Chapter 32 Section 4

The weather is getting muggy and it looks like it's going to rain again.Lanzhou used to be a dry city with little rain. The rain has suddenly increased in recent years, and it rained as soon as it was said, without brewing.Among the horsemen docked at the bridge of the Yellow River, the heat and sweat were entangled together, and Prince Chambord was smoking one by one, and the three of them were crying and coughing.But the attention is not distracted at all, as if the world does not exist, except Tsangyang Gyatso and Maggie Ami and love songs. Suddenly Mesa said: "It seems that without Maggie Ami, there would be no love songs by Tsangyang Gyatso."

Prince Chambord said: "It's right to think this way. In Tsangyang Gyatso's life, Maggie Ami occupies the most important position. Without her, not only would there be no love songs, but there would be no Tsangyang Gyatso. If Tsangyang Gyatso It is a symbol of love, and Maggie Ami is the nanny of love, who induced and nurtured Tsangyang Gyatso's love. She is like the ancestor of the mountain sect, starting from this, the mountains are endless, and the water is soupy." "It's enviable," Mesa said from the bottom of her heart. Prince Chambord said: "Do you know why the peacock tail hair is the symbol of Maggie Ami? Because in Indian folklore, the peacock princess is the most beautiful woman in the sky and the earth, and the manifestation of the essence of heaven and earth. Buddhism uses this to play and say that all Before the Tara god became a Buddhist goddess through Avalokitesvara, she was the reincarnation of a peacock, and she had the experience from a peacock princess to a mortal woman. The peacock is a beautiful and holy spiritual creature, and the women reincarnated from it have The birthmark of the blue peacock's tail."

Mesa said, "Maggie Ami, Maggie Ami marked by peacock tail hair." Prince Chambord said: "Tsangyang Gyatso also has an animal symbol, that is, parrot. In Tibetan legend, parrot is a symbol of love." Mesa looked at the golden key of the parrot head on Prince Chambord's chest and said: "You are not talking about yourself, are you? It's a pity that your parrot head is forged. If it grows out, it will grow on you. Then you are the reincarnation of Tsangyang Gyatso." "This is the forging of the gods, the treasure of my ancestors, as important as my life."

"That can't avoid repetition. The gods forge a lot of them, and each person sends one. Your ancestors got one by chance. And I believe that the 'parrot' who can represent Tsangyang Gyatso is definitely the only parrot in the world. .” Zhimei said slowly: "Can you be serious, you always digress." Prince Chambord said: "This is the charm of love, it is love that makes digging aside." Mesa said: "Generally speaking, the purpose of termas is to ensure that the holy teaching will not disappear, the teachings will not be mixed, the blessing will not weaken, and the lineage will not be broken. But the terma of the 'Gate of Seven Tara' is On the contrary, the ever-appearing "prophecy"—the love song of Tsangyang Gyatso let us touch the soul of a religious rebel. He negated the sacred precepts with secular love, which made the Holy Church feel terrified. The terrified may be It is the only gift that the leader brought to the holy religion, but what the holy religion brought him was depression, depression and anger."

Prince Chambord said: "It can only be said that this is the case for the time being. I don't believe that Tsangyang Gyatso will be depressed to the end, depressed to the end, and angry to the end. This is our difference. You believe that anger is extreme and long-lasting, but I only believe in love. Tsangyang Gyatso sang love songs in Tibet, and easily dominated people's spirits with love songs. Why? Because Tibet needs love just like religion. Love and religion are not only incompatible, but also a cement of each other. It is the best blend of water and milk in the world."

Zhimei said: "This is just your wish. We are facing a sin-cleaning world. The existence of religion is not to pursue love first, but to wash away sins." Prince Chambord said excitedly: "If there are no sins, what does religion cleanse? Tsangyang Gyatso has neither, nor have I, and I believe neither of you." Zhimei said: "So this world does not need religion." Seeing that Prince Chambord opened his eyes wide and wanted to refute, Mesa hurriedly said: "Stop talking about this, let's concentrate on digging down." She picked up the "Lucid Text" to have a look.Probably due to the long-term rotation of the prayer wheel, the corners are somewhat damaged, and the paper is densely covered with wrinkles, but the ancient terma language is still clearly discernible under the sun, and her translation is next to the terma language.She said, "Having understood the history given to us by the 'granting', we now have to face the reality, what does the following 'guidance' mean?" She began to read:

The red of the umbilical cord, the emerald green of enlightenment, the roar of Manjusri lion. The Tower of Julian, the Temple of Maitreya, and Gunbenxian Bahrain. Inside the Holy Gate, the trace of Wanma, Yizhuo Ramji. Prince Chambord said: "I want to hear your opinions." Mesa said anxiously: "Don't keep it secret, we don't have a good opinion, we just want to hear from you." Prince Chambord lit a cigarette and took a drag. Mesa took out a tissue and wiped his eyes and said, "Stop smoking, okay? You smoke and drink, your body is full of dirty poison, and you are not clean at all. According to the rules, people who are not clean are not allowed to approach termas."

Prince Chambord said: "What is impure is the mind. My mind is even more filthy, with wild thoughts. I know that I am not worthy of digging, but why did I get it?" "When the opportunity comes, you have to change yourself," Mesa said. Prince Chambord said: "It's very difficult. Let's not talk about me, let's say 'Guide'. 'The Red of the Umbilical Cord' obviously refers to Tsongkhapa and his birthplace. 'Tsongkhapa' is an ancient place name in Tibetan, referring to Gannan. To the west of Tsongkajieri, the main peak of Jishi Mountain, to the east of Qinghai Lake, and to the south of Huangshui River. At the beginning, Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, was grateful for the merits of the great master Sina Lama to the court. Selection in Tibet. Lama Sina spent four years walking around, finally selected Dzongkha, and told the emperor that this is a treasure land for saints. Whether Emperor Manjushri granted it or not, I will live here. Lama Sina The place where he lives, eight valleys and eight rivers are arranged like lotus flowers, named Tsongkha Lotus Mountain. Ninety years later, at dawn on October 10, 1357, the second Buddha Tsongkhapa was born in the arms of Tsongkha Lotus Mountain. Mother After Xiangsa Aqu cut the umbilical cord, the blood dripped and seeped into the ground through the carpet. Soon, a miraculous linden tree grew in this place, and the green branches and leaves rose up to cover the small tent. Later, Tsongkhapa founded the Gelug Sect in Tibet, and the Tsongkhapa Lotus Mountain became the ancestral mountain of the Gelug Sect.”

Mesa asked, "What about 'The Emerald of Enlightenment, Manjushri Lion's Roar'?" Prince Chambord said: "'Enlightenment' refers to the tree, which is the sandalwood tree. Years later, he came under the bodhi tree, sat cross-legged, and made an oath to the sky: "Enlightenment is here. If not, I will not leave the Zen seat." Later, he really became enlightened, and the bodhi tree became the tree of enlightenment and the tree of thinking. The Bodhi tree, nurtured by Tsongkhapa's mother's umbilical cord blood, has deep roots and luxuriant leaves, and one hundred thousand leaves are fragrant. The veins on each leaf clearly show a lion roaring Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is dark green or light green, and the bark It also shows the five-character heart mantra of Manjusri Bodhisattva. The Lion Roaring Buddha is the seventh phantom body of Sakyamuni, who entrusted Manjusri Bodhisattva to reincarnate in Tsongkhap Lotus Mountain, that is Tsongkhapa."

Mesa said: "What is the 'Pagoda of Gathering Lotus, Temple of Maitreya, and Bahrain'?" Prince Chambord said: "It is Kumbum Monastery in Qinghai. At that time, Tsongkhapatuo, who was studying the law in Tibet, brought a letter asking his mother to protect the Bodhi tree. Tsongkhapa's mother, together with local donors and believers, used a lion roaring Buddha statue as a fetus. , wrapped the trunk of the bodhi tree with yellow silk and inlaid stone slabs around it to build a Julian Pagoda. The Julian Pagoda is the earliest Buddhist building in Dzongka Lianhua Mountain.

"Later, the great Zen master Renqin Zongzhe Jianzan built a Han-style palace in the Ming Dynasty according to the dream teachings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In the palace, a gilded sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha was molded with clay. Mother, the ashes of the holy bones of Master Atisha, the vestments of Master Shakyamuni, the cassock of Master Tsongkhapa’s hair, the frontal bone of Tsongkhapa’s father who manifested the image of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Sakyamuni from India and Nepal Small bronze statue of Ni, etc. This is the earliest Buddhist temple in Tsongkha Lotus Mountain, called Maitreya Temple. "In the mountain bosom of Tsongka Lianhua Mountain, there is a pagoda first, and then a temple. The believers of the Han nationality call "tago" "taer" for the sake of being friendly. When combined with "temple", it becomes "pagoda". "Temple" or "Tar Monastery". The Tibetan name still used today is "Gunben Xianbalin", "Gun" means "Buddha's body image", "Ben" means "one hundred thousand", and "Gunben" means "ten The statues of ten thousand Buddhas' and 'Xianbalin' are Maitreya Temple, and together they are the 'Maitreya Continent of One Hundred Thousand Buddhas'." Mesa said, "What do you mean by 'Within the Holy Gate, the trace of Wanma'?" Prince Chambord said: "Later, the Julian Pagoda was rebuilt several times and covered with a Buddhist hall, and became the Bodhi Silver Pagoda standing in the ventilated courtyard of the Dajinwa Temple today. There are gold-plated decorations in the middle, inlaid with many agates, corals, lapis lazuli, and turquoise. At the top of the tower, there is a niche for the Buddha, which is lined with rocs, treasure elephants, lions, auspicious dragons, auspicious deer, and victorious mother. The gold-plated statue of Tsongkhapa wearing a human crown. The Bodhi Dayin Pagoda is the premier treasure offering deity in Kumbum Monastery, known as the first pagoda of the Yellow Sect and the most solemn in the world. "It has been more than 600 years since the Bodhi Great Silver Pagoda appeared. No matter how it is rebuilt and rebuilt, there is always a holy door on the base, leading to the Bodhi tree, 100,000 leaves, and 100,000 lions roaring Buddha statues. The holy door is very It is seldom opened by people. Among all the documents about the Bodhi Great Silver Pagoda, there is only one record of opening the holy door, and that is "Nima Sangge" written by Wanma Living Buddha. Scraping the resin of the bodhi tree as the holy glue to stick the medicinal clay Buddha head back after being stolen. The temple decided to open the holy door, and all the Sangha recommended Wanma Living Buddha to drill into the holy door to scrape the holy glue. When he finished the task and came out, A leaf was found falling on the shoulder, and a statue of a lion roaring Buddha appeared very clearly on it." Mesa said: "'Sacred Gate' is clear, and 'Wanma' is also basically clear. Is it possible to understand it this way: Inside the holy gate of the Bodhi Great Silver Pagoda, the place where Wanma Living Buddha left traces is the 'seven Where is Tara's Gate?" Prince Chambord said: "It is likely to be so. Because it is followed by 'Yizhuo Ramji', 'Ji' is the abbreviation of 'Deji', and 'Deji' means happiness. For example, 'Zhuomaji' means 'happiness. Tara'; 'Yi Zhuo Ram Ji' means 'happy Yi Zhuo Ram. Gyatso's love song." As he spoke, he sang: Beloved Idralam, I was caught by the hunter, But by powerful officials, Prince Northang took it away. Mesa said: "Cangyang Gyatso lost his love, the tone is so sad." Prince Chambord said: "Pursuing but not getting it is called falling in love. This love song seems to be about me. I can discover any 'prophecy' based on my state of mind." Mesa immediately changed the topic: "I found that you are very familiar with Kumbum Monastery." Prince Chambord said: "I have been to all the monasteries related to Tsangyang Gyatso more than once. According to some legends, Kumbum Monastery is the home of Tsangyang Gyatso. His bones were cremated here. Different rainbow clouds appeared, and the body gradually became smaller, as small as a foot, and then disappeared. At this time, many gods and goddesses appeared, dressed in beautiful clothes and playing fairy music, to welcome Tsangyang Gyatso's spiritual consciousness to the south. It's where he was reincarnated." Mesa said, "Let's go quickly, Qinghai Kumbum Monastery." At this time, they found that the Wrangler had already started, heading towards the Lanning (Lanzhou-Xining) Expressway.Prince Chambord gave a "huh" and said, "Zhimei is a descendant of Master Xuanyu after all, she already knew where we were going." Zhimei said: "I have already done the divination, and it is the same as what you said." But Zhimei stopped immediately, and stopped very close to the public toilet.Mesa got out of the car and went to the bathroom.Prince Chambord looked at her back and thought that the two of them had a tacit understanding. Mesa didn't say anything, and Zhimei knew that she needed convenience. Prince Chambord said: "Chimi, I want to remind you that now is the time for you to keep your promise." Zhimei said: "Labrang Monastery is your blessed place. I know what I should do. However, I remind you that even if I give up her, you may not be able to get her." Prince Chambord smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know Mesa's heart just as I know my own heart." When he was on the road again, Prince Chambord fell asleep with his head tilted on the seat, and there was always a figure floating high in his sleep, asking who are you?After asking several times without answering, he suddenly shouted: "Mesa, Mesa, why are you still jumping down?" Mesa woke him up by shaking him: "What are you talking about? It's your Poen Tso who jumped down." Prince Chambord rubbed his eyes and said, "Ponentso, why did I forget Poentso?"
