At that moment, I raised the prayer flags, not to beg for blessings, but only to await your arrival.
That day, with my eyes closed in the incense-filled prayer hall, I suddenly heard the sacred words in your chanting.
That day, I piled up the mani stones, not to cultivate virtue, but only to cast a pebble into the lake of your heart.
That night, I listened to Buddhist chants all night, not to seek enlightenment, but only to catch the faintest trace of you.
That month, I turned every prayer wheel, not to deliver souls from suffering, but only to touch your fingertips.
That year, I prostrated myself along the mountain road, not to pay homage, but only to feel your warmth.
In that lifetime, I circled mountains, waters, and stupas, not to earn a better next life, but only to meet you along the way.
In that instant, I ascended to immortality, not for eternal life, but only to bless you with peace and happiness.
(Quoted from “The Believer” by Cangyang Gyatso)
This subject matter is unusual by nature. If you insist on strict historical accuracy, please look elsewhere, because I’m only telling an imagined story that has nothing to do with history. If you have nationalist leanings, please look elsewhere as well. I have always believed that the concept of the nation must take precedence over ethnicity. Peace and unity are prerequisites for a country’s development and the foundation of human prosperity and happiness.
Updates: New chapters Monday through Friday; no updates on Saturday or Sunday.
I’ll ask for leave if anything comes up.
Thanks to my editor for making the cover. I’m extremely, extremely pleased with it!

Dear author, I like your article very much. Can you repost it to the Cambrian Annals Post? □
Lao Jiu is like Wang Xifeng, trapped in a cocoon.
I have collected it for a long time and read it for a long time. I have been reading it intermittently. Some of the words are a bit regretful to me, but I still read it carefully and word by word. Young people in this article by Linglong may not be able to understand some of the words; those who have not experienced pain may not be able to read it deep in their hearts. I can only say that meeting "Xiao Man" may also be my Buddhist destiny. Thank you Linglong, thank you "Xiaoman".
I watched it for a long, long time, long enough to hear clearly the sound of a dull knife cutting into my heart.
I wish we can be together and never be separated. If we are separated, we wish to meet again.
I deeply believe that Cangcang and Xiaoman will get together
forever and ever
It doesn't matter whether it's a long review or not, whether Cangyang Gyatso and Xiaoman have a happy ending.
Life is too short. This is what I realized after watching Xiao Man. Regarding Buddhism, I also agree with what Linglong expressed for Tsangyang Gyatso in the book, especially the words he said when the old woman passed away and the living Buddha asked her grandson if he had ever thought about returning to secular life for his grandmother. Cultivation is in the heart and in life, and it depends on whether you have a kind heart. Whether you want to become a monk or not, or whether you want to convert, are not the only ways. This is also my experience as a Buddhist for many years.
Having a loving heart is more important than anything else.
In the end, I hope Linglong finds what she wants in her heart.
Linglong, although she had known for a long time that it would be such an ending, even though she told herself that they would meet again in the next life, just like before, her heart still felt uncomfortable and her eyes were still wet.
People with faith seem to have clean eyes, and their friends around them are religious and Buddhist, and I envy them. However, if they are just looking for someone to rely on to accompany them through the long night, I always feel that it is disrespectful to faith.
Finished it all today. I really like the light freshness...
Cangyang Gyatso Garden is located in the Alxa Left Banner of the Alxa League in Inner Mongolia, not Mongolia.
The aggregation of souls can make people spiritually sublime. This is the ending of the two people in the story.
