Sun and Moon
by An Yiru
About This Novel
A novel written by An Yiru in pure prose language. This is the spiritual history of a Tibetan young man who has lived in Beijing for more than thirty years. It tells the complete process of the protagonist being adopted in Tibet, living and studying in Beijing, integrating into a modern metropolis, studying and doing business, experiencing emotional setbacks, gradually losing himself, and finally returning to Tibet to find his roots. It is a story about growth, transcendence, and enlightenment. This book is also an ode to life that integrates destiny and emotion, history and reality. The life of the protagonist Suonan Tsering (Yin Changsheng) is just like the life of Tsangyang Gyatso. Although Tsangyang Gyatso does not actually appear in the book, he is like a symbol that runs through the whole book. In the novel, the glitz and vanity of modern cities are in sharp contrast to the purity and tranquility of the snowy plateau. The author also combines the fate of the characters in the book with his own understanding and perception of religion, giving the work a very profound philosophical connotation...

Tibet is the yearning of all literati. There are people who worship devoutly, there are the love poems of Tsangyang Gyatso, and there are compassionate Buddhas who redeem the souls who have fallen into the mortal world. It is an inviolable pure land in the world. "Sun and Moon" begins in Tibet and ends in Tibet. At that time, his name was Sonam Tsering and he was a young monk in the temple. Her name was Yin Lian, and she said to him: "Tsering, come with me." From then on, he fell into the world of mortals. That year his name was Yin Changsheng, and he called her aunt. Changsheng had a strong possessive desire for Lian when he was a child. It was only when he grew up that he realized his different feelings for her. And since she was married to the person she loved, he became forbearing and only wanted her good. The world of mortals made him taste the most painful thing in the world, asking for nothing. Time flew by, and finally Yin Lian understood the emotion in his eyes. She said to him: "Changsheng, please go back!" The fate was gone and she left, as if she had never been here. He originally belonged to the Buddha, fell into the mortal world by mistake, and will eventually return, so the story ends in Tibet. We are back to the place where the economic point started. Meeting in the mortal world and forgetting each other in the Buddha is also a sad and beautiful ending.
Loving with compassion is self-love. Yin Changsheng is my favorite character. He is forbearing and pure. He can only admire it from a distance and dare not touch it. Sonam Tsering, you are also the Buddha in my heart.
Appreciate flowers without touching your lap, love things without attachment
May your birthday be long and bright
The world is disillusioned and life is impermanent. Cultivation is both enlightenment and detachment.
Everything will eventually return to its original track
Time is quiet, I meet An Yiru, I meet myself
A book I read in my senior year of high school found a ray of tranquility in the tumultuous time.
Tibet is a pure land that everyone longs for and the best destination for the soul.
I want to read "If Life Is Only Like the First Meeting" by An Yiru
