Tianjun Shijing Temple

Although Shijing Temple is not long in history, its incense is strong!

Come and visit the exquisite Buddhist sculptures.

A tall Kalachakra stupa is built with stone scriptures in the center of the Shijingyuan. This stupa has a peculiar appearance and a quaint style.

In summer, it's time to go to the Northwest to escape the heat. Qinghai is vast and sparsely populated. In addition to the well-known Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake, there is a wider world waiting to be discovered. Twenty kilometers away from Tianjun County, on the north side of Xia Ha River, there is a very famous local Shi Jing Yuan called Xia Ha Shi Jing Yuan. A stone-walled courtyard suddenly appeared on the vast grassland, which has a lofty status in the hearts of the locals. The courtyard is square in shape, with a wall of 2 meters high, 1 meter wide, and a circumference of 320 meters. The number of stone slabs used exceeds one hundred thousand. I walked in and took a closer look. Every stone on the wall is engraved with Tibetan scriptures. There are 108 Tibetan "Guanjiaoer" (Ganzhuer) and 200 "Tamuduo" (Liberation Sutra). It can be said to be the stone carving library on the plateau. Usually almost no one comes here, it looks a little desolate. Every year in the fourth month of the lunar calendar, there is a chanting ceremony held here. 50 monks chant the scriptures and the masses turn to "Gorah". The scene is very spectacular. The stone scripture courtyard faces south, and each stone scripture wall has a Buddhist altar on the outside and inside. There are a total of 243 niches on the outside and 217 holes on the inside. Rotating around the stone wall is like reciting a scripture once. This is the most important religious place for local people. The Tripitaka is a collection of Tibetan Buddhist scriptures and theories, composed of two parts: Ganjur and Danjur.
