For more directions, or would like to look at Zhongdian.
In 1933, the United Kingdom ? James Hilton novel "Lost Horizon" gave us such a fascinating picture of the picture: far away in the East a timeless quiet of the land, where peaks valleys, temples, deep, forest surrounded by cattle and sheep flocks, which is called "Shangri-La" in Xanadu.
December 17, 2001, the State Council formally approved: I agree Zhongdian County, Yunnan Province was renamed Shangri-La County. Zhongdian is the capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province, located in Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet at the junction of three provinces. Diqing has a magnificent canyons, towering snow-capped mountains, pristine lakes, wide meadows, colorful flowers to enjoy well-deserved, "Shangri-La" in the world.
Karma Dan Songzanlinsi is my first stop in Zhongdian sightseeing. In the immortal hotel opposite the three-way ride public light buses, only to spend a dollar, the car sporadically sat a few passengers, including two girls appear to come from Macao and Hong Kong, is now fully dedicated to talk with the vernacular. They are also like me to find God's glory Matsutera images Mody?
The car through the city not far to go. In 1674, the Fifth Dalai Lama petitioned Kangxi Emperor's approval, in person location, quite unique vision of a selected Shangri-La, construct this so far is still the largest in Yunnan Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, and thanks to temple name "ge-dan Songzanlinsi "; Subsequently, the Qing Emperor Yongzheng thanks to their Chinese names," naturalized Temple "; also because of its architectural pattern resembles Potala Palace in Tibet, also known as" Little Potala Palace. "
Songzanlinsi built on mountains, Block, north to south, following the Tibetan architectural style towers, a total of five levels. In the evening the sun almost in the thick of history with a sense of vigorous vigorous, solemn mystery. Although I was paid respects to the Potala Palace in Tibet, arrived at only after had approached it, I was deeply attracted to its murals.
I have seen such a scenario: a monkey and a black elephant, step by step under the guidance of the Buddha, wash their own ideas and personal considerations, swore off evil behavior, expansive in my Buddha and ultimately towards a bright future pure, becomes white elephant, rose to paradise.
'Life-cycle of Figure' interpretation of the life cycle of retribution, to persuade the people of the world is good. Us mere mortals in my vision, I have incomplete understanding of 'life-cycle of Figure' and the profound mystery, but according to a number of expansive devout Buddhist followers worship Dachetaiwu, willing to abandon fame and fortune was deeply moved by the spirit of me. Lamas have Lang Lang, the cadence of the chanting voice, floating in the sky over the temple a long time convolution. With or without religion, the total of the visitors to their senses: the human good, charitable line, discard evil, always should be the fundamental Wei Ren.
Songzanlinsi peripheral, white walls and gray tiles on the houses in the meadow stands a quiet contend with, a wooden railing on the front of the house hanging a golden barley, and meadow, Castle Peak 1, in the setting sun combined into a serene and harmonious in the pastoral scenery. Road appear from time to time a cow a dog, to the steep rise in the quiet small village a few minutes of life's vitality. In this static flow of consciousness, has no time to tell whether all this beauty of a dream is a fantasy, or reality?
I really would like to go all the way on this road, watching the setting sun, blue sky, green trees reward Bi peaks, wash the soul tired. However, I dare not the way forward, after all, Japan will be ups and downs, the quiet cul-de can not give me enough sense of security. Finally, at another a light gallop and outdated, I beckoned to stop it, very reluctant to return to the real world. Life, how many times the number of people walking is not your favorite way? Choose this path, give up Peter paths, the heart, but Peter from sticking to the path. Perhaps, there is no experience (full) is always the most beautiful? The reality is that most of the treasure? And stay in a beautiful sub-chewing in the inner thin aftertaste.
