【Explaining 】- Gyeltsabjey was convinced

There is a story about first time Gyeltsabjey went to meet with Lama Tsong-Kha-Pa. Gyeltsabjey was a renowned scholar somewhere in Tibet, and when he heard how great Master Tsong-Kha-Pa was, he was not convinced, ‘‘Is that so? I don’t believe it. I have to go and see for myself!” This was his attitude. One day, harboring such a mentality, he arrived to see Master Tsong-Kha-Pa, who happened to be giving a teaching in that place. Gyeltsabjey swaggered in. As soon as Master Tsong-Kha-Pa saw him approaching, he quickly got up from the higher throne and sat on a lower throne to the side, sat there, and continued with his teaching. Gyeltsabjey surprisingly entered loudly and sat on the higher seat vacated by Master Tsong-Kha-Pa and pretentiously listened. Then, before the end of the session, Gyeltsabjey got off the throne. At the end of the session, he knelt in front of Master Tsong-Kha-Pa. Well! This teaching was never heard before, such extensive and profound teachings indeed! Thereafter, he devoted his entire life as a disciple of Master Tsong-Kha-Pa and promulgated his teachings.

讲说 ：贾曹杰服气了

这个贾曹杰第一次去见宗喀巴大师的时候啊，还有这么一段公案：他自己是这个后藏不晓得哪一部分，最了不起的一个大学者，听见人家说，说宗喀巴大师这个人何等了不起，他心里不服气：“真的这么好吗？我就不相信，我就要跑得去看看他！”就这样。那天他就怀了这种心情跑得来，宗喀巴大师正好在那地方讲说，结果啊外面进来一个人，那就是那个贾曹杰，大摇大摆地上来。宗喀巴大师一看那个对方上来了以后，他连忙从座位上下来，旁边坐一个小座，就坐在那个地方，然后继续地讲下去。那一位老兄啊，他居然就乒乒乓乓跑上去，坐在那个宗喀巴大师让出来的那个大座上面，坐在那个地方很神气地听。结果，一座还没听完啊，他就下来了，等到听完一座，就跪在宗喀巴大师前面——啊！这个教法是闻所未闻，义理广、深，这样啊！从此以后他一生就完全跟着宗喀巴大师，而把宗喀巴大师的教法弘传。
