Gansu impression has always been barren yellow sand filled the depression. Last year's autumn, with a few friends went to Gannan, the mind is very upset, I really do not know if he or she will regret it. Before, there was a friend said to me: "Mo into the plateau, you would stay there his soul!" It was very exaggerated, but it felt as I first entered the footsteps of the plateau gradually deeper:
Endless plateau meadows, intoxicating heart and soul of the mountain lakes, high-wide endless blue sky, red-letter Lightness has caused occasional clouds, hill and dale of the cattle and sheep, the Tibetan people smile, clear eyes, pure Tibetan temple magnificent frescoes of exquisite sculpture, architecture ... ... is really enough to conquer the hearts of any earthly one!
Leng Temple could not pull the door to practice Buddhism Buddha Net
Out of Lanzhou, drive south through Linxia region, enters the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Our first stop was Xiahe, a small county with only one street, but here there is one the world's largest institution and the Buddhist scriptures most Lamaism temple - could not pull leng Temple, but also the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, the six major monasteries of the famous 1.
Tibetan Buddhist temples and often very different from Han Chinese temple, the temple is absolutely not the kind of green to Main Hall as the center axis symmetrical layout, does not form a closed courtyard environment for the construction of many palaces without deliberate planning, often hilly terrain Construction, listing the repairs made on behalf of Hing scale mounting, Weiran considerable.
Could not pull Leng Temple is Tibet exquisite temple architecture. Back with a mountain, there is an unknown Teramae river, from the slopes to the river, the entire temple from high to low base. Could not pull a lot of leng Temple Church Buddhist temple have been built against the mountain at high levels, mostly Jinding red walls of the Tibetan architecture, Dianding a diversity of gilt decoration, each seat hall has its own style, the whole building complex is magnificently decorated, magnificent and very magnificent. Around the bottom of a large shag in its outer wall with the white, decorated with red doors on both sides of the border, elegance Sadakiyo. Temple is surrounded by more than 2000 colorful and attractive by turning the barrel, it will center the entire temple full-bodied, the edge light color perfect unified. Could not pull Leng Temple without walls there is no special entrance, Temple Street, vertical and horizontal, and the entire town as a single entity.
Could not pull Leng Temple began Jian Yuqing Kangxi reign, after three hundred years, wind and rain, the overall control of the six parishes, 108 monasteries. In the pull-no-leng Temple mural sculpture of numerous fine, there is the image of the largest yellow hat with Tsongkhapa like. As the sect's founder, Tsongkhapa will adhere to the fundamental precepts as a monk, he himself proficient in academic specialty and Tibetan, and the creation of a set of Xianmi with a minor, first noticeable after the close of the Buddhist system, the Gelug Sect disciples are must be strict system of learning. Could not pull Leng Temple is the most prominent classic.
Walk through the streets of the temple often to see such devotion to knock the head of the Tibetans in length, their three-step one Koushou, Chung with the scriptures to pray for peace, vote in line with five bodies of the gift, from the worship from afar. And then there is the small groups of monks who, holding the book together through the peer, as just after class of students, while walking softly while also discussing something. Here, not as worthy of breaking Red Dust accompanied Qingdeng Buddha temple, but rather is a university town. Later, I learned not pull leng Tibetan Temple Everybody likes to have a well-known of the six colleges, the monks do not study, not only in the obvious profound esoteric teachings and religious philosophy, as well as specialized medical schools and teaching astronomical calendar when the round of college.
Here, Fat Jong Temple is not only a secular spiritual people where the Tibetan children from an early age to enter temples, or life as a monk, or Rusi few years, where they must undergo rigorous learning: philosophy, literature, poetry , aerobics, drama, painting, sculpture, architecture, language, medicine ... ... Fat Jong Temple is also the center of Tibetan culture and education, and art.
Langmusi the road leading to Pure
To leave Xiahe, we clear the way Maqu. In the Tibetan language, the Maqu is the meaning of the Yellow River, in this piece of prairie on the river like a jade belt to draw a big bend. Read Nishajuxia Pentium roar of the Hukou Waterfall, how do I can hardly be so clear and translucent and the Yellow River linked.
Maqu no particular attractions, we wish to Langmusi embarked. Along the way, our only experience is open. The vast expanse of flat prairie spread to the horizon, although at this time is no longer a rich green, but fall is here, turned out for an endless golden sky just enough to have any flaws in thick white cloud of intractable, in the The blue backdrop on a random Duisu with all sorts of shapes. Winds in the driveway, with the elevation of the lift, in a short period of time, we have experienced the dark clouds hovering over the sky fog and snow, and then turned to a col, sun still shines brightest dream-like clouds are still posture thousands, as if a nightmare had just been made a general.
When arriving Langmusi was already dusk, temples have to be closed down. Langmusi well known abroad, because there Amdo, one of the two Tianzang Tai, and can be visited by foreign travelers to come here for adventures, far more than people. We were told that there are burial ceremony tomorrow morning.
The next day is not yet dawn, we went to the mountain of the Tian Zangtai of Langmusi. Through the still sleeping in the cottages and temples in the mountains a quiet, boarding Peak, empty, only the numerous streamer fluttering in the mountain breeze in the breeze. Looked down the hill, the morning the village is so beautiful. Chen Ai-faint to plague the valley, one is said to be the source of the stream will be Langmusi Bailongjiang and another lamasery separated, here is also in Gansu, Sichuan, there is a. Sandwiched among them is also a small mosque, possession back to the two communities and good to get along with one of their gods guarding the people here. Gradually the sun rises, the first Xiaguang projection down, the whole village was coated in a layer of golden light. The smoke began to curl up, and awakens in the village started the day life.
There is a car with a few people up the mountain to see the name we also warmly greeted. They unloaded a lot of things, known as "hot A Pakistan" in Tianzang Shi began to layout the deceased put away, lit a pile of bonfire, they began to get together with recitation. This is said to be able to summon the souls of those who were taken to heaven Yingjiu. Far looked at, I would not help wondering, looking at the lofty rise of the blue sky, there really are angels that do anyone to be reborn? After a quarter of an hour when suddenly a serpent eagles are flying from the opposite side of the peaks, after a while hovering in the sky, fly back. A moment, then one to one, more and more serpent eagle appeared, the sky quickly gathered more than a hundred serpent eagle presence. We simply do not know that they are coming from there, they dive down and landed on the hillside, quietly standing. Tibetans say that it was there waiting for serpent eagle king. Half an hour later, there is a very large serpent eagles appeared in the sky, it proudly to glide forward, visits with, probably because those of us who wear bright travelers too garish, it flew off. Washio group remained quiet and waited.
It took another half an hour, then a few Tibetans began anxiously, ever recitation, let us Lide Yuan more. See that they are very uncomfortable, because the group of Tibetans believe that the sooner the dead serpent eagles away, it shows the deceased during his lifetime is a moral good person in the future there will be reborn in a good reincarnation. We had to leave. Gone less than 10 minutes, they rushed to the car ahead of us to go on, and they very happy to greet us, the original we have just one left, serpent eagles group peck on the red light down to the dead, and that they are very a big happy event.
Down the mountain, the friends go to the temple, and I was in the village and turn. Friendly customs are very honest here. Clean and clear water side, there are facial features beautiful girls in the water Huan Xi, a few naughty kids jumping in the water, splashing the spray from time to time tease each other, waterside mill there is a huge change in the flow through the barrel Under the impact of non-stop rotation, so New Zealand squeak sound. Can be seen everywhere in the Tibetan form of varying turning the barrel, the locals tell us that by turning the barrels are stored with the classics, the Tibetans are illiterate can not read the classics, every turn circle, like a read through the same again, but also Buddha bless available.
Farewell Langmusi, we are reluctant to go, I really hope that in this small village of Pure simply left alone. Looking back along the way, our trip to Gannan between the total walking in the temple. Temples, and the Tibetans living is so close, they are year-round crafts, in order to go to the temple to worship, if able to see the Living Buddha, but also life event. The temple, also carries the Tibetans who live in its entirety. Whether born in death, they will entrust their souls are here; regardless of health, disease, their bodies are preparing for the afterlife, eternal life; regardless of the poor rich, all their hard work are all in order to contribute to the Buddha; they learn in the temple of knowledge, They also use the wisdom of the perfect temple.
Whether in Latin America is not leng Temple, Langmusi, or return in the way of Milarepa and temples, we were all deeply shocked here. Architecture, sculpture, murals, Thangka, are entrusted with the Tibetan people were inside the deepest love of life. They are the most brilliant colors, the most gentle lines, depicting the shaping of the most touching of all. They expend all of the dreams and talents, in this pure land, describing the life of the world's eternal yearning for the future.
Walk through the plateau, I am so free. Where the clear sky of pure smile that I deeply cherish. You can also go and see your soul will also stay there!
