The fate of an ordinary peasant boy is shocking
In the winter of 1990, Tibet's deserted Nagqu County ushered in the arrival of a small life. The new father, Solang Dhaba, smiled with joy as he held his infant baby, and since the birth of his two sons, his life has become extremely full and happy.
Time flies, and the two boys grow up with contrasting personalities - the elder brother is lively and cheerful, kind and helpful; The younger brother is quiet and introverted, always looking thoughtful, not as active as ordinary children, which often makes Solang Dhaba, as a father, puzzled.
It wasn't until five years later that a group of strangers who claimed to be looking for a reincarnated spirit child came to their home, and an unexpected adventure crashed into this unusual child. It turned out that the year before he was born, the 10th Panchen Lama, one of the supreme leaders of Tibetan Buddhism, entered Nirvana; According to historical tradition, various eminent monks began to search for their reincarnation through predictions.
After layers of screening and assessment, this little boy finally passed all the tests and was inferred to be the true reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama! For a child who was born only five years old, this was undoubtedly an extremely unusual life experience, and it would also be the beginning of his break with this worldly family.
A wonderful fate that spans the past and present lives has begun.
He won the lot and became the 11th Panchen Lama
In the early winter of 1995, high-ranking living Buddhas and leaders of various mainstream sects in Tibet gathered in Lhasa to witness a major event that attracted worldwide attention: the ceremony of drawing lots in a golden vase confirming the reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama.
The scene was solemn, and everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of the sacred moment.
The reincarnated spirit child has settled. The inconspicuous 5-year-old boy who grew up in a remote mountain village actually passed the layers of assessment of the Buddhist lottery ceremony, and finally won the lottery to become a great reincarnation of the living Buddha.
According to the standard procedure of the ceremony, the senior monk immediately shaved the little boy and gave him the Dharma name "Panchen Erdeni", officially becoming the 11th Panchen Lama, a figure on the roof of Tibetan Buddhism.
An ordinary peasant boy who ascended to the position of the supreme leader of Tibetan Buddhism in full view of everyone, inheriting the sacred mission of upholding the teachings and benefiting sentient beings, was destined to say goodbye to this earthly family forever.
The four-year journey of Dharma propagation has been fruitful
After becoming the 11th Panchen Lama, he went from an ordinary 5-year-old boy to the supreme leader and spiritual teacher of Tibetan Buddhism. For a child who has just passed the full breastfeeding period, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge and pressure.
However, to everyone's admiration, this little boy was not carried away by power and status, but made a grand wish to promote Buddhism and benefit all sentient beings.
In 2000, at the age of 10, he officially began his four-year journey to spread the Dharma, which became the best opportunity to test his cultivation.
In the past four years, he has traveled all over famous temples such as Xiaozhao Temple and Wutai Mountain, and each time he preaches the Fa, he can attract thousands of believers to come and listen. This young living Buddha touched everyone with his concentration and eloquence beyond his actual age, and while transforming sentient beings, his self-cultivation also made progress.
Four years passed, and at the age of 14, he successfully passed all the tests and was finally qualified for the Sangha's highest vow-conferring ceremony. This symbolizes that his Dharma cultivation has been completed and he can take charge of his own affairs.
From a fledgling child to a great living Buddha who is now admired, the transformation and growth in the past 10 years have perfectly interpreted his prophecy and power as the reincarnation of the Panchen.
Promote the adaptation of the Buddhist community to social development
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the boy who stepped from an ordinary peasant family to Buddhism has grown up, and now he has long been recognized as a leader in Tibet and even in the entire Sino-Tibetan Buddhist community.
The 26 years of spring and autumn have added stability and courage to this post-90s living Buddha, who aims to promote Buddhism and let believers find spiritual sustenance in the chaotic red dust.
Under his push, the Buddhist community is also actively exploring new ideas and directions in line with the development of the times, the most notable of which is that he vigorously advocates the concept of "human Buddhism", that is, Buddhism should not stop at temples, but should be integrated into every corner of society, so that the general public can be purified physically and mentally in the world.
This young living Buddha is even more hands-on, actively paying attention to people's livelihood issues and launching a series of important charity activities. He paved the way for the construction of bridges in remote areas and raised funds for the education of children of poor families, and his good deeds were frequently reported in the newspapers, which coincided with the prophecies related to the past and present lives before he was born.
Today, this post-90s Panchen Lama is influencing and influencing more and more people with his actions.
Over-age concentration perfectly inherits the mantle of Buddhism
Looking back over the long history of more than 2,000 years, it is not difficult for us to find that the reincarnation of each Panchen Lama has been accompanied by various miracles and legends. However, the most incredible thing for the 11th Panchen Lama is that this boy from an ordinary peasant family took on the heavy responsibility of spreading Buddhism at the age of five.
It stands to reason that it is difficult for a child who has just learned the language to lead the cause of Buddhism. However, this special post-90s living Buddha perfectly interprets what reincarnation and inheritance are with his extraordinary concentration and wisdom.
26 years of spring and autumn training and Dharma propagation career have tempered an ordinary peasant boy into the mainstay of today's Buddhist community. He not only assumed the role of the political and religious leader of the Panchen Lama, but also actively paid attention to social issues and initiated charitable activities.
Whether it is in ambition or in deeds, words and deeds, this post-90s living Buddha perfectly meets his prophecy before reincarnation.
Today, this young monk from the grassroots has grown into a recognized leader in Tibetan and even Han Buddhism. With his actions, he is positively influencing and influencing more and more monks and lay believers.
