Chapter 848: Sonam Gyatso (Part II)
Chapter 848: Sonam Gyatso (Middle)
"Senior brother is obsessed." Sonam Gyatso smiled and said, "Whether you admit it or not, the facts are there." There is cause and effect in the underworld, which drives you and me, so there is this meeting of thousands of miles......" said and suddenly shouted: "Senior brother, I came here to attract you!" ”
Silence's brain buzzed, and for a moment, he felt as if he had really been seen through. He knew that Tantra had many mystical methods, and he believed that the reincarnation of a living Buddha had its own mysteries. What's more, he himself is really a secret of the second world, and it seems that he has been broken by the other party...... Do you really want to take refuge?
But what if you see through it? For politicians, it is a basic quality to open their eyes and tell nonsense, regardless of the facts, they say yes, they don't, they don't, they don't. Anyway, as long as the crowd is not caught by the hands and necks, everything else is a floating cloud.
So after recovering from the initial shock, the silent brain began to run rapidly, and the cause and effect of this incident were analyzed...... First of all, he is definitely not the reincarnation of a holy monk, he has two lives before and after, more than half a hundred years old, and when he sees a beautiful young girl, he can't help but think about it, is the reincarnation of a holy monk this virtue? What's more, even if you are a holy monk? Did you really go back to the lama temple with him to become a monk?
What difference does it make if you admit it or not? Shen Mo couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, regaining control of his thoughts. Even if the other party sees through himself, he can see through the other party now...... Sonam Gyatso, the future one, is not only a respected monk, but also an outstanding statesman!
In his silent mind, he quickly swiped over the Tibetan information collected by the Military Intelligence Department......
There are many sects of Tibetan Buddhism, and there were originally four main sects, according to the colors of the clothing worn and the building, which were divided into four sects: red, white, yellow, and black. The Gelug school founded by the first generation of holy monk Tsongkhapa, whose teachings originated from the Kadam school, but had both its distinctive characteristics and strict management system, quickly became one of the important schools of Tibetan Buddhism, called the New Kadam School, also known as the Yellow School.
The rise of the Gelug sect was inevitably hostile and ostracized by other sects and the secular regimes that supported them. Moreover, because the social and cultural foundation of the Gelug sect was not yet solid, it could only survive under the wing of the Ming Emperor who ruled Lhasa. Fortunately, the kings of the past dynasties believed in the Gelug school, and their sect did have the advantages that other schools could not match, so it developed and grew rapidly, and the temples were all over the Tibetan area.
However, the good times did not last long, and with the death of the eighth generation of the king of interpretation, Dzhaba Gyaltsen of the Pazhu royal family, there was infighting within the royal family for the right to inherit, and the power of the Pazhu royal family fell from prosperity to decline. Soon, the Renbang family, who were both important ministers and relatives, intervened in the succession to the throne, took care of government affairs, and even hijacked the royal family by force. The Renbang family not only betrayed the Pazhu royal family politically, but also linked up with the Red Sect religiously to ostracize and fight against the Gelug sect.
The situation of the Gelug sect took a sharp turn for the worse, and it was on the verge of life and death. Under the pressure of survival, there is an urgent need for a stable leadership body around which all the Gelug monks rally tightly to fight against hostile forces. Therefore, the Gelugpists first adopted the method of reincarnating their leaders, so as to avoid internal disputes caused by the seizure of leadership and obtain a stable leadership group. Moreover, since the leader was nominally a single person, his social relations could be inherited in name only, and his status could be elevated to the status of a secular nobleman and above, making it easier for him to deal with the noble lords.
After the establishment of the 'reincarnation of the living Buddha' system, the position of the Gelug sect was finally stabilized, and under the leadership of the 'living Buddha' Gendun Gyatso, who had superb political ability, he helped the Pazhu royal family drive out Rinpungpa from Lhasa and obtained the status of presiding over the prayer meeting. Gendungyatso also undertook a series of political reforms that made the Gelug sect more organized and politically influential.
However, before the ideal could become a reality, the death of Gendun Gyatso plunged the sect back into crisis. This forced the upper echelons of the Gelug sect to decide to continue to implement the system of reincarnation of living Buddhas, and to make the selection of reincarnated spirit children a major matter related to the survival of the sect. After searching, I finally found an ideal child, who was Sonam Gyatso in front of Shen Mo.
According to a detailed investigation by the Department of Military Intelligence, Sonam Gyatso's secular family had a close relationship with the royal family of Phra Zhu, rather than a family of small serf owners as claimed by the Gelug sect...... His biological father held a key position in the Lhasa regime, and his mother was a descendant of the Pazhu royal family, and both husband and wife were Gelug believers.
At this point, the biggest difference between the Gelug sect and other sects is completely revealed - that is, it is strongly political!
When Sonam Gyatso grew up and took over as the leader of the Gelug sect, the situation was once again very unfavorable for his sect - although the Rinpung family was ousted, the Pazhu regime was in decline, and another wealthy family, the Sinshapa family, took the opportunity to take power, and the family still supported the Red Sect, not only returning the qualification to preside over the prayer meeting, but also forbidding the Gelug monks to participate in the meeting.
The Gelugpists were again marginalized in Lhasa. In order to survive, they have spared no effort to find their new political and military protectors and supporters, hoping to escape this predicament of discrimination, exclusion or even death. But there are no more competent forces in Tibet.
At this time, Altan Khan was running Qinghai strongly, and his strength far exceeded that of any other power in Tibet, and many Tibetan monks and laymen had already attached themselves to him. It was clear that the Gelugpa had set their sights on him for the backstage...... The problem is that although Alta's son, Bingtu Taiji, who was stationed in Qinghai, had converted to Lamaism, and Alta did not reject this religion, he was not allowed to spread it among his subjects.
According to reliable information, Sonam Gyatso's uncle, Lama Axing, had secretly visited Hohhot and asked to meet with him, but the exact content of the conversation was unknown, but the result was that he treated Lama Axing as a guest of honor, and sent his son Bingtu Taiji to invite Sonam Gyatso to Hohhot for a meeting, but Sonam Gyatso did not immediately agree.
~~
Because almost at the same time, an invitation from Prime Minister Daming was also placed in front of Sonam Gyatso.
Although over the years, Altan Khan made the Ming Dynasty very faceless, and pulled out all the four guards of the Ming Dynasty outside the Qinghai Saiwai, leaving only one Xining Wei. But Tibet, after all, is still dominated by the Ming Dynasty - when the Yongle Emperor was crowned the third ** king in Tibet, he led Lamaism; The Five Guardian Kings were given a share of vast Tibetan lands and were allowed to pay regular tribute...... Because the imperial court has always adhered to the tributary policy of 'thin and generous exchanges', in fact, it is clear that it is to give benefits to these feudal kings in exchange for their obedientness. Therefore, since Yongle to the present, Tibetan monks and lay leaders have vied with each other to pay tribute, although the burden on the country's finances has increased, but it is precisely because of this blood transfusion that the Ming and Tibet still maintain the relationship between the lord and the minister.
Whether it is an appointment to answer or an appointment to Daming, if it is an ordinary person, it will probably choose the former, after all, Daming has not yet shown the intention of recovering the Hetao at that time, in line with the guiding ideology of 'county officials are not as good as being in charge', and will first put Daming's appointment aside, so as not to annoy me.
But as the strongest political lama in history, Sonam Gyatso did not make a mistake, and in the military parade just held, he inquired in detail about the monks stationed in Beijing with the help of the Ming post system, and came to the judgment that the Ming Dynasty might have to make a big move, even if there was no big move, there was a judgment of great determination. At this juncture, if he ignores the invitation of the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty and goes to the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty, I Da, he will undoubtedly lose more than he gains...... At least that's what Sonam Gyatso thinks.
So he overrode public opinion, immediately replied to Da Ming, and happily set off.
Before leaving, Lama Axing, who advocated meeting with Altan Khan, asked worriedly, "How should Altan Khan reply?" ”
"Zhuge Liang still has to look at the thatched house." The erudite Sonam Gyatso replied: "As soon as you invite you, you will despise this religion and your status will be affected in the future." ”
"Then, aren't you afraid of being despised by Da Ming?" Ah Xing Lama's heart said, "Why do you have double standards?"
"I guess that this time the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty coincides with us, and we don't plan to preach in Han, so there is no need to be pretentious." Sonam Gyatso said lightly: "What's more, the officials of the Heavenly Empire love vanity the most, if you respect him for a foot, he will pay you back, we can't lose." "When I got halfway there, I learned that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Hetao, and successfully took Dongsheng City and captured Mongolian Jinong. Sonam Gyatso was more convinced of his judgment than he was glad...... Da Ming wants to let himself do what he can't do on the battlefield.
Sonam Gyatso would not refuse, because with the support of the Ming Dynasty, he would preach in the steppe and become like a tiger. If they can subdue the Mongols and have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, the Gelug faction will not worry about survival, but will have to consider how to lead Quanzang.
No matter which direction it takes, as the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, he is the key person to control the silence of the nine sides, and he is the key person to achieve his goal, and if he can convert this person, great things can be done!
So from the very beginning, Sonam Gyatso set his goal on silence, but the other party was obviously not interested in religious things, and he tried his best to talk about it...... In order to describe Western bliss, he even borrowed the saying of the Pure Land sect, just so that he could be converted. Helplessly, after three days, the father and daughter washed their brains several times, but Inspector Shen, who had been listening carefully, had only been looking at him with appreciation, and was actually indifferent.
For such diehards, who cannot be persuaded by words alone, Sonam Gyatso has no choice but to resort to a trick. From the beginning of the day, he was slowly arranging, first using Noyandala's refuge to warm up; In the past few days, the conclusions drawn from observing Unachu's words and deeds have shocked the silent heart. Seeing that he was still indifferent, he had no choice but to use the mantra secret method, supplemented by the fragrance of requiem, to hypnotize the other party. Let it be in a hypnotic situation, feel the Western Elysium...... When he came to his senses, he converted him with very demagogic language, even supplemented by the roar of a lion.
However, as a result, this guy still refused to take refuge, and this was the first time in more than ten years that Sonam Gyatso Budso had been enlightened, and he was so angry that he almost committed the rebuke.
But after all, he was a high monk who had been reincarnated in the third life, and he said without any abnormality on his face: "Senior brother was originally an enlightened monk, so naturally he has your cultivation method. It seems that in this life, he has decided to practice in the imperial court. He smiled as if he had come to his senses: "That's right, it's easy to practice in the public gate, the junior brother is firm, and he will definitely be able to travel thousands of miles a day, and I am really envious of me...... Just remember, try to be less involved in cause and effect, and do more good deeds! ”
"Thank you for your teachings." Shen Mo also accepted it when he saw it, and gave the other party a step and said, "In the future, I will have to give my senior brother a lot of advice." ”
"I can't talk about instructing, I just give you back some of the things you forgot." Sonam Gyatso said with a smile: "I will pass on the exercises to you when I go back." Practicing once a day will keep you safe from all diseases, clear your mind, and whatever you do in the future, it will be of great benefit. ”
"Can this method probe into other people's hearts?" asked with a silent smile.
"Of course not." Sonam Gyatso glanced at him and said with a smile: "People's hearts are guarded by souls, even if they enter that mysterious state, they will subconsciously protect their hearts. There may be evil spells that can forcibly open the guard and probe people's hearts. But if you and I have taken refuge in the Dharma, how can we get involved in the outer ways of demons? He introduced it so clearly, obviously not only to let Shen Mo understand, but also to clarify his own meaning: "This method can only guide you to return to the basics, and always correct the deviations in your behavior with the heart of a child." ”
"That's a pity," Shen Mo laughed, "but it's okay, people have the right to keep their own secrets." ”
"Yes." Sonam Gyatso nodded and said with a smile: "It's just your secret, it seems to be a bit much." ”
"Hahaha......" Shen smiled silently: "Isn't there a secret for senior brother?" ”
"A cultivator must have a pure heart." Sonam Gyatso shook his head and smiled: "You must know everything and say everything, so that you can purify the two obstacles and not hinder your cultivation." These words undoubtedly announced the end of the fight and got to the point.
"Really?" Shen Mo naturally heard it, and he really admired Sonam Gyatso for being able to take it and put it down, so he was not polite, and said with a smile: "Then I want to ask, at the beginning of the year, why did Lama Axing go to the grassland." ”
"I sent him." Sonam Gyatso was frank and said, "In order to persuade Alta to accept this religion." ”
"The result?" Shen Mo asked.
"Altan Khan, I have been converted." Sonam Gyatso looked at him a little depressed, and said in his heart, I can get my answer when I sit down as a lama, but now I am out in person, but I can't take you, it's really shameless. Or do I say that Tibetan Buddhism is inherently unsuitable for Han Chinese?

"Ming Shi Nan Gyatso 'has a strange art to convince people, all of them do not follow its teachings, that is, the Great Treasure Dharma King and the Interpretation of the kings, they are also all bowed down to the disciples, self, the West only knows to serve this monk, all the kings have a vacant position, and can no longer give their orders'. I don't know what kind of abilities this master has, so I can only think about it, don't blame the teacher.
There is no hard stuff in the back......
