0676 Proclaim the Dharma into Tibet, worship the Buddha and get shelter

In fact, Li Tong is still a little curious, that is, why Sun Bo became a feminist country and maintained it for such a long time.

Sun Bo's sense of existence in this country is not strong, and even if it weren't for the curious elements of his daughter country, most of them would not be known to future generations. But in fact, Sun Bo has existed much longer than Tibet.

Originally, the three forces on the plateau, Tubo was the weakest and the shortest existing, and the reason why it was able to form a cohesive force was mainly because it borrowed from the Bon tradition of Zhangxiong, and was able to gain enough strength for external expansion, and also because it took advantage of the internal strife in Sunbo to accept a large number of Sunbo people. For example, the Gar family, which is now in power, and the Wei family, which will become a wealthy Shang family in the future, are all from Sun Bo's clan.

On this issue, although Ye Ali is the heir of Sun Bo Xiaowang, he also does not know much about this, and what he talks about is nothing more than some absurd myths and legends aimed at promoting the divine authority of kingship. Just like the tradition of killing their fathers in the early years of Tibet, those Zampu who were killed by their sons were glorified as the Seven Kings of Tianchi, representing the herdsmen of the heavens, and when the sons became adults, they were recalled by the heavens.

Although Sun Bo has existed for a longer time, he has not formed an independent culture of his own, nor has he inherited writing, and even traces of his existence have to be retrieved from the written records of the Central Plains Dynasty.

The only written regime on the plateau was Tibet, and the Tibetan government became the sole representative of the plateau regime for a time in later generations and even in later generations, which shows the importance of writing and cultural inheritance to an ethnic group and a regime.

According to Chinese historical records, Sun Bo is a Xiqiang species, or the indigenous people on the plateau may only be Zhangxiong, and even the source of Tubo may be a descendant of Xiqiang Miao.

During the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Qiang people and Xianbei people in the Hexi region, either failed in the struggle for hegemony or could not bear the disturbance of frequent wars, moved south to avoid disasters, and merged with the Qiang and Miao descendants on the plateau, forming the earliest twelve small states in Tibet. The Sita Yebu in the Yalong region of Shannan gradually grew stronger, becoming the leader of the twelve small states, and also became the future Tubo Zampu family.

Sun Bo lived south of the Green Mountains, had close exchanges with the Western Regions, and then gradually moved to the plateau area, and when his power was at its greatest, even the Luosa River, where the current Tubo royal city was located, was Sun Bo's old leader.

After understanding these origins, I have to say that Ye Ali, the newly crowned Chizun princess of Tubo Zampu, has a good background, her father is one of the ancient twelve small states on the plateau, and her maternal line is the Sun Bo royal family, which was once more powerful than Tubo. If you write a genealogical biography for it, you can directly cover the evolution history of the entire plateau for hundreds or even thousands of years.

This is one of the things that Li Tong will do next, he wants to tailor an epic biography of her family for the Tibetan princess, and strengthen it into a symbol and symbol of another cultural heritage on the plateau that is different from the Sitaye family.

If people have no past, they have no future, and if they don't know where they have been, they don't know what the past is. Don't think that the illiterate herdsmen on the plateau who only know how to handle yaks will not think about the philosophical proposition of who I am and where I come from. The self and self are the starting point for people to understand and accept the world.

Ye Ali thought that His Royal Highness King Yong summoned her today to discuss the practical problems of the territorial people in the Eastern Regions, or to gather scholars and organize armor to directly fight against the Tibetan regime in the local area, or to move the tribe inward and settle in the western Sichuan region to become a Tang Dynasty people.

As a result, she didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yong had no instructions for his land and people, and he actually wanted to compile a biography for his family.

Although she was shrewd and had a lot of plans, she couldn't figure out the meaning of doing this for a while, so she said: "Ye Li is grateful for His Royal Highness's kindness, but the origin of this clan is unknown, even the people of this tribe are vague, and outsiders are even more indifferent to this. Even if the spirit of the Tang Dynasty scholars, pen and ink materials, and the proposed volume are consumed, the people of Tibet are not educated, and they may not be able to accept this......"

"There is no need for the princess to worry about this. The princess was not of the wild blood, and because of the conspiracy, she was listed in her lineage, and it was only a temporary expediency. If you want to plan for the future, you need to correct your position, do not attach importance to others, proclaim righteousness to the people, and let people know that I serve me. Since the picture is popular with the public, it is natural that the biography cannot be dignified and elegant. ”

After Li Tong heard this, he said with a smile: "Later, I will order Xingtai to recruit officials who are familiar with the customs and customs of the Tibetan land and the desires of the people, and interview them in the palace to help the princess become this chapter." ”

Speaking of this, he asked again: "I wonder if the princess has heard and understood the Maitreya method taught by Shaman?" ”

Ye Ali shook his head after hearing this, and then said: "Shamen teaches people to be quiet, teaches people to be obedient, teaches people to look down on this life and look forward to the next life, this way of the powerful disciples, this despicable way to escape from the world. Ye Li has nothing to do with each other, and he has very little involvement here. ”

Hearing Ye Ali's view on the Shamanfa Chuan, Li Tong felt close to it, and a true pragmatist has always had an attitude of not being superstitious or unbelieving in the flow of religion. Only those who are incompetent or unworthy of virtue and integrity are obsessed with overbearing the destiny of heaven and seek self-liberation.

The former doesn't need to be said, the latter is superstitious about numerology, and the reason is very profound, more or less all of them are evil karma, if you don't strengthen your heart through some means, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night.

Li Tong asked this question, which was also based on the principle of not wasting it. In the days when his grandmother usurped Tang Luji, she made a lot of hard work in this regard, and even Li Tong himself helped a lot for it.

Now, the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha in the Tang Dynasty has been countered by himself and lives in seclusion in Shangyang Palace. Some of the previous classics of religious theories can only be dusted and dusted. But these classics are also a waste of a lot of manpower and material resources, and it would be a pity to completely abandon them.

Buddhism was introduced to the plateau since Songtsen Gampo, but it was in an awkward position for a long time after that, and it was not high enough on the plateau in terms of accessibility and pandering to the rulers.

This is also a very normal thing, and for any kind of religious Dharma transmission to develop and grow, it must have a suitable soil population for its growth. Nowadays, the source of Buddhism in the country of Tibet, one is naturally the Tang Dynasty Dharma transmission brought by Princess Wencheng into Tibet, and the other is the Dharma transmission directly imported from Nibra and Tianzhu.

The situation in these two places was very different from that of Tibet itself, and although the Fa Chuan entered the plateau, it faced a problem of adaptation to the water and soil, and it required a long period of theoretical revision before it could become popular in the world and gain the support of the rulers.

Just like in Middle-earth, there are many schools of Buddhism today, and even the rulers themselves don't know what to choose. Even the Zen Buddhism that became popular in later generations is divided into the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect, the Northern Sect Shenxiu Monk is still in Hubei, and the Southern Sect Huineng lives in Guangzhou, and has not yet been officially accepted by the ruler.

As for the elder brother Xuanzang monk, although he himself has a very high religious status and has been treated by two generations of emperors Taizong and Gaozong, the Faxiangzong he created has a little taste of death.

The Faxiang sect attaches great importance to the classics, and it can be said to be the most complete and advanced among all schools, so it is extremely difficult to get started, which causes the dilemma of teaching the Fa. I believe that Buddhism is nothing more than catching up with a trend and asking for comfort, and you still give me endless scriptures and homework to read, forget it, don't believe it!

In later generations, the Southern Sect of Zen Buddhism overwhelmed the Northern Sect, putting aside the differences in various scriptures and theories, for outsiders who do not seek to understand much, one of the key points is that the Northern Sect stresses hard practice and gradual enlightenment, while the Southern Sect talks about proving from the heart and having an epiphany in an instant.

The living are alive, who hasn't ordered the sage time, and suddenly sees the Buddha with a clear mind, thinking about it, it is still reasonable for Nanzong to say that the convenient method.

However, the second method of sitting meditation and penance held by the monk Shenxiu of the Northern Sect is not without contribution, that is, it has contributed to the promotion and spread of tea. How can you stand meditating for more than ten hours a day, without drinking some tea to refresh your mind?

At present, Buddhism is in an embarrassing situation on the plateau, and Li Tong plans to help and push part of the Maitreya Dharma into Tibet. The reason why he wanted to compile a biography for Ye Alixiu was to mix this part of the private goods into it, and to combine some ideas with the background of a long-standing clan in Tibet, which would naturally make the Tibetan people more familiar and more acceptable.

Of course, he won't shape this princess of the Tibetan Kingdom into the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, his grandmother is. Some of the concepts of heroines in the biography of Maitreya are worth learning from, such as Xue Huaiyi's "Dayun Sutra Yishu" compiled by order, and Li Tong's "Baoyu Sutra" dedicated to his grandmother, which can be used out of context.

The twists and turns of the bloody story are the most intriguing. Li Tong planned to shape this princess of the Fan Kingdom into a hard-working woman with a bad fate and persecution by everyone, refining it into gold, and finally becoming a lord.

If you want to say why this princess can succeed, it is because she is sincere in her worship of the Buddha, and every time she is in exile, she will cast a golden statue of Maitreya and bow day and night.

Therefore, the princess was blessed by Maitreya Buddha and became a Mary Sue physique, and even the king of the Tang Dynasty, who was thousands of miles away, heard about the deeds and reputation of this princess, and sent soldiers to support her, crying and shouting in the hope of being able to get the princess's care.

If the princess can be so successful, so can you Tibetan women.

It doesn't matter if you can't cast a golden statue, there are valuable things to make at home, in short, you must build a small Maitreya dojo, the male in the family will not die, but you can keep your family safe, and the male in the family will die, and you can also get the help of nobles, and you will not suffer from life and no dependence.

In short, the higher the specifications of this small dojo, the stronger the BUFF that can be applied to you, if you have money, you can add a few more layers, if you really want to achieve the specifications of a princess, the king of the Tang Dynasty also loves you.

When the epic biography of the princess of the Tibetan Kingdom was compiled, Li Tong planned to send skilled craftsmen to the eastern regions of Tibet, so that the princess could cooperate with the requisition and distribution of materials from the Eastern Regions, and build a grand and luxurious Buddhist temple and dojo in Kangyanchuan to give a sample to the Tibetan people.
