Chapter 72: Exploring the Snowy Land

The first stop of Longdan's snowy trip came to the Sakya Temple on the snowy plateau. The history of Sakya Monastery is very long. In the early 13th century, the Mongol tribes led by Genghis Khan rose up and unified the Central Plains by force. In 1240, before the Yuan Dynasty Kuorui marched into the snowy region, he summoned Saban Gongga Gyaltsen, who had a high reputation among the various sects. In 1244, Sapan Gongga Gyaltsen led his nephew Phags-pa (1235-1280) to Liangzhou. In 1247, he met with Kuoduan in Liangzhou and wrote a letter to persuade the monks and nobles of various factions in the snowy region to accept the conditions of the Yuan Dynasty for the snowy region, and officially incorporated the snowy region into the territory of China. After Kublai Khan unified the whole country and established the central government of the Yuan Dynasty, he named Phags-pa as the "emperor" and gave the jade seal "Destiny to Unify the World", that is, to manage the country's Buddhist affairs, and to assist the central government in managing the snowy region, leading 130,000 households in the snowy region, according to Kublai Khan's instructions, in the snowy region, the household registration was checked, the law was formulated, and in 1268, the local government with the same structure as other provinces in China was formally established in Sakya, and the Sakya faction became the local administrator of the snowy region subordinate to the central government of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Sakya faction reached its peak. In the second half of the 14th century, with the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the position of the Sakya sect in the snowy region was replaced by the other sect, but the sect still maintained. The Sakya sect does not prohibit marrying wives, and the main practice is the teachings of Daoguo. The Sakya school played an important role in the development of snowy culture. During the period when the Sakya sect assisted the Yuan Dynasty to dominate the snowy region, the snowy region ended more than 400 years of war, social production was developed, and culture and art flourished. The script created by Phags-pa at the behest of Kublai Khan, also known as Phag-pa script, occupies an important place in the history of Chinese writing.

Sakya Monastery is built on both sides of the Quzhong River, so it is called Sakya South Temple and Sakya North Temple. The temple has more than 40 building units, and it is a large-scale temple complex. In 1073 A.D., when Kunchok Jebu first built the Sakya North Monastery, the structure was simple and the scale was very small. Later, the Sakya kings continued to expand the slopes up and down the hillside, adding a golden roof and adding many buildings, thus forming a large-scale complex of overlapping buildings. Phags-pa was named the "Emperor" by the central government of the Yuan Dynasty, and after he ruled the snowy region, the Sakya North Monastery became the seat of the local government in the snowy region.

Long Dan came to Sakya Monastery, according to the rules of ordinary believers to worship the holy relics of the temple, just about to get up, he saw a little lama come to Long Dan, said: "Donor, please come with me, our great lama is going to summon you", Long Dan was also very surprised, but felt that it should be a good thing for the big lama in the temple to summon him, so he followed the little lama in.

Long Dan followed the little lama, turned more than a dozen turns, and came to the apse of the temple. There is no light in the apse, and it is a little dark, but Long Dan can still see clearly because he opened the eye of heaven and looks at it. A thin old man sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, looking at Long Dan with a pair of bright eyes. Long Dan was irradiated by the old man's gaze, and there was a cool feeling, indescribably comfortable.

Long Dan walked forward, made a gesture, folded his hands, and said to the old man: "The master is polite", the old man looked kind, and said: "Sure enough, sure enough", Long Dan couldn't understand, so he smiled and said, "What does the master have to teach me?" The old man asked: "It is rare for such a person in the Central Plains to be such a person, may I ask who the donor master is?" Long Dan was also stunned when he saw that the old man asked about his master, so he said truthfully? "I only know that the master's surname is Long, but I really don't know what the master's old man's name is." The old man said: "Everyone has their own secrets, don't say it", the old man actually misunderstood Long Dan, Long Dan only knew that the old man was walking the dragon, and it was his own family, but the master never told himself what his name was, and he was usually called by the old man, but it was also very disrespectful to ask Long Dan to make up a name for the master.

The old man said, "My name is Sakya, and I am the lama of this monastery, can you tell me what your name is?" "Long Dan, I am from Qilu Province, I respect the order of my master and came out to travel", Long Dan said happily. The Sakya Lama said, "It seems that the donor has not been opening the Eye of Heaven for a long time, right? Long Dan was also shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: "This lama is so powerful, how did he know that he had opened the eye of heaven?" And do you know when you open the eye of the sky? He said: "The master is really a master, and the time when I opened the eye of heaven is in these years." The Sakya Lama said: "Don't be surprised, our Sakya Monastery also has this kind of **, and people who practice this kind of ** have an instinct of the same mind. I just sensed that the donor would also be like this**, but I don't know which one the donor is learning? ”

Long Dan said that he could see the phenomenon after opening the eye of heaven, and the Sakya Lama sighed: "It is still a vast place in the Central Plains, and there are many people, and you have learned this kind of ** is much more clever than our Sakya Temple", and then took out a book wrapped in yellow satin, handed it to Long Dan, and said: "This is our practice**, the dragon donor can take a look." Long Dan took the book and read it carefully.

The ** of Sakya Monastery is mainly divided into two parts, one is the Qi observation method and the other is the induction method. The Qi Observation Method is one of the secret techniques of the Snowy Esoteric Sect, and it is also the main content of the Tianyantong. Tantra believes that the human body is surrounded by zΓ i qi and qi. The air hood is the magnetic field that surrounds the human body, it is the precursor of qi, and it can also be said to be the core of qi. Some people have air shields that surround every part of their body, about one-eighth of an inch thick, and even every hair surrounds them. In addition, some hoods may extend to a few inches, but are usually no more than six inches. The thickness of a person's life can be seen from the thickness and width of the air shield, and its thickness will change according to the health condition. Beyond the hood is qi, which also has an electromagnetic nature. Compared with the fine qi, the air hood can only be regarded as a crude product. The qi mask covers the whole body according to the contours of the body, while the qi expands outwards to form an egg shape, sometimes up to seven feet tall, four feet wide, and even taller and wider. The narrowest part of the egg shape is at the bottom layer, which is the part of the foot. At the very top of the qi is the aperture or aura of the lotus seat. Qi consists of many colored radiant rays that are emitted outwards from the centers of various parts of the body. TTQ)]?% Qi has many colors, and from the different colors of Qi, it can be seen that a person's conditions such as illness, health, depression, success, lying, death, love and hate. When a person is critically ill, his qi will dim. In some cases, the qi is completely lost before death; If a person is bedridden for a long time, then the qi does disappear before death, leaving only the qi mask. On the other hand, if an accident dies and the health turns out to be fine, the qi will remain for a few minutes after the doctor determines the death. The higher a person's spirit, the more his aperture will take on the color of gold. If a person has a bad mind, his aperture is unsightly. If there is a yellow-green band of light, it shows that the person is dishonest. 3fr8_6e! Qi disappears quickly after death, but the qi mask can stay for a long time, depending on the health of the person before death. The air hood can float meaninglessly everywhere, and many people have seen the blue light fluttering around the new grave, and it is easier to see it at night, which is of course just the phenomenon of the air mask floating away from the dead body.|zt5N$%As long as you practice patiently, most people can see the air hood and qi of the human body, but don't focus too much when you look at it, you must be relaxed, otherwise you will turn a blind eye. For most people, the most difficult aspect of qi observation is that they don't believe in the existence of qi that they see.

No matter how far apart they are, when their minds are calm, they can receive telepathic messages from specific people, know each other's thoughts, and even talk to each other. The principle is that the brain has a range of different areas, about the area of the halo, which can receive radio waves emitted by others. This type of electrocardiogram can be acquired by training. According to this book, the main magical techniques of Tibetan Esoteric include crystal balls, karmic mirrors, touch, vision, light body techniques, acupoints, astrology, and so on. Crystal balls, karmic mirrors and touch vision all belong to the scope of the use of Tianyantong's functions. Through guΓ²'s long gaze at the crystal ball, you can see the historical scenes you want to see, and you can practice entering any period of history. The karmic mirror is a higher-level supernatural technique, through the vibration and light waves of the void, you can form all kinds of pictures, you can look back on history, and see the past. Tactile vision, also known as "sight touched by fingers", also known as psychometric testing, is the ability to take out an object and know its origin, including its experience, who has owned it, and what the person's state of mind is. This kind of magic technique is very useful for identifying treasures. The acupuncture method can cause a person to lose consciousness and can be used for surgeries such as bone grafting or tooth extraction, and it is neither painful nor dangerous. It can make a person unconscious before he knows the point, and then regain full consciousness within hours or even seconds, with no adverse consequences. What's even more amazing is that it can make a person who is talking suddenly stop and finish the unfinished sentence while sober. JZ]3lr"nAll these supernatural powers are mysterious and incredible. Tantra also believes that before the Fall of human beings, everyone had the ability to travel with spirits, to see with their eyes, to know people with their hearts, and to light up their bodies with their feet. The reason for the fall of mankind is the misuse of these powers, for the sake of one's own interests, at the expense of the development of humanity as a whole. "Therefore, the application of these supernatural powers is subject to the laws of nature and the secret precepts, and whoever abuses these supernatural powers to do bad things will have his supernatural powers disappear.

Long Dan read it and remembered it, so he returned the book to the Sakya Lama, and said: "Thank you Master for believing in me, so that I can see the secret book of the Snow Tantra", the Sakya Lama said: "The treasures in the world are based on the virtuous person, you can come to the Sakya Temple, come to me, we are also fate, and just let you take a look, it is not a secret book, even if it is a good fate with you."

The Sakya Lama knows that Long Dan has the ability to never forget, not to mention that Long Dan still carefully reads the cheats, even if he looks at it in a hurry, Long Dan will recite it backwards, I don't know if the Sakya Lama knows Long Dan's memory ability and makes and thinks.
