[Tibet] 倉央嘉措－－上酒家妓院的第六世達賴喇嘛
收到幾次轉寄的西藏達賴六世情歌的email，也都不以為意，沒看就刪掉了。我對神祕的宗教沒甚麼憧憬或崇拜。隨著微網誌的風行，像是facebook, plurk, twitter..etc. 這兩年轉寄email 的風氣大幅下降。也因如此，近來就多少會讀一些轉寄的email了。
點閱了這封名為西藏達賴六世情歌的email,我沒被情歌給感動，卻想起以前在BBC曾看過的一則新聞，是關於一位花花公子型的詩人達賴喇嘛。所以就去把那篇舊聞找出來，也上網找了一下這位六世達賴喇嘛的資料。
以下取材自維基百科：
達賴喇嘛（藏文：ཏཱ་ལའི་བླ་མ་，威利：Taa-la'i Bla-ma，藏語拼音：Dalai Lama）是藏傳佛教中格魯派（黃教）的領袖。歷代達賴的名字都是「嘉措」，藏文意為「海洋」，譯為蒙古語後，即為「達賴」；「喇嘛」是藏語古對上師的稱呼，也隱含著「智慧」之意。「達賴喇嘛」通常指「智慧深似海」，即是蒙古土默特部首領俺答汗給予第三世達賴喇嘛索南嘉措的尊號。第一世達賴喇嘛根敦朱巴為格魯派創始人宗喀巴的弟子。第四世達賴喇嘛雲丹嘉措是俺答汗的孫子，也是唯一一名蒙古人出任達賴喇嘛。
達賴喇嘛被視為是觀世音菩薩的化身，在藏語中叫做「sPyan-ras-gzigs」。西藏人稱達賴喇嘛為嘉瓦仁波切（rGyal-ba Rinpoche），即偉大的保護者、法王；或益西諾布（Ye-shes Nor-bu），充滿喜悅的寶石、如意之寶；或昆頓（Kundun），即有求即來。西藏人稱蒙古可汗是金剛手菩薩的化身，滿清皇帝是文殊師利菩薩化身。
班禪額爾德尼被藏人視為「無量光佛」即「阿彌陀佛」的化身，最早擁有班禪稱號的羅桑卻吉堅贊（四世班禪）是五世達賴的老師；就格魯派傳承而言，第一世班禪克珠傑是宗喀巴兩大弟子（另一大弟子是賈曹傑）之一。

達賴喇嘛生涯
倉央嘉措（藏語：ཚངས་དབྱངས་རྒྱ་མཚོ；Tshangs dbyangs Rgya mtsho，1683年3月1日－1706年11月15日），第六世達賴喇嘛，藏族著名詩人，法名：羅桑仁欽倉央嘉措，為歷代達賴喇嘛中最富傳奇色彩的人物。
第六世達賴生性浪漫，喜歡射箭勝於研讀佛經，他經常離開布達拉宮，到野外比賽射箭。
因為他信奉寧瑪派，很晚才接受沙彌戒，並且他一直拒絕接受具足戒，不想出家為僧。1702年，他捨戒還俗，格魯派三大寺及藏王固始汗之孫都要求他改變態度，出家受比丘戒，但是受到第六世達賴的拒絕。
第六世達賴開始到拉薩的酒家妓院遊盪，在城中擁有許多的女友，並寫作許多浪漫情歌。
廢黜與遁去
第六世達賴的第悉桑結嘉措與準噶爾盆地的西蒙古和碩特族結盟，想要反對清朝的統治，並驅逐拉藏汗。藏王拉藏汗與滿族結盟。
1696年，清朝軍隊在昭莫多一役痛擊準噶爾部。
1705年，準噶爾部與清朝再度發生戰爭，拉藏汗進攻拉薩，罷免了第悉桑結嘉措。
康熙四十五年（1706年）6月28日，拉藏汗殺桑結嘉措後，更與康熙皇帝決定同時廢黜第六世達賴喇嘛倉央嘉措。此舉激怒了拉薩的僧侶，他們在哲蚌寺齊集保護倉央嘉措。然而，當拉薩汗的部隊炮轟哲蚌寺時，為阻止喇嘛們的慘重傷亡，倉央嘉措選擇自願受縛。之後，押解至北京。按官方資料記載，倉央嘉措於同年11月15日北上途中死於青海湖附近公噶瑙爾。
另一說，倉央嘉措在押解途中逃脫，並隱居直至1706年去世。

Erotic verse sheds light on 'playboy Lama'
The publication of a new translation of the erotic poetry of the sixth Dalai Lama - who rejected monastic orders and indulged his passion for women and wine - has given new insight into this controversial figure of religious history.
Tsangyang Gyatso, who became the sixth Dalai Lama in 1697, often went against the principles of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, of which he was the spiritual leader.
He dressed as a layman and often took the name Norsang Wangpo at night, getting drunk and visiting brothels.
However he was also a poet and wrote moving pieces about the pains and pleasures of the human heart, and a new English version of his works has been completed by British linguist Paul Williams.
"This is a lad in his teens we're talking about, and he's very much behaving like a typical teenager," Mr Williams told BBC World Service's Reporting Religion programme.
"He wasn't doing what he was told, he wasn't attending ceremonies he was supposed to be attending. But the real crisis came when he reached the age of 19 and he was required to take his final monastic vows - and he simply refused.
"This was simply unheard of - but worse than that, he actually gave back the vows he'd already taken."
Playboy lifestyle
Tsangyang's poems are addressed to the many women he had relations with - from courtesans to beer girls at the market.
Often their subject is the conflict within him - that, while he is aware of his duties, his desires for "pleasure and comfort" are stronger.
Having given back his vows, Tsangyang sought life as a layman and began living a playboy lifestyle.
One description of him has him wearing blue silk robes and long hair. He took to living the life of a playboy, spending the day practicing archery with his friends behind the Potala Palace before visiting the towns of Lhasa and Shol in the evening.
He would spend the nights drinking and singing love songs in taverns. While these were usually white, some were later painted yellow - and one popular belief has it that the yellow taverns were the consecrated places where Tsangyang met his lovers.
As well as the poems, he also wrote a number of songs, many of which are still sung in Tibet.
However, his behaviour was not only a political "disaster" but also threw up serious questions at the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, Mr Williams said.
In particular, it threatened to undermine one of the central beliefs of the monks - that he really was the re-incarnation of the fifth Dalai Lama.
While his predecessor had been a politically strong and highly intelligent leader - becoming the first Dalai Lama to assume full spiritual and secular control over the whole of Tibet - the Sixth Lama's actions were completely different and unexpected.
Modern impact
Tsangyang died at the age of 24 - disappearing in mysterious circumstances - and suspicions abound that he was murdered.
But Mr Williams argued that his legacy lives on not only in his work, but in Tibet's modern political situation.
Tsangyang's lifestyle meant there were many who believed they could not govern effectively in his name, creating a power vacuum in Tibet.
This led to two successive invasions from different parts of Mongolia - after which the Chinese army entered the area to sort out the situation.
"It is really from this time that China had been able to enforce their claim - which they still have - that Tibet is an integral part of China," Mr Williams added.
"So the impact of the Sixth Dalai Lama could be said to still being felt by the modern Tibetans, in terms of the Chinese claim," he said.

“ Folk gossip about me.
Sorry, yes, I'm to blame.
A lad's three tiptoe steps -
Oh, I've reached the brothel ”
