Gao Huaiyuan didn't know much about Tubo in his previous life, but in this life, he had to go around to collect all kinds of things about Tubo. Gongga Gyaltsen (Qingxi Building) is one of the famous "Sakya Five Patriarchs". In ancient India www.biquge.info a person who has attained the "Five Mings" (i.e., Declaration, Gongqiaoming, Medicine, Cause, and Neiming) was called "Panditha", which means "scholar". Saban means Sakya scholar, and he is the first person in the history of Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet to receive this honor...

Saban was not only intellectual, but also knowledgeable and diligent. Saban received the "novice ordination" from his uncle at a young age, and after becoming a monk, he changed his name to "Gongga Gyaltsen". The gifted Saban began preaching the Scriptures at the age of nine. At the age of eighteen, he studied the Abhidharma Kusha Treatise written by his family. At the age of twenty-three, he studied the seven treatises on "Cause and Clarity" such as the Treatise on Quantification and Interpretation, as well as the Treatise on the Solemnity of Present Views, "correctly realizing the essence of the teachings and teachings of the sutras, such as the Declaration, Cause, Rhetoric, Rhyme, Modification of Words, Tantra, Prajnaparamita, Discourse, Vinaya, etc., and to gain the fearless eloquence of all Tibetans and the compassion of the three gods, ghosts, and people." With proper learning methods, high talent, and diligence, Saban's learning path was smooth and accessible, and he soon became a scholar who was well-versed in the Five Wisdoms and was well-known in the Tibetan and Indian Buddhist circles. The History of the Sakya Lineage, when recording Saban's study experience, says that he relied on the great monks and learned all knowledge; Advance in the face of difficulties, integrate and comprehend, and achieve a state of perfection and mastery. . . Summing up his learning experience, Saban said: "The reason why I am proficient in the five clarities of cause and clarity, as well as the five great treatises and tantras such as Prajna and Kusha, and why people and gods are revered together, and why many powerful people such as the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty also seek the Dharma from me and respect me, is because I regard my teacher as a Buddha and practice the Dharma as a practice." Saban had never been to India, but because of his superior academic attainments, his famous words were hung on the door of the Nalanda Temple, a famous Buddhist temple in India.

Saban is also a very confident scholar with a strong personality ... He once claimed to be proficient in sound theory and could be described as a teacher; Proficient in rhyme, clear in poetry; The rhetoric is unmatched; Knowing inside and outside, wisdom is incomparable. 8.n "All these things are the people of Sakya, and the rest of the scholars are no more than my shadows." Such a conceited self-evaluation also attracted him to a number of challengers, one of whom was a layman named Tsoje Kawa, who came to Jizhi (present-day Jilong County, Tibet) to debate with Saban. It was agreed that the losing side of the debate would convert to the other party's denomination. As a result, Saban lived up to his expectations and won the debate... As agreed, Tsoje Gawa took refuge in the Dharma and became a disciple of Sakya Panditta. Saban not only preserved but also promoted Tibetan Buddhism.

Saban is diligent in writing, and his writings are equal to others, and there is no shortage of pioneering works. Declarative treatises such as "The Theory of Entering the Voice", Enlightenment such as "The Treasure of Righteousness", Buddhism such as "Shakyamuni Zan", "Treatise on the Three Laws and Rituals", etc. Sakya Aphorisms written by Saban is the pioneering work of Tibetan aphorisms, which is rich in philosophy and popularity, and enjoys a lofty position in the history of the Tibetan people.

This time, after he met Zhou Cong'an sent by the Southern Song Dynasty, he talked with Zhou Cong'an about the entry of Tibet into the Song Dynasty, and after getting Zhou Cong'an's affirmation, Saban finally agreed, and followed them back to the Song Realm to negotiate the matter with the Southern Song Dynasty in detail. He came this time to see whether the opinions of the high-level leaders of the Southern Song Dynasty were sincere, and second, to see whether the Southern Song Dynasty had the strength to protect their Tibet.

After all, the Southern Song Dynasty has been weak for a hundred years, and was first beaten by the Jin people to run to the south of the Yangtze River and shrink into the south of the Yangtze River and unable to recover the Central Plains in the north, and the Mongols have risen in the grasslands over the years, and even the Jurchens, who were known as fierce before, have not been able to raise their heads, and recently destroyed the martial Western Xia Kingdom, so he did not dare to easily agree to the request of the Southern Song Dynasty, and took Tubo to merge into the Southern Song Dynasty, so as not to cause Tubo to incur the ** retaliation of the Mongolian army once he looked away...

But after coming along the way, Saban has already made up his mind, because the Li Ruohu who escorted him is young, but he is quite brave and good at fighting, and the accompanying 10,000 Song troops are forbidden by order, military discipline is very strict, and they are all very brave, so that many unfriendly Tubo people along the way will immediately flee when they hear the news, which makes Saban begin to believe that the current Southern Song Dynasty is no longer the Southern Song Dynasty of the past, and their army is becoming stronger, otherwise, They would not have asked them so confidently to return to the Southern Song Dynasty...

And this time, when he entered the Song realm, he saw that the people in Sichuan lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everywhere they passed was extremely prosperous, compared to their Tubo territory, it could be called heaven, which also made Saban deeply touched, and couldn't help but sway...

Especially when he saw Gao Huaiyuan, the left minister of the Southern Song Dynasty and the privy envoy of the Privy Council, who made a special trip to Lizhou to meet him, Saban couldn't help but be even more surprised, he didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan, a powerful official of the Southern Song Dynasty, to be so young, and he was also very respectful, without the slightest support, so he immediately had a good impression of Gao Huaiyuan, plus Zhou Cong'an and Li Ruohu's praise of Gao Huaiyuan, so that Saban was full of curiosity about Gao Huaiyuan, a legendary figure, after meeting, Seeing Gao Huaiyuan's tall figure and heroic face, he couldn't help but secretly praise him...

What's more, he saw that these Song troops who went out with Gao Huaiyuan to greet them were bright and energetic, and they were not as weak as they had in their impressions before, which also greatly shocked Saban and made him believe that the Song army was indeed very different from before.

After the two sides met, they were very polite, Gao Huaiyuan did not mention the entry of Tibet into the Song Dynasty at all, but very devoutly asked Saban for advice on Buddhism, seemed very respectful, and took Saban to the temple being built for him to have a look, asked Saban to give the name of this temple, and put forward his dissatisfied opinions.

Saban looked at this monastery of unprecedented scale, and then believed that this time the Southern Song Dynasty sincerely wanted to return to the Southern Song Dynasty.

So he immediately named this temple as the Illusion Temple, and announced that he would temporarily live in the Illusion Temple, and Gao Huaiyuan immediately agreed that Saban could preach their Buddhism in the Song Realm, and the first meeting between the two sides could be said to be a great joy.

But Gao Huaiyuan did not immediately talk to Saban about the entry of Tibet into the Song Dynasty, which made Saban also feel a little curious, but Saban was not an extraordinary person, he saw that Gao Huaiyuan and these Song officials did not mention this matter, and of course he did not mention this matter, so Saban and the others temporarily settled down in Lizhou City.
