Editor's note
This article introduces the past and present of Ta'er Temple, its organizational structure as the highest institution of learning in Huangjiao , and its rich decorations in the temple, and briefly describes the spread and evolution of Buddhism in China. Before liberation, the power of religious theocracy was far greater than that of the state in some areas. The author ruthlessly satirized and exposed some ugly behaviors such as lamas not practicing sacrificial teachings, smoking, alcohol, prostitution, and gambling.
Today, with the help of the beautiful words left behind, we can feel the power of the Huang Cult and its breeding disadvantages during the Republic of China.
The previous article of this article: overlooking Ta'er Temple Town, 1933
The monks and Buddha Hall in the valley are unilateral and majestic, with green pines, paved on the mountain, willows and trees, and clusters beside the stream. The famous Jinwa Temple, when the setting sun shines, it shines brilliantly and dazzlingly. The temples are listed east and west on the hillside, separated by the stream, and connected by rainbow bridges. When crossing the bridge, eight towers are towering, with a square dome, shaped like glass oil lamps, about meter high, arranged neatly, and looked awe-inspiringly. According to legend, during the reign of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Gengyao 4 sank the Danjin Rebellion in Luobuzang, Qinghai, and eight big trumpets were killed. The monks built a tower to commemorate it. The temple was named after the pagoda, so it was called Taer Temple. The tiles on the roof of Yuyin were golden, also known as Jinwa Temple.
Da Jinwa Temple in Ta'er Temple, 1935
There are many Buddhist temples in the temple, and there are two golden roofs, one is Da Jinwa Temple and the other is Xiao Jinwa Temple. The Dajinwa Temple is located in the center of the temple. The hall is three floors, magnificent, and actually is copper-plated, stainless, dazzling, and unparalleled. There is a tall tower in the hall surrounded by yellow silk curtains. It is the foundation of the tomb of the founder of the Buddhist revolutionary Huang Sect, Tsongkhapa (commonly known as the treasure Buddha). The statues on the top are about six feet high. It is said that they are made of pure gold, and the utensils on the table are mixed, such as magic lamps, water purification bowls, , etc., are all made of gold and silver, full of dazzlingness and sacredness.
kow long head
Many "Aka" (a name for Tibetan Buddhist monks in Ando Qinghai) barefoot bald head without pants, wearing a cassock, and unable to kowtow all day long. The floor more than two inches thick was worn through. It is said that the floor needs to be changed twice or three times a year, and the admiration can be imagined.
Xiaojinwa Temple is near the eight pagodas, with bodies such as tigers, leopards, wild boars, bisons, and wild bears. They are listed on the left side of the hall, like a small museum.
praises the birthday tree , in Jinwa Temple, it is about two meters high and five or six inches in diameter, and the branches and leaves are very similar to birch , and the tree name is a Tibetan translation. When Tsongkhapa was born, this tree was born in his mother's place where he was buried in his sediment. The monks of the temple regarded his leaves as Buddha statues and regarded them as divine objects.
The main hall of Ta'er Temple, 1933
There is a sutra hall in front of the Dajinwa Temple. It is a place where monks preach and recite the Buddha's name. The base of the house is 130 abbot, divided into two floors, with a total of 260 rooms, 28 rooms in the middle and 28 rooms are connected up and down, and there are buildings around it. The colorful blankets run through the hall and can accommodate thousands of people. From this, it can be seen that the temple is said to have 3,600 monks, and at most, only a thousand people can enter the hall to read the scriptures. The buildings are all Indian, also known as Central Asian and Western Asian. The walls are made of green bricks, mala stones and flat hemp roots ( wild plants ) intersecting with eaves and pillars, and carved extremely exquisite. In addition to solemnity and beauty, it represents the spirit of Buddhist art. When it enters it, it is mysterious and quiet, full of religious colors.
The northeast corner of the Great Sutra Hall is a large tea room, with three copper pots, about seven feet in diameter and five and a half feet in height. There are also three trunks in smaller copper pots, five feet in diameter and about four feet in height, which can be called Buddha's large castings. A group of men (little monks) transported tea and rushed to the front, busy as ants. In addition, there are 80 places including Ajiajiwa, Saijiwa, Shehu Hospital, etc. The buildings have their own characteristics and cannot be admired one by one.
Tar Temple is the birthplace of Zangkhapa, the founder of the Yellow Sect, and is also the highest school in Chinese Buddhism, with an internal organization, one of which is a modern school. The so-called "Four Great Ralangs" have a lama in charge of the entire temple's academic affairs. Therefore, the temple is equal to the school, the Ralang is equal to the Academic Affairs Office, and Jiwa is equal to the Affairs Office. The great lama of Dalang is equivalent to the school's education chief, and the great master of Dajiwa is equivalent to the school's affairs chief. However, there are eighty places in each place, each of which is reincarnated and reincarnated, which is the characteristic of the Yellow Sect.For example, the Great Sutra Hall is the school’s classroom, the Society Fire Court is the art academy or club, and so on, everything is no different from the school’s organization. In addition to chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, monks also have special researchers in painting, music, and handicraft art.
Butter Flowers - one of the "three art talents" of Ta'er Temple. 1936
holds a meeting every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is called observing the scriptures in the first lunar month. It is extremely lively and is the same as the school entertainment event, but it contains the meaning of praying for gods and Buddhas. The flower stand is made of various Buddhist temples, flowers, trees, birds and beasts created by butter (emulsion oil). Under the display and lights, it is layered and arranged as a Buddhist temple. The statues are vivid, the flowers and trees are fresh and beautiful, and the art is as exquisite as that of the European Greeks.
Jingye Temple, one of the "Eight Buddhist Sects" in China, the ancestral home of the "Vius Sects",
Buddhism originated in India, was introduced to China during the Han Dynasty, and was the most prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Emperors of all dynasties have no substitute for their beliefs. Southern Liang Emperor Wu cut his hair and practiced Buddhism before sacrificing himself in Taicheng. Therefore, Chinese culture has been the most influenced by Buddhism. The Buddhist sects have been created and created in China, namely Huayan, Tiantai, Pure Land, Zen, etc. Sects are also divided into four major sects. 1. Sakyamuni: All Huayan, Tiantai, and Zen Buddhism belong to them; 2. Dari Buddhism: all the truth belong to them; 3. Maitreya Buddhism : Pure Land Buddhism belongs to them; 4. Lamaism: Red Buddhism belongs to them.
Lamaism was founded in Tibet during the Southern and Northern Dynasties . All believers wore red cassocks and were later introduced to Qinghai and Tibet. The Ming Yongle time Tsongkhapa was born in the fifteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Yongle (1417), and passed away in the fifteenth year of Chenghua (1479). When he was young, he witnessed the fall of the teaching style. At that time, Lamas chanted talismans and used illusions, which violated the teachings and were unspeakable. Then he went to Daxue Mountain to practice hard, swearing to reform religion, and establishing other teachings. The Dalai Lama in the former Tibetan, the Panchen Lama in the later Tibetan, and the Zhebuzundanba in the Mongolian, were his great disciples. His disciples were all dressed in yellow, did not marry, and still practiced hard. They reincarnated for generations and were always immortal. From then on, there were differences between the Yellow and Red Lamas in the Lamas.
Lama, 1936
However, nowadays, the general "lama" and "Akka" only know how to coax the monks in the sutra hall and kowtow in front of the mud Buddha. How many people can read and interpret the sutras? As for the temples in Qinghai, there are thousands of hectares of fields and mountains. Tenants pay grain to serve, monks eat without farming and wear clothes without weaving. They can only share profits and not produce. even does not understand the doctrine, does not adhere to the duties of , is extravagant and lazy, is tobacco, alcohol, prostitution, and gambling, and does everything. He is the sinner of Buddhism and the worm of society. During the Yongzheng period, Prince Fruit sent the Dalai Lama back to hide his calves, and was also moved by this. He wrote the sentence " Seven-stroke " and the same as what I saw. Therefore, (so) recorded it to confirm what I said.
,000 bald heads, cymbals cymbals hilariously. I recite the confused mantra and think of the mandarin duck. The eyes were black and oily, like birds and animals, with partiality and exposed shoulders, and black painted steel forked hands. Therefore, the Three Refuges and Five Refuges are included in one stroke.
send a Hada , which is equivalent to sending a horse
20, boarding a journey at dawn, crossing mountains and ridges, and at noon to Luohantang (common Guide County ) , at the foot of a mountain, a plain appears, after a curved river bypasses the village, the fruit trees in the village are shaded, and red and green fruits are stacked on the branches, which is mouth-watering. The buckwheat in the field is blooming pink flowers, dotted in the green shade, the scenery is beautiful, and there are endless (viewing and fun) . There are about 20 or 30 families, most of which are farming and pastoral people. The fields are around the village, and the pasture is also set up in the deep mountains and wilderness.
The village’s Hongbu (Fanmin called the village chief Hongbu) heard that we were coming, so he invited him to rest. He was about to arrive at the port. Suddenly, he heard the ringtone ringing. It seemed that the lama was chanting scriptures. He asked him why, and replied: “This year the crops have not been hailed by (bèi, suffered) . The villagers recited scriptures and chanted Buddha’s name as usual to repay the heavens.” This situation is completely a ruin of the era of the divine power. So after the refreshment, I ate some overripe apricots and a pear that was not yet very ripe.
Before leaving, the red cloth gave each of us a " Hada ". It is said that although this is a useless piece of light blue thick silk , it is only produced in the West - India. Giving someone a Hada is equivalent to sending a horse. Everyone found it interesting after hearing this, so they had to stay for the souvenir. I traveled a hundred miles a day and stayed overnight at and erga . I recalled the scenery of Luohan Hall all the way, and then became a distorted poem, which I told myself.
The stream is clear and lingering back to the village, the fruit trees are lush and the wheat is full of millet.
buckwheat flowers dotted among them, like a green shade.
lay a few bright red blankets.
crossed the river and went up the slope.
bypassed a short red wall.
weeping willows and poplars , swaying in Shenzhen and Hong Kong,
cows lie tiredly next to the gate,
orioles sing on the willow branches,
benchmark stands high, and the sutra tower is in sight.
suddenly burst into ringtone,
ding, ding!
