Beyond the morning bell and evening drum, walking in the vein of faith

#Sign up for tripbest July Hotel Tester Located in Xiahe, Gannan, Labrang Monastery is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Walking into this temple, the golden roof gleams in the sun, the sound of chanting and wind chimes interweave, and the whole town seems to be immersed in a sacred rhythm. The monks in the temple are wearing red robes, walking with their heads down, or chanting sutras. I walked quietly in the prayer corridor, touching the prayer wheels with my hands, and every turn is a dialogue with my heart. Standing outside the big scripture hall, looking at the believers sitting cross-legged in the square, some with smiles on their faces, some with their eyes closed, the determination and serenity deeply touched me. The faith here is not a superficial ritual, but a way of life deeply rooted in the bones and blood. Labrang Monastery made me truly understand the meaning of "cultivation" for the first time. It is not just asceticism or staying away from the world, but guarding the light in your heart day after day. When I left, the melody of the Tibetan chanting was still echoing in my mind - it was a kind of peace and strength from the depths of the soul.
