Chapter 73 Section 7

The Tibetan Academy of Social Sciences is located on Sera South Road, east of the Potala Palace and north of the Jokhang Temple.They didn't know it was Saturday until the taxi took them here.The porter asked them to come back the day after tomorrow. Prince Chambord said: "We are from Beijing, looking for experts, consulting an important issue, and we are leaving the day after tomorrow." The concierge asked sympathetically: "What kind of experts are you looking for and what kind of questions do you want to consult?" He said and picked up the phone. Prince Chambord said: "Our question is, which monasteries in Lhasa were repaired and rebuilt in 1703 AD, which is the 42nd year of Kangxi. Who do you think is suitable?"

The concierge dialed a number and said, "Teacher Cedeng, two people from Beijing are looking for you." Then he gave the number to Prince Chambord. Prince Chambord said a few polite words, and then raised the question. The other party said, "You should go ask Tashi Wangdui?" The call was disconnected. The concierge muttered something, and made a few more phone calls, but the other party said that it is best to ask Tashi Wangdui for such a question. Prince Chambord bowed to the porter and said, "Please, help us find Tashi Wangdui." The concierge laughed "puchi" and said, "Tashi Wangtui is my son. They couldn't answer your question, so they kicked my son. Because I said that one of my sons will be worth a hundred of them in the future. They are Remember my hatred and mock me."

Prince Chambord said: "Then ask your son." The concierge smiled even more happily: "What does my son know? He is only seven years old. He doesn't like to go to school. He plays truant at home all day. He still doesn't know all the Tibetan and Chinese languages. With this little time, you might as well go to Tibet University to ask questions. There are more experts and professors than our social science faculty.” Prince Chambord and Mesa took a taxi straight to Tibet University on Jiangsu Road.Although it was Saturday, the professors and lecturers of the Department of History were all in meetings, some of them were holding a meeting to evaluate professional titles, and some were holding an academic exchange meeting with the participation of American Tibetologists.Four well-educated people were called out from two venues, and the result of asking for advice was almost unanimous: the major repairs and reconstructions of important monasteries can be found, but they cannot be found in Lhasa within two years after 1703. Records of temple repairs. "Why don't you go ask Tashi Wangdui?"

When he walked out of Tibet University, Mesa said: "A concierge's outrageous words looking forward to his son's future have caused such a big repercussion in Tibetan academic circles. Everyone knows it, and everyone is extremely serious. They are too small-minded." Prince Chambord said: "There may be another reason behind the serious sarcasm, that is, this child is worthy of them, not to mention that it is not necessarily sarcasm." Mesa said, "You mean we're going to meet the kid?" They didn't expect that a well-educated person had followed them, and was calling a person named Qiuji Zangpo respectfully: "Master, this man and woman are really inquiring about the repair and reconstruction of the Lhasa monastery after 1703 AD. "Chogyi Sangpo's old voice came from the phone: "Ah, maybe, maybe the long-awaited time has come, tell me their whereabouts at any time."

Prince Chambord and Mesa returned to the Tibet Academy of Social Sciences. The concierge asked proudly: "How is it? My son is famous, right?" Prince Chambord said: "You let us run around to show off your son?" The concierge smiled triumphantly and said, "It's not easy to have such a son, go and see my son." His tone seemed to be that his son was already a big shot. The concierge took them to the downstairs of the residence of the Academy of Social Sciences.His son, a purple-faced, dark-skinned child, was chasing each other with a puppy.The concierge waved and shouted: "Come here, someone is asking for advice. They are from Beijing." He said "Ask for advice" loudly and seriously, and then introduced solemnly, "This is the Tashi you want to see. Wangdui."

The child and the puppy ran over together.Prince Chambord felt that it was inappropriate for him to ask a seven-year-old child with a snotty nose, so he put his hips on his hips and said with a smile, "I'm here to test you today." The child wiped his snot with his sleeve and said, "Hee hee, you are not a teacher, so you will test you no matter what." Prince Chambord said, "How do you know I'm not a teacher?" The child said: "There are no women around my teacher, but there are women around you." Prince Chambord said: "So your teacher is a Buddha, and you are a Buddhist?"

The child nods. Prince Chambord said: "Listen carefully, let me ask you, which monasteries in Lhasa were repaired and rebuilt in 1703 AD, that is, in the two years after the 42nd year of Kangxi?" The child said, "What you inquired about is a secret." Prince Chambord was stunned for a moment: "How do you know it's a secret?" The child said: "If you know the repairs and reconstructions, you will know which temples have had fires. The fires are a secret." Prince Chambord asked: "Who told you that the fire is a secret?" "What is not recorded is a secret, as the lamas in Sera Monastery say."

"Have you ever been to Sera Monastery?" "My family lives in Sera Monastery." "Your family doesn't live in Sera Monastery, your family lives in Sera Road." "The Sera Monastery is at the end of the Sera Road." Tashi Wangdui said and was about to leave. Prince Chambord suddenly knelt down and grabbed him and said, "What else do you know?" The child said: "I still know about you... I won't say anything." He broke free from Prince Chambord's hand and chased after the puppy who ran away. The concierge smacked his lips and said, "How about it, please comment." Seeing the child fall to the ground, he ran over distressedly, "Slow down, slow down."

Prince Chambord stared blankly at the child and said: "We have met the soul boy. He must be the reincarnation of a living Buddha, but he has not been invited to the monastery yet. He is only seven years old. Even if he is precocious, he is a genius, it is impossible to know these things. And he seems to know that we are coming, what we are doing, he believes in our fate with him, and finally told the secret that only he knows — Sera Monastery.” A sad look flashed across Mesa's face: "No, I don't think he is the reincarnated soul boy of a Living Buddha." "Why do you say that?"

Looking at the ground, Mesa thought and said, "I may be facing an example of termonology research. From terma to excavation, in the long period of thousands or hundreds of years, countless types of lineages can be transformed. One of them is that the dakini uses the power of divine transformation to borrow the womb, and the person who gets the womb is the middle link. Just like the child who sends the chicken feather letter, once the digger appears, he will intentionally or unintentionally dig up the womb. The Tibetan information is sent out. Sending out will complete the mission, and the vow of the dakini will disappear. Sometimes it is just the disappearance of spirituality and expression, and sometimes it is the disappearance of life. That is to say, in the chain of inheritance, the final excavation The person who crosses the river is actually a bridge breaker. He has to tear down many bridges, because a correct and great excavation can only appear once, and all kinds of information about termas can only appear once. If it appears a second time, it is a There is neither terma nor the chaotic process of excavation, which means that the 'first appearance' has no result. Since there is no effect, there is also no cause, so a phenomenon has neither cause nor effect. And Buddha is the aggregation of cause and effect, where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and where there is an effect, there must be a cause, or, the cause is the effect, and the effect is the cause, and the world without cause and effect or only cause and no effect is a world other than Buddha.”

Prince Chambord nodded and said, "You mean, we have already killed the child?" Mesa said nervously: "Maybe the child killed us." A group of lamas that Prince Chambord and Mesa had never seen suddenly appeared in the courtyard. They wore yellow five-foddha crowns and red capes with gem belts on their backs. He still holds the magic weapon of the vajra in his hand.They looked around and went straight to where the children were. "Tashi Wangdui, who is Tashi Wangdui?" a lama with a square face asked. The concierge held the child's hand and asked, "Are you also here to ask questions? Come tomorrow, Tashi Wangdui is very busy today." He still said "asking" loudly and seriously. The lama with a square face rushed to the child, grabbed him, and asked sternly, "What did you say to those two people?" The child was terrified and cried "Wow".The interrogation by Lama Guozilian became more and more urgent. The porter said: "What are you going to do? Is this the attitude to ask for advice?" The five big and three thick Chinese-faced lamas picked up the child and threatened, "Say it quickly, or I will take you away if you don't tell me." Several other lamas pushed the porter aside. The concierge realized that the matter was a bit serious and lost all complacency. He separated the lamas, rushed to hug his son, and narrated the conversation between his son and Prince Chambord just now. "Sera Monastery, Tashi Wangdui talked about Sera Monastery." Lama Guozilian took out his mobile phone and called Chokyi Sangpo who sent him. The instruction he got was to bring the man and woman to Jokhang Temple and tell them about Sera Monastery. You can't go to the temple, it is the guidance of the devil, and you are throwing yourself into a trap. All those who are against the fate will intercept them at the gate of Sera Monastery.The lama with a square face put down his mobile phone and directed all the lamas to chase after Prince Chambord and Mesa. Prince Chambord and Mesa had already run towards the gate of the Academy of Social Sciences.They have been escaping since Beijing, and have been trained to be good at escaping. A group of lamas with five Buddha crowns on top and big cloaks on their bodies are their opponents.The escape and the chase barely take shape, and they just disappear. Prince Chambord and Mesa didn't actually go far.They came to the outside of the Academy of Social Sciences and ran half a circle along the wall, then suddenly climbed over the wall and returned to the yard.They really want to know, is it like what Mesa said, once the child tells the secret that only he knows, that is, sends out the excavation information given by the fetus, he will lose his spirituality, expression, and even life. The yard was full of people, talking about what just happened.After hearing this, Prince Chambord and Mesa knew that once the lamas left, the child would not be able to speak, as if frightening the soul away.The child and the concierge father, who is proud of his son, have gone to the hospital. The closest to the Academy of Social Sciences is the District People's Hospital on Linkuo North Road. On the bed of the emergency department on the first floor, Prince Chambord and Mesa saw the child again.The child is playing the bottle.The concierge stood by the bed with a bitter expression on his face, and when he saw them, he turned his head away in annoyance.Mesa hurriedly laughed apologetically. Prince Chambord made a face to the child and said, "I'm here to test you today." The child stupidly licked the running snot with his tongue, and then put his finger in his mouth to suck it. He had no wit at all, as if he was stupid and didn't know them anymore. Prince Chambord wanted to say something else, but Mesa tugged at his clothes and said, "Go, you'll be in trouble if you stay any longer." The taxi drove out of Linkuo North Road, headed north along Sera Road, and went straight to Serawuzi Mountain.At the foot of the mountain is the Sera Monastery.
