After losing his wife, children, army, territory, tribes, and wealth, Troos Galdan, who experienced ups and downs of suffering, finally realized the truth. He finally wanted to understand what the four elements are empty, what form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.
So after he fled to Suiye City with a few of his followers, he attained enlightenment in a small Buddhist temple in Suiye City. Later, the former deputy khan of Mongolia announced to Yin Feng, Kong Shenggong, and the thousands of subordinates who followed him that he really wanted to give up everything in the world this time, become a monk again, and become an eminent monk. .
Since he was an eminent monk, Galdan certainly couldn't stay in Suiye all the time. It was an important place for Confucianism, with Confucian halls and academies everywhere, and there was no Buddhist atmosphere at all. Moreover, Kong Shenggong and his group of Confucian scholars with axes stuck in their belts and sticks in their hands did not look like "good Confucians" who were gentlemen but did not use their hands. And the Mongolian monks who became monks with Galdan were all Dharma protectors. If the two groups of people fight in Suiye Mansion City, it will damage the harmony.
Therefore, Galdan decided to follow the example of Tang Sanzang, the Tang monk who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and also to go to India to obtain the true scriptures. However, he did not take the monkey, pig head and monk Sha with him. He only rode a big white horse and led 1,800 wandering monks (all original Junggar warriors) to start his journey to the West to learn scriptures.
Of course, even if you eat his meat, you won’t live forever. Moreover, his second junior brother is Sangye Gyatso, the Monk King of the Snow Land, his third junior brother is the Mongolian Holy Lord Kang Mazi, and his ex-wife is the beloved concubine of the Emperor of Heaven, the American lady Anu. His son is King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, and his daughter is Queen Yeerqiang of the Ming Dynasty and the concubine of the Dharma King Zhu Yiyin of the Ming Dynasty... With this background, even monsters and monsters have to take a detour when they see him!
Moreover, he was followed by 1,800 cavalry monks wearing chain armor, carrying knives and grenades on their waists, and carrying flintlock rifles on their shoulders... He looked like an eminent monk at first glance, and everyone was convinced. !
So this great monk spent several years traveling around India and Afghanistan, visiting Buddhist holy places, and pursuing Buddhist truths that had long been lost in the long river of history. Moreover, he didn't care whether the people he visited believed in Buddhism or not, or whether they could understand his Sanskrit and Mongolian. Every time he visited a holy place, he would open a forum there to preach and promote the great principles of Buddhism. It's quite a bit like eminent monks.
This Galdan first preached at the Giant Buddha Grottoes in the Bamiyan Valley in Afghanistan, and also asked a large group of Afghan bearded men who did not understand Sanskrit and Mongolian to listen to his brother Kang Mazi's preaching—— Everyone must listen honestly, and after listening, each person will be given a silver rupee and go home, otherwise... he will be the enemy of Buddha, a demon, and will be shot!
After being inspired in Bamiyan, the great monk Galdan went to the Lumbini Garden in Nepal and preached at the place where the Buddha was born. The Malla Dynasty in Nepal believed in Hinduism, but they did not dare to offend the snow in the north. The Domain Monk King and Kangxi Khan in the west, otherwise both sides would fight together, and even Lord Shiva would not be able to save them. So the people of the Malla Dynasty also treated Galdan as a holy monk and coaxed him...
After "playing" in Nepal, Galdan took his cavalry monk to Bodh Gaya, where the Buddha became enlightened, and preached under a Bodhi tree.
Bodh Gaya is located in the southeast of Nepal and is considered the territory of the Hindustan Empire. However, the rule of the Hindustan Empire was very loose. Only the Bengal area was under the direct jurisdiction of the empire. The rest of the country was ruled by princes or governors who were close to kings. Of course, these princes and governors were unwilling to offend Kang Mazi... so they let Galdan pretend to be a holy monk and sent a group of dark Sudras to listen. However, these princes and governors will not give money to Sudras. They will only let their subordinates and Sudras say that the big, white bald head is a Brahmin from Mongolia! This is a friendly visit from foreign Brahmins to India. As Shudras, they must be well entertained. This is a good thing with boundless merit!
After preaching at the place where the Buddha was born, Galdan went to Varanasi on the bank of the Ganges to preach at Sarnath, where the Buddha often visited during his lifetime.
After that, Galdan traveled to Savatthi City and Rajagaha City, where the Buddha always lived, and preached beside the ruins of Gion Vihara and Bamboo Grove Vihara.
Later we went to Kushinara where the Buddha attained Nirvana... and finally we went to the ruins of Nalanda Temple.
The princes and governors of the Indian states who ruled those places were also greeted by Kang Mazi and asked them to play with Galdan... It must be said that Kang Mazi was very fond of Gal who wanted to become a Buddha. Dan still values love and justice, and he always feels that Galdan's "becoming a Buddha" is a great thing!
When Kang Mazi's envoy found him, the great monk was visiting the Kingdom of Japur on the Deccan Plateau. At the same time, he led 1,300 cavalry monks to beg for alms from the ruler of the Tianfang Sect there - not for himself. , but for alms to rebuild Nalanda Temple!
Look, what a great merit this is! But Sikandar Adil Shah, the Sultan of Jaipur, was so moved that he decisively donated three million silver rupees to Galdan to build the Nalanda Temple.
After being summoned by Kangxi Khan, Galdan, who had become a "holy monk", did not dare to delay, and rushed non-stop to Pingtian Mansion in Nanjing. Finally, he met Sangji Gyatso, the monk king of the Snow Land, who came quietly. Entering the Forbidden City of Nanjing in Mongolia.
"Second Senior Brother, I heard that you preached sermons all over India and won countless believers for our Buddha. You have great momentum to revive Buddhism. You are really a great merit. I also heard that there are many believers in Nepal and Bihar. I have already called you a holy monk... It seems that the second senior brother is expected to become a Buddha, so I am happy to congratulate you!"
"I didn't expect that in today's Dharma-ending period in India, where outsiders are rampant and evil masters preach like the sand of the Ganges, my junior brother can actually establish my Dharma on my own... It seems that my junior brother has received the master's mantle and true inheritance. , I will definitely be able to attain enlightenment and become a Buddha in the future!”
"Senior Brother and Third Junior Brother, you are ridiculous. How could this poor monk single-handedly promote Buddhism in India? Without the magnificent martial arts of Third Junior Brother, the princes of the Hindu and Tianfang Sect would have torn the poor monk into pieces. In addition, the senior brother has been sending monks to India to spread Buddhism in the past two years, right? The poor monk came from the summer resort and saw no less than ten newly built monasteries along the way. Is it all the merit of the senior brother? It seems that Senior brother and third junior brother will also become Buddhas in the future."
"That's right, after our three brothers and sisters live forever, we will all be Buddhas!"
"Hahaha...Amitabha!"
In a Buddhist temple located in the bastion of the Forbidden City, Kang Mazi, who was wearing a monk's robe, was complimenting each other with his two monk brothers.
But having said that, the three of them did play a major role in the resurgence of Buddhism in India. Even if you cannot become a Buddha, it is not a big problem to achieve the fruit of Bodhisattva.
First, Kang Mazi conquered a large territory in northwest India and killed Aurangzeb, who was feared by all Indians.
Of course, Kang Mazi did not force the spread of Buddhism after entering India, but the living environment of Indian Buddhism has been greatly improved because of his victory... After all, people are eager to be strong, and India already has it. The tradition of belief comes from the barrel of a gun, and the belief in Brahman and Tianfang religion was promoted by the conquerors. Historically, the great rise of Buddhism in India is inseparable from the vigorous promotion of King Asoka.
Secondly, Sangye Gyatso is the ancestral Buddha. He has no other talents under his command, but there are many talents for preaching and preaching. Moreover, he himself was the Monk King of the Snowy Land canonized by the Ming Dynasty. Even in the Hindustan Empire, he was on an equal footing with Wu Guogui. Therefore, who on the ground in India could not give face to the sangha he sent?
If you don’t give face, won’t you still have Galdan?
Third, Galdan is a reckless man who charges into battle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hit Kang Mazi's empire with his bald head over and over again in history, and ended up with a bloody head... But this time he had Kang Mazi in the background, and The Ming Dynasty also encouraged its monks to go to India to preach, so everyone gave in to him. Moreover, he also has 1,300 cavalry monks under him - they are the elites who have followed Galdan in conquests for many years and spent the rest of their lives in countless battles, and they are all foolhardy people who really believe that Galdan is the Buddha.
Although the number is not large, it is enough to deal with the princes of the princes in India and the governor of Hindustan on the separate side.
With the cooperation of Kangxi Khan, Sangye Gyatso and Galdan, Buddhism in India has indeed shown signs of revival in recent years.
In Kangxi Khan's plan, Buddhists were the real "own people"...
However, Kangxi Khan brought Sangyi Gyatso and Galdan to Pingtian Mansion in Nanjing today not to arrange new missionary tasks, but to make secret peace with Zhu Heji.
"Brother, you said in your letter last time that the Ming Emperor no longer plans to expand towards the Indian Ocean?" Kangxi Khan changed the subject and turned directly to Zhu Heji's expansion.
"Yes, they will not expand any more, not only in the direction of the Indian Ocean, but also in the direction of the Kazakh grasslands." Sanji Gyatso nodded, "The Ming Dynasty is already big enough, and the Han people How big is the population? If it continues to expand, it won’t be able to absorb it. This is not something that the Han people can do with a small number of people."
Galdan snorted coldly: "The Han people already occupied the best land in the world, but they were not satisfied. They expanded so much territory into our Mongolian land, and even sent troops and ministers to the snow-covered plateau. It also occupies a lot of land in Nanyang, and I heard that it also occupies a large piece of land in the New World... and I am not afraid of dying!"
Kangxi knew that Galdan was speaking out of anger, so he did not answer his question, but continued to ask Sanji Gyatso: "Elder brother, do you know that the Ming Dynasty established an Indian trading company not long ago... .. Huang Zhisheng, the young minister of Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty, is still running between Hindustan, Persia, and the Ottoman Empire, and seems to be promoting an alliance against our great Mongolia."
Sanji Gyatso said: "As far as I know, this alliance is not to deal with the Mongols, because the Ming Dynasty itself will not join this alliance. This alliance will only include the Ottoman Empire, Persia, Hindustan, and other countries that have not surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Countries with Tianfang religion as their state religion joined. Zhu Heji's purpose in promoting the establishment of this alliance was to allow the Hindustan Empire to finance the Ottoman Empire and the Frank Empire to fight. As long as the Ottoman Empire can support it, the Ming Dynasty can stay out of it and sell some weapons at most. gunpowder.
Moreover... the Emperor of Heaven also hopes that Mongolia can stay out of the matter and not join forces with European Christians to deal with the Ottoman Empire. Because once the Ottomans collapse, Ming Dynasty will be forced to intervene in Indian affairs! "
"Elder brother," Galdan next to him frowned and interjected, "How do you know Zhu Heji's thoughts so well? Are you the roundworm in Zhu Heji's belly?"
Sanji Gyatso smiled and said: "Second Junior Brother, of course these are things that the Ming Emperor wanted the poor monk to know!"
"What?" Galdan was stunned, "Senior Brother, do you still have contact with Zhu Heji?"
"This..." Sangyi Gyatso seemed to have something to say that was inconvenient to say.
Kangxi Khan quickly interjected: "Second Senior Brother, now neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Mongolia Dynasty can eat the other, but they are close together, so of course they have to have some contact... Don't get to the bottom of it."
Of course Kang Mazi knew that there was a communication channel between Sangji Gyatso and Zhu Heji. In fact, this Sangji Gyatso was also the communication channel between Zhu Heji and Kangxi!
However, there is no need to hide these things from Galdan. The person who needs to be hidden from Galdan is the person who bridged the gap between Sanji Gyatso and Zhu Heji, Galdan's ex-wife Anu.
Kang Mazi added: "First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Leona and Dejiamagala are negotiating a secret agreement with me these days. It is a secret agreement to deal with the Ottomans and contain the Ming Dynasty. They want to help me develop the navy and wait for the Ming Dynasty. After the navy rises, support me in sending troops to seize the Ottoman Empire's ports in the Indian Ocean, so as to cut off the Ottoman Empire's foreign aid! Do you think we should talk to the Ming Dynasty about this matter?"
Galdan snorted, noncommittal.
Sangyi Gyatso nodded and said: "We have to get some relief... It's better to make a secret agreement! Those who believe in God are actually very narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others who believe in a different god than them. . We have to be careful about them! Moreover, the Ming Dynasty does not need Indian goods, they can produce them themselves, but those Westerners are shipping things home from the Ming Dynasty, India, and Southeast Asia, and they still take real gold. In exchange for silver, I don’t believe this can last long!”
Of course Sanji doesn't understand economics. What he said was told to him by Anu in the letter, and of course Anu knew this from Zhu Heji.
Kangxi Khan nodded and whispered: "Elder brother is right... Westerners can't help but spend it like this even if they have gold and silver. Once they run out of gold and silver, they will come and rob them." ! Fortunately, Osman is at the front, so we won’t be able to get ahead of us for a while. Senior brother, please take a trip to the Ming Dynasty Nanjing City!"
"Okay!" Sangyi Gyatso smiled, "The poor monk will leave for Ming Dynasty now!"
