The eight major thangkas are also called the eight major god cards, and they are listed in no particular order. The first is the thangka of Lord Kanoyan, the second is the thangka of the founder of the Sakya sect, the third is the thangka of Beji Dorje’s trumpet cave practice, and the fourth is the seed embroidery
Rock Manna Xuanming King thangka, five, twin conjoined Vajrasattva thangka, six, Yamantaka black card, seven, five-color jeweled Buddha brocade thangka, eight, Chengde Xumifu Temple Imperial Sakyamuni
Niyi Thangka.
Apart from these, if you want to be on par with Ashoka Pagoda, you may have to stay behind.
What is hidden in this tower we dug in Harahot?
Judging from the size of those things, the gold bottle will definitely not fit in, the nine-eyed dzi bead is possible, and the thangka must be very small in size, and it must be rolled up. Of course, there is also a kind of living thing among living things.
The things are qualified to be sealed in Ashoka Pagoda.
That is.
Relics.
And it has to be the relic of a great monk.
This tower was built during the Xixia period, and must have been excluded from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.
It’s hard to say whether it’s a fake relic of Sakyamuni’s true body. What I’m talking about is the real relic of Tathagata Buddha himself.
Don’t think of it as a myth, Gautama Buddha was a real person who existed two thousand years ago.
The earliest prototype of the Ashoka Pagoda appeared in the Mauryan Dynasty of the Asan Kingdom. Ashoka was the third generation king of the Mauryan Dynasty. In his later years, he respected and believed in Buddhism.
According to legend, hundreds of years after Sakyamuni passed away, King Asoka of the Maurya Dynasty collected 14,000 relics of Sakyamuni's true body, which included a skull, four teeth, and a middle finger bone. He
A total of 14,000 iron towers (some say 84,000) were built to worship these relics.
Therefore, what is recorded in our history books are the Buddha's crown bone relics, the Buddha's hair relics, the Buddha's finger bone relics, the Buddha's tooth relics, and the last kind of Buddha's shadow bone relics.
We didn’t know at the time that the parietal bone relics of the Buddha were unearthed many years later in 2010. The unearthed place was at the Great Baoen Temple. There are documentaries you can watch. If you want to know what the Asoka Pagoda looks like, you can also watch it because at that time the Buddha
The parietal bone is enshrined in the Asoka Pagoda.
However, the Ashoka Pagoda is very big, more than one meter high, and the one for me and Baotou is very small, only about 30 centimeters, so it can be considered a reduced version.
The boss and I discussed it all night and speculated on all the results we could think of. Finally, we roughly guessed that our pagoda may contain nine-eyed dzi beads, Buddha relics, and one of the small thangkas.
.
If it were to be sold, there wouldn't be so many things to do, but it happened to be that I just found out about it at this time.
To sell or not to sell became the current dilemma for me and Baotou.
Some friends may say, "Are you stupid? You don't know how to take out the things and sell the tower. Sell it for double money, you idiot. Even if you are robbing a tomb, I am smarter than you."
Someone will definitely say this, and it is correct, but we couldn't do it at first. The Ashoka Pagoda in the Great Baoen Temple was unearthed only a few years later. How laborious it is to open the tower completely? Go and see for yourself.
At that time, there were so many big guys from the Military Industrial Research Institute, and they spent more than three months researching the drawings before finally opening them intact.
Although our little one is not that complicated, it is still difficult.
To sell is not to sell first.
However, in order to open this thing and see what's inside, we have to use our old noses.
It is foreseeable how we can fully open the Ashoka Tower without affecting sales.
