"I have never wanted to say it before. In fact, it is because this matter is considered the highest secret of our Buddhist Tantra." Brenda paused and said, "The Venerable should be Loben Rinpoche's close disciple, Master Lalong Beji Dorje.
.”
"Wait a minute, who is Loben Rinpoche?" I asked doubtfully. It's not that my history scores are bad, I have never paid attention to these things.
Brenda was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Loben Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is the first person to promote Tibetan Buddhism."
If I go, he would have said that Padmasambhava would be successful? Padmasambhava is incredible.
Legend has it that there used to be a small country called Aojin in India, and their king was called Indybodhi. For the welfare of his people, he generously donated his money and even his own eyes. When his only son unfortunately passed away
, he felt very sad; and misfortunes never come singly, the country suffered from successive years of drought and famine. At that time, the national treasury was empty, and the people could only survive by eating immature rice and flowers. In addition to giving alms, the king also prayed to the sacred Buddha.
When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saw this scene in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, he begged Amitabha Buddha to save these sentient beings. Amitabha Buddha's tongue immediately shot out a red light towards a lotus flower in the Tanah Lake. The lotus flower immediately bloomed, and an upright vajra pestle shot out from Amitabha's heart.
There is a symbol of giving standing on a lotus, which in the light of the rainbow transforms into an eight-year-old child sitting on the lotus, surrounded by dakinis.
In this way, Padmasambhava, who was transformed from the most compassionate Buddha's heart, came to this world to save all sentient beings. King Bodhi of India was very depressed at the time. On the edge of despair, he decided to venture to the deep sea and pray to the Sea Dragon King for a wish.
After many hardships, he finally succeeded in reaching the Dragon Palace. The Sea Dragon King gave him many gems, and the goddess Ashurta even gave him a dazzling "wishes gem".
The king carefully carried the auspicious gem, wrapped it in cloth and put it in his arms. On the way back, he made a good wish, and in an instant, his blind left eye regained sight. When the king passed by Tanner Lake
, saw a five-color rainbow hanging high in the sky, and a child emitting golden light sitting on a giant lotus. He thought he was dreaming, so he asked the child who he was and where he came from.
The child replied: "I have no father or mother. I am the incarnation of Amitabha Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva. My mission is to save all sentient beings and promote the Vajrayana teachings." After hearing this, the king's eyesight fully recovered, and he was happy to confer him the title of "Vajrayana Buddha".
The "Prince" and heir to the throne was named Padmasambhava. Since then, the country of Aojin has been in good weather and the country is peaceful and peaceful.
This is the lotus flower. Of course, as you can see from the above, I don’t think it’s so weird. It jumped out of the lotus flower. Why didn’t it just jump out of the stone?
Padmasambhava was the first person to preach Buddhism in Tibet. He was one of those people who was the first to eat crabs, and then he accepted a lot of disciples.
However, even if Da Kui was his disciple in his previous life, he would not be treated like this by these guys. You must know that Padmasambhava has accepted hundreds of disciples. Does it mean that if one of them comes out, they will treat him as a venerable?
Brenda saw the confusion in my eyes, smiled, and said, "Lalong Beji Dorje was originally a military general stationed on the Sino-Tibetan border. Later he became a monk from Vimalamitra and worshiped Padmasambhava as his teacher.
Obtained the Bodhisattva rituals from Padmasambhava. He lived in Chayelpa Temple for a long time to preside over temple affairs and practice Buddhist scriptures. Later, Langdama destroyed the Buddha, and our Buddhism almost collapsed at that time. As a result, Lalu Beji Dorje disguised himself as Ben in 842
The believers went to Lhasa and assassinated Langdama with an arrow while he was reading the "Tang Tibetan Alliance Monument" in front of the Jokhang Temple. After that, he fled into seclusion in the mountains and never appeared again."
"Then Langdama is so idle that it hurts. Why destroy the Buddha if you have nothing to do?" I shrugged. Langdama was the last Zanpu of the Tubo Dynasty. It was not good for him to be the king peacefully. He had to destroy some Buddha.
Hong Zhuo, who was next to me, said: "Anyone who has some knowledge of the history of Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet knows that Tibetan Buddhism can be divided into a pre-promulgation period and a later propagation period. They all know that there is a period of about 100 years between the two periods.
It was cut off by the last Zangpu Langdama of the Tubo Dynasty. There is a story about why Langdama destroyed the Buddha.
"It is said that Dama was very rough and killed without batting an eye, especially when he needed a haircut. None of the people who gave him a haircut survived. Later, it was the turn of a filial son with eight mothers to give him a haircut. The filial son entered the palace.
When giving the king a haircut, he told him that he must respect the old man and asked Damaji not to hurt him. Damaji said: As long as you don't reveal my secrets that you saw during the haircut, you can spare his life. The barber immediately
After swearing an oath that he would never tell anyone about the secret he discovered during his haircut, the king allowed him to get a haircut. The barber was surprised to find that Dama had horns on his head."
"After the barber survived, he swore not to tell the secret, but he was so stuffy in his stomach that he couldn't breathe. He had to ask a wise man for advice. The wise man said, "You swore not to tell the secret abroad.
"The king's secret, then make a flute out of bamboo and blow out the air in the wild mountains and forests where others can't hear it. Without breaking the oath, your stomach will not be bloated." The barber followed the wise man's instructions and made a bamboo flute.
I went to a deserted place deep in the mountains and forests and played the flute. The sound "Luduludu" that came out of the flute happened to mean "ox horns" in Tibetan, and the secret of the king's horns was exposed."
""Lang" in Tibetan means bull. Langdama is actually the reincarnation of a pack cow. In this life, he is Zanpu. To destroy Buddhism in the world is the evil oath he made when he was a cow in his previous life."
"A long time ago, there were some Buddhist believers living in a place. In order to show their sincere devotion to the Buddha and to accumulate blessings for themselves, they chose a high slope and built a pagoda on the hillside. During the construction process
, it was this poor cow that carried stones for the pagoda from beginning to end. Day after day, year after year, when the pagoda was completed, the cow had exhausted its strength, had saddle sores on its back and was dying.
The people who built the pagoda were celebrating the consecration of the pagoda. They all thought that they had done great good deeds for the Buddha and the blessings they had accumulated were extremely great. No one paid attention to the old cow tied to the corner. As the saying goes, all things are inseparable.
At this time, the old cow who was about to die was very angry and made an evil oath before dying: "I am a cow in this life and was tortured by Buddhists in this life. If I can be reincarnated as a master of life in the next life,
If I kill powerful people, I will destroy Buddhism."
"Time can make many impossible things possible. I don't know how many kalpas have passed, but this old cow finally reincarnated as Tibetan King Tsampu and avenged the Buddhists in his previous life. So there was Langdama
