Chapter 286: The Prophecy of the Buddha's Living Nirvana, the Dharma Body of the Great Virtuous Vajra in this World!
Neither the indoctrination of Jing Ming nor the support of King Trisong Detsen could resist the resistance of the old Bon forces. At this time, he had to invite Master Padmasambhava, who had great magical powers, to exert his magical powers, subdue demons and subdue demons, and remove obstacles to the development of Buddhism. In the 11th century, a new class of Buddhism was introduced to Tibet, and the rigid and stubborn forces within Buddhism vigorously opposed the newly introduced teachings. They are short-sighted and proceed from their own interests, slandering the newly introduced lineages of teachings such as the Great Buddha and the Kalachakra as "foreign paths" and "evil methods", and denigrating the tantric teachings practiced by the Re translators as "animal bull heads", and so on. In order to promote the Great Wisdom Method, the Re Translator used his magical power to carry out an unyielding struggle against the conservative forces.
After a long struggle, showing all kinds of magical powers, the Great Wisdom Vajra Method was slowly accepted by Tibet, and became one of the five Buddha-figures of the Yellow Sect!
This also established the status of Sange Monastery in Tibet!
Every year, a large number of believers come to Sange Monastery to worship and seek the Dharma!
But today the monastery is surprisingly quiet, with all the lamas gathered in the main hall and chanting the mantra under the guidance of the guru!
Believers and Dharma lamas sat outside the hall, and they looked at the hall with solemn faces!
Follow the lama sutra master inside and recite the "Great Vedic Vajra Mantra" over and over again!
Because today is the day when the Living Buddha prophesied that the Great Buddha Vajra would return to the world!
From the morning, there are also various miracles at Sange Temple!
It was drizzling, and countless rainbows and halos of different shapes suddenly appeared in the sky. Although it is the middle of winter, there are many small flowers blooming on the sunny hillside, and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers wafts wafts.
All kinds of miracles indicate that a great supernatural one is coming!
These miraculous sights also alarmed the lamas of the other monasteries, who rushed over with great difficulty. Help the lamas of Sanga Monastery to do the Dharma together!
"Is the Great Buddha really coming?"
The believer whispered outside.
"Shhhh
The person next to him whispered.
The believers reverently looked in the direction of the main hall, which enshrined the god in their hearts, the Great Mighty Vajra Dharmakaya!
Fear the nine-headed. It represents the nine types of deeds that suppressed Hades. Three eyes, meaning clairvoyance, see everything. The center head is black, the gauge pressure Hades, and the two buffalo horns are long, indicating the two truths and two truths, and the right three heads. The middle green, the right red, and the left yellow, like fighting for anger, power, and quietness, the left three heads, the middle white, the right gray, and the left black gray (death), which means purity, death, and anger, and the red head in the center and then the upper one, symbolizing the cannibalistic yaksha. The highest head is the yellow color of the Great Buddha Vajra, presenting the image of Manjushri, symbolizing charity and peace. Except for the top bodhisattva who wears a gorgeous jeweled crown (bodhisattva costume), the other eight sides wear a five-skull crown (Dharma protector costume). The buffalo face and the two horns represent the teachings of the illusion and the light of light, which is the essence of the tantric teachings. The nine faces represent the nine types of teachings of the Buddha. Sending a finger to the meaning of the Buddha land. Thirty-four arms, plus the body, speech, meaning, and the thirty-seven qualities of the Bodhisattva Buddha. That is, the Eightfold Path, the Four Pillars of Thought, the Four Divine Feet, the Four Righteous Judgments, the Five Roots, the Five Shaowei and the Seven Consciousness Branches. The right hand holds from top to bottom: Gao Yang, Moon Knife, White Cylinder, Pestle, Hook Knife, Javelin, Moon Axe, Sword, Arrow, Hook Knife, Stick, Human Bone Staff, Falun, Vajra, Vertebra, Dagger, and Hand Drum Respectively; hugged the Ming concubine "Luo Langzawa" (Chinese translation is the resurrection of the dead). Sixteen legs, crushing the sixteen-sided iron city of Hades. It also symbolizes the 16 emptiness. The right eight legs are bent and the eight heavenly kings are symbolized, and the symbols are men, buffaloes, oxen, deer, snakes, dogs, sheep and foxes, indicating the eight achievements; The body of the deity means that the general meaning is to be proficient in the 37 qualities. Realize the emptiness of the sixteen natures, and the obstacles and demons are gone. Achieve special achievements and attain great nirvana. It is also known as Yama Mandega, the Six-legged Venerable, and the Fearful Vajra. Commonly known as the Bull Head Ming King, the Tibetan name is Dorje Jijie. It is also the supreme yoga Buddha-figure, and the Tibetan Esoteric believes that it is the manifestation of Manjushri's wrath. The main Buddha-figure of the Gelug sect (Yellow Sect). In the East, he is called the Great Virtuous Ming King, the wrathful body of the Amitayus Buddha of the Western Lotus Blossom Division, and the Ming King who understands the troubles of all sentient beings. Because the deity is very powerful, it can subdue the poisonous dragon, cut off all obstacles, and deal with the Yama death demon, etc., so it is also called the Yama Demon Venerable.
The appearance of the Great Vedic King Kong looks very fierce, and the Ming Concubine King Kong Lu Xuan (also called Luo Langzawa) in his arms is also evil, without the compassion and gentleness of the Buddha statues that are usually seen, and their sexuality gives people a tense atmosphere. This reveals the mystery of the Tibetan Buddhist practice of the double body. Thangka is the embodiment of esoteric and abstract Buddhist teachings: the king represents compassion and the concubine represents wisdom, and their union represents the "unity of compassion and wisdom", which also represents the concept of "subduing".
Because of the long-term offering, the body of the Great Buddha Vajra is surrounded by a faint golden light, which looks very special!
The lama took the lamas to make mudras over and over again, reciting the scriptures!
In front of them is a huge Dharma bed, and when the Great Buddha Vajra appears, he will be invited to go to the Dharma bed and complete the enthronement ceremony!
Of course, there were many elderly lamas in the next room!
They are all true cultivators, with great prestige, and they have already cultivated all kinds of things*, and they have incredible divine powers!
They came here for only one purpose, and that was to identify!
Only with their unified approval will the monastery hold an enthronement ceremony for the reincarnation of Vajra!
After the enthronement ceremony, the reincarnation of the Great Vedic King Kong will be recognized by all walks of life!
Of course, there are also scripture teachers among these old lamas, and they will record the whole identification process meticulously!
"Why hasn't it appeared yet, the prophesied time is almost up!"
Guru Gesang said a little anxiously.
"Gesang, don't worry, the living Buddha's prophecy will not be wrong, the living Buddha predicted that King Kong would appear at noon, then he would definitely appear at noon!"
The scripture teacher next to him whispered comforting.
"Can I not be in a hurry. We started preparing for this festival a year ago, and not only the devotees of Sanga Monastery were notified, but even many elders from other sects came to watch the ceremony!"
Gesang said with some concern:
"What are we going to do if King Kong doesn't come?"
"Gesang. You have a demonic obstacle, you have to believe in the Living Buddha!"
The scripture teacher reprimanded him with some sternness.
"What you said is true!"
Gesang's face showed a look of fear, and he hurriedly sat cross-legged, formed a handprint, and suppressed his anxious feelings!
Gesang has such a feeling, and other people naturally have it!
If it weren't for the fact that this was the prophecy of the living Buddha's deathbed. I'm afraid that many people will quit early!
Little by little, the hour hand is already pointing in the direction of twelve!
More and more people are skeptical about the prophecy of the Living Buddha, whether the prophecy of the Living Buddha is wrong, or the lamas have misinterpreted it!
Some people can't bear the hunger in their stomachs and want to leave early!
Even the guru and scripture teacher who presided over the scene saw the emotions of the believers fluctuate. There is also some helplessness!
Just when the crowd slowly began to stir!
Suddenly, there was a sound of horns in the distance!
And the sound of the horn is getting clearer and clearer from far to near!
Everyone looked into the distance curiously, and suddenly found that a huge team appeared!
Dozens of lamas carrying huge horns walk in front, behind them is a huge Dharma bed, the whole Dharma bed is carved with fine mahogany, but also inlaid with seven treasures, above the Dharma bed, there are five-colored silk prayer flags hanging down. Unspeakable dignity.
A large number of lamas gathered around the Dharma bed, as if they were followers, and they seemed to be guards. Respectfully surround the surroundings!
As the lama advanced, the crowd spontaneously branched out in a way!
When the Dharma bed passes by, both lamas and devotees will kneel down and kowtow to the Dharma bed!
"Who's coming!"
"Who's coming, what a big battle!"
The believers who didn't see the Dharma bed looked into the distance and thought in doubt.
"It can't be a living Buddha who has arrived, right?"
Someone asked curiously.
"Even if the Living Buddha arrives, he can't have such a big battle, right?"
"Look at this formation, it can't be that the Dharma King has arrived!"
The crowd whispered.
The Gesang Lama and the scripture master of Sange Monastery, who got the news, trotted all the way up to meet them. I don't know who came, but he must have been a great man. Otherwise, the many believers would not be like this!
Gesang is young and has a good body. Walking in the front, when his gaze passed through the colorful prayer flags and fell on the face of the Dharma bed, his heart suddenly sank!
He felt like his heart was going to pop out!
"Why is this here!"
Chokyi Gyaltsen Living Buddha!
It turned out to be the living Buddha of Chokyi Gyaltsen!
Gesang had many speculations, but he didn't expect that the person sitting on the Dharma bed was actually a noble cheongsam, and it was indeed Ji Gyaltsen Living Buddha!
The name Chokyi Gyaltsen is very unfamiliar to many people!
But when it comes to his other name, everyone will understand!
The 10th Panchen Lama!
The Panchen Lama (Tibetan pinyin: bainqênlama, willy: pan-chenbla-ma, thl: lama, also known as Panchen Erdeni) is called in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, along with * lama, Ban is the Sanskrit "pandita" (meaning erudite) and Zen is the abbreviation of the Tibetan "chinpo" (willy: chenpo; meaning great). Tibetans generally believe that the Panchen Lama is the embodiment of the "Buddha Yuepamo", that is, Amitabha.
The Panchen Lama was originally one of the two major leaders of the Gelug sect, but with historical reasons, after the founding of New China, the status of the Panchen Lama became more noble!
In the hearts of Tibetans, the Panchen Lama is a living Buddha and the spiritual leader of Tibet!
It is not difficult to understand why the believers kneel on both sides of the Dharma bed and salute!
However, Lama Gesang was also very puzzled in his heart, as far as he knew, it was not a very heavy ceremony, and the living Buddha would not usually come in person!
For the sake of meditation, even the affairs of the monastery, the living Buddha are handed over to his master, why did he suddenly come to Sanga Monastery today?
