From "That Life" by Tsangyang Gyatso
Author: Tsangyang Gyatso (the Sixth Dalai Lama)
The full poem is as follows:
That day, I closed my eyes in the fragrant mist of the prayer hall
Suddenly I heard the mantra in your chant
That month, I shook all the prayer wheels< /p>
Not for salvation, just to touch your fingertips
That year, I kowtowed and prostrated on the mountain road
Not for audience, just to stick to your face Warmth
In that life, I walked around mountains, rivers, and pagodas
Not to cultivate the next life, just to meet you on the way
At that moment I rose The wind horse is not begging for blessings
It is just waiting for your arrival
That night, I listened to Sanskrit singing all night
It is not for enlightenment but for seeking A trace of your breath
That year, I bowed my head and embraced the dust
Not to worship Buddha, just to stay close to your warmth
In that life, I I traveled through hundreds of thousands of mountains
Not to cultivate the afterlife, just to meet you on the road
In that moment, I ascended to immortality
Not to live forever, just to May you be blessed with joy and peace

Creative background:
Tsangyang Gyatso was a born living Buddha who was destined to be unable to engage in secular marriages at birth. , love is even more elusive for him, but before going to the Potala Palace to practice Buddhism, he lived in the secular world for 15 years. He must have witnessed many beautiful loves, and may have been moved by it, so in the Qing Dynasty During his practice, he copied the appearance of love countless times and wrote a series of deeply affectionate love poems.
Appreciation:
As the sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso spent every day practicing, but whether the author was chanting sutras or worshiping, whether he was listening to Sanskrit or translating Crossing mountains and seas, there is always a woman in his heart, which prevents him from concentrating on her. His practice in this world is just the same path for him and his lover. No matter what he does, he will only do it for the love in his heart. The love is deep and meaningful, and it is touching.
