One hundred and twenty-four

Litang Monastery is also called Changqingchun Kol Monastery, in Tibetan area, it is known as "there are three major monasteries in Lhasa, there is Andotar Monastery below, and there is Litang Changqingchun Kol Monastery". The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is located on the north slope of Litang County, the scale is large, the building stretches up the hillside, and the layers are distinct. The hats worn by the lamas know that Litang Monastery belongs to the Yellow Sect. Yellow Sect and Red Sect are Chinese sayings, and those with yellow hats are the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism, those with red hats are the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and those with black hats are the Yongzhong sect of Bon Buddhism of Tibetan Buddhism.

Litang, which means "grass dam like a bronze mirror" in Chinese, is known as the world's highest city, with an altitude of 4,014 meters. Many tourists rush through Litang and dare not stop, because the altitude here is too high. Litang is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, the sun seems to be closer, the sun on the plateau is dazzling to make people feel dizzy, the color of the temple building is very bright, a large area of yellow and red, and white, and the carved beams and pillars are colorful from time to time. However, this color is not lively, but a kind of alienation, and even a sense of desolation, as if the universe is desolate and time is endless. When walking up, from time to time, there are lamas roaring past on motorcycles, and the red monk's robes flutter in the wind, and the aura is very strong. Here, there is a man named Changyang Gyatso, and stories about him are widely circulated. In particular, his love story and the love poems he wrote are known to everyone.

Cangyang Gyatso is a famous figure in Tibetan history. His father's name is Tashi Tenzin, and he believes in the Red Religion; The dam is Wanglam. Born in the corner of the door of the Ravo Yusong, he was very sensitive, he once worshipped the fifth generation as a teacher, and was ordained by Luosang Rinchen Cangyang Gyatso. Later, he was welcomed to the Potala Palace, where he was directly trained by the famous scholar Sangyel Gyatso, where he studied astronomical calendricals, medicine and literature, and had a deep knowledge of poetry. At the age of twenty, Cangyang Gyatso, a victim of the upper ruling class's struggle for power, began his own wandering life. He has traveled to Qinghai, Gansu, Mongolia, Sichuan, Tibet, India, Nepal and other places. He used to be a beggar, gave corpses, and lived an extremely difficult life. Because he has been in contact with the broad masses of the people and has rich life practices, he has written a beautiful and moving "Cangyang Gyatso Love Song". One said that Cangyang Gyatso was killed on his way to Beijing, and that the works he wrote were written before the age of 25. He is a noble and noble king, but he has a heart that does not shy away from the world, yearning for freedom, love, and the joy of the world. In the Buddha's world, he is an "alien" who dares to break through the world. In the human world, he is known as "the most beautiful lover in the world" and dares to pursue true love. In the world of art, he is a wonderful flower, and has written many poems and love songs that have survived to this day.

About 300 years ago, a man fell in love with a woman. The woman had dark, bright eyes, like freshly made wine. But that man was extraordinary, he was the living Buddha of the Tibetan people, the 6th Changyang Gyatso. Compared with ordinary living Buddhas, Cangyang Gyatso appears to be non-mainstream. Normally, reincarnated children are enthroned as living Buddhas at the age of five or six to receive education, but Changyang Gyatso did not begin his studies as a Dharma King until he was 15 years old. Suddenly, I was far away from my relatives in my hometown, and in the face of a large number of scriptures and practices, I was surrounded by the strict discipline of the enlightened monks and the high requirements that were almost impossible to achieve. Cangyang Gyatso, a child who had grown up among the people, rebelled, and even though he had supreme rule over Tibet, he was still unhappy. The most important thing is that this handsome young man who is at the age of admiring women, he must strictly prohibit approaching the opposite sex according to the rules of the Gelug sect to which he belongs. In fact, long before he became a lama, there was a childhood sweetheart, and they farmed and herded together, and they were together all day long.

The Fifth Master, who had ordained the young Cangyang Gyatso, should be ordained again five years later. Cangyang Gyatso went to Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse as promised. Through the autobiography of the Fifth Emperor, we learn that the master prayed for persuasion for a long time, but Changyang Gyatso was silent, and then resolutely got up and took the door. He knelt on his knees outside the Great Hall of Daylight, kowtowed to the master three times, and said only one sentence over and over again: "I am really ashamed to disobey the order of the master!" "The thoughts are gone. Changyang Gyatso not only refused to take the bhikshu ordination, but asked the master to withdraw the ordination and novice ordination he had previously received. When he said this, Cangyang Gyatso was in deep pain: "If I don't return the ordination and novice vows I have received, I will commit suicide facing Tashilhunpo Monastery." Choose one of the two! ”

"I have worried about hurting the Brahman, and I am afraid that I will not fall into the city when I enter the mountain, and I will have the law in the world, and I will live up to it."

After entering the Potala Palace, he was tired of the monotonous and rigid life of the leader of the Yellow Sect in the deep palace, and always missed the colorful folk customs and the beautiful lover. Not only did he often go out at night to meet his beloved girl, but he also wrote many beautiful love poems regardless of the world. One day when it was snowing heavily, the lama who was cleaning the monastery found the footprints of people going out on the snow, so he followed the footprints and finally found the sleeping palace of Changyang Gyatso. The Iron Rod Lama, who then arrived in charge of discipline, severely punished Cangyang Gyatso's personal lama, and sent his lover to death to shut him down. After this life and death accident, the grief-stricken Cangyang Gyatso gradually buried the Buddha deep in his heart, and chose his own nature as a human being, and he began to write poems continuously, and it was love poems.

If you see or don't see me, I'll be there, not sad or happy. You think, or don't miss me, the love is there, don't come or go, you love, or don't love me, love is there, not increasing or decreasing, you follow, or don't follow me, my hand is in your hand, don't give up, come to my arms, or, let me live in your heart, silently love each other

Silence rejoices

Such verses can only be written by those who have a deep heart. The fate of Cangyang Gyatso is a cruel joke played by God, born in a poor family, raised in a land of freedom, but by chance became the supreme of the snowy region. It's just that the red face and the country have always been a difficult topic to choose. Throughout his life, Cangyang Gyatso was only confused by love, and regarded his position of power as dung. First, it's best not to see each other, so that you don't fall in love. Second, it's best not to know each other, so that you don't fall in love. Thirdly, it is better not to be accompanied, so that you do not owe each other. Fourth, it is better not to cherish each other, so that we can not remember each other. Fifth, it is better not to love each other, so that you can not abandon each other. Sixth, it is better not to meet in this way. Seventh, it is better not to be misplaced, so that there is no loss. Eighth, it is better not to allow each other, so that it can not be continued. Ninth, it is better not to depend on each other, so that you can not be together. Tenth, it is better not to meet, so that we can not meet. But if you have seen each other, you will know each other, and when you see each other, you will not see each other. Ande and Jun are absolutely exempt from teaching life and death to be lovesick.

For Cangyang Gyatso, a son of nature, he just conformed to his heart, fell in love with the world, and gave up the Buddha's fate. He also had pain in his heart, and he said, "It's better not to see each other, so that you don't fall in love." It's better not to know each other, so that you don't fall in love. It's better not to be together, so that you don't owe each other. It is better not to love each other, so that you do not abandon each other." Perhaps he knew that he had lost his freedom since the day he became king. That's why his earthly love is so suppressed, so intense, so desperate, and so crazy.

During the day, Changyang Gyatso appeared as a tantric Buddhist, and at night he wandered through wine shops, private houses, and the streets of Lhasa under the pseudonym of Tamsang Wangbo, so much so that he was actually in the Potala Palace: "Dressed in silk, wearing a glittering gold ring, with long flowing hair on his head, singing, dancing and drinking." His poem says: "Living in the Potala Palace, I am the supreme king of the snowy land." Wandering the streets of Lhasa, I became the most beautiful lover in the world. ”

The sacred religious laws could not tolerate his deviance, and Cangyang Gyatso was deposed by the Kangxi Emperor for "being drunk and not abiding by the rules". The 24-year-old Cangyang Gyatso was on the way to be escorted, and some people said that he was poisoned and died on the way, and some people said that he wandered the world from then on. This set up quite an obstacle for the later search for the new VI. A Tibet without a lama is like a person without a soul. As a result, the search for the reincarnated spirit child of the sixth generation was launched in Tibet. In Tibetan Buddhism, there are many procedures for the reincarnation of a spirit child, including a will before his death, important signals such as the face orientation at the time of death, and Changyang Gyatso did not leave it. He was not destined to be a rule-abiding lama, and he refused to "cooperate" at this point during his lifetime, or fate doomed him to be unable to cooperate.

And one of the most dramatic details is that when people greeted the sixth spirit boy, they were surprised to find that the spirit child was actually in Litang, the hometown of Changyang Gyatso's lover Maji Ami. It is in response to the last poem of Cangyang Gyatso before his death: "The crane flies high, and the clouds are covered with snow." Don't hate the end of the world on this trip, and return to Litang at hand. ”

The solemn Potala Palace, the residence of the lamas of the past generations. It rejected Changyang Gyatso forever with a gesture of honor and eminence. In the history of Tibet, there have been a total of 14 generations of lamas, except for the first generation of the spiritual pagoda in Tashilhunpo Monastery, other generations of lamas always have spiritual pagodas, statues, paintings and other monuments enshrined in the Potala Palace, even if people do not mention that only the eleven-year-old ninth and eighteen-year-old eleventh, there are their spiritual pagodas, however, what about the famous sixth Cangyang Gyatso? The statue will not be cast again, and his shadow cannot be seen in the murals, as for the placement of the spiritual pagoda, the Potala Palace said, he? Unworthy. However, his poems have spread all over the former and later Tibet, all over northern and southern Tibet, all over the ancient Shannan, and all over the north and south of the great river.

This is the final ending of Cangyang Gyatso, for 300 years, people have sung Cangyang Gyatso's love poems, just for Cangyang Gyatso, it is the defection of the ruling class, it is the strange and incoherent king of Tibet, it is an unsuccessful living Buddha, but it is a great poet, and it is the most beautiful lover in the heart of a woman in the world! The autumn of 1697 was a desolate autumn for the 14-year-old Monpa boy Cangyang Gyatso.
