Ta 'er Temple, also known as Ta 'er Temple, is located in Huangzhong District, Xining City, the capital of Qinghai Province. It was founded in the 12th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1379). It was named after the Great Silver Pagoda built by Dajinwa Temple in memory of Zong Kaba, the founder of Yellow Sect. It is called "Bahrain" in Tibetan, which means "Maitreya Temple with 100,000 lions roaring Buddha statues" and is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction.

Ta 'er Temple was named because there were towers before temples. Ta 'er Temple is the center of Buddhism and the holy land of Yellow Sect in Qinghai Province and northwest China. Its main buildings are located on the hillside of a ditch in Lianhua Mountain, including Dajinwa Temple, Dajing Hall and Maitreya Hall.

There are more than 9,300 temples (seats), including Jiujian Temple, Huasi Temple, Xiaojinwa Temple, Zhubazhazang, Dinko Zhacang, Mambazazacang, Dalalang, Big Kitchen and Ruyi Pagoda. , forming a huge Tibetan-Chinese complex, covering an area of 450,000 square meters.

Temple architecture covers the styles of Han Palace and Tibetan flat roof, and skillfully combines China's three-eaves-resting-behind-the-hill style with the clever whip wall, Sanskrit mantra, bronze mirror and brick inlaid at the bottom under the Tibetan eaves, forming a harmonious and perfect combination of Chinese and Tibetan artistic styles.

Ta 'er Temple is not only the holy land of Lamaism in China, but also one of the institutions of higher learning that have trained a large number of Tibetan intellectuals. There are four schools in the temple: Xianzong, Tantric, Astronomy and Medicine.

The main hall of Ta 'er Temple is strewn at random, reflecting each other and imposing. Located in the center of the temple, Dajinwa Hall is the main building of the temple, with green walls and golden tiles. It is connected with Xiaojinwa Hall (the Hall of Protector), Dajingtang Hall, Maitreya Hall, Sakyamuni Hall, Yijing Hall, Manjusri Bodhisattva Hall and Dalalang Palace (the auspicious palace).

The four main Buddhist temples (Xianzong Buddhist Temple, Mizong Buddhist Temple, Medical Ming Buddhist Temple and Ten Wheels Buddhist Temple), Butter Carving Academy, Dancing Academy, Living Buddha House, Tathagata, Bodhi Pagoda, Gate Pagoda, Shilun Pagoda, Monk Pagoda, etc., have formed a complex with patchwork, rigorous layout, unique style and integration of Chinese and Tibetan technologies.

Buddhist philosophy

In addition to the magnificent architecture, Ta 'er Temple is also a treasure house of culture and art with splendid cultural relics. Buddhist culture in monasteries has been brought into the discipline of "Big, Small and Five Civilizations" of Tibetan traditional culture. Among them, Naiming (Buddhism) is the core and essence of temple culture.

The vast number of Buddhist classics is the epitome of Buddhist culture, and the Buddhist culture of Ta 'er Temple, like other Gelu temples in Tibetan areas, is also spread through Zhacang, an academic institution. Gong Benxian's four major Zhahan (colleges) in Bahrain can be said to be a microcosm of the snowy Buddhist culture academy.

Reading Buddha, learning Buddha, giving lectures and debating scriptures are different practical activities of learning Buddha. Various Buddhist activities and ceremonies are another concrete manifestation of Buddhist culture in temples.

Temple architecture and culture, including wood carving, brick carving, stone carving and scale skills; Production technology of Buddha statues, pagodas, Buddhist scriptures and monk's clothes; Mural painting, pile embroidery and butter sculpture, the "three unique" arts, all belong to the category of "five great civilizations". Medicine and calendars are also famous. Buddhist culture in temples is extensive and profound. Throughout the ages, it has aroused great interest of some experts and scholars at home and abroad, and the research results are remarkable.

Ta 'er Temple is still a treasure house of Tibetan culture and art, including various sculptures, statues and religious relics. It is undoubtedly a treasure house of western respect for Tibet, because besides david nail (Paul Perri Ott, Ella Melar, Peter Fleming, Evarist Hook and Andre Migott), there are many travelers from the west who have stayed there.

Silk Road Yu Man (2) Ta 'er Temple

The next day, we started the real journey. After leaving Lanzhou, a city with faith, the next stop is in Xining, the capital of Qinghai, not far from the birthplace of Tibetan Buddhism and Yellow Religion, once the highest Tibetan institution of learning-Ta 'er Temple.

There are three treasures in Ta 'er Temple. First, murals are painted on silk curtains because the air in Ta 'er Temple is wetter than that in Tibet. Natural minerals and plants, as pigments, do not fade when exposed to air for 200 years. Now such pigments seem to disappear overnight. The second kind is pile embroidery, which is the ancestor of tapestries we made when we were young. There are two kinds, one is vertical pile and the other is flat pile. It's a pity that no one knows the technology of vertical pile. Thangka, a Buddha statue that extends from the foot of the mountain to the foot of the mountain every year, is made in Ping Xiu. Third, butter sculpture is famous. Butter extracted from yak milk, together with natural pigment, is hand-kneaded in the climate of minus 20 degrees. At first, it was burned immediately after it was exhibited on the15th day of the first month of each year. Now the varieties are more and more colorful, and with air conditioning, butter sculptures can be preserved for a long time.

In fact, when you come to Ta 'er Temple, no matter whether it is Dajinwa Hall or Xiaojinwa Hall, you can see people except people, and everyone consciously walks slowly on the right. Butter lamps flickered in the hall, and all the murals were covered with a mixture of soot and dust; The pillars are all wrapped in thick wool felt, and there are several belts across the waist, which is afraid of people rubbing, and the paint formula has been lost; All the Buddha statues are trapped in fences and paddocks because they are afraid of people touching, taking pictures and even throwing coins. Entering a door, leaving a door, and a space the size of a book outside the threshold, there will be three or four hungry feet trying to have it alone.

There are several luggage rolls side by side at the entrance of the main hall, where three people kowtow. An old man with a face as long as linen and a dead fold sat on his heel, dozing off against the post in front of the corridor, with his crutch across the luggage roll. I don't know why his brow twisted into a ball and his stomach pressed on his thigh like a cooked prawn. On the bed covered with the mixture of ghee and dust, there is a water cup also covered with the mixture of plastic. Next to him, a man in his 30 s and 40 s looks like his head is very long, his hand passes by, and his mobile phone is placed where he can touch it when kowtowing. Another person, simply hanging on his bedclothes and analyzing his mobile phone keyboard, seems to be studying the relationship between belief and mobile phone, a profound philosophy. Of course, at their feet are our expressionless audience.

Outside the temple gate, the toilet charges ten yuan for three potatoes and five yuan for yogurt.

As early as 30 years ago, I passed by Xining and took a bus once.

In my memory, a small bus was full of people and the car climbed on a narrow road. Occasionally, the roof is scraped by branches on the roadside, and the crackling sound is dragged from the front to the back. When the local deformation was gentle, we reached the gate of Ta 'er Temple, where there were eight white pagodas side by side. The little Lama in red slipped past, and the crimson robe has been tucked around his waist with sleeves, with the robe angle behind him. It seems windy.

Sometimes one or two people dressed as village women hide in the corner. There are one or two ordinary glasses in front of them, pressed with square glasses, and a thick layer of yellow butter oozes from the white yogurt at the mouth of the glasses.

The doors of each hall are open, and the futon placed in the big golden tile hall can pass through the middle at will, and the light contrast inside and outside the hall is obvious. Butter lamps were lit under the Buddha statue. So, as soon as I came in, I didn't say anything, and my heel pressed my front foot, as if those futons were full of people, except you, you late-born child. A monk is covered in gold, wearing a yellow pointed hat and dozens of Hadas in his hands. That is Master Zong Kaba.

Before I went, I heard my senior talk about the "old Tibetans" there.

"Old Tibetans" is a general term for Tibetans by Han people. It may be that the strong ultraviolet rays on the plateau, coupled with the different lifestyles, make them look old. Old Tibetans will ride horses or motorcycles and come at you with a strong smell, grabbing it from their arms. The tickets they get from selling cattle, horses and sheep will be spread out in front of you, so you can choose some and change them into lighters or a piece of cloth. At that time, the language was still impassable. _

_ _ I'm glad that I was exposed, and I accepted the punishment with tolerance. I also tried my best to suppress Lu Chu's interpretation, and I was afraid that I would invade box K and be fooled by a blind B.

It is said that looking at the whole country from Tibet has no faith. The "old Tibetans" in Ta 'er Temple are just the tip of the iceberg.

When people talk about faith, they will take out a photo like this. There is no doubt that Tibetans attach great importance to their feelings, because they often walk for three days without seeing anyone, so they feel cordial when they see stones laid down by others, so they need something to fill their heads, so Buddhism goes in.

Now that the tourism industry is developed, all the scenic spots in the tourist season are crowded with people, and there are crowds everywhere.

In our heads, there seems to be the possibility of being crushed by something.
