Jokhang Temple, also known as "Zurakung" and "Kyaw Kang" (Tibetan for Buddha Temple), is located in the center of the old city of Lhasa, is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery built by the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo, and the reason why Lhasa is called a "holy place" is also related to this Buddha statue. After the completion of the Jokhang Temple, it was repeatedly modified and expanded by the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties to form the current scale.
With a history of more than 1,300 years today, jokhang temple holds a supreme position in Tibetan Buddhism. It is said that Tibet is the last piece of pure land, and it is also the closest place to heaven, where the sky is bluer than anywhere, and the clouds are whiter than anywhere, and the first time I heard about this place, I was full of infinite curiosity about this place, and I couldn't wait to step on that pure land. Do you believe in Buddhism? If there is a Buddha in the heart, there is one.
What the faithful have given is the power of faith. Jokhang Temple is not only a temple dedicated to many Buddha statues and holy relics for believers to worship, it is also a three-dimensional and true reproduction of the tantric doctrine of mandala (mandala), the ideal model of the universe in Buddhism.
The road to heaven, looking back at the dream.
In this inaccessible valley, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, tens of thousands of wild peach blossoms bloom freely, like a fairyland, so Tibet is called "the most beautiful spring in China". Let go of your troublesome work, do your homework, give yourself a good vacation, go to see the Potala Palace in the warm sun after the snow, visit the temples with few tourists, listen to the scriptures, and hang out in the sun for an afternoon. If you are not busy, find a tea house, order a cup of sweet tea, sit at the door, bask in the sun, this city of sunshine, the most important thing is the sun.
If you are not impulsive when you are young, why should you be touched again when you are old?
In the heart of every traveler there is a paradise, pure air, blue sky, sincere eyes, devout faith. I don't know when it started, but my heart began to plant the seeds of Tibet. Over the years, a person always feels that he has experienced too much, and he also wants to give himself a vacation, let go of all his worries and go to the streets of Lhasa, drink a cup of sweet tea, in this pure land, I just want to live well.
Reaching out to touch this pure land, my heart was also clean.
