In Shagong Township, about 37 kilometers away from the county seat of Dingqing County in Qamdo, Tibet, there is a unique temple called Zheluo Temple on Zizhu Mountain at an altitude of 4,800 meters. There are many temples and monasteries hanging on the cliff, which are very spectacular and do not seem to exist in this world.
From the 3 17 national road to Tibet by car, to Dingqing County, Zheluo Temple must not be missed. However, the journey to Zedrol Monastery is really not that easy. When you get off the national highway and head for Zedrol Temple, the next country road is more tortuous. Mountain roads are all sandy roads, rugged and winding, with bare cliffs on one side and deep valleys on the other.
Through this life-and-death canyon, behind it is a steep Panshan road that climbs all the way. There were countless turns back on the way, and there were 43 turns back in the bumps. The dirt road up the mountain in rainy season is muddy. The altitude has also risen sharply, and the mountain road has climbed more than 900 meters in just a dozen kilometers. Danger in danger, if it is not a believer, good vehicle power and excellent driving skills of drivers, it is really difficult to reach.
If you are lucky, you can also see flocks of blue-gray rock sheep. This is their home, where all living things live together and thrive. Rock sheep are not too afraid of people, but there is no difference between life and life. Blue sheep inhabit the alpine bare rock zone between 2100-6300m above sea level. As long as they have a foot edge on the cliff, they can climb up and jump quickly between rocks. They are charming spirits jumping on cliffs, fighting against natural enemies such as snow leopards, jackals, wolves, vultures and golden eagles, stubbornly defending their lives and surviving in this natural barrier with their tenacity.
After the ups and downs, the Zedrol Monastery suspended in the clouds suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Zedrow Monastery, built on a cliff, is magnificent. Zezhuoer Temple, 37 kilometers away from the county seat, is about 4,800 meters above sea level. It is one of the highest temples in Tibet, the oldest, most important and largest Bonism temple in existence, and the largest Bonism temple with the largest number of followers in all Tibetan areas. This temple was built 3000 years ago. Initiated by the second generation of Tibetan king Mu Chi Zanpu, the first master Mu Bang Sa Dong was founded and passed down. Now is the 43rd reincarnation.
Zizhu Mountain, where Zheluo Temple is located, is towering and steep, and it is one of the four sacred mountains in the legend of Bonism (the other three are Gangdise Mountain in Ali, Benyue Mountain in Linzhi and Meili Snow Mountain in Yulong). "Zizhu" means "six peaks" in Tibetan. According to classic records, Zizhu Mountain is the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The Six Peaks symbolize Guanyin Bodhisattva's compassion and wisdom for six sentient beings, and represent giving, keeping precepts, enduring humiliation, diligence, meditation and prajna in the six-degree journey. Buddha Rao Xin Mivo once preached Dharma in Zizhu Mountain and gave him great blessings.
At present, the six peaks of Zizhu Mountain are inlaid with temples, halls and monasteries from high to low, forming a strange landscape with temples in the mountains and mountains in the temples. In order to stay away from secular pure practice, many practitioners gain enlightenment in the practice cave on the cliff. Looking back at the cruel dispute between Buddhism and benzene in Tibetan history, and then looking at the Zheluo Temple close at hand, I have to feel the power of faith!
The snow-capped mountains opposite Zizhu Temple are majestic and clear, and they have been like a day for thousands of years. There was nothing, so where is the dust?
Bonism has always advocated penance, so most of Bonism's temples are built on steep mountains. Zizhu Mountain is a rugged mountain, which looks like five fingers of an old man. It has been weathered by wind, rain and sun. Zheluo Temple is in this towering "Wuzhishan", burning butter lamps and chanting the sound of menstruation. Despite the changes of clouds behind him, Zedrol Temple was calm and unmoved.
There is a hollow peak which is the third peak of Zizhu Mountain. It is said that this hole was left by a Dapeng bird when it passed the mountain. Because it is like a suspended mirror, it can see the heart of the world and the emptiness of the world, so the third peak is also called "sexual peak".
The practice hut on the cliff next to the cave was built by later generations. It was originally just a cave. According to legend, Champonaka (born in 9 15 BC in the Womolongren Holy Land, like the Prince, Manjusri incarnate, known as the "father of Tantric Buddhism" and the first of the eighty achievements of Xianggong) once practiced in this cave, and there are still footprints left by Champonaka's practice in this cave.
Legend has it that the second mountain peak is called "Jiejing", which means "clean". It is a place where nature wants to be clean, and the newly-built Jing Tang is located here. In addition, there are some small houses embedded in the rock wall on its left, hanging there in a patchwork manner, full of miraculous atmosphere.
Bonism is not Tibetan Buddhism. Bonism is divided into "primitive Bonism" and "forever Bonism". Now, Zheluo Temple has inherited "Boni teaching in harmony", which is a teaching method handed down by Buddha Rao Xin Miwo. It is the local religion of the Tibetan people, and it is also called "Ancient Elephant Male Buddhism" because it sprouted and grew in the ancient elephant male period around the 4th century BC. "Xiangxiong" means "Dapeng bird" in Chinese, and the ancient Xiangxiong civilization was developed with the spread of "eternal religion" as the main line. The ancient Xiangxiong civilization is the source of Tibetan civilization and the "root" and "soul" of the Tibetan nation. It was the national religion of Tibetans during the Tubo period, which was very primitive, long-term and exclusive. Buddhism is a sect handed down from Nepal and the Tang Dynasty, which is very encouraging and tolerant.
However, in the struggle with Tibetan Buddhism for thousands of years, Bonism gradually absorbed a lot of Buddhist things. Bonism and Tibetan Buddhism have some similar or identical characteristics, but there are also many different or even fundamentally opposite contents. Bonism is marked by "ten thousand characters", which is contrary to the "ten thousand characters" symbol in Tibetan Buddhism. "The swastika used by the Nazi Party" is called "harmony" and is a symbol of Bonism. The symbol "the swastika used by the Nazis" can be seen everywhere in Bonism temples, pagodas, scriptures, houses, clothes and hats of believers. In Buddhism, the symbol of "swastika used by the Nazi Party", which is called "Wan Zi" or "De Zi", is opposite to the Bonism symbol, but its meaning and social function are consistent. The turn of Bonism is completely opposite to that of Tibetan Buddhism. Bonism requires believers to walk counterclockwise when turning meridians, turn the meridian wheel with their right hand and pull the meridian tube with their left hand. Tibetan Buddhism factions are just the opposite.
Zizhu Mountain is the center of the male phase of foreign elephants, and the surrounding mountains are towering and undulating, like Dapeng birds spreading their wings, walking between peaks and valleys, just like undulating with Dapeng birds. There are thousands of mountains and peaks, and people walk between heaven and earth in awe.
In the Zezhuoer Temple on the snowy mountain at high altitude, the natural conditions are extremely difficult, and monks practice under very difficult circumstances. There are hundreds of monks in Zheluo Temple, and the temple has opened three schools for them: Naiming, Argumentation and Meditation. In Zheluo Temple, monks should learn 187 Bonism, Tantric Buddhism and dzogchen Classics from Naiming to Meditation.
Because it is remote, few outsiders come here, and there is no other place to live on the mountain except the school and the yogi's hut. If there are tourists here, the lamas on the mountain will smile and nod kindly.
Zheluo Temple, standing quietly in this remote corner of eastern Tibet, has to go through difficulties and obstacles all the way, and its body is extremely tired, as if it were doing pure penance. However, here, looking up at the towering mountains, the sky is endless, everything is gathered, born naturally, and the heart is quiet and vast. I'm very touched. It's fate to be here. Snow-capped mountains surround us, eagles hover at the top of the mountain, and flags fly in the wind. They are all together guarding this sacred place. ...
