.Chapter 848 Sonam Gyatso (Central)

"My junior brother is obsessed with it." Sonam Gyatso smiled and said, "Do you admit it or not, the facts are there. There is a cause and effect in the dark, which drives your and me, so this time the meeting of thousands of miles..." As he said that, he suddenly shouted, "My junior brother, I came here to guide you!"

The silent mind buzzed, and for a moment, he felt that he was really seen through. He knew that there were many mysterious methods in Tantric Buddhism, and he believed that the reincarnation of a living Buddha had its mystery. More importantly, he was really the secret of being a human being in the second lifetime, and seemed to have been pointed out by the other party... Do you really want to convert?

But, so what if you see through it? For politicians, talking nonsense with their eyes open is the basic quality. No matter what the facts are, they say yes, no, no, no, no. Anyway, as long as they are not caught in public, everything else is a cloud.

So from the initial shock, the silent mind began to move rapidly, analyzing the causes and consequences of this matter... First of all, I must not be a reincarnation of a holy monk. I was over fifty years old and couldn't help but think about it when I saw a beautiful young girl. Is the reincarnated holy monk the only virtue? What's more, even if I am a holy monk? Do you really go back to the Lama Temple with him to become a monk?

What's the difference between admitting or not? I couldn't help but smiled at myself and regained my thoughts. Even if the other party saw through me, I now saw through me... Sonam Gyatso, this future person is not only a respected monk, but also an outstanding politician!

In the silent mind, the Tibetan information collected by the Military Information Department quickly passed...

There were many Tibetan Buddhist sects, and there were four major sects, which were divided into four religions according to the colors of the clothing and buildings they wore. The Gelug Sect, founded by the saint monk Tsongkhapa, originated from the Kadam Sect, but it had distinct characteristics and strict management systems. Therefore, it soon came from the top and became one of the important sects of Tibetan Buddhism, called the New Kadam Sect, also known as the Yellow Sect.

The rise of the Gelug Sect was inevitably hostile and excluded by other sects and secular regimes that supported them. Moreover, the founding Gelug Sect could only survive under the wings of the Ming Feng Chanhua King who ruled Lhasa because of its lack of solid social and cultural foundation. Fortunately, the King of Chanhua believed in the Gelug Sect throughout the ages, and its sect did have advantages that other sects were not as good as that of them, so it grew rapidly, and temples were spread throughout the Tibetan area.

However, the good times did not last long. With the death of Zaba Jianzan, the eighth generation of the Pazhu royal family, the death of the eighth generation of the Pazhu royal family, internal strife broke out in the struggle for inheritance rights, and the power of the Pazhu royal family declined from prosperity. Soon, the Renbeng family, which had both the status of important officials and foreign relatives, intervened in the inheritance of the throne, took charge of government affairs, and even held the royal family hostage by force. The Renbeng family not only betrayed the Pazhu royal family politically, but also religiously connected with the Red Cult to exclude and attack the Gelug Sect.

The situation of the Gelug Sect took a sharp turn and was at the brink of life and death. Under the pressure of survival, a stable leadership organization was urgently needed to unite all the monks of the Gelug Sect closely and fight against hostile forces. Therefore, the Gelug Sect first adopted the method of reincarnation of their leaders, thereby avoiding internal disputes caused by seizing leadership and obtaining a stable leadership group. Moreover, since the leaders in the front and rear were nominally one person, their social relations could be inherited legitimately, and their status could be elevated to the status of secular aristocrats, making it easier to deal with the noble lords.

After the establishment of the system of "reincarnation of Living Buddhas", the status of the Gelug Sect finally stabilized. Under the leadership of the "living Buddhas" Gentun Gyatso, who had superb political capabilities, the Phazhu royal family helped drive away Renbengba from Lhasa and gained the status of presided over the Prayer Conference. Gentun Gyatso also carried out a series of political reforms to make the Gelug Sect more tightly organized and more politically influential.

However, the ideal has not yet become a reality. Gentun Gyatso passed away, causing the sect to fall into crisis again. This forced the upper class of the Gelug Sect to decide to continue to implement the system of reincarnation of the living Buddhas and choose the reincarnation of the sect as a major matter related to the survival of the sect. After searching, an ideal child was finally found, Sonam Gyatso, who was silent.

According to a detailed investigation by the Military Information Department, the secular family of Sonam Gyatso had close relationships with the Palzhu royal family, rather than the small serf-owning family claimed by the Gelugs... His biological father held an important position in the Lhasa regime, and his mother was the direct descendant of the Palugs royal family, and the couple were both Gelugs believers.

By this time, the biggest difference between the Gelug sect and other sects was completely revealed - that is, its strong political nature!

When Sonam Gyatso grew up and took over as the leader of the Gelug Sect, the situation once again was very unfavorable to his sect. Although the Renbeng family was expelled from power, the Pazhu regime declined, and another wealthy family, the Xinxiaba family, took the opportunity to take power. This family still supported the Red Cult, not only returned the qualification to preside over the Prayer Grand Dharma Assembly to the Red Cult, but also prohibited the Gelug monks from participating in the Grand Dharma Assembly.

The Gelugs were once again marginalized in Lhasa. In order to survive, they spared no effort to find new political and military protectors and supporters in order to get rid of this dilemma of being discriminated against, excluded or even prematurely dead. However, there is no competent force in Tibet.

At this moment, Altan Khan strongly managed Qinghai, and his strength was far greater than any force in the Tibetan area. Many Tibetan monks and lay people had surrendered to him. Obviously, the Gelug Sect looked at him looking for the backstage... The problem is that although Altan's son, Bingtu Taiji, who was stationed in Qinghai, had converted to the Lamaism, Altan did not reject this religion, but he was not allowed to spread among the people.

According to reliable information, Sonam Gyatso's uncle Axing Lama had secretly visited Hohhot and asked to see Altan. The specific content of the conversation was unknown, but the result was that Altan regarded Axing Lama as a guest of honor and sent his son Bingtu Taiji to invite Sonam Gyatso to meet in Hohhot, but Sonam Gyatso did not agree immediately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because almost at the same time, invitations from the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty were also placed in front of Sonam Gyatso.

Although Altan Khan made the Ming Dynasty very embarrassed and pulled out all the four guards outside the Qinghai Frontier, leaving only one Xining guard. However, Tibet was still dominated by the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Yongle had conferred three Dharma kings in Tibet, and divided the Lama religion; conferred the five kings of the escort, divided the vast Tibetan areas, and allowed them to pay tribute regularly... Because the court has always adhered to the tribute policy of "small come and go", it is obvious that it is to give these barriers and local kings to benefit them in exchange for obedience. Therefore, since Yongle to this day, Tibetan monks and lay leaders have been competing to pay tribute. Although it has increased the burden on the country's finances, it is precisely because of this blood transfusion that the Ming and Tibet still maintain the relationship between the masters and the ministers.

Whether to go to Altan's appointment or to the Ming Dynasty, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably choose the former. After all, the Ming Dynasty had not shown the intention to recover Hetao at that time. Based on the guiding ideology of "It is better to take charge of county officials now", he would also put the Ming Dynasty date aside first to avoid annoying Altan.

But as the strongest political lama in history, Sonam Gyatso was not confused. He just held a military review. He asked in detail about the monks stationed in Beijing who came from the Ming Post System, and concluded that the Ming Dynasty might have to make big moves, even if there were no big moves, he would have great determination. At this critical moment, if he ignored the invitation from the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty and went to the date of the Ming Dynasty's enemy, Altan, it would undoubtedly be more than worth the loss... At least Sonam Gyatso thought so.

So he went against the opposition and immediately replied to the Ming Dynasty and set off happily.

Before leaving, Ah Xing Lama, who was strongly accused of meeting Altan, asked with concern: "How should Altan Khan respond?"

"Zhuge Liang has to visit the cottage three times." The learned Sonam Gyatso replied: "As soon as he asked, he would be despised by this sect, and his status would be affected in the future."

"Then, aren't you afraid of being despised by the Ming Dynasty?" Ah Xing Lama thought to himself, why do you have double standards?

"I guess, this time the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty coincided with us, and we don't plan to preach in the Han area, so there is no need to be artificial." Sonam Gyatso said lightly: "What's more, the officials of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom love vanity the most. If you respect him one foot, he will pay you one foot. We can't lose." Halfway through the way, we learned that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Hetao, successfully captured Dongsheng City, and captured Mongolian Jinong. Sonam Gyatso was glad and more convinced of his judgment... The Ming Dynasty wanted to let himself accomplish things that could not be done on the battlefield.

Sonam Gyatso would not refuse, because with the support of the Ming Dynasty, he would preach on the grassland and become more wings. If he could conquer the Mongols and establish good relations with the Ming Dynasty, the Gelug Sect would not worry about survival, but should consider how to lead the entire Tibetan.

No matter which direction, as the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, he controls Shen Mo from the Nine Territory, is a key figure in Sonam Gyatso's goal. If he can convert this person, great things will be accomplished!

So from the beginning, Sonam Gyatso focused on Shen Mo, but the other party was obviously not interested in religious things, and he tried his best to speak so much... In order to describe the Western Paradise, he even borrowed the Pure Land Sect's statement to convert him. Unfortunately, after three days, he washed the father and daughter several times. However, the Shen Dushi, who had been listening carefully, had always only admired his eyes and was actually indifferent.

Sonam Gyatso had to come up with a trick to such a stubborn person who could not be convinced by words. From the beginning of this day, he was slowly making arrangements, first using Noyandala's warm field of conversion; then using these days to observe the conclusions drawn by Unachu's words and deeds, and shocked Shen Mo's defense. Seeing that he was still indifferent, he had to use the mantra secret method, supplemented by the fragrance of requiem, and hypnotized the other party. In the hypnotic situation, he felt the Western Paradise... After he came back to his senses, he used extremely bewitching language, and even supplemented by the roar of a lion to convert him.

However, in the end, this guy refused to convert. This was the first time Sonam Gyatso made the Bible enlightenment in more than ten years, so he was so angry that he almost broke the precept of anger.

But he was a reincarnated monk in three lifetimes, and he said without any strangeness on his face: "My junior brother was originally an enlightened monk, so naturally he had your practice method. It seems that he had decided to practice in the court in this life." He smiled as if he was enlightened and said: "That's right, it's good to practice in the public sect. My junior brother is determined to rely on it, and it can be a thousand miles a day. I really envious... I just need to remember to try to avoid cause and effect and do more good deeds!"

"Thank you for your teachings from senior brother." Chen Si stopped when he saw the opportunity and gave the other party a step: "I will have to give you more advice from senior brother in the future."

"The advice is not enough, I just forget some of you and return it to you." Sonam Gyatso smiled and said, "I will pass on the set of exercises just now. Practice once a day to keep you from suffering from all diseases and clear eyes. No matter what you do in the future, it will be of great benefit."

"Can this method be able to understand other people's hearts?" asked silently.

"Of course not." Sonam Gyatso looked at him and smiled: "The human heart is protected by the soul. Even if he enters that mysterious state, he will subconsciously protect his soul. Perhaps there are evil magic that can forcefully open the protection and explore the heart of a person. But since you and I, monks, have converted to Buddhism, how can we touch the evil demons and heretics again?" He introduced so clearly, obviously not only to make silence understand, but also to clear himself: "This method can only guide you to return to nature and always use the heart of a child to correct the deviations in your own behavior."

"That's a pity," said Silently, "But it's good, people have the right to keep their secrets."

"Yes." Sonam Gyatso nodded and smiled, "It just is your secret, it seems to be a bit too many."

"Hahaha..." said silently, "Is there no secret for senior brother?"

"People who practice cultivation must have a innocent heart." Sonam Gyatso shook his head and said with a smile: "You must know everything and say everything, so that the two obstacles can be purified and not hinder your practice." This sentence undoubtedly declares the end of the battle and enters the main topic.

"Really?" Chen Si naturally heard it. He was really impressed by Sonam Gyatso's ability to take it and let it go. He was not polite and said with a smile: "Then I want to ask why Lama Axing went to the grassland at the beginning of the year."

"I sent him there." Sonam Gyatso said frankly: "To convince Altan to accept this religion."

"What's the result?" asked silently.

"Altan Khan, you have converted." Sonam Gyatso looked at him with a little depressed look and thought to himself, I can handle Altan even if I sit down. Now I personally take action, but I can't take you down. I'm really embarrassed. Or is it because I am a Tibetan Buddhism, which is born not suitable for Han people?

"Ming Shi Nan Gyatso "has a unique skill to convince people, and all the monks follow their teachings. Even the Great Treasure Dharma King and the Kings of the Anhua Kings all bowed their heads to call them disciples. Therefore, the West only knew that this monk was the monk. The monks only had a void position and could no longer give their orders. I don't know what this master has, so I can only think about it. Don't blame the master.
