"Fang Xin Lesson" 3

Professor Fang Xin interrupted: "Wait, you said I understand that the thirty-third Zampu is the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo, the establishment of the Tubo Dynasty, the unification of The Tibetan areas, and the use of Buddhism to guide the Tibetan people to be good, but what does this have to do with the Purple Qilin you want to say?" ”

Zhuo Muqiangpa said, "No, no, I don't mean to talk about the history of Tibet, I am talking about a scripture, I am just translating the scripture into modern words and saying it, and the story of the Purple Qilin is also recorded in this scripture." ”

Fang Xin nodded and acquiesced.

Zhuo Muqiangpa then added: "In 641 AD in history, an earth-shattering thing happened in Tibetan areas, in January, Princess Chizun of Nepal entered Tibet and brought the most prestigious golden statue of Shakyamuni Shakyamuni at the age of eight, and in March, Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty entered Tibet and brought the same golden statue of Shakyamuni at the age of twelve. King Songtsen Gampo began to follow the Dharma, and since then Tibetan Buddhism has begun a new development..." Dromyungpa seems to be not very familiar with translation, and he has to stop and think about the previous paragraph.

Professor Fang Xin was a little anxious, and once again interrupted: "You don't need to say the translation, you can just say the original text of the scripture, I can understand the ancient Tibetan language and The Fuddy Tibetan language." I have studied the red, flower, white, yellow, and voldemorts of Tibetan buddhism. ”

Zhuo Muqiangba looked happy and said, "It turns out that the professor once studied Tibetan Buddhism, so I will say it directly." He began to speak in fluent Tibetan: "For a while, if you open the door of the Emperor's Palace, such as the gate of a high-rise building, and take out from it the four wonderful fruits that can be perfected at will, namely, Dharma, Wealth, Desire, and Liberation..."

Professor Fang Xin understood that the general meaning of this sutra was that Songtsen Gampo unified Tibetan areas, and after ending the war, he began to call on the whole people to believe in Buddhism, and it was for this reason that he married the princess of the birthplace of the Buddha and the princess of the Tang Dynasty of the powerful Dynasty who believed in the Buddha. Later, Songtsen Gampo greeted the Four Mysterious Dharmas, and he himself became the first Great Dharma King in Tibetan areas, sending four guards to the southernmost, northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost Tibetan borders, while preaching Buddhism to the four directions. At the same time, the four guardians have maintained a direct connection with the supreme Tibetan king, and every few years, the Tibetan kings will pass on their recorded Tibetan history to the four guardians, the purpose of which is to keep the four guardians far away in the border areas, if there is war or change of dynasties, so as to preserve mahayana Buddhism and Tibetan historical materials. And the ancestors of Zhuo Muqiangpa are one of the four guardians, they are guarding the southernmost Guwei, and this sutra is a complete Tibetan scripture preserved by their family.

Zhuo Muqiangpa said a long history of the source of the scriptures, but he did not look arrogant, always spoke slowly with a normal heart, and Professor Fang Xin understood that the purpose of his saying this was to convince himself of the authenticity of the scriptures. Finally, Zhuo Muqiangpa said lightly: "The Great Tibetan King Lang Damu, good hunting, like to chase the wolf wasteland, take the throne, declare the abolition of the Buddha, force the monks to take off their robes to hunt, destroy the Buddha's head, the Heavenly Dao is not tolerated." Gonghong spent five years hunting in Nanping, with ten mastiffs, five hundred cavalry, and three hundred crossbowmen. A hundred miles to the east, heavy rain, the auxiliary head of The Patriarch Bazong said that there are clouds in the east that are ominous and not suitable for walking, and the king does not listen, and continues to do. One by one sheep, horses step by step, walking on the mountain pass platform, deep forests and grass, war horses suddenly stopped, bowed their heads and hissed, grass and trees shook, and they didn't know what. Wang was frightened, ordered to release the mastiff, and unexpectedly, more than ten war mastiffs had their forelimbs bowed, their eyes were bright, their whips were not moving forward, they overheard the low gao, the mountains reverberated, and the war mastiffs rose up and reconciled. The warhorse galloped and hoofed, and the king landed on the ground, ordering the archer to release the arrows, and the archer was afraid and did not dare to pull the string. ”

When Professor Fang Xin heard this, he already had a lot of doubts in his heart, the Tibetan king Lang Damm, who was the last Tibetan king of Tibet, also known as Lang Dama, a Dharma, because of The excessive respect of Buddhism by Chizu Detsen, caused dissatisfaction among many subjects. They secretly instigated political movements to overthrow the regime and outlaw Buddhism. They first murdered the Minister of Religion, Po Shibu Beji Yongdan, then framed ZangMa, a close brother of Trizu Detsen, who believed in Buddhism, and finally murdered Zampu Trizu Dezan, and elected Randama, the brother of Trizu Detsen, who did not like Buddhism, to succeed Tubo Zampu. The legend of King Langdam has always been controversial, but it was mostly the assassination of the Buddhist tantric master LaromBeji Dorje, and the Tibetan area has been plunged into a century-long chaotic dispute. It is said that this Tibetan king disliked the Dharma the most, so how could he record his own affairs in the Buddhist scriptures? And the various legends after the death of King Dazang also have a deified color, and from this point of view, the true meaning of these verses may not be as real as Zhuo Muqiangpa said.

While Professor Fang Xin pondered, Zhuo Muqiangba continued: "Wang Fu, personally hold his bow and pull his strength towards the dense forest. At this time, the sound is like thunder, the heavens and the earth change color, a thing comes out, the body is like a pony, the whole body is purple and gold, the head is as big as a bucket, the eyes are like a brass bell, and the four hooves are like pillars. For a time, the man turned over on his horse, and the war mastiff crawled low, looking like a courtesy. Auxiliary Ba Zon shouted 'Purple Golden Leopard Eye Beast'! The beast was purple all over, his eyes were full of golden light, his feet were like auspicious clouds, his only tail resembled a dog, and he looked at the king, and the king did not dare to look, shouting 'Dog God', but abandoning the bow, and all the warriors bowed down to worship, all of which were called miracles. Three prostrations, nine prostrations, the beast is gone. Abandoning the hunt, the king could not afford to be sick, and said that he saw it in the daytime, and the purple unicorn also held the illness for dozens of days, and his heart was terrified. It is said that the first path is 'Purple Unicorn, the Buddha sits down on the divine object, this time coming, it is to rebuke what I have done, and when I am kind to the Heart Buddha, I can relieve my worries'. A few days later, he returned to the Jokhang Temple and was assassinated in front of the monument
