Chapter 848: Sonam Gyatso (I)
Chapter 848: Sonam Gyatso (I)
The sandalwood in the Buddhist hall was swirling, Shen Mo kept holding the tea, smiling and listening to Sonam Gyatso's teachings, he was actually very envious of these people of faith, but he had fallen into the devil's path, and I am afraid that he would not have the opportunity to pursue that blissful state in this life.
But when he heard that Unachu was going to let the Living Buddha lick his nose, he couldn't help but secretly sweat for Sonam Gyatso...... Although he was not a believer, he was well-read and knew the Amitabha Sutra: "Ordinary people have their tongues above the tip of their noses, and they do not lie in the third world." The Buddha has been immeasurably eon, has never lied, accumulated merit for a long time, and feels that he is victorious!' So Sonam Gyatso couldn't refuse.
He had no choice but to cough lightly, trying to create a step for Sonam Gyatso. But seeing the living Buddha smiled and said, "I don't know if the female Tan Yue believes it, what use will it be for me?" ”
"I did it......" Unachu said with a smile, "I am converted." ”
"My Buddha is only sincere," Sonam Gyatso said with a smile: "Why don't you do this, you promise me one thing, okay?" ”
Nachu nodded sharply.
"Nu Tanyue is optimistic......" After Sonam Gyatso finished speaking, he slowly stretched out his tongue and licked the tip of his nose inquiringly under the gaze of the three of them......
Noyanda stretched out her tongue and tried it, and found that even if she wrinkled her face into a chrysanthemum, it was impossible to do it. I couldn't help but be convinced: "The master is really a great virtue. ”
'Good fellow, no wonder you're so eloquent. 'Silence can't help but secretly speak, this is the standard three inches are not rotten!
As for Unachu, they were all stunned, it turns out that there are really people in this world who can lick their noses?
Sonam Gyatso deliberately let the tip of his tongue stay on the tip of his nose for a moment, and only after the three of them could see it clearly did he slowly withdraw his tongue and said with a smile: "Can Nu Tanyue see clearly?" ”
Unachu nodded, having nothing to say, so he had to apologize for his faux pas.
"In this world, we talk about the world of samva, the world of pollution. The beings in the world of sampa are strong and difficult to dissolve, and their karma is deep. Bitter in the world of sava! Sentient beings are in this suffering, but they don't know that there is a Pure Land of Bliss in the West, so the Buddha introduced it to us. How can we believe it? The Buddha does not lie. Sonam Gyatso said solemnly: "I don't know the three Tanyue, would you like to listen to me talk about a passage of the "Dafang Guang Buddha Huayan Sutra"? ”
"Extremely willing." The three of them clasped their hands together.
~~~~~
The Huayan Sutra of the Great Buddha is said to have been preached by Shakyamuni Buddha after his enlightenment, when he explained the endless Dharma realm to Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva and other superior bodhisattvas in meditation, and is one of the most important classics of Mahayana Buddhism.
I have to admit that Sonam Gyatso, who began to study the scriptures at the age of four and gave lectures on the stage at the age of eight, has been promoting Buddhism for 20 years......
Although he had already spoken very roughly, Sonam Gyatso still spoke for three days before he took the three of them to go through the Huayan Sutra.
But even this kind of foolishness had already made Noyan Dara sink into it, and as soon as Sonam Gyatso had finished speaking, he prostrated himself at the feet of his guru and pleaded for refuge.
Seeing his father like this, Unachu had no choice but to kneel down and plead together.
Taking refuge is a fundamental introduction to Buddhist practice. Sonam Gyatso told his followers that to practice Buddhism, they must first develop bodhichitta and establish their ambition to become a Buddha. And when it comes to developing bodhichitta, there are two kinds of it, aspiring to bodhichitta and doing bodhichitta. The former is the basis of the latter and can be understood as aspirations and actions. If you want to do bodhichitta well, you must first have the foundation of aspiring bodhichitta, and the basis of aspiring bodhichitta is refuge.
In Tibetan Buddhism, 'refuge' means placing one's body and mind on the other person, cultivating under the guidance of the other party, and achieving the goal of transcending samsara and attaining bliss. In the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, the object of refuge can only be the Three Jewels.
The so-called Three Jewels are 'Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha'. Buddha is the transliteration of the Sanskrit word for 'enlightenment'...... 'enlightenment' is 'breaking, benefiting, and wisdom', which means that the two obstacles are pure and wisdom are complete. Such a great achiever is called a Buddha; The Dharma is the teachings and teachings preached by the Buddha, and the Sangha is not an ordinary monk, but an attained holy monk and an enlightened bhikshu.
In other words, if you want to transcend samsara and attain bliss, you must put your whole body and mind on the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. After you take refuge in the Buddha, you can no longer take refuge in the ghosts and gods of the world. After taking refuge in the Dharma, you can no longer harm other beings. After taking refuge in the Sangha, you should love him with all your heart, worship him, listen to his teachings, and obey his commands...... Because he is the only one of the Three Jewels who can talk to you, and the meaning of the first two needs to be conveyed and explained by him, the 'Sangha' is the spokesperson of the Dharma in the world, and its status is naturally supreme, and every word it says is naturally like the existence of the Dharma.
And who is the so-called attained holy monk? Naturally, it is the reincarnation of a living Buddha like Sonam Gyatso.
This is so powerful that it can make believers completely ignore secular power...... Because the nobles of the secular regime are still in reincarnation, they naturally cannot guide the believers to transcend the past life, and only those who completely obey the holy monks and monks are the only way to be saved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sonam Gyatso put his hand on the top of Noyandara's head, gave him an initiation, and after chanting Sanskrit, sprinkled pure water on his head, accepted his refuge, and gave him the Dharma name 'Tsangkrava', which means 'mercy as the sea'.
But when he arrived at Unacchu, Sonam Gyatso closed his eyes and shook his head and said, "You can't take refuge yet." ”
Unachu stared at his dark eyes and said, "Why? ”
"Because if you take refuge in the Buddha, you will not worship other gods and ghosts, and if you take refuge in the holy Dharma, you must follow the Buddha's teachings, and in particular, you must not kill people; Those who have taken refuge in the holy monks do not believe in pagan religions, nor do they associate with sinners. Sonam Gyatso said lightly.
"What is a 'sinner'?" Unachu was a little afraid to look directly into Sonam Gyatso's gaze, those eyes were dark and deep, as if they contained the mysteries of the universe, and people could not afford to lie.
"'Sin friends' are those who teach and tempt us to hurt others, without relying on cause and effect." Sonam Gyatso looked at Unachu with a smile and said, "Female Tanyue, do you have such a guilty friend?" ”
"......" Unachu's face changed and changed, and finally bowed his head and said, "No." ”
"Okay, I'll trust you for now." Sonam Gyatso smiled and said, "However, Tantra has a law, and the Dharma is not passed on lightly. Your opportunity has not yet arrived, I can't accept your conversion this time, and the female Tanyue still needs to suffer in the red dust. Noyandara was about to speak, but the guru raised his hand and said to Unachu: "I see that Nu Tanyue has an extraordinary face, and in the future, it may involve the well-being of tens of millions of people, so I hope you can do it yourself and not fall into the evil path." As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger and tapped it on Unachu's forehead, and she felt a coolness run down his fingertips and down his head, through the tip of his nose and chin to his chest, and finally to his heart. Then I heard Sonam Gyatso say softly: "I leave a little clarity in your heart, and I hope you will think twice about it from now on, so as not to regret it for the rest of your life." ”
If Unachu could still keep his heart clear before, but after the living Buddha's repeated rubbing, he couldn't help but lose his soul, as if infinite thoughts were pouring into his heart.
"Lawal, take your son-in-law to rest first," Sonam Gyatso commanded, "I have something to say to the Overseer. ”
"Yes......" Noyandala bowed, and then went down with her daughter.
~~~~~~~~
Sonam Gyatso also retreated, and only him and silence were left in the Buddhist hall. He smiled silently and asked, "Does the master see that I have a Buddha fate?" ”
The Living Buddha stepped down from the Dharma seat, sat down in the previous seat of Noyan Dara, and said with a smile: "Of course there is, in fact, the Governor himself does not know, you are also a reincarnated monk of my Yellow Sect. ”
"Oh?" Shen Mo's hand holding the teacup froze, looked at Sonam Gyatso and said, "Why don't I know myself? ”
"The reincarnated spirit child needs to be taught by a high monk and practice for more than ten years before he can realize himself." Sonam Gyatso smiled mysteriously and said: "And you were reincarnated in the Central Plains, and I couldn't do anything in Han and couldn't guide my junior brother, so my junior brother has always been out of ignorance and unable to understand his past life. ”
"Hehe......" Shen Mo brought the teacup to his lips, slowly sipped the butter tea that he was not used to, and his mind turned for a moment before he smiled: "Then how can I realize my previous life?" ”
"If you are young and have not yet attained enlightenment, you only need the initiation of a bhikshu," Sonam Gyatso said, "but now that the junior disciple has passed the age of his initiation, he has already matured his mind and is difficult to shake, and it is not advisable to forcibly initiate the initiation, which may disturb your mind." After a pause, he said, "So there is no other way but self-cultivation." ”
"......" nodded silently, indicating that he understood.
"My brother may think I'm talking," Sonam Gyatso laughed, "but I can prove it to you." ”
"How?" He said in a deep voice.
"Use my tantric method." Sonam Gyatso's smile became more and more mysterious: "But I want my junior brother to completely open my heart to me, because although you have not cultivated, after all, you are the reincarnation of a bhikshu, and your spirit is very strong, unless you take the initiative to let go, I can't help you." ”
Shen Mo's brows furrowed slightly, and then he unfolded, and his mood became a little complicated...... Although he does not believe in ghosts and gods, after all, the other party is a holy monk of Tibetan Buddhism, and until 500 years later, he is still a fanatical believer in the religion, and his methods and deeds must not be underestimated. subconsciously wanted to refuse, but vaguely felt that the other party would not harm him, because it would not do him any good.
Seeing him groaning, Sonam Gyatso was not in a hurry, but just lit a pillar of Tibetan incense and inserted it between the two.
'That's it......' Shen Mo quickly understood the situation, and it was impossible to refuse at the moment, so he had to deal with it carefully, and he must not fall into the other party's way. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Please." ”
Sonam Gyatso stretched out his hand and said, "Please give me your right hand." ”
Shen Mo stretched out his hand, Sonam Gyatso gently held it, and said with a smile: "Close your eyes, slow down your breathing, and listen to me recite a scripture." ”
Silence closed his eyes, slowly slowed his breathing, and listened to Sonam Gyatso chant a mysterious Sanskrit sound in a deep and pleasant voice.
The silence was alert at first, but the Sanskrit sound came into his mind in a strange rhythm, pulling his breathing to slow gradually. Unconsciously, the whole person feels trance, calm and quiet, as if he has entered a deep sleep, but it seems to be clearly understood...... It's like going back to the baby state, and life starts from scratch. He saw his previous life, his parents died when he was a child, he grew up in a welfare home until he was 16 years old, was admitted to one of the top key universities in the country, returned to his hometown after graduation, entered a government agency, worked hard for ten years, and finally came to the beginning, but after a serious illness coma, he magically returned to 500 years ago and became a fourteen-year-old boy named Chaosheng. then from the sorrow of father and son depending on each other, to the harmony of flowers and candles in the cave room; from the hardships of hard reading in the cold window to the pride of the title of the gold list; From the hardship of being in prison to the soaring of youth; from the Lingyin of the Jiangnan Dynasty to the Zaizhi of the Longqing Dynasty; from the pawn who crossed the river during the Yan Party period to the words after overthrowing the Xu Party; From the quagmire and difficult southeast battlefield to the Saishang grassland of Jinge Iron Horse; from like-minded promises to mutual calculations; From the generosity and tragedy of promising the country with his body, to the hardships and hesitations that he can't help himself......
The scenes of flashes of light, joys and sorrows, impacted his heart, making him sometimes burst into tears, sometimes sighing to himself......
~~
This state lasted for an unknown amount of time, and when he reopened his eyes, the pillar of Tibetan incense had just burned out. Then he saw Sonam Gyatso looking at him with a smile. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, and found that he felt as if he had returned to the time he had been eighteen, with a clear mind and full of vitality.
"Has my junior brother ever come to my senses?" Sonam Gyatso asked with a smile.
"You're hypnotizing me?" Shen Mo was aware of his anomaly, but he didn't feel how angry he was.
"I'm just letting you see your past and present lives clearly." Sonam Gyatso said, "Senior brother, don't you know that you are also reincarnated? ”
"......" looked at Sonam Gyatso silently, and after a moment, he chuckled and said, "So what? I'm not going to be a lama. ”
