Chapter 24 Chapter 23 Fleeing Years

No matter what era, power is always something that makes people crazy.Those who are swayed by power will end up either happy or sad, and there is almost no room for turning around. Power, like money, is not the root of all evil.The wheel of history is rolling forward, and it is precisely because there are thousands of people who are devoted to power that there are changes of dynasties and progress of the times.Some people put power in a cage and bask in the sun, and regard power as a gift from the people, and power is just a tool for him to benefit all people.But some people regard power as their own pocket. Power is not only what he needs in the end, but also a tool for him to satisfy his greedy desires.However, the endless desire is doomed to a tragic ending.

In ancient society, the most common and simplest way of inheriting power was "hereditary system", that is, the father passed the status to his son.The living Buddha reincarnation system is almost a replica of this inheritance method.However, there is no father and son in Buddhism, so the concept of reincarnation is used to continue this blood lineage.Such a way of inheritance sounds more direct than inheritance from father to son. It is the spiritual connection between the self and the self.It is like an ancient emperor, a myth that intends to last forever in the world. In 1283, the eminent monk of the Karma Kagyu Sect, Bhaxi Chokyi, passed away.In order to continue the vested interests of the sect, he based on "the immortality of consciousness, the cycle of life and death, and the reappearance of incarnations". The child is the reincarnated soul boy.In this way, the system of living Buddha reincarnation was established and developed.The reincarnated living Buddha can also inherit the merits and deeds of the previous living Buddha.

The rapid spread of Buddhism has also led to the expansion of power and status.The six pure Buddhism is closely entangled with power and status.In the reincarnation series of living Buddhas, the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama are the two largest living Buddha reincarnation systems, and they also have the greatest power. Therefore, after the fifth Dalai Lama unified the entire Tibetan area, the system of living Buddha reincarnation was also used by careerists and became a tool for power struggle.In order to avoid the continued expansion of this political struggle, in 1793, the Qing government promulgated the "Drawing Lots from the Golden Urn" system.The emperor of the Qing Dynasty specially set up two gold vases, one was kept by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the other was placed in the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa.When searching for the soul boy, the four guardians wrote the name and date of birth of the soul boy on the sign in Manchu, Chinese and Tibetan, and then put them in a gold bottle. Each Hutuktu and the ministers stationed in Tibet officially recognized it in front of the statue of Sakyamuni.Such a system, to a certain extent, curbs disputes over rights and interests and promotes stability in Tibet.

But in the era of Tsangyang Gyatso, there was no such system as "drawing lots from the golden urn" to restrain the breeding of various ambitions.If Tsangyang Gyatso is obsessed with power, with his intelligence, as long as he puts his mind to it a little bit, I am afraid that his life will not pass in such a hurry.But Tsangyang Gyatso is not a person who is controlled by power after all, but a person who deals with power, if he cannot grasp power tightly, will inevitably become a grass that is trampled under the feet of power. Cangyang Gyatso is not a slave to power, he is a lamb of love.At this time, he was seventeen or eighteen years old.Although it is not the first time to experience suffering, it is more or less childish, and youthful and frivolous.In his eyes, the world is as holy and beautiful as Gesang Meiduo on the plateau.But after all, the spring in this gap is too short.And this spring will one day be replaced by summer.The gap between reality will make dreams crowded.

Putting love in reality is always a cruel and blurred thing.I always want to have a vigorous and unrestrained love, which has the tension of the sky and the tenderness like water.But when love is in our hands, we find that the expectation at the beginning is like a floating cloud, so beautiful and high above, but it is easy to disappear with the wind. The management of love seems romantic, but it is intertwined with forbearance, one stitch at a time, one brick at a time.Realistic utilitarianism and egoism, like a sharp sword piercing love, deeply hurt our nerves. But separating love from reality is not an easy task.Think about Cangyang Gyatso, the reincarnated soul boy, the sixth Dalai Lama, the king of the snowy land, and the incomparably noble sun, but he and the stars looking at each other never meet.The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between trees, but the branches that grow from the same root, but they cannot depend on each other in the wind!In Tagore's poems, the witty words break the mystery.The love of the world is thin, and the love of people is evil.Cangyang Gyatso's love is destined to perform a love affair in troubled times in this political vortex.

The poignant beauty of love's struggle did not impress those who are obsessed with power.Fortunately, Tsangyang Gyatso is not someone else. He is the son of Tashi Tenzin and Tsewang Ramu. The persistence of father and mother to fight for love has been continued in their beloved son. The political situation is turbulent outside, but in the tavern on the street, it is a different scene: full of laughter, tenderness like water, and wedding like a dream.The beautiful girl sang softly, the love poem bestowed upon her by her lover.Deep love rippling in her eyes.The wine mixed with hot love made Dangsang Wangbo a little drunk, and the world changed from clear black and white to colorful and colorful in a trance.The beloved girl is the graceful flower fairy among them.

But this kind of beautiful scenery is just a romantic moment in a small boat that cannot be smaller on the stormy sea.The coming storm will bring a fatal blow to this boat, this romance. The secret of fleeting years is to record every stroke of life in the years.What Cangyang Gyatso hopes is to record his love words in the cycle of fleeting years.But he forgot that this is exactly what some people don't want to see.But he didn't care about it, enjoying love to the fullest, and writing about his fleeting years wantonly. It has become his habit to go to that lover's place every night.But he will always return to the Potala Palace before dawn, just like a Mosuo man walking by the Lugu Lake to get married.He was so familiar with this road that he couldn't be more familiar. He stepped on the dirt and forgot the changes of the four seasons.So, on a snowy day, he walked on the snow.His heart was full of love.This snowstorm is nothing!

Hetu's "Lhasa Snow" was written for him, with a melodious melody and a sad lament, as if it is the deep affection that has accumulated for thousands of years, penetrating time and time: The snow in Lhasa has been chaotic for thousands of years quietly piled up until the world of mortals annihilated The incense in my hand burns brightly and darkly Deep and shallow footprints on the snow Seems like a prophecy with no end Like them kneeling in front of the snow mountain whispered many wishes Followed the crowd through a few streets Sitting on the side of the road holding butter tea

Imagining the face of Maggie Ami Can't let it go, the expectation is very low The legendary love is always beautiful and far away The story is over, no one is speechless Looking up, I saw a different blue sky She sits beside the Potala Palace thought for a long time How many times have I walked the lazy street That wind horse also watched for many days The people around me smiled and sighed tiredly Sunshine and rain suddenly appear snow What do you understand between the four seasons? snow on sunny days, moon on rainy nights Tracks in the mist start to become apparent From now on, the mood is no longer shallow

Say goodbye to those sad words The flowers planted in the previous life will bloom in roadside of this life Waking up forgetting the nighttime snowstorm What is cold is snow, what is hot is love.The swirling snow, with the legend of the reincarnation of time, dances wildly.In the dawn of heavy snowfall, he bid farewell to his beloved girl, and walked alone in this holy world, one deep and one shallow.Looking back suddenly, there is a series of deep and shallow footprints. This is walking alone on the snow, lonely in the ice and snow, as if the whole world is cold against him alone.But he still walks on the snow, he is resolute and persistent in his own direction.A string of solitude, telling the helplessness of the past, and predicting the unknown future, seems to be his stumbling life.

The fleeting year is destined to record a trace that caused a sensation in the world in this snowy season. The attendants arranged by Sangye Gyatso at the small side door of the Potala Palace were awakened by the cold at the coldest dawn of the snowy night.Blindfolded, he walked through the small side door, and a series of footprints at the door woke him up from the fog.Could it be that there are also thieves here in the Potala Palace?The attendant rubbed his eyes vigorously. He found a stick and tiptoedly followed the string of wet traces to find the trace of the thief.But he followed all the way, but he followed the Dalai Lama's bedroom. A thief entered the Dalai Lama's bedroom?The attendant's heart was beating wildly. What if the thief hurt the Dalai Lama?The attendants brought in the lama who was in charge of the Dalai Lama's daily life, and the latter was also nervous when he heard his report.They carefully opened the door of the Dalai Lama's room, but what they could see was that the wet footprints extended all the way to the Dalai Lama's bed.On the bed, the Dalai Lama was sleeping peacefully, other than that, there was no one else in the bedroom. At this moment, they understood one thing, the footprints were not someone else's, but Dalai's own.He carried them behind his back, went out the small side door, and only came back after playing in the mortal world.The lama who was in charge of the Dalai Lama's daily life told his attendants not to make any public about this matter, so he closed the palace and went to find Sangye Gyatso. The perplexed attendant was always puzzled by this matter.He knows that his duty is to guard the small side door, but now the Dalai Lama is freely entering and leaving under his nose.Once Diba blamed him, it was his own dereliction of duty.He was extremely terrified, worried about the upcoming punishment.But curiosity was heavier than his worries. He wanted to know where the Dalai Lama had gone on this snowy night. He opened the small side door, and a silvery world appeared in front of him instantly.But the attendant's eyes were not shocked by the beautiful scenery, but instead he was attracted by the clear footprints on the snow.It was a series of footprints spreading from the darkness in the distance, pointing to the place where the Dalai Lama had been.The attendant put on a padded jacket and walked into the world of snow to find out the doubts in his heart. At dawn, he found a house.He found out that a beautiful girl lived in this house.She also has a lover who is handsome and can write the best love songs in Lhasa.The attendant suddenly realized that the Dalai Lama's trip on a snowy night was for this woman.He has broken the precepts of the monks and is living in love with a secular woman! The servant was shocked.Although he knew that the sixth Dalai Lama he served was a maverick, who liked to wear common clothes, grow long hair, and write poetry.But it is really unbelievable for him to believe that the Dalai Lama broke the vow. He suddenly understood Diba's earnest entrustment to him. It turned out that he was Diba's messenger dog arranged by the door where the Dalai Lama entered and exited the mortal world.But he completely messed up the matter, he even let the Dalai Lama have the opportunity to come and go freely!Fearful, he hurried back to the Potala Palace, and he wanted to tell Diba everything he knew to redeem his sins. But there were not one or two people who knew about it. Although Diba asked to keep the matter secret, the rumors spread like dandelions blown away by the wind.Soon, everyone in Tibet knew that their 6th Dalai Lama had left "criminal evidence" of "deviance" on the snow. His dating with his lover was discovered by the lama in charge of the key to the side door of the Potala Palace. up. In this winter, rumors are whistling throughout Tibet like chaotic snow.Everyone was surprised by the news.But for the common people in Lhasa, they were more surprised than angry.It turned out that Dangsang Wangbo, who lived with them day and night, was the living Buddha they admired the most. They were so close to the god in their hearts. The story of the Dalai Lama began to become a legend.His voice and smile, his amiability, his gentleness, his generosity and wealth, and his love songs, everything has become a topic of discussion.Although his behavior is more like a prodigal son, but for the world who respect the Living Buddha, his closeness is actually closer to their hearts than the alienation from aloof.For the Dalai Lama, even more love grew in their hearts. But for nobles, for monks, this is a great shame.They were shocked by the fact that the Dalai Lama had broken the vow. They did not believe that the Dalai Lama who guided them with faith broke his vow!They clamored to see the Dalai Lama, wanting to prove the truth of the matter. But this was definitely not what Sangye Gyatso wanted. He rejected everyone's request and only told them that everything was a rumor.Seeing their disbelieving eyes, he could only temporarily suppress the superficial agitated reaction with his Diba's authority.But he knew that this matter could no longer be concealed.But the only thing he can do is to insist on denying everything when everything does not exist, so as to maintain the superficial peace. But how long can this superficial calm last?Even Sangye Gyatso himself did not know. Unexpectedly, in this vortex, Tsangyang Gyatso was extremely calm, as if he was just a hasty spectator.Perhaps, in his view, this is the time to express his attitude.He is not afraid of being deposed, nor is he afraid of being spurned by thousands of people.Clothing and food, being admired by thousands of people, and embraced by others, has never been what he wants, and he doesn't want to be involved in unprovoked political whirlpools. A free life is more precious. So he frankly wrote several poems that were later widely circulated: Walking Lhasa at night chasing Qiluo, The famous prodigal son is Wang Bo. Now secrets are useless, There are many footprints of Qiongyao along the way. (Translated by Zeng Yan) People gossip about me, Admittedly not bad. The youth walks lightly, Been to the shopkeeper's house. (Translated by Xiao Tiyan) On the edge of love and pain, "what's the use of keeping secrets"?This is shocking in his daring, freedom and frankness.In pursuit of freedom, he actually had the courage to give up fame and fortune.This magnanimity made everyone feel ashamed. People are used to uneasiness, and the real situation always makes people feel awkward.Any choice is a difficult one, as if letting go any time will be a lifetime of regret.People in the world are stingy with what they get, not to mention giving it up, even sharing it is difficult and difficult.For the gains, people in the world have worked hard, worked hard, worked hard, and worked hard.But in the end, the gains evaporated.What is left is the kind of heart-wrenching pain, which becomes a entanglement in people's hearts that can never be solved. However, the king of the snowy region is so affordable and let go.His frankness and magnanimity are completely natural, turning the rumors all over the sky into a fragrance of flowers and rain.His date seemed not to be such an embarrassing scandal, but a life that could not be more open.The world seems to be able to see his frank smile from his poems. Once again, the world was shocked.No one thought that Tsangyang Gyatso would admit his love.What an unexpected act!But more people are conquered by his frankness, they believe that this is the living Buddha's greatest concern for the world.He is using his words and deeds to practice the truth, goodness and beauty in Buddhism. Therefore, later eminent monks of Tibetan Buddhism spoke highly of him: "The Sixth Dalai Lama, with the mundane dharma, let ordinary people see the vast spiritual world in the mundane dharma, and his poems and songs have purified the souls of generations. With the most sincere compassion, he made ordinary people feel that the Dharma is not unattainable, and his uniqueness allows us to receive the true teachings!" In the eyes of the world, this world-famous romantic poet, with his nature He is free, wise and unrestrained, and devotes himself to poetry. In this way, he has purified the hearts of thousands of people. The world has a deeper love for Cangyang Gyatso, and even folk songs sing: Day by day, Tsangyang Gyatso, Go on a date! what he seeks, It's just the life of ordinary people. The world understood his behavior in his calmness.He made the world feel the value of love. In the cycle of fleeting years, Cangyang Gyatso, with the wisdom of a child, understood the true wisdom and true feelings in the world.The immature him, like a spring grass with a frail body that has just emerged from the soil, has escaped the evil and ferocity of the world, and sticks to his own nature.What he left behind is not only those fascinating songs through the ages, but also the earth-shattering performance of his fearless struggle for his dream. His natural and frank public love, colliding fiercely with the real social rules, is like a thunderbolt breaking through the time tunnel, which is deafening.
