A Journey Through Time: Exploring the Rebuilt Milariba Monastery

Today, I’m bringing you along to a place that was truly unforgettable: the Milariba Buddha Pavilion in Hezuo, Gansu Province. This wasn't just any monastery; it was a towering, nine-story masterpiece, dedicated to the legendary yogi Milarepa. The history of the place was fascinating. The original monastery was built in 1777, but sadly, it was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. What we saw today was a magnificent reconstruction that was completed in 1992. As I walked through the vibrant, colorful floors, I learned about Milarepa himself, a figure known for his incredible journey from a sorcerer seeking revenge to a revered Buddhist master. Each floor was a different world, representing a different era or school of Tibetan Buddhism. The incredible murals told stories of ancient deities, wise masters, and Milarepa's own life. It was so much more than just a building; it was a living library of Tibetan Buddhist history and art. The peaceful atmosphere was truly moving, and it was a privilege to experience a place with such a powerful story. #เบิร์ดทั่วไทยไปทั่วโลก #birdjourneyjourneys #travel #tibetanmonasteries
