Sanjiang Source Direct Burning Temple

Wen, photographed Shang straight burning temple, located in the Sanjiang source, Kekexili Nature Reserve, the eastern end of the Qumar He source, is located at an average elevation of 5000 meters or so alpine permafrost zone. This is a monastery of Tibetan Buddhism Nyingma faction. The herdsmen around the monastery are the ancestors from the fruit of the State migration to this, direct burning temple is also as the fruit of the Mother Temple Ahan Temple Branch and established the monastery.　　Its predecessor has been the tent monastery, until 1983, only then the temple's only old monk with three local herdsmen self-financing, with a tractor as a means of transport, using the local soil and stone, spent four years to base the Adobe Monastery. Perhaps because there is such a life, so now the direct burning temple compared with other monasteries, neither majestic nor magnificent, even less than the habitation of herdsmen. However, in such a seemingly humble obscurity of the "small" monastery, but the concentration of Ninmazo Qin's classic heritage.　　In the mind of the pedestrian, the Adobe Hall of Heaven and Earth is incomparable and is the closest to the Buddha. Today, the direct burning temple is not only the spiritual home of the herdsmen, but also their cultural center and the Prairie Hospital.　　When they loved the living Buddha--Bai Madan to the monastery from afar, they were like celebrating the festival, riding a horse, driving a motorcycle, carrying a sack of cow dung, gathered in the monastery, to celebrate the prayer.　　The herdsmen of direct burning ditch under the guidance of the perennial Kagon Baimadan although living at an altitude of more than 5000 meters in the Alpine zone, but can not see a person wearing wild animal fur; During the Buddha-day law, the herdsmen will consciously hold the precepts, and some of them have even been able to do the whole family for many years without eating meat. I once felt in the evening of a thunderstorm of thunder and lightning: if it were not for the power of pious faith, the walls of the small monastery, which had been cracked and mingled, would not have survived today.　　It seems to me that this fragile monastery of building materials is completely solidified by the spirit of man. Yi Sichoma is the Nimaven of the Agara, Eve early age is already three children's mother.　　The older daughter has arrived at the age of school, the youngest son Mika less than two years old, but has been master received as a monk, last year gave birth to a little daughter, now just will stand. Nimaven Add a family, is a distance from the monastery of a herdsman, but also because of bad conditions, located under the temple of their house has been used as a warehouse, the family moved to the Qinghai-Tibet railway near the building of a metal house to live. But Nimaven's ranch was still around the monastery, so he often came to the monastery to graze. When Rinpoche went out for a long time, he took charge of taking care of the property of the monastery.　　And Bai Madan Rinpoche in this retreat in the days, but also by this family of fire to send rice. This time, the family saw from afar back Rinpoche, as always, close. However, the situation of Sichoma is not good. That evening, the herdsmen who came to greet Rinpoche dispersed, and the NI family came to the monastery again. Yi Sichoma a painful way to open his coat, Rinpoche, Zaga Master and an old monk who was present frowned, the original benefits SichomaNipple inflammation, has been inflamed, sore face even some festering. There are no basic medical facilities in the area, and herders are easily delayed into more serious illnesses. In the days of Rinpoche, the monastery became an obligatory clinic, a doctor, an injection, a drug, and a needle. Rinpoche himself was a doctor, Zoru from the famous Tibetan medicine family. Zelang, a young man who has studied Western medicine in medical school and has not stopped seeing people since the age of youth, has a wealth of clinical experience, plus a blessing as Rinpoche, so that patients treated by him have a significant effect.　　So people enk Bayern Munich at the same time, will immediately tell Rinpoche the symptoms of his physical discomfort. Law will be a successful end of the day, the herdsmen Gezat brought a horse to the temple doorway, and to direct burning temple of the host-Bai Madan wave cut presented a white hada. Rinpoche took over Hada, while chanting and playing the knot. Gezat unloaded the saddle, Rinpoche smoothed out a bunch of long hair on horseback, will play a good horse together with the dozen The, and then, stroking the horse's forehead, has been deeply read.　　Rinpoche's voice stopped, Gezat a horse after the end of a car, like a just finished test children, stand on the front hoof, point head ran to the hillside, it that unrestrained lively appearance, infected with the side of me. I asked the Guru, what is this? The teacher said: "Release." The Tibetan and the first day of the boundless release, so Gezat in the FA will end of the auspicious days, put their own horse released, from now on, it no longer wear a saddle, controlled by people, and can live to the end of life free.　　Because the horse is tied with the Rempochega, so the other herdsmen encounter it, know it is released horse, will not interfere with its free life. The moment the horse was released, I felt a strong sense of freedom. In fact, for animals, from the butcher's knife, to return to nature, is to get new life. And people, let us feel the obstacles to the freedom of slavery, as a Buddhist master said, are "because we can not absolve ourselves of arrogance, lust, anticipation and fear."
