But when I think it is the home temple of Qian, the king of South Vietnam, I should follow the motto of "Lai". After that, I found that if we started from Nangqian County, it would be enough to walk two points a day, but it would be better to start at eight in the morning, and then we went out. It is suggested to go to the distant Caijiu Temple first, and then come back to the nearby Gaer Temple. This arrangement will be better.
In the direction of Caijiu Temple, you will meet a beautiful stone forest. The road seems to be surrounded by stone forests, and the distant peaks are covered with thick clouds, giving people a sense of desolation close to night.
Caijiu Temple is the site of King Qian Nang and a place where politics and religion are integrated. It was once the ruling center of the twenty-five families of Nangqian. Search on the map for "Caijiao Temple" or "Nangqian Wang Zu Tomb", and I found all these.
As the home temple of the king of Nangqian, it seems to have been forgotten by history. I didn't even know that Qian Qian once had a king, and Qianhu House was under his control. Before I go to Lijiang, I can see the wooden palace on TV. Before I came to Bao Qian, I didn't know much if I didn't deliberately look for information.
When my friend introduced me to Cai Jiu Temple, he said that I could see it was a place for throwing money, which was also true. The huge Mani stone pile, the temple still under construction, the legendary palace ruins, and the little lamas walking on the road from time to time, Caijiu Temple is such a place.
While I was wandering in the temple, I happened to meet Lama Achai, so I asked if I could enter the Hall of the Great Hero, because the gate was closed at that time. I didn't expect him to lead me to the next door. From there, the monks inside were chanting. I just know that I bumped into their annual Dharma meeting, and they would recite the scriptures in Caijiu Temple for ten days in a row, "May all beings be bitter and happy".
A Cai told me that sitting in the middle is a living Buddha. He looks super young, but someone has to sit in that position and lead generations of monks to practice here. Cai also asked us if we wanted to stay in the temple for one night, but that day we decided to go back to Nangqian to stay, and we didn't bring our luggage before we realized that Caijiu Temple provided accommodation.
It turns out that this beautiful stupa is actually the tomb of Nangqian Wang Zu. After walking in Tibet for so many years, I thought I finally saw the word "tomb" again, but the display form was still a stupa.
Sunset, the most beautiful sunset on the plateau, I leisurely walked around the Manidui and stupa of the temple, and we didn't drive back to Nangqian County until it was dark.
