Baoen Temple in Pingwu, a large Tibetan prayer wheel is worth the ticket price

▶︎ Baoen Temple has several unique features. A complete Ming Dynasty architectural group, the 'Ming Dynasty murals' inside the Daxiong Hall, the 'Thousand-Hand Guanyin' carved from thousand-year-old Nanmu in the Da Bei Hall, and the treasure of the temple: the 'prayer wheel' in the Huayan Collection. ▶︎ The 'prayer wheel' contains the 'Tripitaka', which can be rotated to achieve the same merit as chanting sutras. ▶︎ The existing 'prayer wheels' are extremely rare, and less than a hundred kilometers downstream of the Fujiang River, there is also a Song Dynasty prayer wheel in the 'Yunyan Temple' on the Dou Tuan Mountain, the only Taoist prayer wheel in the world, which is rare. . 🎈P1-4: The Ming Dynasty 'prayer wheel' in the Huayan Collection. ▷ The 'prayer wheel' is actually a rotating tower for storing sutras, and rotating it can accumulate merit, so it is regarded as a super large prayer wheel. ▷ The 'Tripitaka' in it witnessed the history of Chinese block printing, and its craftsmanship matured in the Sichuan area during the Song Dynasty. . ✨P5: The 'Ming Dynasty murals' in the Daxiong Hall. The murals were painted in the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty (1446). . 🎊P6-8: Daxiong Hall and Nine Dragon Plaques. ▷ The Ming Dynasty Tusi Wang Xi built the Baoen Temple in the deep mountains, which was reported for its oversized scale and form. ▷ To avoid punishment, he erected the 'Long live the Emperor' Nine Dragon Plaque, and finally escaped. . 🍭P9: The 'Wooden Thousand-Hand Guanyin' in the Da Bei Hall. It is carved from a thousand-year-old Nanmu, gilded all over, wearing a crown, with a necklace hanging to the ground, standing barefoot on a lotus throne, nine meters high. . 🎄P10: Stele Pavilion. ▷ The two imperial edicts in the pavilion are the amusing pardons issued by the Ming Yingzong, and the edict for the stele is 'Since he is a local official, he is not an example, let him pass this time, respect this'. ▷ This plaque and stele are the golden pardons for Baoen Temple to survive to this day. . 🏕️P11: The Four Heavenly Kings and Arhat statues. The plaque of the Heavenly King Hall is unique, pulled up by two strong men, with a unique style. .
