Chapter 2185
When ye Guangrong and Liu Qingqing enter the Jokhang Temple, they first enter a courtyard like courtyard with rows of butter lamps on the east side of the courtyard.
Even in the daytime, these butter lamps are on. Buddhists pay special attention to keeping the lights on. Naturally, special people add butter to these lamps.
Behind this is the main gate of the main hall of the Jokhang Temple. The earliest buildings of the Jokhang Temple started here and then slowly expanded.
Different from those devout believers, ye Guangrong and Liu Qingqing are tourists, looking around at the surrounding scenery.
However, like many temples, although there are many people in this temple, they are very quiet. Everyone in this temple is pressed by the solemn atmosphere and dare not speak aloud, for fear that his voice will disturb the gods and Buddhas.
Tibetan Buddhism has a history of more than 1300 years here. Its development is complicated and tortuous, with numerous sects and sects and complicated doctrines.
Entering the Tibetan Plateau, the environment and atmosphere here are all deeply imprinted with the mark of Buddha.
The most superficial appearance is that compared with the famous temples and ancient temples, the temples here are not very impressive. The halls are not grand enough, and the temples are not big enough. However, they seem to be close to the monks and common believers.
There are many monasteries in Tibetan Buddhist areas, just like churches in the south. As long as there are believers, there will be corresponding facilities for worship and prayer.
In addition to giving up their family and business to make pilgrimage to the Holy Land in their heart to return their long cherished wish, believers can turn around to worship Buddha in the nearest temple at any time.
The temples here charge for tourists, but they are free for pilgrims.
At this point, basically no tourists will complain.
During the pilgrimage on the vast Tibetan Plateau, many worn-out shoes, gloves, sheepskin aprons, hand boards and countless pilgrims died on the way.
A fallen person will be taken with one of his teeth by his companions and continue to move forward. When he reaches the end, he will embed it on a pillar of the Jokhang Temple, which represents that he has completed the pilgrimage.
The pillar, in the dark hall, looks no different from other pillars. Only when the light passes through its body can we see that it is covered with bone nails.
For the sake of his inner belief, such a devout believer can ignore the long mountains and rivers, ignore the perils, leave his home to the holy land, measure the distance of belief step by step with his body, and finally get the lightness of his soul
This kind of perseverance, this kind of courage, this kind of persistence, this kind of patience, this kind of piety, no matter which is worthy of respect.
The believers here are devout, and the temples here, in Ye Guangrong's opinion, are also the temples in everyone's mind.
You should know that in temples in other parts of China, it's common for a high incense column to cost hundreds of yuan. A dime or a dollar is not enough, and you can't buy a incense column. Monks in temples will despise you.
In many parts of China, temples have been completely commercialized, and even the monks in them are no longer real monks.
But it's different here. Ye Guangrong often sees believers offering a few cents to Buddha.
If you don't even have a dime, these believers can make up for it by themselves from the offering box. No one will say anything and no shame.
Even if there is no money to offer, it is the same for believers to bring home-made butter and add it to the butter lamp in front of the Buddha.
"Honey, let's go in and worship Buddha!"
At the gate of the hall, Liu Qingqing whispered to Ye Rongrong.
During this trip to Tibet, Liu Qingqing came to ask for a son. Naturally, he would enter the temple and worship the Buddha.
"Well!"
Ye Guangrong nods and takes Liu Qingqing into the hall.
Now that I have come, I will offer incense to these gods and Buddhas.
Due to the friction of believers for many years, the stone floor at the entrance is as bright as a mirror, and there is a huge Buddha statue on both sides of the hall.
On the left is lianhuasheng, the founder of the red cross sect. He was originally a Buddhist of Yindu. He entered Tibet in the eighth century. After he entered Tibet, there began to be Tantrism in Western Tibet. On the right is the future Buddha.
The future Buddha is also called Maitreya Buddha, also called Donglai Buddha. The Tibetan language "Qiangba" is the Buddha that dominates the future world in Buddhism.
Maitreya Buddha is widely believed and popular among Chinese people. Maitreya is the transliteration abbreviation of Sanskrit, which means "Tzu Shi".
It is said that Maitreya is always compassionate. His layman's name is ayido, which means "powerless victory". According to the Buddhist scriptures, Maitreya was born in a Brahman family in ancient Indo Bologna, and was a powerful contemporary with Sakyamuni Buddha.
Liu Qingqing holds Ye Guangrong's hand. As long as he is a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, Liu Qingqing will kneel down devoutly and recite in a low voice.
Although the voice is very small, ye Guangrong can still hear that Liu Qingqing is asking the Buddha to help her get pregnant and give birth to a big fat boy.
From the main hall, the two continued to walk right through the two sides of the Yacha hall and the Dragon King Hall. Behind the hundreds of burnt butter lamps is the famous "juekang" Buddha Hall.It is not only the main body of the Jokhang Temple, but also the place of the fine Buddha of the Jokhang Temple.
From the Sutra hall, you can see the exquisite statue of Avalokitesvara with thousands of hands and eyes. There are two Buddha statues on both sides. On the left is lianhuasheng and on the right is Qiangba Buddha.
All around the Sutra hall are small Buddhist halls. Except for the Sakyamuni Buddhist hall in the center, the rooms are small but the layout is simple.
Sakyamuni Buddhist hall is the core of Jokhang Temple, which is the ultimate yearning of pilgrims.
According to records, the statue of Sakyamuni in this hall is a Buddha statue brought by Princess Wencheng from the Tang Dynasty.
Because this Buddha statue is the equivalent of Sakyamuni when he was 12 years old, it has a supreme position in the minds of Tibetan Buddhist believers.
It is said that when Sakyamuni was dying under the bodhi tree, his disciples begged the Buddha to leave a real image, so as to guide all living beings from generation to generation.
The Buddha nodded and agreed, so the disciples created three statues of the Buddha at the age of eight, twelve and thirty.
Among them, the 8-year-old and 12-year-old statues were created by asking Sakyamuni's wet nurse to describe the young Buddha.
After Sakyamuni himself blessed the three Buddha statues, he passed away under the bodhi tree. When Princess Chizun of Nebraska entered Tibet, the dowry gift given by King Nebraska to Zanpu of Tubo was the eight year old Buddha.
During the reign of Zhenguan, Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty brought to Tubo the statues of twelve year old Buddha.
After worshiping the Sakyamuni Buddha, today's goal will be achieved.
"Wife, are you hungry?"
Ye Rongrong looks at Liu Qingqing and says.
It's also physical work to worship Buddha all the way. I'm hungry!
