Living in the Potala Palace, he was the biggest king in the snowy land; wandering the streets of Lhasa, he was the most beautiful lover in the world. Reunited in the deepest world of mortals, perhaps what he wants is not supreme power and status, he only wants freedom and love. Can fate play tricks on people, and how can we have both in this world? Do you live up to the Tathagata or live up to your Majesty?
Because I like Tsangyang Gyatso's love poems, I came to Lhasa today. I can see the Potala Palace from my hotel room. Tomorrow I will start my trip to Lhasa, and I will go through all the places where you once lived...
Suddenly, the reason why I thought of reading this book was because I heard the lyrics of the phrase "In this world, I can have both ways, and I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you." Then I remembered Cangyang Gyatso. In fact, I really don't understand his story. I only remember that he once wrote that whether you see me or not, I am neither sad nor happy... There are also worldly affairs, except life and death, which one is not a trivial matter... Then I became interested in him. After reading this book, I may not understand some parts, but the shock to my soul cannot be expressed in words. What I remember the most is what is mentioned in the book: "If you don't realize that Buddha is a living being, when you realize it, all living beings are Buddha. Buddhist culture attracts me very much, and of course Tibet attracts me even more. I must make a pilgrimage with an innocent heart in my lifetime..."
The first time I saw this book was in the summer of 15. I was wandering around the bookstore because I may have become a collector. I took a casual look at it and took it home. Maybe it was because the summer was too hot that year, so I couldn't calm down and read it slowly. It wasn't until that winter that I started to read it seriously. This is a very meaningful book. A book worth reading over and over again. Reading this book seems like the author is narrating it like a face-to-face friend. It is very peaceful and immersive. The Tibet in the book is the Tibet in my dream, and Tsangyang Gyatso is the Tsangyang Gyatso who came from the Qing Dynasty next to me. You can see his helplessness, his passion, and his various things. The world is safe and sound, and I live up to the Tathagata and live up to you.
There has never been a book with such delicate emotions and philosophy. The story is beautiful and it is an epic. It has more soul and life through the author.
In that life, I traveled around mountains, rivers, and pagodas, not to cultivate the next life, but to meet you on the way.
In this world, we can have both peace and harmony, and we will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you.
It's really good. I've read this book before, but regrettably interrupted it due to my busy schedule. Now I can finally read it again. The author's peaceful mood can cleanse my troubled heart and help us find some freshness and coolness in the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Beautiful love, peerless people!
The world is safe and secure, and I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you.
A thought brings to mind thousands of rivers and mountains! One thought can destroy the sea and the fields
