Tibet·Zizhu Temple||The closest belief to the sky

||The closest belief to the sky. Zizhu Temple is located on the famous sacred mountain-Zizhu Mountain in Dingqing County, Changdu Region, eastern Tibet, at an altitude of about 4800 meters. It is one of the highest temples in Tibet and one of the oldest and most important temples of the Yongzhong Bon religion. Zizhu Temple was built three thousand years ago, advocated by the second generation of Tibetan King Muchi Zanpu, created and inherited by the first master of the great achiever Mubang Sadong, and is now the forty-third generation. The abbot Lama is honored as "Zizhu Living Buddha", and the current abbot is Dingzhen Ancestor Pu Ese Living Buddha. It is only more than 40 kilometers from Dingqing County to Zizhu Temple. The last section of the road to Zizhu Temple is a winding stone road of more than 10 kilometers. Although the road conditions are not good, many low-chassis cars are seen going up, and experienced drivers must go. The whole way is a cliff section, and the scenery is very magnificent. Walking down the mountain road, there is a road leading to the archway. (Not going up from the blue ladder, the blue ladder can't go there), go up the small road under the blue ladder, turn around and you can see the archway. You can take pictures from inside the door. Going up, the ladder is very inclined, and the bottom is a cliff. People who are afraid of heights should be careful. Keep going up, you can see the highest toilet. About sky burial: Zizhu Temple basically holds the "sky burial" ceremony for the deceased every day. (The sky burial platform is under the mountain, there are several large stones on it, there is a red house on it, close to the uphill road.) Generally, there are around 10 am to 1 pm, depending on the number of sky burials that day. Address: Zizhu Mountain, Shagong Township, Dingqing County, Changdu City, Tibet
