ta’er monastery, built as a tribute to tsongkhapa, is located on lotus hill 25 km southwest of xining. it is said that when tsongkhapa was born, the blood from his umbilical cord dropped on the ground and it was on this exact spot where a bodhi tree later grew. the tree is said to be still alive today and people with high moral and religious integrity are able to see images of buddha in the leaves of the tree.
every
day many pious buddhist pilgrims can be seen in ta’er monastery. they kneel
down, bow and then prostrate themselves towards the enshrined statues of
buddha and bodhisattvas. they get up and repeat the same act again and again
as they make their way forward. it is believed that a pilgrim has to repeat
this act of veneration 100,000 times before he or she can be deemed to have
satisfactorily completed the necessary charitable and pious deeds expected
of them. for a young adult pilgrim it would take about three months to
achieve this and probably half a year or more for an elderly person.
