藏東第一禪林強巴林寺舉行盛大的酥油花燈會

 新華社西藏昌都2月26日電(記者許萬虎 文濤)25日傍晚,當最後一抹餘暉躲進雲層,西藏強巴林寺的僧人將圍繞著巨型酥油花架的數百盞酥油燈依次點燃。霎時間,朵朵形態各異、色彩豔麗的酥油花塑靜靜地披上了溫暖吉祥的黃色光暈。     當日是藏曆正月十五,被譽為“藏東第一禪林”的強巴林寺迎來了一年一度的酥油花燈會。來自西藏昌都各地的信教群眾扶老攜幼、紛至遝來,他們手捧潔白的哈達,賞燈朝佛、祈福納祥。     記者在現場看到,寺廟空地處擺放的五個巨大的花架上裝有結實的木板,木板上用酥油、麵粉和各色藏式顏料彩塑成的護法神、珍禽異獸,以及許多宗教人物及故事,在酥油燈光的照耀下顯得栩栩如生、神奇幻美,令人目不暇接。     “這五個酥油花架有近十米高,花架上酥油彩塑的神佛造像和圖案有近一百斤重。這些花架是分別獻給佛祖釋迦牟尼、格魯派祖師宗喀巴,以及強巴林寺的帕巴拉活佛等的。”強巴林寺寺廟管理委員會工作人員四郎尼瑪說。     伴著閃爍的燈光,信教群眾圍繞著絢麗的酥油花架自覺排成隊列,依次向每個酥油花架敬獻哈達。只見他們雙手合十、虔誠膜拜,口中念誦經文的聲音不絕於耳。除了向酥油花架獻哈達,寺院的大小佛堂和佛塔前也隨處可見前來敬獻貢品的信教群眾。     次仁平措一家來自昌都地區察雅縣,為了觀賞酥油花燈,特地提前兩天從家裏出發趕到昌都縣城。他一面向佛像拋投哈達,一面告訴記者:“希望新年風調雨順、五穀豐登,同時祈求家裏的老人和孩子身體健康、平安吉祥。”     據四郎尼瑪介紹,強巴林寺的酥油花燈會將一直持續到26日清晨。燈會結束後,男女信眾還會來到寺廟,討要一些酥油彩塑的碎片。“得到碎片的人,都會很興奮,因為他們相信用這些‘寶貝’喂牲口,牲口便會膘肥體壯;將它敷在病人的身上,會減少傷痛。”他說。     強巴林寺位於昌都縣內馬拉山的四級臺地上,始建於1437年,是藏東地區最大的格魯派寺廟,因主供強巴佛而聞名。它是由宗喀巴的弟子喜繞桑布在藏東興建的第一座黃教大寺院。(完) Read more [...]
