"Before the democratic reform in 1959, Tibet had long been a feudal serfdom society with the integration of politics and religion and the dictatorship of monks and nobles. It was dark and cruel and even worse than the serfdom system in medieval Europe."
“In old Tibet, serf owners such as officials, nobles, and upper-class monks in monasteries, who accounted for less than 0.0% of the population, owned almost all of Tibet’s cultivated land, pastures, and most of the livestock. Serf owners with more than 3% of the population in old Tibet occupied the bodies of serfs and treated them as
They can use it as their own private property at will, and can buy, sell, transfer, give away, pay off debts and exchange. In 1966, Tibet had a population of 1 million, of which 30,000 did not have housing."
"As for the Dalai Lama, he lived in old Tibet and enjoyed various privileges since he was a child. However, after the reform, many of his privileges were lost. In the end, he wanted to independent Tibet and restore the previous theocracy. To put it bluntly, he wanted to
Become a local emperor."
"And Pan Chan is only in his thirties now. He has never experienced the so-called integration of politics and religion. He has been exposed to computers and modern education since he was a child, and he is opposed to independence."
When I heard Brother Jingfeng say this, I asked: "Is this Dalai Lama so stupid? How is it possible for independent Tibet to be independent?"
"This is more complicated to say. Anyway, it's probably like this. Originally, after the failure of independence in 1959, he escaped from Tibet and went to the United States. He later returned to Tibet. Although he did not openly continue to express his position on the issue of independence.
, but his thoughts can be easily seen." Brother Jingfeng frowned and said, "It seems that this debate ceremony will be the final struggle between the Dalai Lama and Pan Chan."
"Despite the reform, monks still have a high status in Tibet, especially those high-level monks. This debate ceremony should be aimed at gaining the support of these high-level monks." After Brother Jingfeng finished speaking, he lay down on the bed: "
Don't worry, no matter who wins or loses, it's none of our business anyway, the Dalai Lama will definitely not dare to hurt us, he will be released after a maximum of two days."
It is true that the Dalai Lama will not harm us now, not because we are very capable, but because the people behind Brother Jingfeng and I will bring big trouble to the Dalai Lama.
I was also lying on the bed, constantly thinking about what to do next. I couldn't really be locked up in this shabby room like this and do nothing, right?
Apart from anything else, no matter who wins between the Dalai Lama and Pan Chan, the loser will definitely have a bad end. It would be fine if Pan Chan wins, but if the Dalai Lama wins, Dakui will be in danger.
.
Thinking of this, I couldn't sleep, so I stood up and kicked our door hard.
What I didn't expect was that the door looked like it was made of wood, but when I kicked it up, it felt like I was kicking on an iron plate.
"What are you doing? Just sleep peacefully for a few days." Brother Jingfeng said as he lay down and looked at me sideways.
"The Dalai Lama and Panchen Chan have probably debated the Dharma very rarely in thousands of years. Don't you want to see the excitement?" I said with a smile.
If I just asked Brother Jingfeng to help me escape, he would probably have to fidget for a long time, but people are curious, let alone the debate between Pan Chan and Dalai Lama.
Historically, the relationship between Pan Chan and the Dalai Lama was generally good. After all, there were only two great living Buddhas in Tibet, and there were very few cases where Pan Chan and the Dalai Lama were at odds with each other.
After hearing what I said, Brother Jingfeng became interested. After thinking about it, he said: "What you said makes sense. This kind of thing, let alone this life, I probably won't see it in the next life. But if you don't go and see the excitement, it's
I feel sorry for myself."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me how to get out." Seeing that Brother Jingfeng was interested, I said directly.
Brother Jingfeng thought for a moment and said, "It's easy to get out of this house. You can open the door by opening the lock talisman with any flower."
As soon as I heard this, I slapped my forehead. Why did I forget the unlocking talisman? I quickly picked up my backpack and prepared to take out the talisman paper and start drawing the talisman.
Brother Jingfeng came over and stopped me and said, "What are you doing? I haven't finished yet. It's easy to open the lock, but how do you deal with the monks outside? Do you think those monks are just wood? Maybe they won't stop us until we leave?"
"
"What are you afraid of? It's just a group of monks. Just fight them out." I said disapprovingly, brother, I have been here for so many years and my skills are much better than ordinary people. And Brother Jingfeng has received professional training in Longhu Mountain since he was a child. Not to mention how powerful he is.
.
In a fight, we may not be able to defeat ten monks, but if we run, we can really escape.
"Come on, there are no guards in the Potala Palace? There are also armed police. Are you sure you can fight them out?" Brother Jingfeng said: "Don't worry, we won't start the defense ceremony today anyway. Just wait, believe me.
.”
"Are you sure you can do something?" I looked at Brother Jingfeng doubtfully.
Brother Jingfeng was quite confident. He nodded and lay down on the bed, saying, "Don't worry, there are only two places where they hold the Dharma Debate Conference. One is the Potala Palace and the other is the Jokhang Temple."
"I'll figure out the date of the debate ceremony later, and then we'll run out on the day of the defense ceremony."
I have to say that Brother Jingfeng is really powerful. The person guarding us at the door was a monk in his twenties who brought us water. At that time, Brother Jingfeng handed us two cigarettes and talked a few words, and the two of them became brothers.
As for the ability to fool people, it would be impossible to achieve this level without fooling hundreds of people.
Of course, Brother Jingfeng's ability to deceive people is indeed great, but this guy is obviously a monk and a fool, and has no scheming at all. Brother Jingfeng basically just says whatever he asks. It's just like Zhou Yu's yellow cover.
.
It turns out that the debate ceremony will be held in Jokhang Temple in half a month. After receiving this news, I was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was still half a month, so there was nothing to be anxious about.
And on the day of the debate ceremony, the guard strength of the Potala Palace will definitely be greatly reduced. After all, it is the last stand of the Dalai Lama and Pan Chan. The Dalai Lama will definitely transfer everyone there, maybe
You have to start fighting.
To be honest, being locked up here, except for the lack of freedom, everything else is really good. The food is not bad. You can tell the monk at the door what you want to eat and he will prepare it in the kitchen.
Apparently Dalai Lama treated us both as distinguished guests.
As the days passed, Brother Jingfeng and I basically forgot about our original trip to Tibet to look for broken military swords.
Liu Boqing has never called me.
In a flash, it was the morning of the debate conference.
"Are you ready?" Brother Jingfeng said with a smile, "Have you remembered the plan?"
"Only you can come up with such a shameless plan." I glared at him, then cleared my throat and shouted to the door: "Be strong, help, someone is coming quickly."
