Chapter 106 Potala Palace
The six-character truth is still different in color. The ecstatic Zhang Ping can no longer take care of these and still has delusions. Can this Buddha statue give more feedback on the Buddha's light? Ha ha, this different color of light is strange. Zhang Ping doesn't know what to call it, so he has to call it Buddha's light.
However, what disappointed him was that since the engraving of the six-character truth entered the golden elixir, no matter how Zhang Ping acted, he could not trigger any vision. Finally, he had to stop, think carefully, and figured out a truth: Is it possible that the purpose of this Buddha statue is the universality of the Buddha's light, but anyone who already has the Buddha's light, The Buddha's light will no longer be given.
I think so. Zhang Ping found an answer by himself and left the Buddha statue with peace of mind. However, Zhang Ping's behavior inadvertently coincided with the quiet and natural thoughts of Buddhism, and also avoided some practice troubles that may occur because of greed.
Looking that it was getting late, Zhang Ping was worried that others would miss him and hurried to the place agreed in advance. Sure enough, everyone had arrived. When he came back, no one said anything about him, but Kexin asked him if he had seen anything interesting?
At night, he was still in the hostel in Basu County. When everyone fell asleep, Zhang Ping sneaked out and found a remote corner, digesting the shock brought by the six-character truth.
When Zhang Ping recites the truth and writes the corresponding truth in his hand, he can condense a beam of the corresponding color. After shooting, it can maintain a distance of about 3 meters, and then automatically dissipate. But when Zhang Ping aimed the beam of light at a stone, there was no response. I can't help but be surprised that this beam is so useless and not as groundbreaking as imagined.
Zhang Ping, who did not give up, aimed at the stone and made six-character mans in turn. As a result, it had no effect and he couldn't help but be discouraged. I didn't care about the truth when I was angry. I just carried up the power of the stars and condensed the palm of my hand. With a coax, the stone was torn apart. What's more terrible is that the stone was actually as if it had been run over, and the broken stone became a pile of small stone particles.
Zhang Ping smiled with satisfaction, which was the effect he wanted, but it seemed that he was not so powerful before, but it was smashed so completely. Ha ha, it seems that these six-character truth is not useless. At least on the golden elixir, the power and speed are much more abnormal.
In fact, if Zhang Ping calms down and observes carefully, he will find that every time he makes a truth attack, the texture of the stone will be slightly softer, and the surface will be covered with fine cracks. This is also the main reason why he finally became so powerful.
After the test, Zhang Ping slipped back, and the old Gu in his room was still snoring.
The next morning, Lao Gu woke up the crowd and prepared to go. There is still a day and a half to reach Lhasa. This is the place where Ouyang's father stayed for the longest time after entering Tibet. Will the secret be here?
There was no accident on the road this time. The group successfully arrived at Lhasa, a magical city located on the roof of the world.
According to Ouyang Qing learned from his father's words, the first thing to find on this trip to Tibet is his father's guide, Sanjie Renba. This Sanjie Renba lived on Bajiao Street in Lhasa. Ouyang Qiang entered Tibet twice, and the guide was him. Therefore, if you want to know what happened, this person is undoubtedly the key point. The second is the Potala Palace. Several times, Ouyang heard his father muttering about the Buddha Hall of the Holy Palace. In Tibet, what other place is more qualified to be called the Holy Palace than the Potala Palace?
While the night was not dark, a group of people came to watch the night view of the Potala Palace first.
At the beginning of the lights, Lhasa City said goodbye to the noise of the day and was immersed in a dim light. From afar, the Potala Palace on the Red Mountain is magnificent and magnificent, like a fairyland on earth, appearing in the vast and deep canopy.
The white wall, the red palace, the golden palace roof, and the five-color prayer flags fluttering in the wind, shine a holy light all over the body under the light of more than a dozen huge lights.
The southern end of the square is the highest monument in the world - the Monument for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet. It was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the peaceful liberation of Tibet. The shape of the monument is an abstracted Mount Everest, highlighting a kind of towering momentum and eternity with heaven and earth.
In the middle of the square is a music fountain. The fairy music is fluttering, and the water columns are rising one after another. Tourists and citizens play, lingerling back and forth. It is really a paradise on earth.
The first time I saw her, the Potala Palace attracted the souls of many people with her charming night. Looking at Kexin's intoxicated appearance, she knew that they had fallen into the heavenly dream of the Potala Palace.
The next day, he woke up from his dream. As discussed before, Zhang Ping went to the Potala Palace to see if he could find any clues, but Tao Yuner also followed them. Ouyang Qing took his son Sheng Liu Dahai and Lao Gu to find Sangjie Renba. As for the two foreigners who came to Lhasa, are they afraid that there is no shooting theme they are interested in?
The Potala Palace was built in the 7th century AD and has a history of more than 1,300 years. It is more than 3,700 meters above sea level, covering a total area of more than 360,000 square meters. It is 360 meters long from east to west and 270 meters long from north to south. The main building has 13 floors and is 117 meters high. It is the highest magnificent building in the world, integrating palaces, castles and monasteries.
According to legend, Songzan Gampo, the Tibetan king of Tibet, was good at Buddhism. After moving to the capital of Lhasa, he often recited scriptures and prayed on the mountain near Lhasa and named the mountain "Budala." "Pudala" is a Sanskrit phonetic translation, translated as "Puthara" or "Putu", which originally referred to the place where Guanyin Bodhisattva lived. Its main building is mainly divided into two parts: one is the place where the Dalai Lama lives and does political activities, and the other is the pagoda of the Dalai Lama and various Buddhist temples. In 641 A.D., after Songzan Gampo married Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, he was overjoyed and built the Potala Palace for the princess. The Potala Palace built in those years was plagued by thunder and lightning and war. It went through all the vicissitudes of life and was dilapidated. Only the Dharma King's Cave and the main hall, Pabalakang, were left. The current Potala Palace has been rebuilt since the 17th century.
From afar, the Potala Palace is surrounded by heavy white walls, like a holy city surrounded by countless Hada, and like a snowy mountain standing under the blue sky and white clouds. The Potala Palace is divided into two parts, the Red Palace and the White House, which are made of large and small granite. From the outside, the 100-meter-high wall is as flat as a knife, which is amazing. The wall foundation built deep into the rock layer on the Red Mountain is up to more than 5 meters. When it gradually shrinks to the top of the palace, the wall is only about 1 meter thick, and iron juice is also injected into the interlayer of some walls to prevent earthquakes.
In the face of this majestic building, anyone has to look up at it, and there is an inexplicable feeling of worship from their hearts.
Slowly with the flow of people entering the gate, the vision is suddenly bright. What you can see is a large square. Unfortunately, there are many tourists and crowds, the whole square looks noisy and messy.
In the middle is the Red Palace, which is mainly a place of religious activities and a spiritual tower. The buildings are mainly various Buddhist halls and spiritual pagodas of dl lamas. There are eight spiritual towers in the palace that store the Dharma bodies of dl lamas of various generations. Among them, the spiritual tower of the fifth dl lamas is the largest and most gorgeous. This is a large golden pagoda built up and down three stories high in the hall. It is 14.85 meters high. The shape of the tower is similar to the usual pagoda, but it is all inlaid with gold leather from top to bottom, inlaid with countless gems. This tower alone uses 110,000 taels of gold. 18,677 pearls, gemstones, corals, amber, agate, etc.
On both sides is the White House. The White House is 7 stories high and is the Winter Palace of the dl lama. Since the completion of the White House, the fifth dl lama has moved here from Drepung Temple until his death. Since then, dl lamas have used the Potala Palace as a place for their own residence and religious activities, so the Potala Palace has become a holy place for lamas and religious people to worship.
Located on the fourth floor of the White House, the Silent Perfection Hall is a place for dl lamas to hold major religious and political activities such as bed sitting and pro-government ceremony. It is also the largest hall of the White House in the Potala Palace, covering an area of 717 square meters. The 5th and 6th floors are the office and living rooms of the dl lama. The 7th floor at the highest point is two sets of dl lamas' winter living palaces. Because the sun shines all day long, it is called the East and West Sun Halls.
There is a continuous flow of people, and I can only hear the voices of the tour guides in my ears, constantly introducing how much gold these things have been used and how many treasures they have, and there is no lack of pride in words.
Fang Kexin couldn't help admiring: "No wonder the Potala Palace will become the faith and pride of the whole Lhasa people and a symbol of the whole Tibetan spirit. This entry seems to be possessed, and it can't help but have an impulse to worship."
Sun Meixiang also agreed with her statement, and Tao Yuner said, "Just looking at these open halls are so luxurious, I don't know how magnificent those unopened halls are."
Zhang Ping looked at those rare treasures coldly and couldn't help sighing, "Look at this luxury and style. There are golden walls everywhere. This is really heaven. It's a pity that it's just a lama's paradise!"
The other three women are thoughtful and can't help looking around. This Potala Palace is simply made of gold and precious stones. There are too many treasures. There are pure gold altar cities for visitors only, Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is naturally formed by sandalwood, which is known as the treasure of the palace. The Buddha statue is worshipped with a face of charity, eyebrows and posture. It is well-proportioned, with beautiful finger posture, exquisite crown decoration, inlaid with countless turquoise, turquoise, ruby, sapphire, gold, emerald, jade, diamonds, pearls, corals, which are breathtaking.
The pearl stupa made of 200,000 pearls given by the Empress Dowager Cixi, the "recitation of lotus" of Qianlong's pen, Tangka murals, Tibetan scriptures, religious utensils, antique calligraphy and paintings, under the background of ghee lighting and smoke, and the induction of the "six-character truth" from the heart of countless pilgrims, have become mysterious and solemn. And the solemn atmosphere makes people feel as if they have entered the Buddha's paradise from the moment they entered the door of the White House.
Zhang Ping is no longer the carelessness of the past. He sighed solemnly: "I finally understand why the Potala Palace is the spiritual home in the minds of Tibetans and more people. Looking at this kind of elaborate aura, a secular person can't get rid of it at all. As long as he comes in, he can't escape the impulse of salute and worship. Those Tibetans may only worship it from afar, but in their hearts, it is a paradise that they must reach all their lives.
Ke Xin pulled his arm and said anly with a smile, "Come on, don't be sour. Look at those spiritual towers. What's written on them? I can't even understand them.
