It is called the most primitive temple, the representative of Gannan Temple. Do you know where it is?

Inadvertently, I fell in love with Gannan. Xiahe County is located in the southwest of Gansu Province. It is named after Daxia River and has many tourist attractions. Labrang Temple in Renmin West Street, Labrang Town, Xiahe County is rare in the world. There are more than 2,000 prayer wheels, and it takes at least one hour for each prayer wheel to turn once. There are countless giant Buddha statues and various exquisite sculptures, murals and artifacts enshrined in the temple. This is the most primitive and moving temple I have ever been to.

Labrang Temple is a super-large temple. In Xiahe County, Gannan, the annual grand Sun Buddha Festival makes it famous. Xiahe already has a special Xiahe airport, which is enough to see the influence of the Sun Buddha Festival and the influence of this temple. It is a different feeling to look at the believers around you with reverence. The corridor is 3 kilometers long, and it takes more than an hour to turn around. Warp cylinders vary in size. There are some small rooms in the corner, in which there is a prayer wheel one person high.

It is supposed that the location of Labrang Temple should be under Ta 'er Temple. After all, Master Zong Kaba, the founder of the Gelug Sect, was born in the site of Ta 'er Temple. However, I feel that the scale of Labrang Temple is bigger than that of Ta 'er Temple. Just grab a person on Xiahe Street and ask where Labrang Temple is. Everyone is pointing fingers. Is that all? ; For the photography party, the location of Labrang Temple is even higher, because the whole temple has a wide terrain, and there is an excellent platform next to the 2 13 national road across Xiahe River, which can give a panoramic view of Labrang Temple.

Labrang Temple is not as commercial and noisy as Ta 'er Temple, but it is indeed more solemn. Walking here, you consciously won't make any noise. At this moment, I suddenly understood why "A Thief-Free World" took photos here, instead of the Ta 'er Temple with a louder name than here. In fact, many people come from a thief-free world. They come here to play, which is a small place with a strong religious atmosphere and many foreigners. In addition, there are many beautiful plateau plants on the mountain opposite the temple, so you can enjoy the panoramic view of the temple. Many people are waiting for the sunset on the mountain.

Seeing many Tibetans come to pray, many people just took a cursory look. Every time I see Tibetans kowtowing to the Buddha, I always admire their piety! The visit here is quite orderly. A special Lama organized groups of people to enter the temple in turn to explain. I couldn't take pictures in the temple, so I took a casual look. The only hall where photos can be taken is the hall where butter sculpture is displayed, which is a special form of sculpture art made of ghee. Although I yearn for the beautiful scenery of Tibet, I am really afraid that I can't get used to the food there.

The most attractive thing about Labrang Temple is that if it is a temple, I think it is more like a school, while lamas are more like studying. In fact, Labrang Temple is one of the highest Buddhist institutions in the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, which is equivalent to Peking University Tsinghua in Tibetan Buddhism. I like it here better than our temples in the Han Dynasty. I seriously worship here. I believe it brought me here. It is a more beautiful painting than painting. I saw blah.

Labrang Temple extends in all directions, each hall is an independent courtyard, and most people passing by are in a hurry. The whole temple is shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere. As the commanding height, the court pagoda is the most obvious landmark, and you can climb to the top of the tower to overlook the whole temple by buying tickets. The local people who turned to the temple took us to the path behind the temple. They kept touching the walls and doors with their foreheads along the way. It is said that they are praying for good luck and peace to the Buddha and temples.

As the location of world without thieves, you can't visit it in less than two hours. I climbed the pagoda layer by layer and reached the top of the pagoda, where I froze. Standing on the stupa, I can overlook the whole Labrang Temple. In the sun, Labrang Temple is warm and quiet. This kind of feeling can't be said, it's a feeling that you can only feel when you stand there. I don't want to leave the stupa for too long. If I can, I can move a small Mazar and sit for a day.

Have you ever heard of Labrang Temple? Have you seen the turning road of Labrang Temple? World without thieves begins with a panoramic view of the sunrise at Labrang Temple. As the cultural and artistic center of Amdo Tibetans, Labrang Temple has more lamas than any other temple along the way. Young lamas are full of confidence and energy, and they even nod to you in a friendly way. In contrast, older lamas always hide their faces when they see tourists with cameras on their backs, even if you are not taking pictures at all. Haha, I don't know why.
