Chapter 76 Section 1

Lama Guru Qiuze came to the Mandala Hall of the Potala Palace, from the dense Vajra Mandala to the Shengle Vajra Mandala, and then to the Dawei De Vajra Mandala, then stopped and looked at the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga I was meditating with my eyes closed in front of the mandala, and stood aside and waited quietly. The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga opened his eyes and said kindly: "Are you ready? You will definitely defeat your opponent, although your opponent is very strong." Guru Qiu Ze said: "I know that Master finally wants to tell me the magic weapon to defeat my opponent."

The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "Don't judge, don't think, the clarity of the heart, the surge of the heart is what you should express most, and you have to do whatever you want. I believe in you, you and your deity have merged inseparably. Together, your expression is the expression of the deity." "Understood, do whatever you want," said Lama Guru Chiew Tse. The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga nodded and let him go without saying anything. Guru Qiu Ze didn't leave right away, he looked at the deity who ruled the three mandala and the surrounding murals with nostalgia, went to burn incense in the copper censer, and prayed softly while reciting scriptures and mantras.

Eleven years ago, he was in the Mandala Hall and under the guidance of his master Vaje Gongga the Great Living Buddha, he passed the "Larambha" examination, which is the highest degree of Geshe in Tibet, which shows that he has obtained a remarkable degree. The highest achievement in the sect, he has the qualification to enter the Lhasa Upper Tantric Academy or the Lower Tantric Academy to practice the Supreme Tantric Dharma.Afterwards, he worked hard in the Shangmi Academy for nine years, and he was promoted to the positions of "Ge Kuo", "Weng Ze" and "Khenpo" successively in three years.Khenpo is the most important step. You don't need to study hard and improve. After three years of tenure, you will be "Khensu"."Kansu" of the Upper Tantric Academy can be promoted to "Dharma Venerable Dongyue" according to qualifications and achievements in practice, and "Kansu" of the Lower Tantric Academy can be promoted to "Dharma Venerable Beiyue".Both Dharma Venerables are the successors of Ganden Tripa.Ganden Tripa is the abbot of Ganden Monastery, and Ganden Monastery is the first root of the Gelug Sect. Its abbot is the highest achiever of the Gelug Sect teaching method, and is the "first teaching method" of the Yellow Sect. In the past, he was also the first person who was qualified to replace the Dalai Lama to govern Tibet. The Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama would stand up and greet him when they met, and offer them tea.But to the surprise and regret of all the monks, Lama Guru Qiu Ze suddenly bid farewell to the Upper Tantric Academy when he was awarded the position of "Khenpo" in the Upper Tantric Academy and only a few years away from the position of the head of the Yellow Sect. , returned to the Potala Palace, and returned to his original master, the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga, the Great Living Buddha on the peak seat of the Potala Palace.

The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga asked him angrily why he came back. Guru Qiu Ze said: "The holy religion regards the teacher as a Buddha. I want to go back to the Buddha. Is there anything wrong?" "Since I am your Buddha, then you have to listen to me." "Whatever orders the Master has, I just obey." "My term of office will be up next year. You must take the exam for the position of the Great Living Buddha at the peak of the Potala Palace. I hope you will succeed me." Guru Qiu Ze replied with a smile.His favorite is the Potala Palace, which is the mantle of Master Vaj Gongga.He felt that although the Great Living Buddha on the peak of the Potala Palace was not as respected as Ganden Tripa, there was something that Ganden Tripa could not match, that is, he occupied the Potala Palace, the peak of faith.From the perspective of outsiders and the world, only the Potala Palace is the center of Tibetan Buddhism. It represents Tibet and represents the highest reputation of Tibetan religion and culture. What Guru Qiuze Lama is concerned about is that the holy religion is outside the religion. The magnificence and impact on the world is the era of great confusion, great crisis, and great chaos. It is possible for all beings on the earth to firmly believe in and convert to charity, not the perfection of the Gelug Sect itself, and it is not the Gelug Sect monks themselves. own reverence.

However, in accordance with historical practice and the regulations of the Potala Palace Management Committee, the position of the Great Living Buddha on the peak seat of the Potala Palace is not based on the promotion of qualifications and the natural inheritance between master and apprentice, but a four-year competition. Those who take the exam should be eminent monks who have obtained the position of "Khenbu" in the upper and lower tantric schools and abbots with reincarnation qualifications in major monasteries. As an examiner, he has participated in more than three Geshe exams throughout Tibet, and has more than two books that have been handed down.Every time there is a competition, the three major monasteries in Lhasa and the Potala Palace will select two candidates. The winner will be the king, and the loser will go home. "Going home" means that once you fail, not only will you be dismissed from the position of "Khenpo" or "abbot", and your reincarnation qualification will be cancelled, but you will also be sent to the monastery where you studied scriptures in childhood or youth. promotion.On the one hand, this kind of system is to increase the degree of danger and reduce the number of candidates. On the other hand, it is to eliminate the strongest and most hated opponents for the winners.

Now, for Lama Guru Chiu Tse, the time to realize his ambition has finally come. Tomorrow, tomorrow is the first exam. He believes in his own strength, and believes in the invincible guidance of his master Vaje Gongga. Guru Qiu Ze left Venerable Master and hurried back to his monk's house on the west side of the Potala Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar figure sitting next to a gleaming white laptop on the couch under the dim light. The figure is against the wall. There are no thangka Buddha statues on the wall, no murals of gods, and no hanging ornaments such as rosary beads. There is only a picture torn from a pictorial and put in a picture frame like a baby.The scenery in the picture is the towering snow-capped mountains and the grasslands of Yimapingchuan.The snow-capped mountains are dazzlingly white, the grasslands are glowing green, and the rivers are crystal clear, embellished with an S-shaped bend.Here are sheep, there are cattle.A wooden prayer wheel bridge is also erected on the river bed.A fresh fragrance came to the nostrils. It seemed that it was not the body fragrance of the figure, but the fragrance of flowers in the grassland. The warmth was like the sun hiding behind the clouds, quietly scattering.

Just like the first time she came to his residence, Guru Qiu Ze was a little inexplicably excited: "Concubine Bao is here? Why didn't you say it in advance? Are you worried about tomorrow's exam?" Feibao stood up: "No, I'm not worried about the exam at all, I'm here to tell you..." She hesitated to speak. He opened the curtain and looked at her, and found that her eyes were red and swollen: "what's the matter?" "Your brother is dead," she said. He let out an "ah" and stood still, suddenly feeling dizzy.The monk's house was shaking, the entire Potala Palace was shaking, and he fell forward.Feibao rushed over to hug him, and helped him onto the couch.He supported the couch with both hands, and with tears in his eyes, he sighed: My brother is indeed dead.

"How did you die?" Feibao shook her head and didn't want to say anything. He added: "That would be suicide." Feibao sobbed and said, "I didn't want to tell you at first, but then I thought, what if someone suddenly mentions it when you are taking the exam tomorrow? Why don't you find out sooner." Guru Qiu Ze was silent, and suddenly said: "You came at the right time, at the right time." Feibao wiped away her tears: "As long as you think it's good." Guru Qiu Ze said in a sad tone as if saying goodbye: "Let's start, this is the last time." He got up and closed the curtains, and took away the gleaming white laptop from the white wool felt bed.

Feibao was a little strange, this was a sudden start without any prior warning.But she knew that she couldn't say anything now, the only thing she had to do was to leave the secular world quickly, enter the illusory realm of the Buddha mother in the state of cultivation, and become the help of King Ming and the praise of the Buddha's body.She is the concubine Ming, his companion in practice, and her existence is to allow him to obtain and consolidate the realization of great bliss and emptiness.She came to him and faced him in the posture of "Lunwang Zuo". Lama Guru Qiuze sits cross-legged, the couch is the lotus platform, and the concubine is the convenience.He doesn't think about anything, he only thinks about the light and the illusion, the secular world is far away, the younger brother is far away, the woman is far away, the physical body is far away, the realm of the great emptiness, bliss, and detachment from the form will appear. Immediately, immediately, is about to appear.

But the "happy-air dual-luck" that was about to appear has never appeared.Guru Qiu Ze thought he hadn't thought about anything, but in fact he did. He couldn't help but think of his younger brother, Fei Bao, who will never have any connection with his younger brother, and Fei Bao's past and future, as well as her charming style .He screamed, vomited blood, and fell on his back. Feibao rushed over, shook him who had passed out, and shouted: "King Ming, King Ming." Seeing that he didn't respond, she changed her name again, "Lama Guru Qiuze, Lama Guru Qiuze." Still no response, She called again, "Brother Qiu Ze, brother Qiu Ze."

He woke up, as soon as he heard Fei Bao call him "Brother Qiu Ze", he woke up. Feibao said: "A man named Prince Chambord came to Lhasa. I mean the person who discovered the 'Gate of the Seven Tara' came to Lhasa." Guru Qiu Ze was fully awake: "Did you see it?" "No, just heard." "where are you now?" "Already went to the Jokhang Temple." Lama Guru Chiu Tse sat up, took a deep breath, went down to the door, came back, paced in the monk's house: "Come, come, finally come." Then he said firmly, "Come , and continue to practice, we must meet this miraculous person with the achievement of emptiness that proves the dharma-nature and Buddha-wisdom, otherwise, we will part ways with the 'Gate of the Seven Tara'."
