It shocked the world the skeleton wall, a solemn Tianzang Tai, the flight circled Yingjiu, unparalleled anywhere in the world face Tianzang Chang, a mysterious world, attracting numerous or coming out onto the Tibetan plateau.
However, in Tibet there are no skeletons in the end walls, and even many of the old Tibet, has only been heard and, There are several coming closer. Well-known Tibetan writer Ma Lihua in the "northern Tibet travel," a book of Tibet say with certainty that there is wall skeleton, in the northern Tibet, "many cards will become the sole preserve Tibet Tian Zangtai of the skull."
Search for burial and Tian Zangtai
A deep knowledge of Tibetan Studies Said to me: go and see the skeleton wall, which was supposed to end human. For example, to see if later in the county worked to shoot Mr. Cao Changjin a group of photos, I will never find the courage wall skeleton of northern Tibet.
From the seat of the Nagqu prefecture north of the city to the southeast of the town about 300 km away, that is, for example, county For example, the "mother of yak angle", was a legend here, "the mother yak tribal" settlers. Bodhidharma many card Tianzang Tai Temple is located on the western suburbs such as the county seat, the skeleton is also the location of the wall.
Burial is the most acceptable to the Tibetan people, Tibetan is the most common kind of Zangsu. Based on the ancient Tibetan Inferred sites, burial may have originated in the 7th century AD, some scholars believe that this form of burial by Kunga been cited by the creation. Straight Year in 1179 Goumba Ren Qinbei in Maizhokunggar County Zhi Gong place for the construction of the Zhi Gong Temple, and then to implement and improve the system of burial.
On the burial, that of Tibetan Buddhism, lit mulberry smoke is covered with colorful road and air are kindly invited to visit the mother Tianzang Tai, as the body offerings, presented the gods, pray for the dead to ransom during the lifetime of sins, the gods bring their soul To heaven. Tianzang Tai Sang smoke on the lead Yingjiu, in addition to eating the body, do not hurt any animals, Tibetan The "superbird scs." It is said that such a burial is to follow Buddha, "a tiger to die", Tibet is still so popular burial.
More card burial hospital in the middle, there is a size of about 4 square meters, paving stone from the body buried pool, a pool on the north side there are 60 cm high rectangular stones Is the burial of the body when parking. Burial in the hospital outside the South, erected around a 10-meter-high flagpole Jingfan, above a skull bone sculpture, hanging at the top of many faded Jingfan.
To send more cards to the dead Tianzang Tai, the body curled up, head to knee flexion, into a sitting position so that, with white Parcels were selected by the auspicious days back body will be sent to the body of Tian Zangtai, lit mulberry smoke caused Yingjiu, a further autopsy. Yingjiu because like meat, bones do not like to eat, the burial procedures on the use of flashback law, the first bone-feeding.
Skeleton of spirits intake wall
Tian Zangtai the whole house About more than 4000 square meters, about one four-week high walls, the wall in the West and repair the walls of a wooden stand, about four or five cells, each cell with all neatly arranged in a personal skull to form a long two-faced Skeleton wall, a skeleton skull of authority, people are sacred and deterrence sincerely amazing. It was then that I found out , The skeleton wall is a product of the burial.
In Tibet, all of the body after death Yingjiu Hey, do not stay, but the northern Tibet Dharma County, for example, a lot of cards Tianzang Tai Temple, to retain many of the deceased's skull, one of the world must move. Sub-text in his "World Tibet," wrote: up to the original wood (real One place. As Kim, the authors used different Chinese characters - Editor) Tianzang Tai is the skeleton walls on three sides, one high, as heavy rain later in a note the day, Cho-shui from rolling down a hill, down the wall of the Tian Zangtai. Now the two sides of the wall skeleton, with the rest of the skeleton in the last few decades slowly from Leiqi . Now the remaining two walls, only half of the original high.
Tian Zangtai yard of the west and south have a two door, Simon is out of the living, carrying the bodies of the south gate is the entrance to the north is a cottage, for chanting prayers for the deceased's Zhongseng use, also house a variety of worship Buddha And the scriptures. Go East and west sides of the plastic has a pagoda.
In many Tianzang Tai card with a secret garden - it is empty courtyard below, much like winter in northern China's food storage pits. Here all four sides and bottom of the base is built with stones from inside a plastic Buddha, a book store, religious and supplies offerings. The interest here is extremely low winter temperatures sometimes reached minus 37 degrees below. However, regardless of ice elsewhere in the body is much more solid, more in the cards as long as the pond's burial place overnight, the second day of Fed fully thawed, and to engage in normal burial, in which no one can say the reason is not clear. The mystery due to the existence of Make more far-card Tian Zangtai reputation. Many died in the vicinity of the county, have carried the dead to the burial here.
Jiang's one of the three separate human skull base of the wall Tian Zangtai
Tian Zangshi cards from many of the population that the whole of Tibet in the past had reservations about the skull of the deceased were three temples In addition to a lot of Dharma card Tianzang Tai Temple, there are on the opposite Dan Tianzang Tai Temple and the lack of near-generation Tianzang Tai Temple. As the three are Tianzang Tai County, for example, but also the reputation such as earthquake. Unfortunately, natural disasters or accidents, so that within three Tianzang Tai destroyed most of the skull. Until the early 80's, even if the government drop The religious policy, but on behalf of the lack of Tianzang Tai Temple is no longer continue to retain the skull of the deceased. Dan Temple of the original reservation on the part of the skull of the deceased, the "Cultural Revolution" during part of the local people who have been secretly buried underground, so far there is still a part of the skeleton preserved wall, but the size of the card more than Tianzang Tai skeleton of the great wall As a result of Dan Temple on Temple Dharma and only a Nujiang River is separated, on the north shore of Dan-Temple, the Temple on the south bank of Dharma, plus two Tianzang Tai Temple by management Tianzang Shi, a respected, usually by boat can hide from The two sides.
Well, here's why Tianzang Tai skull of the deceased to retain it? At present, many say But there are two types of the view that, as early as 80 years ago in a village in Qinghai have a little boy, he was 8 years old that year witnessed the killing 3 people, scared that he went to go such as County V Dabney Living Buddha in front. Dabney Living Buddha Dharma Temple office for his burial Tianzang Shi homes. As a result, he has all the dead Remove the corpses lost in the southeast corner of the burial house, until the skeleton has become, and then they picked up a code of good. His burial from the northeast corner of the house began to place the order, his 50-year-old Death, basically to place on the southwest corner. He was said to do so, because they are afraid that the killer into the death of burial Chinese Wu. Another, to retain the death of the Dalai Lama XIII, for example, by the County Rural lack Shannon song playing on behalf of the Temple Living & P Danba Wu Chu (also known as Ma-white white bar) set by the regulation temple the specific motive is not clear so far . Sub-text in the book: "Tian Zangshi Ngawang Tenzin, said: 'skull to stay, piled wall, is that the Commandment alive, more good deeds, Sunian rare, no matter who died Buguoruci. ' "
All will carry on, now more cards Tianzang Tai Temple Dharma artists have been named as the "skeleton of the pyramid," archaeologist aware of this anthropological research will be of great significance; is a writer It inscrutable philosophy and the legendary shock and infection. I just looked into a lot of cards, Tibetan Buddhism's profound philosophy did not dare to make improper comment, but one thing is very inspiring to me: Although today's burial in the eyes of the world is a strange Zangsu, but Tibetans through Burial will be the relationship between man and nature-up , As the local people's way of life unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the unique natural environment to adapt, burial is also a natural in Tibetans and coordinated development of a unique way to survive.
