Chapter 119 Section 3

When the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga and his party came to Dasonge Corridor in a hurry and faced the thangka, they all felt that they were being teased.Thangka is just a thin scroll painting, and there are no holes or interlayers on the wall behind it. How could it be possible to hide explosives? The steward asked the young lama severely: "What's going on?" The young lama pointed to the lower right corner of the Thangka, and repeated what Prince Chambord had said. It is a pity that everyone present did not see the "mark of impermanence" in the eyes of Prince Chambord in the lower right corner of Thangka, nor did they see the "flame of explosion" in the eyes of Mesa and the packs and tubes The explosives, not to mention the Sanskrit word "bomb" drawn by flames.It's not that their knowledge and cultivation are not enough, but that time has passed, the origin has passed away, the light in the corridor has changed, the depth and color of the natural stone paint have also changed, the phantom is no longer, and the viewing effect is also very different.In their eyes, what appeared in the lower right corner of the thangka were just some stones and wood for building the Potala Palace, and some smoke from smelting iron, without symbols and metaphors, without enlightenment of Buddhism or any divine revelation. Traces, unable to think about the relationship between Sixi Pingcuo and explosives behind the stones, wood, and smoke.

The housekeeper was still scolding the young lama: "Who is the person who told you about the explosives? Have you figured it out? If you don't figure it out, how can you report it indiscriminately?" The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga looked kindly at the lamas in the Potala Palace and said, "He is right. The matter is of great importance. He should have said that the wind is the rain. Continue to search, the more cautious the better." He also told the housekeeper Said, "Who the hell said that there are explosives here, you take him to confirm." The housekeeper took the young lama away.

Two foreign lamas who knew the Great Living Buddha Vaje Gongga passed by here, and quickly bowed their heads and stood aside.The lamas who had never met the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga knew that he was a very important person, so they respectfully stayed behind.There was a sudden blockage in the Dasong corridor, and the people who couldn't see clearly shouted: "Go, go forward." Several attendant lamas hurriedly protected the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga and left there. Guru Qiuze Lama bent down and stretched out his hand to let Sendo let the big lama walk in front. Senduo then asked the great lama to say: "I won't go, I should join the competition and compete in Dharma. I believe that my tantra inheritance is very good, and it will let me find explosives."

Guru Qiu Ze said, "I didn't expect you to have ambitions." Senduo asked the great lama to say: "I don't want to be everyone's guru, and I don't want to replace Vaj Gongga or any of his successors as the Great Living Buddha on the peak of the Potala Palace. I just want to prove that I am a country lama. Always humble. He modestly hides in the remote Qamdo, but his practice is no worse than your eminent monks in Lhasa." After finishing speaking, he got into the crowd of lamas, dodged left and right, and disappeared quietly. The subsequent search was even more detailed. The lamas in each hall even lifted up the tapestries wrapped around the pillars and the carpets on the floor, and searched inside the vases, behind the plaques, and under the mats.The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga asked Guru Qiu Ze to take the lead and led a team of lamas to check the corridors, hallways, corridors, stairs, roofs, and the joints between halls with unclear ownership and unclear responsibilities. .Some places cannot be reached even with a ladder, so they found a flashlight with eight batteries and scanned it like a searchlight.

The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga, who returned to the West Sunlight Hall, has been meditating and chanting scriptures all the time, and he knows that he can't show his anxiety at all.When people are in panic, when danger is approaching, when a big event is about to happen, what he has to do is to tell the monks with a calm and calm gesture: In fact, there is no danger in the world. What people need to overcome is only the inner crisis. The steward brings the latest news from time to time: "The person who said there was explosives in the Dasong Corridor has been found. A man and a woman are the two wanted by the police for excavating the 'Seven Tara Gate' terma. Now they have gone to the Spirit Pagoda Hall. I Someone has been sent to follow."

The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga closed his eyes. "The progress of the police is still very slow. Their investigation route is the same as that of the two diggers looking for the 'Seven Tara Gate'. They always arrive after the diggers leave. Does this mean that the police You also know that the excavation is going on?" The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga did not answer. "The places that should be searched have been searched, and the lamas are still searching." The voice of the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga chanting sutras became louder. After a while, the official monk in charge of chanting also came in and reported: "Half an hour has passed for the big chanting ceremony, and everyone is guessing, what happened?"

Everyone knows that this is very serious. The time for the big chanting ceremony is ten o'clock in the morning, and it has not changed for many years, because it is the time when the Potala Palace, the resort of Avalokitesvara, was born.The birth of the Avalokitesvara Resort determines the prosperity of the Holy Cult, and the Great Chanting Dharma Assembly is the proof of the prosperity of the Holy Cult. The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga did not express anything.It was not until the third time that the great monk appeared and reported that the chanting ceremony had been postponed for an hour, that the Great Living Buddha said: "Burn the tea one more time, let everyone continue to wait, and say that the teacher who cited the scriptures has not arrived yet." After the eminent monk left, he asked the housekeeper to call the scripture guide of Sixi Pingcuo, the main venue, to him.

The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "Now only you can bear it, what do you think?" The scripture teacher said: "I will do whatever the Great Living Buddha tells me." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "Very well, you can wait in the Xizujueding Palace of the West Sunlight Hall. Don't show up at the venue and wait for my summons." The bishop retreated.The sutra citation master is the head of the great chanting ceremony, and the first person to chant the sutras aloud and set off the climax of the sutras, similar to a solo in a chorus.He is familiar with all kinds of scriptures and chanting rituals. He has a loud voice, clear enunciation, dignified appearance, high morals, and a degree of "Gexi" and at least ten years of experience in Sutra and Ten Years of Esoteric Buddhism. He is recommended by the three major monasteries in Lhasa every year. Then it will be approved by the eminent monks organized by the Potala Palace.Such an important person cannot be replaced casually, not to mention that there may not be a suitable candidate for replacement.So if he didn't arrive, he had to wait.

But then again, as the scripture guide of Tibet's "First Temple Dharma Conference" in which various sects of the holy religion participated, how could he not be there?As long as he is alive, as long as he is alive, he should be there. The Great Living Buddha Wajie Gongga suddenly asked the housekeeper: "Turling Buddha Tuba, Living Buddha Benbojia, Living Buddha Jiumidojie, and Great Lama Senduo Cairang, where are you now?" The butler said, "I have already sent people to look for them, but I haven't found any." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "You can't find a few living people, but you can still find explosives?"

The steward said, "It's not that we are incapable, it's because the Dharma is so good. Their four masters disappeared in a blink of an eye." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "You are also a person who practices the Dharma, so you can't cultivate to have piercing eyes?" The steward lowered his head and said, "The master taught me." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "Get the milk tea ready, they will be there in ten minutes." In fact, it didn't take ten minutes, they arrived in five minutes. None of them went far, and they were at the East Sunlight Hall at the other end of the seventh floor, the highest floor of the White House.Like the West Sunlight Hall, the East Sunlight Hall is also the place where the Dalai Lama works, rests, reads scriptures, and practices.The difference is that the West Sunlight Hall was built by the fifth Dalai Lama, Lobsang Gyatso, and the East Sunlight Hall was built by the thirteenth Dalai Lama, Tudeng Gyatso.The East Sunlight Hall is composed of the Xizu Guangming Palace, the Yonggufufu Palace, the Longevity Zunsheng Palace, the Dharma Guardian Temple and the bedroom palace. It has the most luxurious living furnishings of the Potala Palace.Tuba Living Buddha, Benbojia Living Buddha, Jiumiduojie Living Buddha, and Senduo made the great lamas choose the East Sunlight Hall as the place to display the Dharma, mainly because it is the highest and quietest place in the White House. Quietness is emptiness, and the realm of Lingxu is the wonderful place to manifest secret methods.The Living Buddha Tuba chose the Dharma Protector Temple, the Living Buddha Benbojia chose the Yonggufufu Palace, the Living Buddha Jiumidojie chose the Xizu Guangming Palace, and Senduo made the big lama come late, but found that others chose the remaining Longevity Zunsheng Palace, which happens to be his favourite.But no matter which temple they are in, what they have to do is the same, that is, to recite the mantra vigorously, let the visualization bring themselves into the realm of spiritual consciousness where the body and mind disappear, that is, the unconscious state, and then let the spiritual consciousness and the deity God seamless.At this time, if the prayer is pious and effective, a part of the deity’s ability will become his ability. Those who practice Yamantaka will be as powerful and abnormal as Yamantaka. It will be as intelligent and fierce as Hevajra, those who practice Kalachakra will be as quiet and fierce as Kalachakra, and those who practice Hevajra will be as sharp as a sword like Hevajra.Now that they have such a wonderful method of Vajra Diligence, they can break through walls and go wherever they want with the speed of lightning. Isn't it easy to find where the explosives are buried?There is no distinction between the gods and the gods. If they want to compete in the Dharma, they are actually competing for the state of fusion between themselves and the gods. It is better to merge half of them than to merge all of them. It is not as good as to merge all of them. .

The four eminent monks, together with Lama Guru Qiuze, who was specially called by the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga, sat in a semicircle, drinking the milk tea served, and no one spoke. The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "The masters are troubled, but it is not you who are troubled. It is the gods who are troubled. It is not you who drink tea, but the gods drink tea. Say it quickly, the heart of the holy religion is more dangerous than yours. Your airs are more important. I, Vaj Gongga, the Great Living Buddha on the peak seat of the Potala Palace, please put down your airs and speak quickly.” Tuba Tulku of the Lower Secret Court spoke first: "Buddhas don't even have a frame, what frame should we use? I went to the Samantabhadra Hall just now and saw that the threshold was joined by two pieces of wood, and there was a two-foot-long gap at the joint , wrapped in black iron sheets, and between the gaps and inside the iron wrapping is the black explosives of the traitors." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga glanced at the butler, and the butler walked away.Can an eighty-five-year-old renowned tantric master, Dzogchen and Mahamudra enlightenment still be wrong? Guru Qiu Ze said, "Wait a minute, butler, let's listen to the other three masters." Tuba Tulku glared at Guru Qiu Ze unhappily: "What if we are delayed?" Before Guru Qiuze could answer, Benbojia Rinpoche said in amazement: "Why is Guru Tuba different from me? I went to the Samantabhadra Hall first, but I didn't see anything. Then I went to the Kalachakra Hall, saw the most dazzling mural on the south wall of the Hall of Kalachakra, under the seat of Dahui Zhe Tianmu, it was hollow, two meters square, and the explosives were inside. Only then did I understand why the oath betrayers had been accumulating explosives for three years. The lamas in the Dala Palace just can’t see it because the walls are too thick, thicker than the mountains. I can smell it, the nose of Gesar’s war dog has not lost its effect.” The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga and Lama Guru Qiuze both heard that the candidate for the position of Great Living Buddha at the peak was mocking the lamas in the Potala Palace for being inferior to the Gesar War Dog. The living Buddha Jiumidojie of Zhulin Temple. Living Buddha Jiumidojie said: "I didn't go anywhere, I just stayed in the Dharma Realm, and when I opened my eyes, I found that the belly of the Guardian Yama in the Guru Hall was filled with white explosives." The Great Living Buddha Wajie Gongga understands that what the Living Buddha Jiumidojie displayed is the supernatural power of Hevajra. This kind of display does not activate the spiritual consciousness, but the Dharma Eye, which emits the infinitely penetrating light of the Dharma Eye. Compared with other practices One level higher.He immediately nodded with admiration, and then turned his eyes to Senduo before letting the big lama. Senduo asked the big lama to say: "I won't say whether I went or not, but you must go now to see if there is a pair of auspicious deer on the stone confession case of Maitreya Buddha Hall, and whether the auspicious deer is made of explosives. Painted." Tuba Living Buddha said unhappily: "Competing the Dharma is not against me, go and verify, who is right and who is wrong. As I have said, whoever finds the explosives is the master of all of us, and it should be The Great Living Buddha on the peak seat of the Potala Palace." He stared at the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga and asked, "You agreed to this, didn't you?" The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said angrily: "The Potala Palace is at stake, so what is the Great Living Buddha on the peak seat? What's more, someone is excavating the terma of the 'Gate of the Seven Tara'. Do you know what that means?" Tuba Living Buddha said: "I know better than you what it means. Quick, quick, quick, go find the explosives." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga bowed his head in silence, and the four masters named out the four halls: Samantabhadra Hall, Kalachakra Hall, Guru Hall, and Maitreya Hall.Although he will immediately ask the lama to find out which hall is buried with explosives, but as the reincarnated living Buddha who is also a master of the two sects of Sutra and Tantra, he must first judge which of the four of them is right and which is wrong, just like a teacher who is superior to face With the answers of a group of students.He likes this, and his status as the Great Living Buddha on the peak of the Potala Palace requires him to do so.The way to judge is very simple: silently recite the seven-character mantra of the great wisdom Manjushri "Om ah nah bah nah" and at the same time press the other four fingers in turn with the thumb of the right hand, and a warm light will suddenly rise in the heart while chanting .When the light rises, the pressing of the thumb stops immediately, and whichever finger it stays on, the hall and eminent monk represented by this finger should be the one who predicted the correct one.But it was strange that he had silently recited the Manjushri Manjushri Mantra ten times, but the warm light in his heart never appeared, and it was usually enough to make a judgment three times silently.The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga found that he had lost the sensitivity of divine assistance, so he immediately stopped reciting and pressing, and looked up at his disciple Guru Qiuze Lama: "Tell me about your prophecy." Guru Qiu Ze shook his head and said, "In front of several masters, I don't dare to show off my cleverness. It's better not to show off my small skills." The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "You should talk about it. Although modesty is the virtue of a lama, sometimes the fierce Buddhism puts doing one's duty first. Besides, you are the leader of the Great Living Buddha on the peak of the Potala Palace. One of the contenders, if your prophecy is correct, then I can pass on the seal and vestment to you today." Guru Qiu Ze said: "I don't have Dafa in my body, so I can only be humble." Benbojia Living Buddha laughed and said: "I heard that Guru Qiuze Lama predicted the seventh gathering of Buddhism in the world when he meditated in the Holy Guanyin Hall three years ago. Such a great thing can be predicted, what a wonderful power it is Ah. Lama Guru Chiutse, don't be humble." Guru Qiu Ze's cheeks flushed immediately, and he said with shame: "To be honest, in my visualization, I can't see where the explosives are at all. If I have to prophesy, I can only say that there is no explosives in the Potala Palace. " The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "Don't comfort me like this. You probably have seen that my judgment has failed. This is not surprising. The matter is so important that it has exceeded our imagination and cultivation ability." Guru Chiu Ze said: "Yes, I am reassuring you, why is there no explosives in the Potala Palace?" The housekeeper glared at Guru Qiu Ze and said, "Then hurry up and look for it, why bother?" The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga said: "You go, according to the prophecy of the four great masters, you send four groups of lamas to search carefully the threshold of the Puxian Bodhisattva Hall and the seat of the Great Hui Zhe Tianmu on the south wall of the Kalachakra Hall. , the belly of Dharma Protector Yama in the Guru Hall, and a pair of auspicious deer on the stone confession table in the Maitreya Buddha Hall." He said to Tuba Living Buddha and others, "The four masters should also go to supervise, so as not to make any mistakes. I will take The seal of the Great Living Buddha on the peak of the Potala Palace is waiting for you here. Whoever’s prophecy is correct will be the master who saved the Potala Palace, and I will immediately hand over the seal to him and take off his robes.” The housekeeper and guru Qiu Ze shook their heads, and led the four eminent monks away in a hurry.In the Great Blessing and Wonderful Spinning Palace of the West Sunlight Hall, only the Great Living Buddha Vajgongga is left.He sat quietly for a while, got up and took off his apricot-yellow cassock, and walked to the confession case in the south, before coming to a Longevity Buddha.The golden Longevity Buddha is dressed as a Bodhisattva, with gentle eyes like water, noble and elegant demeanor, tall bun, and flowery necklaces, just like the most beautiful and richest mother in the world.The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga bowed to the Longevity Buddha, then pulled out a nanmu box inlaid with gold from behind the Buddha statue, opened it, and carefully took out the seal of the Great Living Buddha on the Peak seat wrapped in yellow satin. To tell the truth, even though the competition examination for the next Great Living Buddha of the Peak Seat of the Potala Palace will continue, the Great Living Buddha Vaje Gongga is ready to pass on the throne to his disciple Guru Qiuze Lama.He knew that the sixth gate of the "Gate of Seven Tara" is the gate of terma. When the step of excavating terma has come to the Potala Palace, all the examiners will get this revelation: Opening is the unimpeded opening of the door of cultivation. Whether you oppose or like the "Seven Tara Gate", you have to admit that the patriarch of the terma is Guru Rinpoche.Since Master Padmasambhava or his reincarnation such as Cangyang Gyatso treasured the "Gate of the Seven Tara", it means that the entire Sutra and Tantric sects of Buddhism and the Three Vehicles of the Great, Small, and Vajras are related to the "Gate of the Seven Tara". The so-called "Gate of the Seven Tara" is the door to destroy the religion and the law of betrayal is obviously untenable.When the glory of excavation and the excellence of cultivation collide, why can't we take a high look at Guru Qiuze Lama, a firm practitioner of the "Seven Tara Gate"?Prince Chambord's excavation is a help to Guru Chiu Tse, with such favorable conditions, it will make us the executors of the Buddha's will, and become the boats carrying good conditions.These words can be said publicly, that is to say, he can publicly persuade several other examiners to let Guru Qiu Ze Lama win in the final exam. But now, he's gone, and he's going to pass the throne to someone else.This decision came so suddenly, but also so naturally.Everything is cause and effect, and it is fate. The safety of the Potala Palace is above all else, and the smooth excavation of the "Seven Tara Gate" is above all else.He has no right to think about himself, but only one question: who among the four masters does he want to be his successor?He thought it would be best not to be the Tulku Tuba of the Lower Conclave Academy, as he was already too old to be suitable for this position.And don't be Benbojia Living Buddha, the leader of Shannan Tantric Dharma, he is a narrow-minded person.The living Buddha Jiumidojie of Minzhulin Temple has a good reputation as a man and a Buddha, but he is not the best candidate. After all, he is a Nyingmapa, and the atmosphere of the Nyingmapa in the Potala Palace is already too strong.So what about Senduo Cairang, the chief lama of Jambaling Monastery in Qamdo?It should be the best candidate among the four of them. Once Senduo Cairang enters the Potala Palace, he will change from a great lama to a great living Buddha, and he can be reincarnated from generation to generation. The Great Living Buddha Vajgongga held the seal with both hands, and with the apricot-yellow dharma robe on his arm, he walked to the front of the throne, waiting for the news of finding the explosives and the eminent monk who could take the dharma seal from him.
