Qinghai Tar order to improve the butter sculpture skills, with the upper and lower two Butter Sculpture Center, in order to exchange ideas with each other prove; so the Tar Monastery of Tibetan butter sculpture in the lamin sum in a very long standing.
Butter soluble in water, and well preserved - a single run from 2:00 to do what with the butter sculptures high above the Buddha is not a good choice. The only advantage is probably easy to shape butter alone can be a statue of dexterous hands.
Consummate skill, if delivered to the long period of time, it should be not too difficult to master - the Tibetan lama temples where the murals are a lot of complicated ascetic monks who came from their own handwriting. However, given that butter sculpture is not easy, but also must be able to long withstand a huge test.
In order to solve half the butter liquid soluble in water issues, butter statues process usually must be in sub-zero operation. The statue before the lamas to their own hands for a long time soaking in ice water until the temperature dropped to freezing point with both hands, and then frozen hands almost complete reproduction of lifelike statues. Hand temperature rise must be a slightly longer soak into the ice water, and so forth, until one day to complete the statue.
The birth of a Buddha butter on a section full of the monks were pious.
Alizhada arrayed in his courtyard, a lot of Tuolin Si Mani stone, almost all are shaped like bread-like texture Yuangun and hard rock.

In the Jokhang Temple in front of a lot of positive life-sized head knock in situ, Tibetans, the Tibetan kowtow over many years, where most have a homogeneous body under the height of a man with thick wood. Board already smooth carve out a vague human form, in the push hands Teng Chiao is a deep depression where the imprint.
Jokhang Temple worships the world's remaining a life-sized Buddha, Living Legend has it that Sakyamuni was time to open the statue to their own light. Buddhist believers think that to see that this is equivalent to see the Buddha statues for thousands of years before the Buddha.

Both the Mainland of Buddhism, India, Shiva taught, or Tibetan Buddhism, Tibetan Bon religion, the original Gang Ren Bo Qi regard the statue as the center of the world, that is the most important of the Buddhist legend Sumeru Kamiyama - it is living Buddha place. Ren Bo Qi hill of God becomes the minds of believers of Buddhism's most sacred shrine. Tibetans believe in Tibetan Buddhism who lives in the city to turn Hill Gang Ren Bo Qi pilgrimage, and some even every year, turn, turn a lot of laps each.
Gang Ren Bo Qi in the high mountains on the plateau for the non-resident groups and non-professional climbers who are parts in terms of hard and dangerous things.

Every year people died in the mountains on the road; Gang Ren Bo Qi Tian Zangtai in fact is a dog of the Tibetan and Taiwan, dead people on their way in changing the final hill was mostly dogs Kenshi clean; but the Tibetans died in the post seems to Ren Bo Qi is a good thing, that means Shengxian.
