Introduction to Zharu Temple: The tallest building in Zharu Temple is the main hall, which is divided into three floors. The first floor is where public religious activities are held, lamas chant sutras, and believers worship Buddha; the second floor is where Tantra is practiced; and the third floor is where the Tibetan Buddhism is practiced. There are a large number of Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and thangkas. There is a corridor outside the main hall, with many prayer wheels placed on the corridor. Believers from all over the world will turn the prayer tubes in a circle counterclockwise along the corridor outside the main hall and recite the eight-character mantra in their mouths. Directly above the throne of the Dharma, facing the inner door of the main hall, hangs a giant decal Thangka painting with round and smooth lines, bright colors, and vivid and elegant shapes, which shows the mutual integration of Bonbo religion and Tibetan Buddhism in their coexistence and development.
