"On that day, I turned all the warp tubes,

not for crossing over, not for the afterlife, but for your warmth."

stroking the prayer wheel of Ta 'er Temple, I found a familiar feeling, as if there were lines on the prayer wheel that I wanted to touch.

I occasionally have a feeling, such as going to a strange place, but deja vu, as if this was an agreement in a previous life, and this life will definitely arrive. Ta 'er Temple gives me this feeling.

Listen to the tour guide's elder sister, past lives of Ta 'er Temple.

Ta 'er Temple is named after the pagoda and then the temple. Ta 'er Temple is one of the six monasteries of Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism and the birthplace of Master Zong Kaba, the second largest Buddha in the world.

Zong Kaba entered Xiazong Temple at the age of 3 and was ordained by Shami at Xiaqiong Temple at the age of 7, where he studied with the eminent monks for 9 years. At the age of 16, he left Xiaqiong Temple to go to Tibet, pay homage to the eminent monks and study Buddhism diligently. At the age of 29, he was ordained by a bhikkhu in Lacan Temple. At the age of 34, he opened the altar to give a lecture, and he had deep attainments in Buddhism.

Zong Kaba's "On the Broadness of Bodhi Daoism" and "On the Broadness of Tantric Daoism" laid the theoretical and ideological foundation of the Gelug Sect. His works in his life amounted to more than 171 volumes.

After Zong Kaba left home for Tibet for many years, her mother, Shansa Aceto, sent a bunch of white hair and a letter, asking Zong Kaba to go home for a meeting.

Zong Kaba, determined not to return for the sake of Buddhism, sent a self-portrait and a lion's roar Buddha statue to his mother and sister, and wrote: "If you can build a pagoda with 111,111 lion's roar Buddha statues and bodhi trees as a fetus in the place where I was born, it will be like meeting me."

in the following year, in 1379, her mother, Shansa Ache, built a tower with the support of believers, and named it "Lianju Tower", which was the earliest building of Ta 'er Temple.

In 1577, a Chinese-style Maitreya Hall was built beside the Lotus Pagoda. Because there were towers before temples, the Han people in this area collectively called them Ta 'er Temple.

on that day, stroking the prayer wheel, I was thinking that I should go all the way to Tibet and go to a Buddhist appointment for generations.

You are the flower that I planted in my lifetime, and it will bloom in the dust and open on the road that I must pass in this life.

in this life, I turned mountains and waters to stupas, not to repair the afterlife, but to come to your temple.

In the poem of Cangyang Gyatso, he said, "I asked Buddha: How can I be as wise as you? Buddha said: Buddha is a person who has experienced it, and man is a future Buddha. I was as naive as you. " Therefore, in the reincarnation of the past, we are * * *.

Ten years after graduating from college, my dear friends and I gathered in Qinghai for Xiaoxiao's wedding, so we had the honor to join hands with you in this appointment of Ta 'er Temple.

It is my most beautiful meeting to meet you, know each other and become friends with each other in this life.

This road is also full of laughter and laughter because of you. I hope we will have more opportunities in the future, and we can go further together.

I also hope that no matter how far we go, we won't forget why we started, and we will always keep our original heart.

What shocked me most was the worshippers who came here to kowtow. It was said that they would kowtow 111,111 times in their life, and whenever they had free time, they would kowtow. Therefore, Ta 'er Temple is also called the first stop for pilgrims.
