The heavenly Buddha kingdom is the world's serda
Weiwei Bayan Kala Mountain extends into the territory of Sichuan, with the magnificence of Nianbao Yuze Peak on the north side, and the shocking red sea in the Larung Gar Gully on the south side. In the various information on the Internet and books, Seda has become a mysterious and sacred place on the western Sichuan Plateau, which has aroused people's endless associations and yearnings.
This is the only Amdo Tibetan area in Ganzi Prefecture, and when people first see this clean and tidy plateau town in order to go to Larung Gar, they may not feel much of the shock and piety of imagination. The bustling tourism industry has brought it a convenient and fast infrastructure, and although people may suffer from headaches here, Seta and Larung Gar are like the overture and climax of a symphony, all of which are interpreting the connotation of getting better.
Introduction to Seda County
Located in the northwest hilly plateau area of Sichuan Province, it is a place where Tibetan Buddhist temples are concentrated, an important holy place for Tibetan Buddhism in China, and the world's largest Tibetan Buddhist Wuming Buddhist Institute. Seda is known for its magnificent natural scenery and rich history and culture. With majestic snow-capped mountains, primeval forests, vast grasslands and clear lakes, temples of different styles and prayer flags hanging all over the cliff intersections, rendering the faint sound of Buddha and the magical Tibetan Buddhist culture, depicting a strange and wonderful plateau nature and cultural picture, being in it is like entering a magical world, and every scenery is refreshing and pleasant.
Larung Gar
This large Nyingma monastery was very young, but it quickly became one of the holy places. The reason is complex and easy to summarize, the proverb "Don't sacrifice your own way, don't disturb his heart" is engraved in the hearts of everyone here, the visual impact of the red mountains and seas and the pious eyes and footsteps of many practitioners, all point to the shocking mysterious power here.
Larung Gar looks large from the outside, but it's not a stretch of effort to be in it. With the main scripture hall of Larung Gar in the center as the center, the Zeng Juemu district is below, and the Zhaba district is above, which is clear and clear. Although there are many houses and the magnificent Great Scripture Hall is eye-catching, it is not open to the public. The in-house shop, supermarket is open to everyone and you can buy souvenirs and food.
Deng Deng Qu Deng Buddha Demon Tower
The height of this tower is very unique in Sichuan, and it has a history of more than 100 years since it was built. If staying in Seko Town, this exquisite and spectacular stupa is worth a visit. There are also Golden Horse Square and King Gesar statue in the county town for leisure tours, which are not far away and there are shared electric vehicles in the county town that can be ridden.
Celestial burial, the last good deed
Seda Heavenly Burial Terrace, about seven kilometers away from Seda County, climbs all the way to the mountain, the altitude is about 4300 meters, and the Heavenly Burial Platform is located on the top of the mountain with a wide field of vision.
Tibetans regard death as life, after death, people ask the lama to recite sutras, choose a good day for the funeral, the celestial burial master strips the clothes of the deceased, dismemberes the body with a hammer and a sharp blade, and then summons the vultures that have been waiting for a long time, and feeds them separately, and finally the flesh and bones are gone.
Close to the heavenly burial platform, vultures are all over the ridge, the lama is chanting sutras to overtake the dead, and the heavenly burial master pulls up a bloody curtain, although it is invisible, but the sound of sizzling can be heard from time to time. At the beginning of the ceremony, the celestial burial master blows the bone bell in his hand to signal the vultures to eat. The vultures were not as rough as I had imagined, they approached in small steps, chewing slowly without fighting.
Sky burial is also the generosity of the Tibetan people, and after death, the body is given to the vulture, which is the last sacrifice of the body. The soul is separated from the body and enters a new reincarnation, and the corpse is a useless skin that feeds the vulture, and it is also the last good deed of life.
Admission to the burial platform is free. Every time there is a heavenly burial ceremony, the surrounding lamas and Juemu have to go to chant for the deceased, which also attracts many good men and women to watch. Nowadays, visitors can only watch from a distance and cannot see up close.
