Everyone subconsciously knows that domestic temples are very common, and there are many temples that are famous attractions, such as White Horse Temple, Shaolin Temple, Hanshan Temple and other well-known temples.
The temple is a place where monks meditate and practice, because the temple is a product of Buddhism, and in Buddhist thought, men and women are not related and do not accept female disciples, so there are no female monks in Buddhist temples.
Because of this, since ancient times, if women have also seen through the red dust and want to become monks, where to go, it is a nunnery.
What most people don't know is that so far, there is a large-scale nunnery in China, where 20,000 women practice, that is, the Yaqing Temple in Sichuan, which is currently called "China's largest nunnery".
Compared with the freedom outside, this nunnery has strict precepts and unique temple rules, and every woman in the nunnery must abide by the rules and requirements of Lu in order to practice in this nunnery for a long time.
Don't look at the Yaqing Monastery where 20,000 nuns practice, but the actual area of the nunnery is not large, only 0.15 square kilometers, which is the size of 21 football fields.
In such a small area, but there are so many female nuns living here, what kind of attraction does this nunnery have, so that so many women volunteer to practice here, and their great youth is dedicated here?
Yaqing Monastery, whose full name is Yaqing Wujin Zenlin, was founded in 1985 and is a large Buddhist college of the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
Located in the territory of Ata Township, Changtai District, Baiyu County, Sichuan Province, across the river from Tibet, the traffic is very inconvenient, it is 122 kilometers from Baiyu County, more than 700 kilometers from Chengdu, and Serta is on the 317 National Highway Sichuan-Tibet North Line.
Yaqing Monastery belongs to the Nyingma sect, also known as the Red Sect, and is a large and influential temple in Tibet.
The women practicing in the temple are called Kyom, which is the honorific title of a Tibetan female monk.
Because of its large number of women, it is known as the "daughter country of Tibetan areas", and more than 20,000 women practice here, while men are not allowed to enter.
The geographical location of Yaqing Temple is very remote and the environment is also very harsh, so the living conditions here are very difficult and materials are scarce.
Therefore, those who practice here must be able to endure hardships. Because of the remoteness of the place, there are very few tourists who come here for sightseeing, so the atmosphere of the practice of the Kyomu is very strong.
And women who practice here cannot be contaminated with red dust, so women who come here to practice must also abide by the precepts here.
For example, after dark, they can't go out to buy things, and they can't have any food.
However, although their living conditions are very difficult, their hearts have long been abandoned by the red dust, and they can also immerse themselves in it with the green lantern ancient Buddha.
Every day, they wear uniform red clothes, so Yaqing Temple, red is the main color here.
The Juemu here have dedicated their whole lives to Buddhism, perhaps this is the power of faith.
Some people say that Yaqing Temple is like a lotus flower that blooms silently, opening up in silence and seeing the withering earthly life in silence.
