his heart.Ta Jian was Cangyang Gyatso's childhood playmate, a few years older than Cangyang Gyatso, so Ta Jian was not only his elder brother, but also his close friend.They once wrestled together, once grazing and singing together on the alpine meadow, once chasing in the hills and forgetting to go home.Now, Ta Jiannai has come to Lhasa from a distant hometown, and he is his only relative here. The beautiful singing voice seemed to be still rippling in his ears, and he seemed to have returned to his dream-bound hometown.The kind father and mother yelled his baby name - Ngawang Norbu. Tajiannai's father held the jug in his left hand and stroked his head with his right hand. Tajiannai was standing by the tree imitating his family's cattle .Also, in that market, leaning against the door, Rinzeng Wangmo was as shy as a mountain peach blossom. But these beauties are like the flowing clouds in the sky, the wind blows them lighter and lighter, and finally there is only a wisp of light smoke left.Fortunately, Ta Jiannai came, bringing support to the lonely him, as well as the atmosphere of childhood and hometown. This is the friendship that Tsangyang Gyatso longed for so much, and it is a friendship that cannot exist in the high Potala Palace.Therefore, he gave Ta Jiannai a special right - he could come to the Potala Palace to visit him at any time.But the tall Potala Palace is not a place where ordinary people can enter and exit at will in the hearts of Tibetans who fear the gods.Even if Ta Jiannai has this unique right, he still dare not set foot here often. In order to meet Tajiannai often, Cangyang Gyatso had to change into casual clothes, and asked Tajiannai to shoot arrows by the pool behind the Potala Palace.If Tajianai was busy with his livelihood, he would go to the market in plain clothes to meet him, and sometimes they would go to a nearby wine shop to drink. Tsangyang Gyatso was not worried that someone would recognize him.In order to prevent Tsangyang Gyatso from taking power, Sangye Gyatso rarely allowed him to attend important occasions, and most of the nobles in Lhasa were not familiar with his face.He doesn't even give lectures.And when blessing the people, no one will stare directly at the Living Buddha.More importantly, the people all believed that the Living Buddha lived in the lofty Potala Palace, who would have thought that he would come to this mortal world in person. So he put on civilian clothes and adopted a new name—Dangsang Wangpo.This name symbolizes a new identity, an ordinary person that no one in Lhasa knows, and an aristocratic son who hangs around wine shops.Such a name suddenly gave him a gap in the iron wall sealed around him, allowing him to survive. Sitting in the tavern was Dangsang Wangbo, a son of a rich family, who looked like a cuckoo swaying in the field.He feels that this restaurant is a free ocean.The proprietress of the restaurant always shows everyone that she can melt away the gloomy smile in her heart.The drunken young man gazed at the red-faced girl affectionately.The shy girl expresses her love for her lover with a sweet singing voice.He likes this place full of happiness, equality, freedom, and true feelings, without restraint.He can taste the enchanting wine, and play and sing the love poems he wrote for the girl he likes: Intense and aromatic inland tea, It is most delicious when mixed with tsampa. My beloved lover, It looks beautiful horizontally and vertically! (Translated by Gao Ping) Tsangyang Gyatso has the supreme status, which also makes him lose the freedom and true love rights that he has in the secular world.Dangsang Wangpo is not worshiped by thousands of people, but he has the right to choose to love and be loved.Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless in the world.What's more, what was put on hold for the time being was just a vain name. When tightly trapped by fate, he can only choose to grow smoothly in the cracked spring.There is often no choice in life, but no choice is also a choice.There is also abundant spring in the cracks, and this kind of spring will often have more amazing explosive power. Sanmao once wrote: "I was thinking, when moths fly to the flame, they must be extremely happy. After all, those who go first are happier, and those who stay are not strong. However, in this completely In the bitterness of the heart and the pain of the skin, I still want to say - for the sake of love, this bitter cup of farewell, let me drink it!" I think, not only love, but human yearning - true love Yearning for freedom, yearning for freedom, and yearning for truth all have an astonishing power that makes people desperate.Even if the consequences are unpredictable, it cannot stop people from pursuing. To give up is to have.We often praise those hermits who are indifferent to fame and fortune, who can have a keen insight into the world with wisdom.When fame and wealth are harvested, they can boldly shed their noble status and flee far away.They prefer to believe that they can find the truest self of human nature in the mountains full of flowers and in the ethereal canyons.Only by giving up can they show their value, so they have gained a reputation that is difficult for the world to match.This may be the way for us to break through ourselves. When Tsangyang Gyatso was a child, when he was still a spring grass that had just emerged from the soil, he was already vaguely practicing this truth.Perhaps, as an immature him, he still can't guess what kind of end this "moths to the flame" will bring to his fate.But he has been looking for love and a free body. He picked up the wine glass and started his life of poetry and wine.The sages and sages in ancient times are all lonely, but the drinkers keep their names.Ancient literati always liked to express their emotions with poetry and wine when they were sad and happy.When Chen Wang was in the old days, he had a feast of banquets, and he fought with thousands of people to have fun;Li Bai is probably the one with the highest achievement among them. He "cuts off the water with a knife and makes it flow more, raises a cup to relieve sorrow and sorrow." "Call children to cook chicken and drink white wine, children laugh and hold clothes". Poetry, can be ambitious and clear; wine, can be happy and hearty.I am afraid that the cruel reality makes it difficult to express feelings. Only after returning to poetry and wine can this rare innocence and romance be displayed.Therefore, good wine and poetry opened another door of life for Tsangyang Gyatso. This is just the beginning of the story of Dangsang Wangbo.Just like going through darkness before dawn, Cangyang Gyatso never imagined that he would go through a set of frustrated loves.
