Lamaling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lamaling Monastery is a Buddhist monastery located in the village of Burqug, Tibet. (Buchu, Nyingtri County), about 26km (19 miles) southeast from Bayi Town[1]. Lamaling Monastery belongs to the Nyingmapa (Red) Sect. The architectural design of the monastery is ingenious, magnificent and solemn for its unique mould and exceptional style[2]. The chapel, in a square courtyard, lies in a green enclosure. The whole monastery looks like a Mandala. It is topped with a golden roof, a pagoda and its walls are painted with white, blue, red and green color belts.
There are two Buddhist Halls, three stories high in the monastery, where bronze and golden figures of Master Padmasambhava are displayed. The Nyingma Sect inherited a lot of the traditions of the native Bon religion that respects nature and thinks everything has a spirit. In addition, this sect involves phallic worship and offers sacrifice to genitalia.
Lamaling Monastery is located halfway up a mountain slope and in a dense sequestered forest beside a road in Mailing County.
