Je Tsongkhapa who also built many famous monasteries, remains to this day as Ganden, Drepung, Sera. The three monasteries located not far from Lhasa, which later became the "three pillars" of the Tibetan monks as they have trained thousands of monks and also home to a collection of political power.
As we know, the yellow hat sect How-hole, a disciple of Je Tsongkhapa developed strong activity after he reorganize the Tibetan Buddhism in the 14th century but it was not until 1578, by- promoting new peak hole. That was the year that a monk named Sonam Gyatso growth [1] to meet the king Mongolia Altan Khan (Yem-meet-khan). The master of the sermon for his servants and announced that the king was the reincarnation of the Great Kublai Khan was the chief is the reincarnation of Development-Investment-Development-private-third that three international lawyers are of the tide Originally under Kublai three hundred years earlier [2].
Altan Khan Mongolian king hear news, the ethical mind, who "battle for life, since it was close to a private island arc devout Buddhist, focusing their efforts to document treatment, according Buddha, they banned the guillotine kill "[3]. Sonam Gyatso gave King Mongolian magic name "Dalai", translation sound as "Dalai", translated as "great sea" (big sea) and see where the Dalai Lama is a reincarnation of Avalokitesvara. But you Dalai Lama not forget their orders from Je Tsongkhapa up counter style head priest monastery in Shigatse is Gendun Tashilhungpo Dalai drub do first, what you inherit is Abbot Gendun Gyatso do you Monday and myself as Dalai Tuesday. Since then, after each of the Dalai Lama dies, people go looking for the regeneration to take throne.
Around the early 17th century, Tibet fell into internal confusion, weakening force while China and Mongolia developed to the highest power. Fortunately after Wednesday Dalai you lose in 1617, they soon find out the regeneration. This fifth Dalai name Losang Gyatso [4] and is probably the greatest position in both the Dalai. He was both a profound scholar and as a politician and diplomat and a prominent architect.
Area Thursday Dalai was the one to build the Potala, the building from 1644 to 1692. prolonged In his later Thursday Dalai devote time to practice meditation and to all authority for the woman. Thursday Dalai lost when construction Potala unfinished and bedside, the main parts of his orders will not notice the loss until he completed Potala. This major side kept his word, for the Dalai disguise fifth in the audiences, forever 13 years later announced the death, at the same time introduce you always Friday.
What makes this secret mission only way-hole discredit and then your sixth Dalai nor long life, he was murdered 23 years. Earlier, the Chinese, Manchurian tribes kill Ming, won and established the Qing Dynasty. But goodwill Qing Tibet but perhaps also the secular interests that the Dalai you encounter countless conspiracy behind the massive walls of the Potala. Tibetan history and the bloody confusion as the governments in Asia.
We need to know that the yellow hat sect How-hole also conduct and coercion against a red hat sect Hong appearance and internal lines in Tibet Kamarpa, against the sons of the Buddha. Tibetan factions also rely on foreign forces such as Mongolia and China to do the scene pot with pork skin. Read the biography of the Dalai position, we see it as a historic chain of mysterious conspiracy with power struggles of the main parts, inside and outside the country. This Friday Dalai dies at 23 years old. Area exiled Saturday. Eighth position no real power. This year's ninth death was nine, was a child.
Area 10 dead in 21 years. 11th Place died at age 17. Area 12 death at age 19. There is little doubt that, from the ninth to reach your 12th Dalai, who also died of murder both [5]. 13th Place born in 1876, was the most outstanding position just behind the fifth of Lhasa restore discipline. During his term, European countries like Britain, Russia began eyeing Tibet, China and intense volatility. After the Qing lost in 1911, the Chinese army to withdraw from Tibet. The 13th Dalai return from India in 1913, Tibet declared independence. In that year a conference in Simla India to discuss and accept the sovereignty of Tibet, but China does not recognize. 1933 13th Dalai're lost, seven years after the 14th to the throne, it is the Dalai alive to this day.
1949 People's Republic of China was founded, the following year they brought troops occupied Tibet. 1959, the 14th Dalai secretly evacuated through India and Tibet today is a part of China, known literally as "autonomous region".
Thus the line Dalai Lama, How-hole sect, is the leader of political and spirits of Tibet over 400 years, lasted for 14 lifetime. During that time, since the 17th century to the present, the Potala Palace is the most sacred architecture of Tibet, where the stupa containing the remains of the Dalai position and also the political leadership mansion.
Actually Potala was built during the Tung-Xinjiang-dad, the Dalai Thursday was the only building on the scale today. Tung-Xinjiang king father is considered an incarnation of Avalokitesvara, he chose this sacred piece of land, it is considered the embodiment of heaven on earth Top-rate. So if Putuo is home outside the eastern sea Avalokitesvara, the Potala palace on the roof of his world.
Potala is the largest temple in Tibet. But far beyond the other building, but it was leaning against a mountain named Marpori (red paint) so although electricity very majestic throne but it harmonious with the surroundings. Before power house is a great distance to school so far away from it that I can see, the landscape is as worthy of the stature of electricity. Electric house about 360m width, the roof is covered with gold-plated, with 13 floors above the street about 120m. Total area of electricity to about 360,000 square meters. House red phone that the Chinese call "pink bow" located on the high, white house white at the bottom. House red is the central area of the Potala, is the most sacred places of worship of power.
While countless Tibetan prayer wheel hand, shoulder carrying offerings electricity circumnavigate clockwise to climb the bus we were allowed to run up to the top. I have little regret and shame, I should walk to center before settling on the retreat place of power density. But when looked at hundreds of thousands of stairs and found himself his breath longer than, his lips are purple, I silently thanked the organizing committee said health tourists tour. Up to a parking spot, I know I have to climb much and will still go through countless examinations churches, stupas, meditation room. No one knows the immense power of this house many times, there was talk of 750 rooms, 999 rooms have documented.
In internal power, light smell reminds me fat buffalo statue Jokhang and noble virtue Jowo. I know that the Dalai you once ruled in this Potala have been crowned at the Jokhang, in front of Jowo. Dim light show that I was walking in the Museum of the, it contains the classic storage. Tibetan classics made of narrow paper, they are not bound to leave. In precious Potala classics that are wrapped in red silk and gold, contained in a wooden frame set high, travelers not to be touched. System of Tibetan classics surprising for a country with a population of 5-6 million, which is a collection of many massive Chinese Tripitaka that does not necessarily have. A few days later, in another monastery I had the opportunity to see two people who are printing of handiwork. One of those two was a boy about 12 years old, faces glowing, hand printing of mouth recite. He is the reincarnation of someone?
After trading the Museum, we started going from room to room with a multitude of subjects. The first statue was found in the Potala was Atiśa and the Dalai position and then I no longer take notes well. This is Atiśa, monk that I have many times "meet" in the service of your own story? This is Indian pilgrims have been to the ancient Indonesian island of Sumatra, who shall go before Tibet despite knowing that his trip due to reduced life expectancy 12 years. These are guys that every time there is any questions just ask the opinion of Avalokitesvara, like asking friends.
Potala is a fortified bastion, winding road nobody remember. I suddenly stood before the statue of 13 Dalai Lama. In 13th position, as we know, the fifth is the greatest, "le cinquieme", have a voice, speak French. His statue is larger than the others, of his more flamboyant of the others.
In light of our lamps buffalo fat precede urns eight stupas of Dalai position. Tower gold- and brought many precious stones. Tower of high fifth taste about 15m and covered with gold 3700kg. Gold jewels are not lacking in effect Potala, which is a treasure trove of religious art and the storage container countless golden statues. Go before a statue of Maitreya with blue eyes, I recalled Ung Hoa Palace in Beijing and what he says about himself that of "the law". Oh, all "are nothing of achievement", that is how his talk about Count No, but it is his perception, and perception is often other people. A gathering place jewels and power as Potala must awaken the greed of many people, then and now. And greed to cause bloodshed, I told myself to remember the history of the Potala few hundred years ago, and recent decades. Those that still weighs on me, maybe I should not have when entering this secret hiding place.
O Padmasambhava, once he conquered soldiers warm today so not out of hand with all kinds of modern ghost. I ask how he stood before the statue of Padmasambhava, the statue that anyone realized with rolled eyes, the bearded lips. Tibetan people who also believe he has not gone away, still there to hand out when the right time at the right time. 14th Dalai said that in his generation, he will also return to Tibet. This year he turned 65, whether he is reasonable?
We are allowed to climb to the roof of power, here we can not look away. What a majestic landscape, around by electric gilded roof. Where I stand is where the 14th Dalai old days, when you were a child stood looking down at the ground far, far see children of the same age to play. He wished to get to play with them but not, in the end only binoculars shopping, according to his autobiography. Today children play old place became places selling souvenirs, parking, and unfortunately, there are no beggars waiting at home. Leaving electric roof sleeping places I visited, work room, living room, meditation room of the Dalai position.
These rooms leave unchanged since the 14th Dalai day leave. I remember him, remember he met in Bonn. I get the impression that he understood all of a system badly clergy involved in the power of the Dalai his line, he saw heavy karma of his ancestors to leave. In parallel he also looked see all the ambition of the Chinese government towards Tibet, shown in the last century and in this era. He said that the situation of today's dark in Tibet as a result of a historical sequence that the leaders of China ham power and in Tibet have caused. There were times when he said, "I just an ordinary Buddhist monk. " Through those words I felt that it was not only the humility required of a monk but a break with the past of clergy regime mired in worldly power.
Going down to the foot of the Potala me out to the square in front, looking at the last time. Clock that evening sun was bright as day. I remembered Tibet belongs to China, where only a hour clock, which is now Beijing. Beijing and Lhasa apart easily but also four time zones to follow Beijing to Lhasa. Eight of Lhasa pm but it was still bright as four o'clock in the afternoon. Tibetans seem easygoing, hours for them anyway. But a nation that a few million people do not lose their classical Chinese must understand they have a distinct cultures and unique.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/10/2015.
