Temple & Lama
There is so much meaning behind this ordinary
appearance of Shama Temple.
If you want to know Tibetans – a nationality
who conquered Snow-capped plateau, you must
enter the house where Tibetans put their soul
– temple. Today we went to Shama Temple (Shama
is the meaning of red hat in Tibetan), because
the first governor of the Temple wore a red
hat. Shama Temple has a brilliant history
and once was called as ‘Small temple with
great magic power’. Everyday the sound of
prayers is sonorously and smoke waves in the
wind unceasingly.
The Lama in the temple warmly invited the
children and me. When he heard that we were
here to know about Huarui culture, he was
glad. He showed us a lot of collections and
led us to visit each room in the temple. He
introduced each place and collections to us
for a whole afternoon. Before we left, each
child burned cypress branches, it is said
that the smoke could open the window of Heaven
and all people in the world.
As a belief, I could say without only exaggeration,
that Tibetan Buddhism supports the whole spirits
of Tibetans. Millions of Tibetans Kowtow to
Lhasa (the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region
in China) from far away, although the travel
is especially hard and some even died from
cold, the belief in their heart is not changeable.
People should have believes after all. The
belief of Tibetans is Tibetan Buddhism. It
spreads love and truth, and with this belief,
Tibetans are frank and kind. I hope this interview
may make more people in understanding Tibetan
Buddhism and the belief of the Tibetan.
