What should you pay attention to when traveling to Zharu Temple?

Zharu Temple holds four grand temple fairs every year, the largest of which is the Mazi Fair on the 15th day of the fifth lunar month every year. It is said that "Mazi" is a god in Bonbo religion (a primitive religion popular in Tibetan areas before Buddhism was introduced to Tibet), who is responsible for subduing and eliminating demons. The Mazi meeting is to commemorate him. Mazi Festival is the most important religious ceremony in Zharu Temple and the most solemn festival in Jiuzhaigou.

Zharu Temple, a Bon temple in Jiuzhaigou Valley, is a sacred and solemn pure land tainted with the atmosphere of commercialization

Jiuzhaigou Valley is well-deserved for its beautiful scenery. When we walked towards the visitor center after visiting the scenery, we passed by Zharu Temple, a Tibetan Bon temple located at the foot of Baojing Rock. A tour guide, a girl wearing a Tibetan robe, took us to the first and second floors of the temple, explained the history and architecture of Zharu Temple, and then took us to the third floor. She said that everyone is very lucky today. The senior brother of the temple is in the temple today and can recite peace blessing scriptures for everyone. Then, a middle-aged lama came over, looking very peaceful. The girl who looked like a tour guide said that he was the senior brother.

Then the senior brother said hello to everyone, said many auspicious words, and then read a passage from the Tibetan Sutra. Later, several young lamas came over, holding scrolls with scriptures printed in their hands. The senior brother said that this was the Peace Sutra, and asked everyone to invite them home. The greater the luck, the more invitations. The average tourist can only invite 2 One roll costs 400 yuan. Only lucky tourists can get 3 rolls for 600 yuan. Then he asked the tourists to line up to receive the scriptures. A young lama stood next to him holding a red merit box. There were two young lamas standing on the left and right sides of the door. The tourists who donated money were guided by the tour guide waiting at the door and asked them to The scriptures are hung on the wall on the second floor.

I bought 2 volumes of scriptures for 400 yuan, and my friend bought 3 volumes for 600 yuan.

I personally respect the beliefs of all ethnic groups. Although I don’t understand religion, deep down in my heart I feel that religious beliefs are very sacred and noble things. If some things are commercialized too much, they will become stale.
