"Congratulations, congratulations, I really didn't mistake you." "This rope represents the proverbs and wisdom of the twenty-five Tibetan masters, and I have tried hundreds of times to unravel the secrets contained therein, but each time I have failed, and my wisdom is on the verge of collapse. You can do it, proving that your wisdom is much higher than mine. ”

I didn't dare to be arrogant, so I slowly stepped back and bowed to the knot.

When Riyue Niang said "twenty-five Tibetan masters", I immediately combed through the names of the famous Tibetan masters I knew, and immediately knew the meaning of the last five-syllable word. It was an abbreviation of a lama, and his real Tibetan name was extremely long, because he had studied so many schools of Buddhism that every time he changed his school, he added a secret note to his name.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of Tibetan Buddhism will know who that guru is.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Yueniang said "illuminating the Himalayas", because the lama contributed great wisdom, wealth, proverbs, and Buddhist teachings to Tibet during his lifetime, and single-handedly promoted the development of Tibetan Buddhism, and also changed the dilemma of many Tibetan compatriots who lacked food and clothing.

To this day, the master's disciples have invested in the construction of hydropower stations, water mills, schools, and roads in Tibet, and tens of millions of dollars are invested in maintenance every year.

After making such a great contribution to Tibet, his disciples still follow the teachings of the Guru and never build temples or engrave statues for him in Tibet, and live forever in the hearts of Tibetan compatriots with a detached attitude of "having no name, no want, and no left".

For such a "perfect" teacher, the juniors can no longer do more than revere him.

Combined with the life deeds and spiritual pursuits of that lama, and then carefully analyzing the four sentences just now, I will retranslate the meaning of the four sentences, which should be the following: "Reincarnation exists forever, and life and death are not important. Death can still be reborn, and there is no real end. ”

That's just the meaning of the smallest knot on this rope, and the remaining thirty-nine knots should contain a greater theory.

That lama has made a great deal of achievements in his life, and he is a well-deserved legend. It is said that he was born with a total of 12 fingers on his hands, and the fingertips respectively carry the "12 patterns of the universe" such as the arsenal, the library, the treasury, the treasury, the silver treasury, the treasury, the treasure treasury, the blessing treasury, the transportation treasury, the wooden treasury, the reservoir, the earth treasury, and the fire warehouse. When he was alive, he only opened the "vault" on the finger of his left hand, and he had an inexhaustible supply of gold. There is conclusive evidence that his disciples still possess fourteen gold mines on the southern side of the Himalayas, with extremely thick gold veins capable of mining for at least five hundred years.

There are too many metaphysicians in the world who covet the secrets on his other eleven fingers, and even if he owns only one of them, his life will never be the same.

"This is your relationship with your guru." Sun Moon Niang said.

"I'm willing to work hard to discover the secrets of the rest of the knots." I say it from the bottom of my heart.

I have no interest in the treasure itself, but these things should not be lost to history forever, they should be unearthed, carry on the legacy of the Guru, and continue to benefit ordinary people.

"If you join us, you'll have a lot of time to study the art of knotting, and you'll be able to do it for years or decades, and you'll eventually be able to achieve great success." Sun Moon Niang said.

I shook my head, "It doesn't have to be that much time and effort to waste – how long did it take me to untie the knot?" ”

In my consciousness, I was fully immersed in the knot for about a minute to three minutes, not any longer.

"Four hours." Sun Moon Niang replied slowly.

I suddenly felt a huge amount of pressure, I didn't feel strained just now, but the clothes on my back were soaked. If I did it with all my might, it might really take days, weeks, months to get results, and the damage done to my own body would never be small.

"It's not an easy task, otherwise, everyone can do it, and there would be no point in knotting the rope." Sun Moon Niang said.

"Four hours." I smiled wryly, "I thought it was only a few minutes, and it looks like the average person will spend a lifetime even if they just want to untie a knot in a rope." ”

Sun Yueniang nodded: "That's true, that's already the most optimistic situation." There are too many cultivators in the world who are facing the wall and cannot solve a problem in their lifetime, and can only die of despair when their brains are exhausted. From ancient times to the present, there are many people facing the wall like a carp crossing the river, and the only one who succeeds, Bodhidharma alone. The rest of the people have the false name of the wall, but they have no fruit of the wall. ”

With the identity and achievements of Sun Moon Niang, it is natural to comment on those who face the wall in ancient and modern times. Moreover, she is telling the truth, except for Bodhidharma, there are few people who have achieved great achievements in the Central Plains, and most of them are nameless and silent.

"I'm willing to try again." I say.

"Okay, I'll protect the Dharma for you." Sun Moon Niang nodded happily.

Together, we looked at the largest knot on the rope.

"I've tried to decipher it, and I have some vague understanding, do I need to-"

I shook my head to interrupt Sun Moon Niang to avoid any preconceived drawbacks. The knot is silent, and the wisdom is different. What she felt wasn't necessarily good for me, it was just distracting.

"Well, if there are any signs of danger in the process of reading, give up immediately." Sun Moon Niang advised.

I nodded, and my hands held the big rope in my palms.

The knot does not have any temperature, like a cold stone.

I can't describe exactly how I felt, but roughly speaking, the knot was so heavy that I didn't have the confidence to untie it, and as soon as I made contact, I had the idea of quitting.

"The tiger gnaws at the sky, and there is nowhere to go" is my current thought, and I barely supported it for a while, and I felt irritable and restless in my heart, so I could only let go and give up.

"Half an hour." Sun Moon Niang immediately reported the time.

"Half an hour? In my senses, it was only five seconds. "I was shocked again.

"Last time, it took me seventeen days to unravel the secret of this knot, but I could only find one clue, and that was the 'passage' – there are various passages in the world, each going to different places. Find the right channel and get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise you will hit a wall everywhere and achieve nothing. The path to success is not open all the time, but is open or closed, light or dark, depending on how the practitioner chooses. Choose the right one, one step to the sky; If you choose the wrong one, you will never recover. Sun Moon Niang said.

From the outside, the knot consists of six parts, namely the positive knot, the reverse knot, the child and mother knot, the mandarin duck knot, and the bow knot, and finally use a handle knot to connect the top five knots.

If you look closely, you can see that the first five knots are mixed with long hair, and there is a clear difference in the color and thickness of the long hair, that is, it is the hair that belongs to the five people.

"The histories of five people are strung together – tangled with each other and cannot be separated. If this is the case, the relationship between the knotster and these five people is also inextricable, and it will be simply connected at the end. If we trace the history of Tibetan Buddhism, we can find five people or five things that correspond to this relationship...... "When I don't touch the knot, I can think for myself and find some clues that seem to be valuable."

The official history of the Central Plains also contains some records of remote ethnic minorities, but the perspective of historians is often "the great power of the Celestial Empire overlooking the small people in the frontier", and when he writes, there are too many derogatory meanings and too little praise. On the contrary, the records of ethnic minorities in foreign histories and travelogues are fair and detailed, and have practical reference value.

"I've got an idea, I can try again." I say.

Sun Yueniang nodded: "Okay, don't be too reluctant, so as not to damage your body and mind." ”

Her eyes were very indifferent, and she probably didn't have much confidence in my second attempt.

I gently stroked the knot, feeling the subtle changes between the different little knots. When I turned the knot over and looked at it, I realized that it was not made up of six ropes, but sixteen. With the exception of the last handle knot, the remaining five knots are made up of three smaller knots.

"I see, the big knot is set in the middle knot, and the middle knot is set in the small knot, which is equivalent to a chain of large and small things, and untying the knot is the first step." I finally got it.

I read each of the knots and immediately came to conclusions. The meaning of these three knots is roughly like this - "The fool moves the mountain, the mountain moves, and the man dies." Yu Gong does not understand the meaning of the existence of the mountain, which is a barrier against bad luck in the wind. After moving away from the mountain, the bad luck came through the air by the 'Ten Arrows in the Wind', and the foolish man was powerless to resist, and all the family members died overnight. ”

Everyone understands the story of "Yu Gong Moves Mountains", but in the end, it is only said that Yu Gong moved the heavens, and the Emperor of Heaven sent the gods to the lower realm and removed the two mountains. After that, there was no record again, and the Yugong family was annihilated in history.

From the knot, I understood the tragic experience of Yugong's family, but I didn't understand the meaning of the knotster's words.

In the counter-knot, the same three summaries also express one thing, that is, the story of "Ye Gong is a good dragon". Ye Gong only likes the fake dragon entrenched on the pillar, and as soon as the real dragon arrives, the sky collapses, which scares him to death.

The world ridiculed Ye Gong's excessive hypocrisy, so there was the story of "Ye Gong is a good dragon".

The inspiration of this story to mankind is "don't be greedy for fame, don't be happy for great achievements", so what should we strive for in this colorful new world?

Yugong and Ye Gong are both dead, one died from the "pursuit" that went against the trend, and the other died from the "no request" that covered his ears and stole the bell. Neither path can be followed, whether it is radical pursuit or obscenity, and in the end they will send themselves to the guillotine of fate.

The positive knot and the reverse knot represent the two wrong paths, and of course, the countless people who have taken the wrong path in real history.

"Which path do I belong to? The former, of course – aggressive pursuit, tenacity, purpose-driven, and unyielding. Since Yu Gong is a wrong example, then if I continue to move forward, I will also follow in the footsteps of Yu Gong, right? "I can ask questions, but I can't answer them.

Of course, there are more people like Ye Gong in history, who are sanctimonious in appearance, humble as a valley, eager to seek talents, and tolerant and generous, but in fact they are scheming villains, living in extreme selfishness and narrow-mindedness.

On the whole, the latter live longer and gain more benefits than the former.

In the child-mother knot, I feel that there are many examples of "the child inherits the mother's position, and the mother factor is expensive". It's a pity that under that inheritance model, it often ends up with the tragic ending of the country's ruin, family and mother and child.

"Is that also wrong? Human beings are born with selfishness, and always say that 'fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders', and this selfishness also promotes the development of society...... If this is also wrong, it proves that the existence of the human mind is a great original sin, and it is not a pity to die. "I made up my mind for my son.
