Chapter 61: Patriarchal Succession Esoteric Mantras
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!
No political group has ever been disgusted with having too much power in their hands.
Therefore, it is natural that as the organization goes through the initial stage and shares the joys and sorrows of the entrepreneurial period, it is natural that the great secrets will split up at different times.
Tibet is located in the southwest of the Tibetan Plateau, covering an area of about 1.23 million square kilometers, and the Tibetan secrets that rule this land eventually split into five sects from within according to different doctrinal traditions.
Nyingma school, 'Nyingma' in Tibetan means 'ancient, old', mainly inheriting the old translations of the teachings such as Padmasambhava, because the monks of the faction wear red hats, so it is also commonly known as the 'red religion'!
Kadampa, 'Kadam' in Tibetan means 'to take the Buddha's teachings as the key to practice'.
The Sakya sect, 'Sakya' means 'white earth' in Tibetan, and its temple buildings are named after the gray-white earth. The walls of Sakya temples are often decorated with white, red, and blue stripes, so they are commonly known as 'flower sects'.
Kagyu school, 'Kagyu' in Tibetan means 'word of mouth', so the secret recipe of this school is as its name suggests, and because the first ancestors of Kagyu were all white dress walkers, it is also called 'white religion'.
Gelugpa, which means 'good law' in Tibetan, is known for its strict precepts. The monks of the Gelug sect all wear imperial hats, so they are commonly known as the Yellow Sect.
However, of the five sects mentioned above, the Kadam school was gradually replaced by the Kagyu school, the Yellow School, which developed on the basis of its teachings around 1500 AD.
The monasteries and secular areas that originally belonged to the Kadampa sect were completely replaced by the Yellow Sect (Gelugpa), and eventually the Kadampa sect disappeared into the passage of time.
For Tibetans in this era, Kadam is already a part of history that was eliminated by history 400 years ago, but there are always some fanatical followers who can successfully survive in the world.
You know, the Kadam school is the earliest sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
Since Atisha entered Tibet, he began to vigorously rectify the original Buddhism, systematize the teachings, and standardize the practice, so this sect has a great influence on other schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
For example, the first patriarch of the Kagyu (White Sect) Marpa was taught from Atisha;
Tabraje, the founder of the Tabu Kagyu school, his disciples Dusong Chenpa and Pamu Drukpa, his second disciples Zhigongpa and Da Yuan Tangpa, and the four ancestors of the Sakya school, Saban, and others, all learned from the Kadam school.
The accumulation of the Kadampa tradition over the centuries in the world, even if its successor, the Gelugpa, commonly known as the Yellow Sect, began from within the sect and continued to take advantage of the worldly advantages to transform the reincarnated Kadampa monks and then accumulate them little by little.
However, there are still a small number of die-hard elements who have been preserved as the remnants of history under the secret and continuous interference of the Nyingma (Red Sect), Kagyu (White Sect), Sakya (Flower Sect) and other sects that do not want to sit idly by and continue to grow bigger.
It's a pity, even so!
After the complete loss of control over the world, the demise of the Kadampa sect became inevitable.
After all, tantric practice is about the continuous accumulation in the cycle of reincarnation, so even if the Red Sect, the White Sect and the Flower Sect are constantly obstructing the inheritance of the Yellow Sect to Kadam, on the basis of all the general trends, it is only interference at best!
Today, it has gradually been completely forgotten by the Tibetan secrets, and the only Kadampa that survives in the historical records is the last one, the living Buddha with the cultivation of the 10th reincarnation!
The Kadam School, which takes the Buddha's teachings as the key to practice, is the Tibetan Esoteric sect that is closest to the understanding of Buddhism and religion among the Han residents of the Central Plains!
During the two hundred years from the 11th to the 12th centuries, the Kadam school was supported by the local secular vision, and then developed greatly and rapidly, and among the various schools of Tibetan Buddhism, it was known for its large number of monks and vast monasteries.
In the middle of the thirteenth century, the Kadampa sect reached its peak in Tibet and further combined with local powers to form a larger group of monasteries.
Even so, the Kadam traditions, who follow the teachings of the Buddha, have always sought to gain local power, and even opposed the later Sakya monks to power!
Such a great cause of opposing the unity of Tibetan Tantric politics and 'religion' may be the biggest reason why this sect has been silently evolved from within!
Most of the elders of the Kadam sect who are well-versed in the situation have already passed away in bliss or lost in samsara.
As the last living Buddha of the Kadam lineage, he had already heralded the end of the sect, and after he was enlightened by his guru, he naturally adopted the word 'Kadam' as his name in the land of Tibet.
The last Kadam, who has a small sphere of influence, still has all the rights that he should have as a living Buddha.
However, the Kadam King, who followed the Buddha's teachings and was powerless to deal with everything that violated the teachings in the vast Tibetan land, was to shelter the small number of popular believers in his sphere of influence.
The irreversible general trend, and the pushing hand in the dark, made King Kadam extremely helpless.
The supreme supernatural power of the tenth reincarnation is difficult to reach the destiny of heaven after all, and the Kadam Living Buddha can only helplessly, watching his own sect, so step by step to the end.
"Perhaps, all this is the will of the Buddha!"
The last Kadam Living Buddha said to himself.
Just when the Kadam Living Buddha was like this, ready to accept the arrangement of fate, in the guidance of the spiritual thoughts in the dark, there was a very sudden and subtle variable.
The Divine Eye of Shangri-La, which had been lost for thousands of years, returned to the vast snow-capped mountains of the plateau before the end of the Kadam Living Buddha was approaching.
Thousands of years ago, there were some mistakes in the secret contracts and prophecies between the Tibetan secret and the Middle-earth sects.
As the final climax of the end of the law, the First Emperor, who was called the ancestral dragon of the world, actually failed to descend on the place where the Shangri-La portal was located as prophesied thousands of years ago.
The unshakable fate of heaven and earth, in that inadvertent change, was changed by a certain existence in the underworld.
"This is an opportunity!"
Kadam Living Buddha said to himself.
"The Buddha will draw a final and satisfactory answer to the question in my heart!"
Gazing at the path of ten thousand Buddhas piled up by the spiritual bones of tens of thousands of Tibetan secret monks between the void and reality that was opened by the Shangri-La divine eye echoing the magic circle, which led to the Tibetan Buddha country, and was piled up between the void and reality, the end that was difficult to peep.
The Kadam Living Buddha took action resolutely!
As for Mu Yuchen, Guo Lin, O'Connor's family, and even the Red Sect, the White Sect, the Flower Sect, and the Yellow Sect, the other four Tibetan secret living Buddhas have been completely excluded from his field of vision.
"Hindering my way is for the devil!"
The obsession with the survival of the sect in his heart, before the only way to survive in a desperate situation, the Kadam Living Buddha who completely broke out, for the first time took the initiative to violate the Buddha's teachings, and the rolling snow waves erupted endlessly in the roar of the snowman he possessed.
"Alas! One thought is clinging, cultivation is completely ruined, pitiful and lamentable! ”
Seeing that in the heart of the Kadam Buddha General, the spearhead that had been condensed for many years and had nowhere to point was aimed at Mu Yuchen and the others, the three living Buddhas of the White Sect, the Red Sect and the Flower Sect, sighed silently.
Only the living Buddha of the Yellow Sect showed a smug smile.
"There is no more Kadang in the world!"
Slightly delayed by that step, the four living Buddhas of the Red Sect, the White Sect, the Flower Sect and the Yellow Sect were silent.
"Shangri-La Eye, it's time to return to its rightful owner!"
The four Dharma Kings who possessed the Dharma Protector Snowman instantly intersected with the spiritual thoughts in each other's eyes, and they were unified.
Four living Buddhas of the Tibetan Esoteric sect and one living Buddha of the last Tibetan Esoteric religion!
Adding up to nearly fifty times of reincarnation cultivation, in such an era when the Dharma-ending catastrophe and all the saints cannot be found, there is no doubt that it is almost invincible to the power of the world!
If it weren't for the Tibetan Esoteric Pure Land Shangri-La, which overlapped with each other's dimensions in Tibet, Tantra itself would not have been able to maintain such a level of high-end combat power in this world!
After all, even at the peak of Tibetan secrets, there were only about 100 living Buddhas in Tibet's large and small temples with orderly inheritance!
Even if the five Buddhas live with each other and have reservations about each other's guard, but with the help of the Dharma Protector Snowman, which is far beyond the physique of the human race, and the natural supernatural power that is not inferior to the secret transmission of Tibet, the magic power between the five people has already surpassed the limit of any one person!
In Mu Yuchen's Nine Heavens True Water Technique, the waves were cracked in one way, and the snowman talent Dao method was superimposed and aggregated, and after the glacier burst formed, the five Tibetan Dharmas who didn't care much about its existence at first finally realized that this time they kicked on the iron plate.
In the face of Mu Yuchen, whose strength is definitely not 'inferior' to any of his own side and vaguely 'slightly' beyond the first line, the four living Buddhas of the great cause of the Tibetan secret family hesitated secretly.
Inexplicably provoking such an unknown enemy is by no means the practice of any leader.
This is not so-called cowardice or hesitation, but because politicians are always closer to weighing the pros and cons from the perspective of interests.
However, the Kadam Living Buddha, who has lost his family possessions, does not need to think about it so much at all.
Faced with the only chance in front of him, Kadam had no choice but to make the last fight before the end of his life!
However, Mu Yuchen's counterattack action was in a rapid connection, and he took the lead in completely suppressing Kadang, who was almost fighting alone at this moment.
The water dragon, which almost filled most of the sky, had a crystal clear texture and an unstoppable momentum like a rainbow, falling from the sky smartly and mightily.
As you can see, the Kadam Living Buddha, who is standing at the top, is under complete siege.
The wild dragon wrapped in the power of heaven and earth, the dragon power is unstoppable, pouring out that flawless power and beauty.
The incomparable pride in the high roar made Kadang, the possessed Dharma Protector Snowman, feel an inexplicable tremor in the blood of the former.
That is the fear of the strong engraved in the bloodline factor of the snowman demon under the absolute perception of the life level.
The irrepressible trembling of the snowman's body made Kadam feel an inexplicable humiliation in his dignity as an incarnation of the Buddha.
Mu Yuchen's consciousness that was reversed by the river dance, the consciousness of the heavenly dragon god and the sympathetic qi, projected the gaze full of contempt and looked down in the air.
"Weak chicken! Let's fight! ”
Mu Yuchen, who was about to say such words, Xuan Zhi and his mouth, used his eyes instead of his mouth, so provocative.
With the accumulation of mental power in the reincarnation of the tenth lifetime, for the living Buddhas who have experienced the world, such a provocation is as uncompelled as children spitting on each other!
For the Buddhists who believe in self-reliance, this kind of provocation of almost zero eggs is unlikely to be effective at all.
However, Kadam is an exception!
In the continuous decline of the sect, reincarnation was reincarnated several times, and finally silenced as the last generation, or even the last living Buddha!
I saw hope in despair, but I fell into despair again!
He has little contact with worldly things, and he has grown and nurtured in the hands of monks!
Born noble!
As well as the four Tibetan sects in the growth of Kadam, they are constantly passively transforming their personality consciousness!
Still following the most traditional Kadam teachings, the Living Buddha himself does not seem to realize that he is used to being worshipped, to the natural awe, to being in a high position .......
After the Kadam sect completely lost its secular roots, the search, education, and empowerment of the Kadampa Buddha's living spirit children were taken over by the Red Sect, the White Sect, and the Flower Sect!
In order to delay the excessive expansion of the Yellow Sect, the Red Sect, the White Sect and the Flower Sect still maintain the most basic doctrine of Kadam.
However, the teachers who teach these teachings are all from these three schools.
As a result, in the accumulation of subtle changes, the last Kadam Living Buddha has unconsciously and completely accepted the status quo of the integration of politics and religion and the worship of Buddha by the whole family under the current system of Tibet!
In the midst of the imperceptible erosion and transformation, the Kadam Living Buddha, who is also a vested interest, has long since stood on the periphery of completely abandoning the teachings he adheres to.
Perhaps, in Kadam's eyes, the failure of the sect stemmed from the Buddha's decision in the dark.
However, Kadam overlooked the fact that it was the Kadam sect itself that really evolved the sect.
Even Kadam himself, who was only given a slightly better treatment to the Tibetan serfs in his area who supported the temple, had essentially given up on following the original "Buddha's teachings" of the sect!
Kadam's state of mind has been compromised!
Having lost the original consciousness of transforming the world into the Pure Land of Buddhahood, all that remains of Kadam is the powerless, self-pitying anger towards the world and the self.
As a result, the Dharma appearance, which once bloomed with great brilliance and immeasurable light under the Buddha's teachings, has now been replaced by the vajra-like wrath of the Dharma Protector.
A roar of rage like thunder vibrated from the mouth of Kadam's vajra like the roar of a ferocious beast.
"Buzz!"
The monstrous tantric mantra shook the heavens and the earth in this way. (To be continued.) )
