After eating lunch, we came to the Jokhang Temple. Far you can see the door of the Jokhang Temple smoke Yin Yun, the crowds keep on coming, as if still lively than the Potala Palace.
Gradually we approached the Jokhang Temple, the entrance plaza of the streamer on the two tall flagpole adding to a number of people in awe. "Look, there are a lot of people kowtowing it!" A tour, then caught my attention, really, there are so many people in front of the Jokhang Monastery Jokhang Temple knock the door of the long head, the kind of body cast to type 5 kowtow really makes me awe, at this moment I can not help but suspect that in other places to worship the Buddha's people, they are not really such a devout Tibetans do? ! Kowtowing There are many people who have aged, middle-aged, young, and come there are still children! No matter what age they are, there is one thing in common, that is pious, each kowtow people are dedicated to knock of their Buddha, seek the things they are for us to watch this at the edge of the visitors, I do not know too familiar with the the contrary, surprising, or simply single-minded tourists did not find the existence of those of us short, they are doing a similar thing: hard to knock a long head, 5 body to vote to! Even in front of large bluestone floors are raw naked.
Into the Jokhang Temple, are catching up with a Living Buddha statue for a ceremony for the opening of light, we are fortunate to have witnessed the practice of Living Buddha things Zhong Lama armed with a variety of instruments used in the collective chanting, and then both hands and a Fawu lamas each clockwise around the temple walking, eventually the pilgrims who came into the monastery were also everybody, followed by monks who walk, and countless more in the Jokhang Temple in the way everyone in a large turn prayer wheels turning a times.
Finally saw the sign when the gold bottle Zhi scene: 12-year-old life-sized, like the Buddha. Front of the statue sacred serenity everywhere Hada, butter lamps, holy water, barley powder, as well as that in Shanghai, has been for several years can not see a dime of the notes, it is the Tibetans who Xian's support. People who worship devoutly bowed, Tim butter, sprinkle barley, Hsien-dependent, they are doing all this carefully, as if every man is born will be general, skillfully, reverently, quietly, carefully and doing all of this. There are monks who sat next to the consecration of the classics, doing homework.
I just want my husband to turn prayer wheels in the large shadow side to leave when they found he had disappeared. He has been not wait to start turning the project, and it said to turn upon any one time can not be missed by the cylinder, and must be a change in the end, so is the pious performance. Therefore, it appears he will not be so quickly to complete this vast project, and so I can immediately join the ranks of the classics in turn, began to turn by good faith. Ah, the original is so effortless turning, not as I had seen on television in the romantic sense of the past, I always thought wearing a white, Retention black hair, light to turn with one after another golden prayer wheels, the kind of gestures, the feeling would be just how romantic and elegant, but the fact is not the case, when I finally finished all of the prayer wheels turn, my right hand is already feeling slightly numb, tired, at the same time My fingers are greasy to stick attached, there was a good concentration of the butter flavor, it does not like the taste of butter lamps in the butter, but that seems to have every other flavor of a year, I used the three Wipes Paper only slightly to a point of taste, in fact, it should be a sacred Buddha's instructions to the bar, but I really can not be used.
Walking endless Buddhist temple, the endless the Buddha, heard endless butter taste, listening to endless verses, and this is the famous Jokhang Temple. As if the people of Tibet, is to those born, but there is, perhaps they will end in this life, they will not all out of Tibet, they even have never seen a train, they have never seen ships, but they lead a better life comfortable, they can live properly, they can live Youziyouwei, because they worship the same mind, and only the same, that is - Buddha!
