Ali's Great North Line is a must-visit in this life (1)

Shigatse has an unparalleled status in the back of Tibet, and Tashilhunpo Monastery is undoubtedly the heart of the back of Tibet. The Qiangba Buddha Hall has the world's largest gilded Buddha statue. His nostrils can accommodate a seven or eight-year-old child to pass freely. The whole body uses more than 6,700 taels of gold, and the white hair between the eyebrows uses more than 30 large diamonds; The cost of the Lingta of the Panchen Lama in the past dynasties is more than 60 million yuan, the bottom layer is filled with barley and tea, the second layer is the items used by the tenth Panchen Lama, and the third layer is the true body of the Panchen Lama. The guide of Tashilhunpo Monastery is very familiar with the monks in each hall. She said that she didn't study well when she was a child and didn't pass the exam, so she was in the temple when she was a teenager, from helping to learning to now working here, while chatting about these, she naturally picked up the garbage on the ground, holding it in her hand until she threw it into the trash can. The architectural style of the Sakya Sect is significantly different from that of the Gelug Sect. When the car enters Sakya Village, the buildings along the way change from the red and white tone of the Gelug Sect to the red and black tone. I used to think that Basiba was the founder of the Sakya Sect. Today I learned that he was the fifth leader of the Sakya Sect and he established the Sakya regime. There are countless treasures in the South Temple. The distant white conch is said to have been used by Sakyamuni and was later given to Basiba by Kublai Khan. The scriptures of the Huihai Jing Mountain Hall are shocking, and there is also a 2-meter-long, 1-meter-wide, and 70-jin iron ring scripture. Many places in Sakya Monastery have no Chinese characters, no explanation, and are mysterious. At an altitude of 4300 meters, I climbed up the ladder of liberation with a cowhide rope, and the Buddha Hall above was mysterious and there was no explanation, no Chinese characters. I found along the way that the 5000km monument of 318 is not at the actual measurement point.
