Chapter 381: Jokhang Temple
Obviously it was a very Zen word, but Luo Tong just heard a kind of regret. Looking at the people not far away reverently turning the scriptures, Luo Tong tilted his head, "Let's go over and feel it too?"
In fact, she can't understand why people in Tibetan areas believe in Buddhism so much, maybe only when she actually feels it, she will have a little understanding?
Sheng Qiwu and Tsering Zhuoma were indispensable, and the three of them inserted themselves into the procession side by side. At first, Luo Tong's mentality was still a little impetuous, but seeing the serious expressions of the people around her and the words in their mouths, her heart suddenly calmed down.
Slowly moving the prayer wheel in his hand clockwise, Luo Tong was sandwiched in the procession of the prayer turning, and slowly walked through Barkhor Street.
During this time, people kept joining, and the three of them walked like this for nearly an hour, and finally returned to the door of the shop where they had just sold prayer wheels.
Walking down in a circle, not to mention becoming a fanatical religious believer, at least Luo Tong can understand a little bit why everyone believes in religion so much.
Maybe she doesn't know the teachings of Buddhism, but after walking in this circle, Luo Tong feels that people's mood can become peaceful, and long-term belief in Buddhism can be a good self-cultivation.
At the end of the menstrual period, a few people went to Barkhor Street and went back to the hotel to rest. In anticipation of tomorrow's trip to Jokhang Temple, Luo Tong fell asleep......
Jokhang Temple, also known as "Zulakang", Jokhang Temple has a history of more than 1,300 years and has a supreme position in Tibetan Buddhism.
The circle of the Buddha Hall of Sakyamuni in the center of the Jokhang Temple is called "Nangkuo", the circle around the outer wall of the Jokhang Temple is called "Barkor", and the street radiating out of the Jokhang Temple is called "Barkhor Street", that is, the octagonal street.
With Jokhang Temple as the center, a large circle that includes the Potala Palace, Yaowang Mountain, and Xiaozhao Temple is called "Lin Kuo". These three rings, from the inside to the outside, are the routes used by the Tibetans to perform the prayer turning ritual.
There is a lyric in "Ah Diao": The front of the Jokhang Temple is full of sunshine, which is the Jokhang Temple Square, strolling on the Jokhang Temple Square, you can see pious believers everywhere.
On the left side of the main entrance of Jokhang Temple, there are two huge prayer wheels, which are quite heavy, with tall lamas in scarlet robes turning them vigorously, and worshippers following along. The prayer wheel was polished yellow by the butter-stained hands of the worshippers.
Entering the Jokhang Temple, accompanied by the sound of chanting from time to time, the smell of ghee is suffocating. Further inside is a long roadway with golden prayer wheels lined up on one side.
Tibetans who come to worship here walk in a clockwise direction and pluck them with their hands so that they rotate with the six-character mantra being recited.
These prayer wheels are full of vicissitudes, rich experience, purified soul, and infinite charm.
Luo Tong and a few people took a good turn in the Jokhang Temple, and then they also went to famous attractions such as the Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple.
Of course, before leaving, I also went to Barkhor Street to buy a lot of saffron, cordyceps and the like. Even Tibetan carpets with national characteristics, Luo Tong also bought a lot.
Sheng Qiwu sent the courier back, how tired would it be if they were to carry it back by themselves?
After playing in Lhasa for three days, Luo Tong was still a little reluctant, but no matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave.
She can't be so selfish as to drag Tsering Zhuoma to accompany her all the time, if she wants to play, she can have a good time for a few days when she returns.
Tsering Dolma's home is on the Amdo grassland, more than 500 kilometers from Lhasa. Luo Tong and the others bumped in the car for more than eight hours before they arrived at the grassland, and Luo Tong never felt so tired from riding in the car.
When they came by plane, Sheng Qiwu directly booked the first-class cabin, which had a lot of space. It's like a car, you can't stretch your legs.
Getting out of the car, Luo Tong stretched a big lazy waist and took pity on her waist.
Looking at the past, the grassland in the distance seems to be connected with the sky, and the white clouds seem to float on the grassland. The grass is lush as far as the eye can see, and from time to time you can see white sheep and galloping horses.
The driver sent Luo Tong and a few people to the vicinity of Zhuoma's house, and the yurt room was faintly visible. Not far from the yurt, Luo Tong saw a big black and gold dog with a size similar to the mountain at home running towards them.
The speed of the big dog running with all his strength is very fast, and Luo Tong's eyesight is good, and he can see the fur on the big dog's head fluttering in the wind, just like a small lion. Luo Tong recognized this at a glance that this was Guori, and Zhuoma had shown her pictures before.
But she knew, Sheng Qiwu didn't know, seeing the big dog rushing over, Sheng Qiwu subconsciously protected Luo Tong behind him, which was his most intuitive subconscious.
Tsering Zhuoma threw away the box in his hand and ran towards the big dog.
"Guori, I miss you so much!"
She hugged the big dog's neck head-on and rolled over the grassland with the big dog. The big dog's paws rested on her shoulders, his wet tongue kept licking her face, and his throat made a whining sound, as if he was longing.
After a long time of intimacy between a man and a dog, Tsering Zhuoma let go of the big dog. The big dog also sat quietly on her lap, and Sheng Qiwu found that the dog was very large, and it was estimated that it was about the same as the big mountain at home. The whole body is black, only the paws are yellow.
It is estimated that this is iron-clad gold, Sheng Qiwu thought wildly, but still did not relax his vigilance. This Tibetan mastiff is a loyal protector, and he is worried that Tsering Dolma will not be able to control this Tibetan mastiff.
Luo Tong poked her head out from behind Sheng Qiwu, she had been blocked by Sheng Qiwu, and now that it was quiet, she naturally wanted to take a look.
She probed out just in time to meet Guori's eyes, and Luo Tong subconsciously smiled at it. Guori's front paws moved, and it seemed that he was about to rush up in the next second. It felt the smell of the person very pleasant, so that it couldn't help but get close.
Seeing Sheng Qiwu as if facing a great enemy, Tsering Zhuoma was a little embarrassed. She rubbed Guo Ri's head, "Sister Tongtong, this is my family's Tibetan mastiff, called Guo Ri." I guess it heard me, so it came out to pick me up. ”
Seeing the Tibetan mastiff sitting there gently, Sheng Qiwu's tense body gradually relaxed. Luo Tong walked out from behind Sheng Qiwu and looked at Guori generously, full of admiration.
Speaking of which, this is the first big dog she has seen that can match the momentum of the mountain. It is very powerful, tall, covered with long hair, thick and powerful claws, especially the momentum of that body, very strong.
"What a majesty!" Luo Tong praised sincerely, she really didn't exaggerate. Only when you have truly experienced the baptism of blood can you have such a fierce momentum.
Tsering Zhuoma's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he was very proud: "Guori is the most powerful, and he will go to herd sheep with Abba every day." It fought wolves before, and eventually chased them away. ”
