Chapter 506: Good and Evil Grow and Fall
In folklore, Songtsen Gampo, Princess Wencheng, and Princess Qizun once joined forces to suppress the Rakshasa demon girl in the "Tibetan Demon Suppression Map", so that the Tibetan people lived a good life of living and working in peace and contentment, and the world was peaceful.
In fact, the Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo has made great contributions to the humanistic, political, religious, and agricultural development of Tibet.
For example, Songtsen Gampo sent people to Ceylon to invite the eleven-faced Guanyin statue of the snake heart Zhantan, and to the border between India and Nepal to invite the Guanyin statue of the Khali Zhantan (this image is still in the Potala Palace) as the object of offering and blessing; Marry a Nepalese princess and bring the statue of the Buddha of Immobility, the statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva, the statue of Tara, etc. (the statue of the Buddha is now offered in the Jokhang Temple, and the statue of Maitreya is now offered in the Jokhang Temple); After marrying Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, he brought the statue of Buddha Shakya (according to legend, it was cast by the Buddha when he was alive, and is now offered in the main hall of Jokhang Temple); He also made Nepalese statue craftsmen, according to Songtsam's own size, sculpt a statue of Guanyin (now in the north hall of Jokhang Temple).
In order to enshrine the statues of all saints and facilitate the people to repair and worship, with the permission of Songtsen Gampo, the Nepalese princess built the Jokhang Temple, the princess Wencheng built the Jokhang Temple, and built 12 temples such as the Jiasha in various important places around Lhasa. In addition, many dojos were built. There are many holy statues offered in each temple, including Shakya, Maitreya, Guanyin, Tara, Buddha Mother, Buddha Mother, Buddha Mother of Light, Miaoyin Heavenly Maiden, Horse Head Vajra, Manna Ming King, etc.
At that time, the translators of the classics were the Han people who had Da Tianshou, the Tibetans had Duanmei Sambodhi, Dharma Kuoxia, and Larang Vajraxiang, the Indians had Gusa Jak and Shang Kala, and the Nepalese had corpse romanshu and so on.
It can be said that the prosperity of Tibet was caused by Songtsen Gampo.
"Those distant histories are hidden among the blue lanterns and yellow scrolls, the ancient halls and the Buddhas, have you noticed it?" The man asked.
Lin Xuan looked around at the Buddha statues in this hall, and between the light and shadow, they seemed to be alive, and they seemed to be still, as if they had descended to the mortal world, and as if they were still high in the heavenly court.
"Aware or unaware, they're all there, aren't they?" Lin Xuan said.
"Yes, they're all there, and you're right. Why are they all here today? It's because they have a reason to exist. First, the worship and offerings, prayers and prayers of the world make them unbearable to turn away, to turn a blind eye, to pretend to know nothing. Second, every god and Buddha has a communicator of the soul in the human world, and when these communicators are trekking and preaching, their thoughts will spread across the earth, influencing the world, and devotionally to the Buddha. The man replied.
The man pointed into the distance, and the three Buddha statues were close together.
Lin Xuan didn't ask much, just by association, he knew what the three Buddha statues represented.
"You know, what is hidden?" The man asked.
Lin Xuan nodded.
He didn't want to dwell on its history, heritage, and current situation, because it was a very superficial defining issue and was not worth going into detail.
"So you know what the meaning of existence is hidden?" The man asked again.
Lin Xuan immediately replied: "The reason why Fuzang exists is to allow many marriages and rituals that have been broken off to continue. Wars, distancies, famines, diseases, coups d'Γ©tat, and other unexpected events interrupted the historical record, and some things were forced to hide in the minds of the hidden masters, firmly guarded, and not missing, until the peaceful and prosperous times were taken out again, so that the light of the Dharma could shine again on the snowy plateau. β
"That's a good point." The man replied appreciatively.
They were talking face to face, when suddenly a tall Buddha statue swayed towards them.
"That's the black protector deity, the auspicious heavenly mother, and all schools of Tibetan Buddhism use it as their protector deity. Because of the profundity of mana, and there are many forms of power and charity, there are also many names, such as: Maggie, Three Realms Victory Mother, Maggie, Desire Realm Master Mother, Hundred Mothers, Thousand Mothers, etc. The original Tibetan land mainly worships its mighty auspicious retreat mother as the protector god, and the auspicious heavenly mother statue and the cow hair dharma building on which it is relied on are all blue black, so it is called the black protector god. The man introduced to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan nodded: "When I was in the Ali region, I had seen the majestic power of the Black Protector God. β
After the black protector deity, another Buddha statue passed by.
Lin Xuan saw that it should be the image of the Third Buddha. The Tibetan name for the Three Buddhas is "Duisong Sangyal", which refers to the Buddhas of the past, present, and future. The Buddha of the past refers to the six Buddhas of the past, such as the Buddha of the past, and the statues are generally represented by the Buddha of the Buddha (Buddha of the Burning Lamp), the present Buddha refers to the Buddha Shakyamuni, and the future Buddha refers to the Buddha Maitreya.
The Buddha of the Burning Lamp is the Buddha of the Ka Ye, called "Mar Meizai" in Tibetan, and is the past Buddha of the so-called three Buddhas of Buddhism. In the past, he was the sixth Buddha. It is said that when this Buddha was born, everything around him was as bright as a lamp, hence the name. Legend has it that Shakyamuni was a teacher in his previous life, and his statue often rides a lion.
Lin Xuan had a special memory of the Burning Lamp Buddha, so when he saw the appearance of the statue and the way he walked, he immediately understood who it was.
After that, there were five Buddha statues that came into Lin Xuan's eyes, which should be the legendary five fairies of Everest. In Tibetan, it is called "Tsering Chea", which means five sisters of longevity.
Tibetan mythology and legend has it that on Mount Everest in the Himalayas, there are five fairies of longevity, named Zaxi Tseringma (Xiangshou Fairy), Tinghe Xiesangma (Cuiyan Fairy), Miyao Luo Sangma (Zhenhui Fairy), Dubanzhen Sangma (Guanyong Fairy) and Daigar Zhuo Sangma (Shiren Fairy). They are in turn the gods of longevity, prophets, farmland, treasure and livestock, among which the Cuiyan Fairy is the main god of Mount Everest, so the peak is also called "Cuifei Snow Peak" (Tibetan called Gangtong Ting Caimo), the first of the five fairies. It is said that these five fairies are also the five goddesses of Dharma protectors worshipped by the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism (Baijiao).
"Good and evil always appear at the same time, and where there is good, there is evil, and where there is evil, there is good. So, you know what? In contrast to the emergence of the 'good' of the hidden master, where should the corresponding 'evil' be manifested? The man asked again.
Lin Xuan really didn't think about this problem, because all the cultural classics and folklore in Tibet had never appeared in the relevant statements.
"I don't know." Lin Xuan shook his head.
"It's change and transformation." The man said.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment, and immediately followed the man's train of thought: "You mean that after the knowledge known by the hidden treasure master is discovered, it will cause a change in society and break the balance between good and evil?" So, in order to maintain the relative balance of the whole world, there will be a force of 'evil' to prevent the balance of victory and defeat from tilting in favor of the 'good', so that the 'good' will win by an overwhelming margin? β
The man sighed: "Very good, your reaction is quite fast, and the son can be taught." β
The art of balance is the most solid foundation for the existence of a dynasty, a society, and a group. Since ancient times, a peaceful and prosperous era has always reached an almost perfect balance, and various forces have eliminated each other's strengths, and there is nothing to do with each other after running in and learning from each other. Therefore, on the surface, the society will be stable.
In the minds of the common people, the most obvious example of the confrontation between good and evil is the battle between loyal and traitorous ministers in the court.
In every dynasty, if there are great loyal ministers, there will be great traitorous ministers, who will fight against each other and fight against each other. Otherwise, how could a great country like the Northern Song Dynasty be defeated by the iron cavalry of the Jin people? How could the Southern Song Dynasty flower world fall into the hands of the Mongols?
So, what kind of social imbalance has the emergence of the hidden treasure teacher caused?
