After more than 500 years of hard work, the only monastery of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism, Bingzhong Luopuhua Zen Temple

It has gone through more than five hundred years of wind, frost, snow and rain. The only monastery of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism is the residence of the fifth living Buddha Langqiu. It is Bingzhong Luopuhua Zen Temple.

The first bay of Nujiang River is in Bingzhongluo Town, but strictly speaking, it is not part of Bingzhongluo Scenic Area. In fact, Bingzhongluo Scenic Area is different from what I understood before. I thought it was a closed area like other scenic spots. The park, in fact, Bingzhongluo is an open area, and there is no strict concept of entry and exit. I went to three places in Bingzhongluo: Puhua Temple, the junction of Yunnan and Tibet, and Wuli Village. If you have time, there are actually many places you can go to, such as Qiunatong. It is best to stay there for a week. Perfect;

Let’s get back to the subject. To go to Puhua Temple from the national highway, you have to walk a section of village road. Both sides are planted with rice and various crops. It has entered autumn, the rice has matured, and the heavy ears of rice are golden. yellow. See that Tibetan-style building? That is Puhua Temple;

A random one! What kind of chicken is this? Do you know anyone? Like a turkey, but a turkey is not that small!

Puhua Temple is not big, and it takes less than fifteen minutes to go around it. But despite its small size, it has a history of more than 500 years. It is the only monastery of the Kagyu Sect of Tibetan Buddhism and is currently the residence of the fifth Living Buddha Langqiu. Awesome?

I don’t have a deep understanding of Tibetan Buddhism, so I can’t say much. Let’s just enjoy it as a spectacle. This is the "main hall" of Puhua Temple, and it was also the part that was later rebuilt by Living Buddha Langqiu. Puhua Temple, which had been in disrepair for a long time, has also regained its former glory;

See, this small It is the original main hall of Puhua Temple. Due to disrepair for many years, it has tilted and leaked. Fortunately, it has been restored and is back to its glory;

Take a photo, maybe you can only come here once in your life, it is a rare thing;

Visiting the Lord's Hall is not allowed here Photography, and this kind of occasion is not suitable for taking pictures, so I can’t show you the inside. In addition, there are 11 murals on the corridors and inner walls of Puhua Temple, and a total of 2,000 small "Shengji" paintings. If you go to Bingzhongluo, I strongly recommend you to visit it;

Exquisite door knockers, exquisite The craftsmanship looks like a dragon head, but it is also slightly different. From a landscape perspective, Tibetan Buddhist temples also have their own very unique parts. This is a very deep knowledge. I don’t understand it at all, so I don’t know. What does the Dharma say?

Prayer wheels, a long row;

I like to look at the distant mountains quietly by myself. Look at the persistence and stability of the mountain, the Zen and silence of the mountain, the changes of day and night in the mountain, and the alternation of the four seasons in the mountain. This is a state of mind that the city cannot bring to me;
