Martial Arts: Starting from Fuwei Escort

Chapter 56 The Born Saint, Tantric Phagpa (fourth)

Kublai Khan learned that there was actually a true Buddha of Buddhism in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, so he sent someone to invite him.

The Mongolian envoy came to the Sakya Monastery at the foot of Benbo Mountain in Shigatse, Tibet, and invited "Basiba" to enter Kaiping City to serve as the Mongolian national teacher, but "Basiba" refused with a smile.

"The purpose of the envoy's visit, I know all about it, but I don't know martial arts, how can I defeat that Qiu Immortal?"

Basiba sits cross-legged, holding flowers and smiling under the seat of Sakyamuni Golden Buddha in Sakya Monastery.

"Isn't the living Buddha comprehending the Buddhism of Esoteric Buddhism not as good as the true immortals of the Taoists of the Song Dynasty?"

The Mongolian envoy frowned aggressively.

"Infinite Life Buddha!"

Ba Siba's eyes are as pure as a baby's, the corners of his mouth are smiling, his treasure face is solemn, and his hands form the mahamudra of the Tantric mantra.

"Esoteric Buddhism, broad and profound!"

"The little monk has studied enlightenment since he was a child, but he only got a glimpse of the corner of the glacier. There is still a thousand miles away from reaching the other shore and becoming a Buddha. How can he leave the temple? Please go back and tell the Khan. If you are not a little monk, you don't want to work for the Khan. It is really powerless. Please forgive me!"

The Mongolian envoy stayed in Sakya Monastery for three days, saying all kinds of good things and promising all kinds of benefits, but Basiba was unmoved.

Three days later, the Mongolian envoy was so angry that he suddenly drew out his scimitar and wanted to slash at Basiba.

"Wang!"

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderous roar in the Sakya Monastery, as if a monster in the snowy mountain had revived. The Mongol envoy trembled in fright, and almost didn't hold his scimitar tightly.

He looked back, and saw a mastiff walking slowly in the corner of the blue and white brick wall. Its hair was black and shiny, and it was as big as a lion. With a pair of eyeballs, it was staring at the Mongolian envoy, as if warning him.

So weird!

That mastiff seems to understand human nature, the Mongolian envoy actually understood the eyes of the mastiff.

"Gee chi."

At the same time, on the top of the blue and white brick wall of Sakya Monastery, there was suddenly the sound of chirping birds. In the shocked eyes of the Mongolian envoy, birds circled and flew over, covering the top of the blue and white brick wall, and pairs of smart eyeballs warned him.

Dharma!

The Mongolian envoys felt the Dharma.

This Basiba is really extraordinary, he seems to have no martial arts, but in fact he is profound in Buddhism, he has influenced the beasts and voluntarily protects him.

The Mongolian envoy was overjoyed and believed that Basiba had great Buddhist powers and would definitely be able to defeat the true Taoist immortal, so he begged hard, hoping that Basiba could come down the mountain to help Mongolia.

"You Khan, if you come to the Sakya Monastery for a pilgrimage to see the Buddha in person, I will be willing to go out of the mountain."

Ba Siba smiled.

"impossible!"

The Mongolian envoy flatly refused.

What a hero Mongolian Khan is, how could he come to Sakya Monastery to pay homage to Phagsiba? It is really rude.

Ba Siba smiled: "You take back the little monk's request and see what Khan will choose?"

The Mongolian envoy left.

When he returned to Kaiping City, Kublai Khan personally received him, and when the Mongolian envoy finished talking about his experience in Tibet, all the kings and nobles of the clan protested loudly in the Mongolian palace in Kaiping City, saying that Basiba was unreasonable and that they should send troops to conquer, so that the Tibetan Tantra could know the greatness of Changshengtian.

However, Kublai Khan carefully inquired about Phagspa's remarks, and learned that Phagspa had mastiff dogs and spirit birds to protect the Dharma. He confirmed that Phagspa was a living Buddha of Tantric Buddhism, and it was worth his trip.

"Since he wants Ben Khan to go in person, then Ben Khan will go to Sakya Monastery and have a meeting with the true Buddha of Tantric Buddhism!"

A group of Mongolian nobles persuaded, but Kublai Khan made up his mind and led tens of thousands of cavalry to go south.

When he entered Tibet and arrived at the Sakya Monastery, it was already spring and Bhaspa was chanting sutras around the lake.

In Shigatse, there is a holy lake named "Yamdrok Yongcuo", which means "the turquoise earrings scattered by the goddess", and it is called "Yanghu Lake" in later generations. It is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet.

When Kublai Khan arrived on horseback, what he saw was something he would never forget in his life.

I saw a young and handsome Tantric monk walking along the holy lake, and his solemn and solemn chanting and Sanskrit singing filled the whole holy lake.

In the blue sky, countless birds circled, chasing each other's footprints of young monks, flying along the holy lake.

Kublai Khan had sharp eyes, and among those birds, he saw goshawks coexisting with birds without predation.

It's like goshawks and birds, all baptized by Sanskrit, coexist harmoniously with each other, and understand the true meaning of Buddhism that all beings are equal.

Amazing.

But what is even more amazing is that the lawn around the holy lake is densely packed with animals.

Snow leopards, argali, goats, otters, wild donkeys, blue sheep, gazelle, roe deer, etc., all the animals that live in the snow-covered plateau, filled the lawn around the holy lake, lying quietly on each other, listening with ears pricked up, like monks listening to the Dharma.

The snow leopard and the argali lay side by side, and the wild wolf and the snow rabbit cuddled together. The scene was so amazing that Kublai Khan and the others were all stunned.

In the green and holy lake, there are layers of white waves, and countless big fish jump out of the lake, shining in the sun, chasing the footprints of young monks and accepting the baptism of Buddhism.

Solemn, holy, soul shocking.

Before entering Tibet, a group of Mongolian nobles still complained about Basiba.

You can see this miraculous scene with your own eyes.

All the Mongolian nobles were in awe, thinking that Basiba was the living Buddha of Tantric Buddhism, and they dared not show any disrespect.

Even Kublai Khan was overjoyed, thinking that Ba Siba possessed great Dharma, and would definitely defeat Qiu Mingxuan, help him rule the world and establish supreme achievements.

Kublai Khan waited on horseback, not daring to go up to disturb him. When the evening fell and the night fell, he set up a tent by the holy lake. He waited for three days and three nights, and the Buddhist and Sanskrit sounds in the world stopped abruptly. A young and handsome Tantric monk came slowly.

"Buddha of Infinite Life, I have seen Supreme Khan. (Mongolian)"

Basiba pays homage.

"Living Buddha is exempt from ceremony. (Tibetan)"

In the king's tent, Kublai Khan sat cross-legged on the ground, with a smile on his mouth, speaking Tibetan with Basiba, his words were very proficient, and Basiba was amazed and praised, so the two began to talk.

Phagpa's Dharma is profound, and Kublai Khan's talent is brilliant. The two talked about Buddhism and miscellaneous studies, and they often had amazing words, which made Phagpa repeatedly praise Kublai Khan for his great Buddha's fate and great wisdom.

As a result, Kublai Khan and Phagspa became more and more friendly, and the two returned to Sakya Monastery. Phagspa gave Kublai Khan the "Vajra Empowerment Ceremony" to bless the light of Buddhist wisdom, and Kublai Khan regarded Phagspa as his "guru".

It means "Supreme Merit, Supreme Consummation, Supreme Authority, Supreme Wisdom" Dharma guide.

"Khan, the little monk has been practicing since childhood, but he only comprehended the Buddhadharma, and only practiced the "Yoga Tantra."

"If Khan is willing, please wait for a while, little monk, and after the little monk has practiced the supreme Dharma protection skills of my esoteric sect, then go to the Central Plains to find that Taoist real person to discuss the law, how about it?"

Kublai Khan nodded with a smile, "Master, Ben Khan doesn't care about waiting for a while, please rest assured to practice, Master."

"Thank you Khan for your understanding."

In this way, the tantric sage "Ba Siba" suddenly walked down the Sakya Monastery as Kublai Khan's "Guru", rode a yak, followed Kublai Khan all the way north, and returned to Kaiping City.

Along the way, Ba Siba was not idle, comprehending Tantric martial arts, and his martial arts advanced rapidly, which shocked Kublai Khan as a celestial being, and repeatedly praised the master's profound Dharma.

Entering Kaiping City, Basiba shook his head silently, and suddenly said: "Although this capital is prosperous, it cannot bear the fortune of the great Mongolian country. If the Khan wants to establish a supreme achievement, he needs to find another capital."

Kublai Khan was surprised, and after pondering, he chose to believe in Ba Siba and entrusted the matter to Ba Siba.

Ba Siba readily agreed, lived in Kaiping City for a few days, listened to the wind, rain, birds, observed the mountains and rivers, and suddenly walked out of Kaiping City and came to a place.

I saw that at the intersection of the Mongolian grassland, the Northeast Plain, and the North China Plain, there is a treasure land of geomantic omen, forming a peculiar terrain of tigers and dragons, with the veins of potential dragons.

Going further to the east, there is a sea of ​​waves, which the Han people call "Bohai Sea".

Basiba measured it on foot, traveled every inch of this geomantic treasure land, and finally confirmed that there is a "vein of the real dragon" here, which must be very expensive in the future, so he drew a circle on the map to confirm the location of the capital of the new dynasty, and went back to report to Kublai Khan.

"Yandu?"

Kublai Khan was surprised that this was the accompanying capital of the Liao Kingdom.

And the direction drawn by Ba Siba is to build another capital city with the Li Palace of the Kingdom of Jin as the center.

Even the specific planning drawings were made, which only made Kublai Khan praise again and again.

"Dadu?"

Seeing the Tibetan characters on the drawings, Kublai Khan was surprised and asked what it meant.

"Dadu means "the place where the Khan lives" in Turkic. When the Khan rebuilt the new capital, it should no longer be called a certain city, but should be called "the capital", which means that the Khan changed his dynasty and unified the world."

Kublai Khan nodded, his eyes sparkling.

He likes to read and knows the culture of the Central Plains very well. After inheriting the throne of the Mongolian Khan, he naturally wants to unify the Kyushu and the world and become a supreme emperor, surpassing his father and ancestors.

"Change the dynasty, change the dynasty..."

Kublai Khan murmured, and suddenly made up his mind to create a great dynasty belonging to the Mongols.

The Khitans can do it, the Jurchens can do it, why can't the Mongols do it?
This founding emperor, he is determined!

However, Kublai Khan lowered his head and saw the Tibetan characters on the drawing, and suddenly poured a basin of cold water on the lofty ambition that had just risen.

He rides Mongolian iron cavalry across the world, but he is born as a savage, without a system of etiquette and culture, how can he change the dynasty?
"It would be great if we Mongolians had our own script."

Kublai Khan stretched out his finger and groped for the Tibetan text on the blueprint, his eyes showed hope.

"What's so difficult about this?"

Ba Siba held the flowers and smiled.

"Khan gave me a few days, and the monk created his own set of characters for the Mongolians."

"Master's words are serious?" Kublai Khan said pleasantly.

Creating a set of words out of thin air is no small matter, it requires supreme wisdom and supreme opportunity.

Although Phagpa is a Living Buddha of Esoteric Buddhism, the Dharma is vast and profound, but it also surprised Kublai Khan.

"Naturally."

So, Bhasiba returned to his residence, and suddenly retreated for nine days. Based on the Tibetan alphabet, he created a set of Mongolian characters.

Moreover, this set of "Basiba characters" can not only spell Mongolian, but also "translate all characters", which made Kublai Khan and the Mongolian kings and nobles very excited and proud.

In fact, this is also the first Chinese pinyin scheme on the land of China.

This thing is done.

Phagsiba's prestige became more and more grand in the Mongolian Empire, and he became a "Guru Living Buddha" respected by everyone.

All the kings including "Ali Buge" and "Wokuotai Family" offered gold and gemstones and other heavy gifts, intending to build a Tantric temple for Bhaspa and shape his golden body and Dharma appearance.

Later, Basiba helped Kublai Khan formulate a new system of etiquette and culture, built the "Yuan Dadu" for Kublai Khan, helped Kublai Khan move his capital to Yuan, and established the "Great Yuan Dynasty".

In order to appreciate Phagpa's merits, Kublai Khan declared "Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism" as the state religion of the Yuan Dynasty after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

After doing all these, Ba Siba's merits and virtues were complete, so he asked for an order to go south and came to Xiangyang City alone, ready to discuss the law with Qiu Mingxuan and get rid of the last confidant enemy for Kublai Khan.

A battle between Buddhism and Taoism has set off a big curtain!
