85 西藏布达拉宫

入西藏境，过乌苏江，越拉萨河，即抵达拉萨，全藏政教中枢。西北达布拉山，有高十三层之布达拉宫，殿中庄严，金碧耀目。达赖喇嘛，坐床之所，有喇嘛僧，二万人。有葛尔、别蚌、色拉等寺。.

宣化偈曰：

佛教密宗号喇嘛，

专持密咒上师加。

呼图克图法王主，

达赖班禅政教化。

Arriving at Potala Palace in Tibet

The Master entered Tibet, crossing the Wu Su Chiang and Lhasa Rivers. Lhasa is the capital as well as the administrative and religious center for all of Tibet. The Master walked northeast to Potala Mountain, Where the thirteen--story Potala Palace is located. The halls were adorned with shining gold and jade. This was where the Dalai Lama sat on his throne. There were twenty thousand lamas in the residence in Ke Erh, Pieh, Ssz La and other monasteries in the area.

The verse says:

The secret school of the Buddha’s teachings is known as the sect of lamas,

Who exclusively practice secret mantras passed on by teachers.

The Dharma Host, who’s also the king, is called the Hutuhktu.

The Dalai and Panchen Lamas administrate and teach.

86 过喜马拉雅山

己丑五十岁，公不欲留藏，开春南行。经拉噶、亚东、不丹，越重山峻岭，或称葱岭，或称雪山。有诗云“何物横天际，晴空入望中。这般银世界，无异玉玲珑”之句。至杨甫城，朝佛古迹，至孟加。

宣化偈曰:

喜马拉雅大雪山，

世界第一高矗天。

探险专家难窥测，

不可议境隐金仙。

Crossing the Himalayas

In the year 1890, the Master was fifty years of age. He did not wish to remain in Tibet, so during the first days of spring, he began traveling south. He Passed through La Ko, Ya Tung, and then Bhutan, crossing the precipitous Chun Ling Mountain range, otherwise known as the Himalayas, or snow mountains. He composed the following verse enroute: What is it that stretches to the far reaches of the horizon? This crystalline world differs not from resplendent jade.

When the master reached the city of Yang P’u, he visited the ancient Buddhist shines and then proceeded to Bengal.

The verse says:

That great and lofty mountain range is called the Himalayas.

In this world they are the highest - pushing up into the heavens.

Even for the expert explorer, the golden immortal is difficult to spy,

But he really is hiding there - an inconceivable sight!
