On the sacred mountain of Bon, there is a Buddhist monastery that has appeared inexplicably, which is not surprising, and according to Basang, this is still an early Buddhist monastery.

But why is this temple abandoned, remembering the big hall we just entered, it was empty, could it be that the construction was stopped before it was completed?

We walked out the door and continued up the steps, the mountain became steeper and steeper, and with the snow covering, it was slippery and embarrassing.

The wind whistled in this empty canyon, and the position where we came out of the cave was on one side, because of the mountain shape and snow cover, we couldn't see it clearly, and now when we walked to the highest point of this temple, the building was basically in full view, I didn't expect this temple to be so grand, I don't know how many people participated in the construction of this place.

At this time, Ma Bai lifted his hat and gasped: "Second baby, do you see that this place is a little strange?" ”

I was sitting in a corner tidying up the snow on my clothes, when I heard Marber say it and asked, "What's so strange?" ”

Ma Bo said: "Come and see, is this place very similar to a place?" ”

I was a little surprised when I heard it, what else could this be like?

Ma Bai pointed to the mountain and said, "Do you remember Uncle Du Wang?" ”

I was shocked, stood up violently, and walked three steps and two steps to the position where Marber stood.

Ma Bai pointed to the mountain and said, "Look, is this the case with this mountain?" ”

After Ma Baiyi's reminder, I have completely connected this place with the valley where my uncle and their family have lived for many years, and this place is indeed the same crater, but this crater is not as big as the crater in Kang, and of course it may be a difference in perspective formed by complete snow cover.

Because what we spoke was the local dialect of our Wuling Mountains, Baynt and Basang and others naturally didn't understand it, they only felt that our faces were different, but somehow.

We also saw them looking at us, and we definitely didn't want to reveal more information to them until the truth of the matter was clear, so I smiled and changed to official words and explained, "Oh... We just said, shouldn't there be a relatively large passage to the outside, such a big project, these stones and timbers can't be transported from the cave! ”

After listening to my words, Basang nodded thoughtfully and said: "It is not difficult to make stones, it is built from local materials, and the wood in this area of Ali is very scarce, and it is estimated that the large wood must be obtained from the westernmost part of the outer elephant Xiong." ”

I don't know where this big and small Bolu is, but listening to Basan's tone, it must be far away.

Goodmanderson said: "This bitter cold place has suffered these craftsmen. ”

Baynt said: "The ancient Chinese are quite a wise people, you see the Forbidden City in the past that we went to Beiping, those large stones, many of them weigh hundreds of tons, these stones are collected by stonemasons in a very far mountain, usually it is extremely difficult to transport them manually, but the smart craftsmen use spring and autumn quarrying, transport in winter, splash water on the road and freeze into ice, mules pull large stones on the ice. Walk a little way, splash a little water, and so little by little it will be transported to the capital. ”

This Baiente is worthy of being a China expert, we have heard of these things for the first time, I used to hear my grandfather talk about them, what is the Forbidden City, Lafayette, Guangxu Emperor, but the history of the construction of the Forbidden City, but no one has ever told me about it.

"Then why is there a monastery here all of a sudden?" ”

Basan was silent for a long time, and said, "I don't know this very well, but I suddenly remembered a story I heard many years ago from a singer who was ordained by God. ”

Pasang sat down and continued, "That was when I was younger, and I was still a newly promoted lama from Glo Lama to Halpa, oh, the equivalent of a third-order lama. ”

I don't know about this Baint, but I heard the iron rod Lama Lobsang Tedrup tell me, we are all used to calling Tibetan monks lamas, but I don't know that lamas are also divided into many levels, just like Lobsang Tenzup once said, from the first entry into Buddhism Gechu to the reincarnation of the living Buddha, there are nine levels in it, like Lobsang Tenzup, it is called Gegu, and it has reached the fifth level.

But I don't know why, what happened to this Pasang, and now he is dressed as an ordinary Tibetan, not a monk.

Pasang continued: "At that time I took refuge in our most famous local lama, my worldly teacher, who guaranteed me to go to Kham Village and study Buddhism at Sera Monastery, and at that time I was penniless and had no money to give alms of tea and rice, so I had to work as an errand boy or do some carpentry work, cleaning, making clothes, all kinds of chores to earn a little living expenses.

It was also a coincidence, that day the temple needed to send a batch of scriptures to the Zitang Changzhu Temple in Shannan, this Zitang is located in a remote area, and the average person did not want to go, and finally we had to draw lots to go, but I didn't expect that I won in the end, so I had to go to Changzhu Temple alone with the scriptures.

I slept on the road for more than ten days, has been close to Zitang, that night, to a lake, I decided to camp here to rest, I just finished camping, before I had time to eat something, but I heard a bell sound from the lake, only to see a white horse from the dark blue night in the distance, white horse sat an old man with a zha nian qin on his back.

The night on the grassland was lonely and lonely, so I shouted loudly and greeted the old man to my campfire, and after talking, I learned that the old man was a singer who was about to go to Shigatse.

As you know, the poets who can know the ancient deeds of Tibet are all God-given, and Gai does not recognize the form of father-to-son, teacher-to-apprentice, and some people who have suffered a serious illness suddenly become able to sing millions of words of psalms.

After eating, I said that I would be bored at night anyway, and that your old man would sing me about the ancient times.

The old man agreed with a smile, so he sang a story about King Gesar, but we have all heard the story of King Gesar many times, and we basically remember it.

The old man thought for a moment and replied that there is indeed a passage that no one has heard much, and I will sing it to you. ”

Basang paused and said, "This old man is telling this story, which is indeed strange, and it is the first time I have heard such a thing.

This story takes place during the Tibetan period, and you all know that Shannan Sanye is one of the locations of the Tibetan Zangpu Tooth Tent, where Zanpu Trisong Detsen was born.

Trisong Detsen has been in power for more than 40 years, and the power of Tibet has been at its peak. In order to consolidate his power, Tri Song Detsen ordered the construction of Samye Monastery. In order to observe whether the Tibetan people could keep the ordination vows, Tri Song Detsen also selected three elders, three young and one strong among the nobles, a total of seven people, under the guidance of the Buddha Guru and the Indian monks.

These seven people were later called the "Seven Enlightened Scholars" by us Tibetans. It is not surprising that Tibetans know this history well. But what the old man sang next was unexpected.

One of the Seven Enlightened Scholars was a monk named Kunlu Wangpo, who was also the youngest of the Seven Enlightened Scholars, and this matter had to start with him.

This Kunlu Wangpo was the descendant of the sheep and nobles of this Ali, and this person used to be a mantra master of the Yongzhong Bon sect, and later after the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Zhangxiong, he surrendered to Tibet.

This year the steppes were hit by a terrible plague, worse than ever, and many people died. The dying herdsmen had no choice but to kneel on the ground and pray to the heavens, hoping to be blessed by heaven.

So the guru sent Kunru Wangpo to the grasslands to investigate the plague. After nine days of visiting, Kunlu Wangbo finally learned that all this was related to the nine sons and ghost mothers in the snow-capped mountains.

This nine-son ghost mother is the legendary mother of all ghosts, who can give birth to ghosts in heaven and earth, and give birth to nine ghosts every day. She was born in the morning, and in the evening she ate her sons as snacks, so she was also called the Demon Mother, and the people were terrified when they heard her name.

In fact, the ghost mother will only eat the devils with insufficient congenital spiritual power to replenish the consumed primordial spirits, and stay strong to expand her power in the underworld.

For thousands of years, the ghost mother has not only eaten the devils herself, but also led nearly a million large and small ghosts, and firmly occupied a place in the underworld where countless evil ghosts are rampant.

Now that the ghost mother felt that her wings were full, she descended from the snow-capped mountains to the rich grasslands to expand her territory. ”
