Chapter 38 Section 4

Lama Aruo knelt at the foot of the south wall of the ascetic hall, kowtowing to the line of Tibetan characters on the wall, almost breaking his head. Turns out he still has to thank Dr. Gayo who declared him an enemy.Dr. Jiayang put him in the ascetic hall because everything was under arrangement.Who is arranging?Is it the flesh and blood Maggie Ami who he has never met?Or those fierce protectors who follow and protect the "Gate of the Seven Tara"?Or Dr. Gayang?There is no need to ask any more questions. What is important now is that he must immediately enter the preparatory practice.

The preparatory practice method is the tantric meditation practice in which the Terton master communicates with the gods before digging the treasure, and allows the divinity to attach to himself.Lama Aruo thought that his hard practice of Dharma for decades was preparing for the opening of the "Seven Tara Gate", but he did not expect that he would have to enter the preparatory procedure for practicing the Dharma when it came time to excavate Tibet.The preparatory practice can be long or short, some retreat for a few years, some for ten and a half months, but he only has a few hours, and after a few hours is the morning, "morning to dig Tibet".

He got up from the ground and walked around.There is nothing in the hall of asceticism, no Buddha statues, fireworks, offerings, thangka murals, no cardboard benches, beds, curtains and felts, just clean brick floors and refreshing stone walls.The Buddha said that everything is nowhere and everything is there.The most important thing is to observe and practice. Once you enter the state, you think of the deity, and the hall is full of deities, and you think of the guru, and the guru is everywhere.If you want Maitreya, you have Maitreya, and if you want Ksitigarbha, you have Ksitigarbha.The thousand Buddhas of the virtuous kalpa, the sixteen venerables, the eight dakinis, and the nine consorts of buddhas, as long as you meditate on them, they will appear in front of your eyes.The appearance is accompanied by the empowerment, which means that your preparatory practice is complete, and you can dig into the treasure without hesitation.

Lama Aruo sits facing south, and the practice begins immediately. A few hours passed quickly, and at dawn, when the lama in the big kitchen brought him a pot of buttered tea and a bowl of tsampa, none of the guru, yidam, or dakini he wanted to meet in person appeared. No God authorized him to dig the treasure, and he did not achieve full enlightenment in preparation for practice.He was full of doubts, checking whether he had made a mistake in the rituals of meditation, and felt that he had been deceived by Dr. Jiayang. "Tibet" is not an explicit indication of the gods, but a scribble of Jiayang.He suddenly raised his head, looked at the south wall again, and found that there was nothing there on top of the uniform gray.What about words?Jiayang did not appear, so it was impossible to erase it, which means that Jiayang was also impossible to scribble. How could it not appear and disappear without the express indication of the gods?

Besides, even if it is a line of Tibetan script written by Dr. Jiayang that can disappear at a fixed time, it cannot be considered a deception.The "prophecy" of digging can be bestowed directly by the Dakini protectors, or indirectly through others.The indirect gift is actually to get help from the same people. The enlightenment obtained by Dr. Jiayang, a practitioner of the "Gate of Seven Tara", may be just to pass on the "prophecy" to him, and then guide him and help him, because he is the only digger favored by Master Padmasambhava. Tibetan master. Thinking of this, Lama Aruo felt more relaxed. He sat down, ate a bowl of tsampa, drank a pot of buttered tea, wiped his mouth with his palm, looked up, and saw a beam of sunlight shining through the lintel. Slanting shot in through the narrow window opening.This is the only ray of sunlight in the ascetic hall, projecting on the center of the west wall.There was the outline of a golden Buddha, the outline of the Tantra Supreme Mahayana Tathagata.

Lama Aruo was dizzy with excitement, seeing, seeing, and finally seeing the golden body, and it is the highest god of the Vajrayana, the Tathagata with boundless mana.He got up, stood still, solemnly recited the mantra "Da Ri Tathagata" for a while, and then bowed his head.The top of the head was suddenly warm, as if there was hot paste flowing from it.Enjoying the satisfaction of being enlightened, he slowly got up, watching with teary eyes, the sun disappeared, and a wooden door covered with iron suddenly appeared in the place where the Tathagata had just shined.In fact, he saw that door when he entered it last night. He thought it was the back door of the Hall of Asceticism, so he didn't pay much attention to it.But now he is about to open it. He firmly believes that the door of sunlight and the appearance of the Great Sun Tathagata is the door to the "Seven Tara Gate".

Aruo Lama walked over energetically, and pulled open the iron-clad wooden door with all his strength, and a damp and cold breath came over his face.He took a step back nervously, summoned up his courage to take two steps forward, squinted his eyes for a while, and then saw that the ground under his feet suddenly fell, and a stone step slanted down. It looked like a butter lamp was on.He hesitated to look back, forth, left, and right, stretched his feet and stepped on the stone steps, meditating on the great day Tathagata he had just seen, and moved down one step at a time. Finally at the bottom of the stone steps, he saw a long stupa corridor in front of the butter lamp. There was no one, no breath, only dim lamps extending the stupa to a place he could not see.

He walked along the pagodas and recognized that they were body stupas and stupas, each of which symbolized the past existence of an eminent monk.They passed away and reincarnated. In the vast loneliness, they turned their lives into hard pagodas, and distributed them to time as business cards of Buddhists.He clasped his hands together and kept reciting the six-character mantra to the pagoda. The sound was very small, but the echo was loud, buzzing, and full of echoes.Suddenly the echo disappeared, the arrangement of pagodas had come to an end, and an underground temple with red walls and green tiles appeared in front of it.

The door of the temple is bordered by white skulls, and the inside is dark, with no lights, only a pair of red eyes, a pair of green eyes, and a pair of white eyes with night light.Aruo Lama stopped at the door, distinguishing those eyes.The red color belongs to the four-faced God of Wealth, the green color belongs to the witch Remati, and the white color belongs to the black Karma Yama.These three cool gods are symbols of great secrets and great realms, and often represent the infinite extension of the light and dark poles.He said to himself: Do you want to pass through?You must go through.One temple, one continent, one god, one thousand kalpas, passing through it is the sun of the sky of light, and it is the grand sound of the great terma.What's more, the direction he was going to was the Bodhi Great Silver Pagoda in the Great Golden Tiled Hall, which was the heart of Kumbum Monastery, and it might be where the "Gate of the Seven Tara" was located, and the last terma was quietly waiting for him.

Aruo Lama stepped into the temple step by step, but was hit by an iron wall, making his eyes shine.He sucked in the air-conditioning, and before he could get out, he found that the iron wall had turned into a person. The man said gloomyly: "You're finally here. Do you know this skull knife? Of course you don't. It's a gift from my ancestors, and it's the weapon of the 'Hall of Invisible Human Blood Curse'." The cold skull knife was stuck to Aruo Lama's cheek. "When you publicly apostasy and announced the achievement of meditation, we wanted to kill you. Later, we saw that you didn't do anything, so let's forget it. I didn't expect you to chase after Prince Chambord and chased after Rab Lengsi, I chased after Kumbum Monastery again. The chance of death is always created by oneself, just like now, I am waiting for the appearance of Prince Chambord, but you come to die uncontrollably, so I have to kill you first, and then Prince Chambord .”

Lama Aruo was trembling all over, and he stammered and asked, "You, how did you come here?" "I can come in through the holy door of the Bodhi Great Silver Pagoda, can't I?" The skeleton killer laughed out loud, shaking the underground temple a little.With a bang, the skull knife left Aruo Lama's cheek and was about to stab it. Aruo Lama fell to the ground with a hoarse scream. "Who are you, dare to kill people here?" A woman's voice suddenly sounded, sharp and thin like a needle. The Skeleton Killer hurriedly turned around, only to see a gleaming white hand in front of him, and immediately thought of the green-eyed Remati Witch in the temple, and the Witch stepped forward to interfere with him.He stepped over Aruo Lama and wanted to run, but realized that the way he had come was a retreat, so he turned around and ran towards the north gate of the temple.
