According to legend, Tsongkhapa was born on October 10, 1357 on the Tibetan calendar in "Tsongkhapa" (today's Huangzhong County, Qinghai Province, Tal Temple), so people respectfully called him "Tsongkhapa".

Tsongkhapa left his home to study the Dharma in Tibet for many years, and his mother, Shamsa Ache, was so eager to see her son that she sent a bunch of her own white hair to tell him that her mother was already gray, and hoped that he would come back for a meeting.
Tsongkhapa for the cause of Buddhism is determined not to return, to his mother and sister to bring a self-portrait painted with his own nosebleed and the lion's roar statue, and wrote in the letter: "If you can be in the place of my birth with 100,000 lion's roar statue and Bodhi tree for the fetus, to build a stupa, as if I meet." ?

Ghee flower?
Ghee is the Tibetan Plateau Tibetans and other pastoralists of the creamy food, is a yellowish-white fat raised by milk after repeated mixing. It is a yellowish-white fat made from milk after repeated mixing. This fat is solidified, soft, fine and highly malleable.
Ghee flower is the unique sculpture art of the Tibetan people, with white delicate ghee as raw material, mixed into a variety of mineral pigments made of subtle modeling, colorful soft, color varieties endless, full of auspicious and festive visual effects. Tibetan compatriots are convinced that all sincere joy to ghee flower offerings to the buddhas and buddhist bodhisattvas and dharma protector, can be restored to the disaster gain, will get peace and happiness, great happiness, etc., and the rapid achievement of the mattress doruo three contempt of three bodhi.
Lore has it that ghee flowers originated in Tibet, when Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married Songtsen Gampo, the King of the Turfan, she brought a statue of the Buddha from Chang'an and enshrined it in the Dazhao Monastery in Lhasa. The cold winter, no flowers to offer Buddha, believers in order to show respect, made of ghee flowers, enshrined in front of the statue of Buddha.
From then on into the Tibetan people's customs. 1594, ghee flowers to the Tal Temple, the temple monks painstakingly study, so that its subject matter and process on the new development, become unique to the Tal Temple, a superb oil sculpture art. Every year on the first day of the first month of the Lunar New Year Festival of Lights, art monks will elaborate ghee flowers on display in the temple, becoming an annual event in the temple.
Tal Temple ghee flower production, there is a complete set of institutions and scientific procedures. Temple set up two specialized production of ghee flower institutions, one called "Jiezong Zengzha", one called "Gongmeng Zengzha", commonly known as "on the flower yard" and "under the flower yard", the two flower yards compete with each other.
Each house has about twenty art monks, these art monks are generally in the age of fifteen or sixteen years old into the hospital, lifelong from the art. The upper and lower two flower yard respectively have director (called "palm ruler") presided over, decide the year ghee flower theme, composition, production division of labor and other matters.
The art of ghee flower inherited Tibetan Buddhist art "fine", "complex", "skillful" characteristics, its design, production since ancient times is the master and apprentice hand-to-hand, generally in a closed environment carefully made.
Because of the two flower hospitals in the subject matter and production process of mutual secrecy, blocking news, for a long time each have formed a certain independent school, they are in competition in the development of each year with a new look, the new technology to show their results. Now the main inheritors of the Tal Temple ghee flower production techniques are Zhaxi Nyima, Luo Zang Longzhu, Ga Zang Gatso, Gayang Xiehe, Zhihua Ruozi, etc.?
Ghee flower production cycle is long, complex processes, from the preparatory work (Tibetan calendar October) to the official exhibition (the first month of the fifteenth) lasted three months long. In order to make the ghee smooth and delicate, easy to operate, first of all, ghee immersed in ice water repeatedly scrubbing, kneading, remove impurities, increase the toughness, kneaded into a paste standby.?
Shaping before oil molding art monk first to bathe and make a wish, religious rituals. Ceremony, palm ruler lama and other artists monk together with the selection of the subject matter of the ghee flower, and then design the manuscript, carefully conceived, planning, layout, it is assigned to specialize in the characters, animals, flowers, architecture of the master led their apprentices, in the temperature below freezing in a cool room began to work separately.
First of all, according to the content of the proposed theme carefully tied the basic skeleton, with soft leather bundles, hemp rope, bamboo sticks and other things tied into different forms of large and small "skeleton", that is, the shape of the basic model.
The second is to shape the form, shaping the first raw material is used in the previous year to dismantle the old ghee flower mixed with wheatgrass ash, with a stick pounded into a hard and flexible black shaping putty, with this black putty in the skeleton shaped into a different form, the molding method similar to the face or clay sculpture. After the basic form is done, it must be modified and finalized by the lama who holds the ruler on the posture, size and proportion of the overall structure of the form to each other. The second raw material is processed into a paste of milky white ghee rubbed into the various colors of mineral pigments, blended into colorful oil plastic raw materials, carefully coated in the shape of a good shape on the face of the eyebrows, molded flowers point stamen, some special features should also be decorated with gold tracing silver, embellishment staining.
Finally shaping the good ghee flowers according to the overall requirements of the design, with wire one by one installed in place, that is, fixed in a few large wooden boards or special pots, high and low, pieces hanging, molded out of different sizes of the shape of the large to several meters of pavilions, Bodhisattvas, small to three to five centimeters of the flowers, birds, insects and fishes, to become the layout of a complete three-dimensional picture, realistic, lifelike.
The finished production of ghee flower picture to be forward about 20 degrees of obliquity, one is convenient for the viewer to raise their heads a little that can be viewed panoramic, and the second is afraid of ghee flower melting from top to bottom, above the melting liquid to get the flower below the modeling. Generally speaking, the good ghee flower, due to the influence of temperature, every one or two years to remodel.Because the melting point of ghee flower is very low, 15 degrees will be deformed, 25 degrees or so will melt, in order to prevent the effect of body temperature on the ghee flower, art monks in the pinching system before they have to soak their hands in the bone-chilling snow, in order to prevent the hand temperature to warm up, must be dipped in icy water from time to time, grabbing the ice cubes, so that the fingers to keep cold. As a result, each of the art monks suffers from varying degrees of arthropathy and even crippling...?
It would be difficult to do this without a devout heart for Buddha and dedication to religious art. Year after year, the gloomy flower room, lama art monks cold fingertips gurgling flow belonging to the warm colors of spring and dreams, in their hearts, ghee flowers are talking flowers, telling the earthly longing and the colorful world of Tibetan Buddhism, tells the beauty, tells the yearning.?
Ghee flowers, although the name is "flower", but its subject matter is diverse, rich in content, mainly to the gods and goddesses, ministers and military generals, birds and animals, birds, fish and insects, mountains and trees, flowers and bonsai, pavilions, etc., composed of a variety of storylines, complexity and simplicity, the layout of the large scattering of perspective, local focal point perspective, and the clever use of the three-dimensional sense of three-dimensionality to form complete three-dimensional picture.
Because it is not limited by time and space, the ghee flower color sculpture is especially good at showing complex plots with large scenes, inherited from the Buddhist mural "different times and same place" processing method, in a limited space dozens of storylines can be interspersed in a picture in the form of serial interludes, it looks busy but not chaotic, all in one.
The Pilgrimage at Tal Temple?
Defense of scripture, a Buddhist term, is a debate on Buddhist theory. That is, after studying the Buddhist scriptures, in order to strengthen the true understanding of the scriptures, monks use a question and answer or a question and answer or more questions and answers to exchange what they have learned and what they have realized about the Buddha's teachings, just like our academic discussions. It is a way for lamas to study the sutras.?
The Thar Monastery's sermon counseling takes place every day in classes between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.?
When I went to the place of the debate, I saw that most people have finished the debate, only one place, still in the fierce, two people debating very intense, very engaged, next to the onlookers of the monks are also gazing carefully listening. Feeling that they talk about very deep issues, the monks listening to the side, is also listening, while thinking about the rhythm. Although I could not understand what they were saying, but their temperament, let me feel, they are very wise, and the general monks are very different, can be said that the temperament is extraordinary.?After watching the defense of the sutra, I went up along the mountain to see those tiny halls, each with its own Buddha statue, many of which are about to close, by the monks on duty, the ghee lamps in the halls are extinguished, and the doors are locked.?
Panchan's residence is also on the mountain, did not go in, just outside to see. As the sky grew dim, I stood on this platform in the photo and looked down at the Thar Monastery complex below.?
At that moment, a little lama came, about 12 or 13 years old, and we smiled at each other and started a conversation.?
The young monk came in at the age of six, and has been studying, and his homework has gradually increased and become more difficult, however, his Chinese is not very good, and when I asked him more complicated questions, he did not understand, and it was at this point that a young adult lama came along to help us translate so that we could communicate. After that, I talked to him, his name is Ruzang Samdan and he is the highest student here. The temperament was very different from ordinary lamas, generous and wise.
Ruzang Samdan was holding a book on Japanese language learning, and he had done well in English, but now he was learning Japanese on his own.
I was curious to ask him about his studies here, but I didn't expect to get a short story out of it.
Ruzang Samdan was originally born in a small temple in the countryside, and has always been very studious. When there was not enough to learn in the temple, he wanted to come to Thar Monastery to study. When the knowledge available in the temple was insufficient, he thought of coming to Thar Monastery to study. So he took some offerings provided by the temple guests and went to Thar Monastery to pursue his studies. I didn't realize that the Thar Monastery has a strict system of recruiting monks, and that a situation like his, with no background and no pathway, would not be accepted at all.
Ruzang Samdan then has been in front of the Thar Monastery to meditate and memorize the scriptures, every day continued, did not pull down a day, wind and rain, never stop. Every day, the monks in the monastery would pass by the door, and as the days went by they all knew him, and several of the lamas in the monastery, who were the deciding authority, noticed him.?
Then the money for the offerings ran out, and, relying only on relief from his family or irregular offerings from others, Ruzang Samten often went hungry. I could feel that he was still saddened by this part of the story," he said.
One day, the head lama of the temple came to inform him that he could officially join the temple to study.
Some of the lamas in charge of the temple felt that Ruzang Samdan was so persistent and passionate about learning the Dharma that they were touched by his perseverance and determination. When some people objected to the idea, the head lama of the temple made it clear that those who had the opportunity to study in the temple didn't value it and didn't study well, and that Ruzang Samdan was so good at learning and so persistent that of course, we had to give him a chance to study. I believe he will be able to learn well.
I think that the person in charge of this is very discerning, and Ruzang Samdan is a person who loves to learn.
When I talked to Ruzang Samdan about what I had just seen, he said that the two men were his classmates, and that he had something to do today, so he didn't attend. No wonder, I just feel that his temperament is the same as theirs, it seems familiar...?
Ruzang Samdan still feels a little unbalanced about the fact that others are able to come in and study through a lot of informal ways, such as various connections, while he is so hard and tired, and regrets and feels bad about the unequal treatment and delay he suffered in those six months.
I saw things quite differently from Ruzang Samdan, and after thinking about it for a while, I said to him: you seem to have suffered a lot to be able to get the opportunity to study, but it was all gained by relying on your own strength, and these sufferings have also tempered your mind and become your wealth. Only what you obtain through your own efforts is truly yours and truly valuable. Those who can have a more convenient way to receive learning may seem easy, but for his own growth, there is no benefit to him.?
It felt as if Ruzang Samdan had listened to these words and accepted them. Afterwards, Ruzang Samdan invited me to see the place his family had bought. It turns out that there is some empty space in the Thar Monastery where the monks' families build houses as a place to stay when they come to visit the monks or for their friends, and it is usually traded and exchanged among the monks' families. I went with the twelve year old young monk and saw that the house was nice and could house several people, and Ruzang Samdan said I could stay here if I wanted to.?
Thinking about it for a moment, I was slightly scared to live here just by myself, and thought, if May would like to come along, we'll come along and feel what it would be like to live in the Thar Monastery. I told Ruzang Samdan that I hadn't informed my friend so I still had to go back to my friend's house, otherwise my friend would be worried, and if my friend could come along tomorrow then we would come along and stay for one night.?
Looking at the time, I offered to go back. Ruzang Samdan saw that I was interested in the rows of books he had put there, and he took out a book and said that he would give it to me, and I asked him to write his name on the book, and he wrote down his Chinese name and Tibetan name, and his postal address, and said that if there was anything he didn't understand, he could write to him and discuss it with him.
It also has his Japanese name on it?It was already dark, and I didn't know how I was going to get out of here if they didn't give me a ride. Ruzang Samdan and the young monk walked me all the way to the door and watched me walk away before they left in peace.
Coming home, May had been waiting for me for quite some time, she was really getting a bit worried, and it was a good thing that I came back in time, otherwise she was already wondering if she should ask her friends to inquire about my situation at the Tal monastery. I told her about the possibility of staying at the temple at night, she seemed quite distrustful and reassured that I would still feel unsafe living there alone, and forgot about the idea of going to stay...?
This book is one of Tsongkhapa's writings dedicated to the "wisdom of the center" in Buddhism, which is an important concept in Buddhism, and this book is very helpful in helping to understand this concept in depth. Thanks to Gyatso, with this book, I was able to open a window into Tibetan Buddhism. Tsongkhapa's study of Buddhism is profound, and his books can be very useful in helping to understand the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism in depth. Through the reading of this small book, I feel that Buddhism, founded by the Buddha, is very wise, and it looks very much like philosophy to me.
This was a brand new discovery, and I have been interested in Tibetan Buddhism ever since.
My trip to Tibet is destined to be a journey of deep understanding and exploration of Tibetan Buddhism. I look forward to my trip to Tibet.
Since then, there has been a firm intention that I will try my best to overcome even the greatest difficulties and take this trip!
I enjoyed today's journey, meeting two special and sincere friends and getting two meaningful books. These two books, still remain on my bookshelf!!!?
For travelers who love Buddhism, this is the ultimate big adventure, your mind will be cleansed in the ultimate way, it's all very weird and subtle, bringing you the shock and confidence of your life's journey.
