Scenic spot introduction:
Zhaji Temple is located on Zhaji Road in the northern suburbs of Lhasa. It is the only temple of the God of Wealth in Tibet. Although the temple is small, it is very popular. But in fact, this temple was not originally popular for the purpose of seeking wealth. It is said that this temple was originally set up for outsiders to pray for peace, but most of the outsiders are businessmen, and they are particularly spiritual after worshipping the gods in Zhaji Temple. As a result, this place gradually became what everyone calls the Temple of the God of Wealth.Attractions distribution:
Liquor, mulberry branches and Hada are must-haves when visiting Zhaji Temple. The Buddhist niche at the door can be used to simmer mulberry. Every Wednesday, there are crowds of people. The main hall is dedicated to Zakiram, which is said to belong to the worldly protector and is very efficacious. There is a divination place on the second floor of the temple. Climb to the top of Zhaji Temple and enjoy the warm sunshine and the aroma of wine filling the temple. Just make a wish. No matter whether it will come true or not, your heart will be warm.Scenic spot features:
Seeking wealth, fortune-telling, worshipping Buddha, templestravelling guideline:
1. According to Tibetan compatriots, we worship the God of Wealth on Mondays, pray for safety on Wednesdays, and pray for health on Fridays. The God of Wealth in Zhaji Temple is particularly fond of alcohol. When worshiping, you can buy a bottle of white wine and a few bundles of wormwood and pine needles in the small shop at the entrance of the temple. If it is convenient, bring your own Hada and butter (bring a small spoon), and change the change to enter the worship.
2. In a small Buddhist hall on the second floor of Zhaji Temple, there is a fortune-telling tube placed all year round. Some Tibetans will shake the fortune-telling tube to predict good or bad luck, and the lama sitting next to them will help them find a solution based on the scriptures. This way of fortune-telling is rare in the entire Tibetan area.
