Chapter 106 Section 1

The interval is only two days, and the fifth exam is coming soon.The worries of the Great Rinpoche Vaj Gongga became a reality, blanks appeared, and Guru Qiuze Lama was not present.No one knew where he had gone, let alone why he hadn't been there.If he is absent, the opponent Benbojia Living Buddha will win a game. Now it is three to two, and the exam has to go on, at least there is still a sixth round. In the Chiming Buddha Hall of the Potala Palace, Geshe Lamas chanted sutras.This is the suggestion of the Nima examiner: Everyone can't come in vain, let us simply hold a Dharma meeting and pray for the safety and auspiciousness of all living things.

The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga walked out of the Zhiming Buddha Hall alone and asked the housekeeper to send someone to find Lama Guru Qiuze: he must be found and told that no matter what happened, he must come back to take the sixth exam and win. In the evening, Guru Qiuze Lama returned to the Potala Palace.He came to the Mandala Hall, and surrounded by the Mandala of Dense Vajra Mandala, Mandala of Shengle Vajra, and Mandala of Dawei De Vajra, he told the reason why he was absent from the exam to Venerable Master Vaj Gongga. He said calmly: "My Feibao is gone, I'll go see her off."

The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "You did it on purpose, you don't want to win this exam." He didn't say a word, what could escape the eyes of the respected teacher?It's just that the respected teacher doesn't know that there are reasons behind the reasons, and those unfathomable subtleties have changed from words to ineffables, from inconceivable to inconceivable. Feibao was raised by him, a few years ago.She does nothing, has nothing to worry about, and is comfortable and at ease.But she said: "You don't create any value, you were originally supported by believers, and now you support me, I feel very awkward, very awkward." She also said, "People who believe in Buddhism can't do nothing, just Believe in Buddha, what is that? I’m going back, I’m going to do something.”

He said: "You are right. Faith is not a profession, not a patent for a few people, but a spiritual state that everyone should possess. A lama is not a spiritual nobleman, but a creator. If you insist on leaving, then Come on, I have no reason to stop you. But..." Feibao looked at him with big watery eyes: "Speak, but what?" He said, "Wait for me." Feibao said, "You mean forever? Do you mean the next life?" "I don't know," he said. Feibao said, "You should know my age." He said: "Youth at the age of twenty-five."

Fei Bao said: "Will this life be wasted for nothing?" He was speechless.So there was a farewell at the Changting Pavilion, and there was an absence from the exam. Two days later, the sixth exam was held as scheduled.In the Chiming Buddha Hall, more butter lamps were lit, and streams and rivers shone in front of each statue.The firelight adds light to the Buddha statue, and also adds a divine stalwart, just like the mountains and rivers in Tibet that expose the silent splendor between the natural creation and the earth.The immeasurable mana and infinite compassion flows calmly in every corner of the hall. The Buddha statues are boundless, and the monks feel humble and comfortable as if they are in the realm of billions of Buddhas.

The nine examiners sat again between the eight pagodas and the eight gods of Guru Rinpoche.Today, they put on big red cloaks decorated with jeweled ribbons outside their cassocks, expressing their inner grandeur and solemnity. Between the opposing sutra-defense seats, on the three-foot tin rod representing majesty, there is a prayer flag of the seven-character Manjushri mantra.To the west is Benbojia Living Buddha, and to the east is Lama Guru Qiuze.But the sutra seat on the east side was empty, and the time for the examination was approaching, and Lama Guru Qiu Ze hadn't come yet.Everyone is muttering: Is he going to be absent again?

Many people's eyes are looking at the door of Chiming Buddha Hall. What Living Buddha Benbojia hoped was that the opponent had better not come, just like the fifth exam, let him win without a fight.But his clairvoyance and his mind tell him that Lama Guru Chiutse will definitely come. The sixth exam is Lizong Debate.Lizong debate is to put forward a point of view representing the Sutra and Patriarchal School, and let the opponents ask, supplement, criticize, and refute. All the examiners and Geshe Lamas present can also ask questions at will, but the opponents are the main ones.Those who set up the sect must answer every question. Once they are asked too much, they will be considered a failure.An opponent doesn't have to be as established as him to be a winner.If he has always been able to answer the questions fluently, then the opponent needs to set up a sect and answer the questions of him, the examiners present, and Geshe Lama.Finally, the examiners vote to determine the winners based on individual performance.Therefore, under normal circumstances, both parties competing for office will not be the first to establish the clan, but will determine who will be the first to establish the clan by drawing lots.

There is also a rule that in the sixth round of the exam, no one can high-five. Whoever high-fives is the loser, no matter how wonderful his questions or defenses are.It is said that this is to examine the self-control ability of the candidates. The manifestation of this ability is that if you give the brain a signal, it will control your behavior from beginning to end like clockwork.But ordinary practitioners can't do it. When asking questions or answering fiercely, they often clap their hands before speaking out of habit and subconsciousness. Everyone waited eagerly. There was nothing but air and smoke at the door of the Chiming Buddha Hall.But to everyone's surprise, the voice of Lama Guru Qiu Ze suddenly sounded in the hall: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but it's not that I'm late, but you are early." People quickly shifted their eyes from the door When I arrived at the center of the examination room, I found that Guru Qiu Ze Lama had already taken his seat.

Where did he come in from?Everyone is asking.Even the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga felt strange: Has this disciple already practiced the spells of breaking through walls, walking without hindrance or being invisible?Could it be that the blessing given to this infatuated practitioner by the "Gate of the Seven Tara" is a miracle showing all kinds of magical changes? Guru Qiu Ze Lama looked at his revered master apologetically, and then said to Benbojia Rinpoche: "I want to establish a sect, and my view of establishing a sect is: 'The Gate of the Seven Tara' is a method of immortality, and life can be long. live forever."

Everyone was surprised again: he actually established the sect first?Is it pride, or self-confidence?No matter what it is, the person who establishes the clan first will fail in all likelihood. The living Buddha Benbojia recovered from his surprise and asked, "You mean not only the spiritual consciousness is immortal, but the physical body can also be immortal?" He nodded at the other party, and asked, "This is the door of the 'Seven Tara' you cultivated. final result?" Guru Qiu Ze said, "No, this is only the fifth gate of the 'Seven Tara Gates'."

Ben Bojia said: "Since the fifth door is the door of immortality, it is not only a recitation of the Buddha, but also a rebellion against the Buddha. Since beginningless time, all living beings have died and reborn, born and died again, just like a wheel spinning, Reincarnation is in the six realms. And the fate of the Buddha is like the life of a human being, and it will die quickly, even the Buddha Sakyamuni is like this, how can the "Gate of the Seven Tara" be higher than the Buddha?" Guru Qiu Ze said, "Is Buddha Sakyamuni dead?" Benbojia was stunned. Guru Qiu Ze said: "He is passing away and Nirvana. Nirvana is not death, but rebirth. The Buddha said, I have infinite life. From the birth of Buddha Sakyamuni to the present, there are only more than 2,500 years. Did you say he died?" Benbojia said, "But what about the body? I'm talking about the body." Guru Qiu Ze said: "What I'm talking about is also the body. The body is immortal. Sakyamuni is in Tibet, right beside us, but none of us has the chance to see it in person." Ben Bojia asked: "Even if the Buddha is not dead, what does this have to do with the 'Gate of Seven Tara'?" Guru Qiu Ze said: "Including the 'Gate of the Seven Tara', all esoteric methods practice the body, the body is a spiritual entity, without the body, there is no spiritual consciousness, soul and all spiritual phenomena, how can we say that the spirit Immortality, but the body can quickly decay? The Buddha does not die, and all living beings will not die, because all living beings have Buddha nature, and all living beings can become Buddhas." Ben Bojia said: "Then please name someone who is immortal." Guru Chiu Tse said: "Except for the dead, all the rest are immortal." "I don't see there being any left," said Ben Bojia. Guru Qiu Ze said: "That's because people are living in the world, and they don't know what to do, so they don't have the chance to obtain the magic weapon to avoid death." Ben Bojia asked: "What is the magic weapon to avoid death?" Guru Qiu Ze said: "Human death is nothing more than natural disasters, man-made disasters, and self-injury. Natural disasters include earthquakes, floods, fires, snow, thunder, heat, and freezing; man-made disasters include wars, road disasters, and massacres." Disaster, disaster of falling, disaster of pollution; self-harm includes the harm of greed, hatred, ignorance, diet, medicine, and ignorance. Because of their existence, the gradual decay of life and the harm of death It is inevitable, and it is said to be the law of nature. But the "Gate of the Seven Tara" tells us that when we are lucky enough to avoid natural disasters, man-made disasters, and self-harm, our lives will not die, and our bodies will be immortal." Ben Bojia asked: "The key is whether you can avoid it, and how?" Guru Qiu Ze said: "This is the magic weapon to avoid death to teach us." Everyone looked at Guru Qiu Ze Lama, waiting for him to tell the magic weapon to avoid death.He calmed himself with belly breathing and raised his head proudly. Ben Bojia urged: "Tell me, if you really have a magic weapon to avoid death." Guru Qiu Ze said: "Practicing the fifth door of the 'Seven Tara Gate' is to use the door of natural disasters to cultivate the eye of avoiding disasters, the door of man-made disasters to cultivate the eye of avoiding disasters, and the door of self-harm to cultivate the eye of avoiding harm. These three eyes are hidden deep Inside the human body, things are not opened or illuminated, and cultivation is to make them come out, open, and emit light, so that you can see everything you can see." Ben Bojia asked: "How to cultivate?" Guru Qiu Ze said: "Visualize Purple Tara to open up all the kidney meridians, and then you can hear; visualize Yellow Tara, to open up all the liver meridians, and then you can see; visualize green Tara, to open up all the lung meridian, you can smell it; visualize black Tara, to open up all the spleen meridian, then you can kiss; visualize red Tara, to open up all the heart meridian , you can know it. If you can detect it, you can avoid it, and when you avoid all the opportunities and possibilities of death, you will have the premise of immortality.” Ben Bojia asked: "How to visualize?" Guru Qiu Ze said: "Buddha said that when you look at a god, all gods will grant prophecy. The appearance of the gods is your mind change. With the change of mind, you will correspond to the change of body and speech, and the change of body will not change. , The change of language is the change of ten thousand mantras. If you visualize in this way, the Buddha fruit of self-nature will appear for a long time. This is the female parent, and the Buddha fruit of other worlds will settle down. It will produce the eyes of avoiding disasters, the eyes of avoiding disasters and the eyes of avoiding harm infinitely, which is the wishful fruit of practicing the 'Gate of the Seven Tara'." Ben Bojia said: "Although from the perspective of logical wisdom, a person can live forever if he avoids all opportunities and possibilities of death, but it is impossible to avoid 100%. For a long time, human life, compared with thunder and lightning, can be counted as long if it can flash for a while. All life is short, everything is short, and everything is quiet. Extinction is the truth, and impermanence is the Buddha's will. How can people live forever? " Guru Qiu Ze said: "The 'Gate of the Seven Tara' sees that life is neither born nor destroyed, neither dirt nor clean, neither increase nor decrease. If this is the case, then it means 'there is no old age and death, nor the end of old age and death'." Ben Bojia said: "Even if you have the eye to avoid harm, how can you avoid death from disease and old age?" Guru Qiu Ze said: "If sickness, death, old age and death come on your face, of course you can't avoid it. The eye of avoiding harm sees why sickness, old age, old age and death come. It has achieved the goal of giving up the cause and breaking the relationship without fruit, so people don't die." Apparently Lama Guru Qiuze's words aroused everyone's interest, and a Geshe asked, "Please tell Lama Guru Qiuze, how can we let go of the cause and end the relationship without fruit?" Guru Qiu Ze said: "Self-harm is harmful to greed, cut it off, it is harmful to hatred, cut it off, it is harmful to ignorance, cut it off, it is harmful to eating and drinking, cut it off, it is harmful to medicine. , cut it off, there is the harm of ignorance, cut it off. When all the causes of self-harm are cut off, life is only peaceful nourishment and rational use. If the stone is not smashed, it will always be a stone, and the river will not be blocked. It will always be the river." Ben Bojia said: "But the wind will destroy the stones, and the sun will evaporate the river water." Guru Qiu Ze said: "The wind destroys only the fragile stones, and the practice goal of the 'Seven Tara Gate' is the incorruptibility of the Vajra. What is the incorruptibility of the Vajra? Not because it is hard, but because it is empty. When the wind blows in the empty valley, what passes is the wind, not the empty valley. Of course the sun will evaporate the river water, but the river water will become more water when it reaches the sky, and it will fall on the river water. The river water is not smaller, but bigger.” Ben Bojia said: "What we want to hear is not the truth, but the method of immortality." Guru Chiu Ze said: "The human body has channels that can let blood out and those that cannot. ..." A Geshe said: "Can His Holiness the Lama use the terminology of ancient Tibetan medicine? If he uses the vocabulary agreed between Tibetan medicine and Chinese medicine, more people will understand it." Guru Qiu Ze said: "Of course. The channels are the acupoints. Let Red Tara guard the Shenmen point of the Heart Meridian, let Yellow Tara guard the Taichong Point of the Liver Meridian, let Black Tara guard the Gongsun Point of the Spleen Meridian, and let Green Tara Let Purple Tara guard the Taiyuan Point of the Lung Meridian, let Purple Tara guard the Kidney Meridian Taixi Point, let Blue Tara guard the Pericardium Meridian Laogong Point, and let White Tara guard the Stomach Meridian Zusanli Point. Seven Tara also has seven younger sisters. Let Fenxun Tara be stationed at the Yanggu point of the small intestine meridian, let Jinyan Tara be stationed at the Kunlun point of the bladder meridian, let Topji Zunsheng Tara be stationed at the Qiuxu point of the gallbladder meridian, let Humyin Chiqi Tara be stationed at the Hegu point of the large intestine meridian, let The suffering Tara is stationed at the Yangchi acupoint of the Sanjiao Jing, the Great Tranquility Tara is stationed at the Renmai Shenque point, and the Desire Tara is stationed at the Dumai Mingmen point. After the station is consolidated, visualize the Medicine Buddha mantra and Tara mantra until The mantra is integrated into the blood and flows between all the meridians. It will ensure that the blood in the blood vessels will always be sufficient, and it will be clean and fresh. Clean and fresh blood is the guarantee of immortality. In addition, you must expand the innocence Heart, put an end to all dirt, language, behavior, dharma, intimacy, thinking, and diet. Your realm is that of a bodhisattva of the tenth stage, but you are not a bodhisattva. You are a person with a body and a soul. A man who is only two steps away from dying." Ben Bojia asked: "Which two steps are I missing to survive death?" Guru Qiu Ze said: "In the human body, there is an outer channel besides all fourteen meridians, and there is an outer acupoint besides all 360 acupuncture points. The outer channel is also called the obstacle removal channel. When you After opening up all the channels through the practice of Dharma, all the ignorance imposed on you by the world, such as greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, doubt, etc., will be concentrated in the outer channel, or entangled here, or flow out. Entanglement will lead to the growth of ignorance , the flow will lead to light and splendor. What you need is flow, so the result of practice is to let the god who dominates the flow stay here forever. The acupoint is named by Sakyamuni as the land of immeasurable light or the Buddha fruit of longevity, which can guarantee Undead acupuncture points for eternal life. When your practice has turned the 360 ​​acupuncture points into 360 gods of benevolent prescriptions stationed in the body, when your external channels have been dominated by the Buddhas of the Vajra Realm, you will not die. The acupoint is the Longevity Buddha Fruit, and it will come out happily. As I have said, the 'Gate of the Seven Tara' hides the code of human life, and cultivation is to decipher the code and to obtain energy, which is inexhaustible." Ben Bojia asked: "Where is the Cave of Immortality? Has His Holiness the Lama found it?" Guru Qiu Ze said, "I found it." Ben Bojia asked: "So, you are already an immortal?" Guru Qiu Ze clapped his hands resoundingly, and said simply, "Yes, I am immortal, I am eternal. I am still alive when my revered master passes away, and I am still alive when my disciples pass away. I am There is no reincarnation, I am me, I have been living forever, and I have lived for a hundred years. I have lived as long as Sakyamuni, Guru Rinpoche, and Tsangyang Gyatso. alive." The whole audience was stunned and fell silent. They were amazed by Guru Qiu Ze Lama's words and his incredible actions.He actually clapped his hands, he was so emotional that he forgot the rules of the sixth exam: both contenders can’t high-five, whoever high-fives will fail, no matter how good he is in the exam.He let everyone see that this person who claims to have achieved the law of immortality has not even mastered the most basic self-control ability. There is no need to vote anymore.At the examiner's table, the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga was the first to break the convulsive silence, and said sharply, "You are dead, already dead." Guru Qiu Ze said calmly: "I tell my respected master, I am not dead, I just failed." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga glared at his disciple angrily, and said in a low voice, "Your failure is my failure. Let me ask you, why did you clap your hands on purpose?" Guru Qiu Ze lowered his head and said, "Respected Master can see through it at a glance." The sixth test ended like this, and the Living Buddha Benbojia won again without a fight. Now it is three to three, and the exam has been dragged to the tiebreaker. The examiners and Geshe Lamas all speculated: In the sixth test, Lama Guru Qiu Ze revealed the fifth door of the "Seven Tara Gates", so what about the seventh test?The seventh exam is the last exam, will the sixth door of the "Seven Tara Gates" be revealed?What is the sixth door?After the sixth door, there will be a seventh door. The seventh door is the final method. What is the final method? Guru Qiu Ze fully understood everyone's speculation, and said loudly: "There are seven gates in the cultivation of the 'Seven Tara Gates'. Everyone already knows the first five gates. The sixth gate is the gate of terma, and the seventh gate is... " "Stop talking." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga interrupted his disciples sharply, stood up and was about to leave. Benbojia Living Buddha asked: "Great Living Buddha, please let us know when the seventh exam will be held?" The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "I didn't expect the exam to be delayed until today. It will be the day of the big chanting ceremony in the Potala Palace. I can only take the exam after the ceremony? What do you think?" The Nima examiner said on behalf of several other examiners: "This is the only way. The big chanting ceremony where thousands of monks gather cannot be delayed." Lama Guru Qiuze suddenly raised his head and said excitedly: "Ah, why did I forget that the Great Sutra Chanting Ceremony in the Potala Palace is about to be held." Then he quickly left the Chiming Buddha Hall.
