Lugu Lake Caohai Lama Temple

introduce

Located beside the Caohai Lake, the Lama Temple is a very ancient "Benbo sect" (black religion) religious site of Tibetan Buddhism. The Mosuo people in Lugu Lake believe in their own primitive religion, Dabaism, and they also believe in Lamaism. Since the introduction of Lamaism to the Lugu Lake area, temples of the black and yellow sects have been successively built there. The religious activities held by the temple according to the law have become a grand festival for the Mosuo people.

Every year, a grand lama conference is held in the temple, and the lamas of the temple perform ceremonies and performances according to tradition. Every year on the 15th day of the winter month, the activities of exposing Buddha and offering sacrifices to the sun god are relatively grand festivals for the Mosuo people. The believers kowtowed and worshiped the rising sun in the east and the cloth portrait of the sun god. The whole ceremony was very solemn and solemn, enough to show their piety and strong desire to pray, which is amazing.
