Green and simple place of practice

Qingpu cultivation site is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the valley is open to the south, facing the wide valley of the Yarlung Zangbo River. It is a place with beautiful scenery and climate because it lives deep in the mountains, has streams and dense vegetation, and is green and simple. It has no severe cold in winter and no severe heat in summer. It has a mild climate all the year round. This is probably the reason why many eminent monks and ordinary people have regarded it as a holy land for self-cultivation and Dharma enlightenment.

surrounding environment

The reason why Qingpu has become a holy land for people's flourishing cultivation is inseparable from the microclimate and environment here. Most of the mountains around Qingpu are barren hills with loess color. Only in this gully, trees are verdant, wild flowers are blooming, streams are murmuring, and birds live in groups. It is a scene of green water, green mountains, birds singing and fragrant flowers.

Lianhuasheng

(Sanskrit Padmasambhava), Indian monk. In the second half of the 8th century, Buddhism Tantra was introduced into Tibet. Tibetan Buddhism revered him as Luoben renboge (Zhifan Shibao), guru renboge (shizunbao) and Wujin renboge (wuzhannabao). It is commonly known as baimaijinai (lotus and peanut). He was born in the kingdom of Wuchang when he was the king protector of mogatuo. One said that he was the son of Indra Bodhi (the founder of Vajrayana in India, who wrote secret assembly). At first, it was named lianhuaguangming. Later, it was known as lianhuajingang. In addition, according to the true word ajari, there are three esoteric dharmas, namely, practice, practice and yoga, and the esoteric name is lianhuasheng. Later, he continued to learn the supreme Dharma from yogi Rakuten and yoga mother music. He once traveled around India and extensively visited master Mitha, and became one of the four disciples of foji Xiangzhi who had proved nirvana. He also learned Dharma from jichan master.

After learning Da Yuan man FA from master Ji Xiang, he went to Wutai Mountain in China to study astronomy and calendar. Therefore, the teaching method taught by lianhuasheng school has a strong color of handi Zen. After chidezuzan ascended the throne, he was recommended by Jihu to spread Buddhism in Tibet. When he entered Tibet, modern scholars have made many textual researches and come to different conclusions. He set out from India to Nepal in 750, went to Lhasa in 752, started to build the Samye temple in autumn, and completed it in 754. He organized translation from 761 to 774. He left Tibet in about 804 and built a temple in dharavida, India, for 12 years. I don't know where I'll end up in my old age. Because of his great contribution to Tibetan Buddhism, he is respected by all sects.

Santaraksita

(santiraksita 705-762), Indian Buddhist monk. Bihar, India. In his early years, he became a monk. He was a disciple of the five Buddhists of Qingbian, the founder of Mahayana Buddhism. He was well known in the Indian Buddhist circles at that time for his mastery of Yin Ming. He used to live in nalandao temple. In 743, he was invited by zanpuchidezuzan to preach in Tubo and presided over the translation of Buddhist classics into Tibetan in Lhasa. Because of the resistance of the religious forces, he stayed for 4 months, that is, he went to live in Nepal for 6 years. During this period, he recommended lianhuasheng to preach in Tubo. In 749, he came to Tubo again and presided over the first foundation worship ceremony of Sangye temple with Sangha organization. After the temple was built, he became a monk for seven noble children, known as "seven Jueshi". In 762, he was kicked by a horse and died in Chengfan. The argument of self continuation of the middle school advocated by him has a direct impact on some schools of Tibetan Buddhism of later generations. He is the author of the theory of photographing reality.

Trisong Detsen

(742-797) Zanpu, Tubo. Tang Tianbao 14 years (755) heir position. At the beginning of taking office, he appointed "three upholds and one theory" to assist the government, exterminate the rebel officials and Party members, and initially stabilize the situation in Tubo. In 755, "an Shi rebellion" occurred in the Central Plains and repeatedly violated the Tang Dynasty. In 757, the fourth alliance between the Tang and the Tibetan was held, which was the first alliance between the Tang and the Tibetan since chisongdezan came to power. In the first year of Guangde (763), Chisong Dezan united with Nanzhao, Dangxiang, Tuyuhun, Huidu and other tribes, and dazalugong, the Tubo general, led 200000 allied forces to attack Chang'an. During the period of chisongdezan, the Tubo Dynasty reached its peak, which was not only reflected in the powerful force, but also in his contribution to the internal affairs construction of Tubo Dynasty, the continuous introduction, learning and absorption of foreign culture, and the revitalization of Tubo Buddhist culture. In his later years, he handed over the royal power to his son munizanpu and went to suka to practice. In Tibetan history, Songzanganbu and chizudezan were called the three kings of Tubo.
