Manbalaseng Temple

满巴拉僧庙位于乌海市海南区拉僧庙镇所在地。 座落在乌海市海南区拉僧庙镇图海山上的满巴拉僧庙是由第一世夏仲活佛贡其格阿日布斋于乾隆43年(公元1778年)主持兴建，至今已有234年的历史。以 办“曼巴拉伦”(培养蒙医场所)为主，造型雷同于西藏的一些寺庙。喇嘛要诵的经分为四个部分：沙德尔经(病理学)、码德珠玛经(药理学)、西码珠德经(诊 断医疗方法)和医点要领(基础理论)，合称为《四部集》。

拉僧庙（满巴拉僧庙）位于今乌海市海南区，国家级AAA级景区省文物，毗邻图海山旅游区，满巴拉僧庙系藏语，意为“医方明经院”，是一个专门研究藏蒙医学宗教的殿堂。盛时庙中住有僧人喇嘛达600多人，是当时内蒙古西部最早的宗教医学圣地。始建于清代康熙二十一年（1682年）毁于文革，现为2007年重建。相传，康熙皇帝西出私访时，曾在拉僧庙静居数日。拉僧庙在建筑风格上不仅融合了藏、蒙、汉民族艺术风格，而且也体现出当地文化艺术的品位，使参拜者身临其境，如进天堂。庙中大雄宝殿内有盘龙柱数根以支撑梁架，巨柱上彩绘龙腾驾雾。大殿正面有神像五尊，释迦牟尼正中端坐。神像前置入供桌、香炉，青烟缭绕，佛灯长明。大堂两壁，彩绘着许多佛教故事中的画面，绚丽缤纷、栩栩如生。尤其是释迦牟尼对弟子讲法、四周诸神静听的彩绘、壁画，形象逼真、令人赞叹不已。攻略：季节费用：6—10月初。免费。交通住宿：离乌海市中心30多公里，道路优良。景点周围荒凉基本都是自驾过去。景色：游览全程约40分钟，寺庙位于图海山半山腰，停车场紧邻景区大门，步行进入即可。北方的山比较雄壮沧桑，无草木、无水、风很大，可带些厚衣服。建筑物很多也基本体现原来风貌，但即使国庆过去殿堂也是基本不开门的，也许是因为疫情缘故吧。只有大殿侧门有开，和中原及南方寺庙不同，五六层高的佛像在大殿内基本与建筑同高，却没有前厅，只能在脚下仰视，周围有楼梯但禁止通行。装备：旅游鞋、外套。

我生于长于拉僧庙，1996年至2019年我家还没拆迁就一直在这里居住。对于这座山的一切我都熟记于心，从小就爬山，我家后面是铁道，再后面是沙滩，小时候经常去玩沙子，尤其是天热的时候几个小伙伴拿着铲子去挖坑，山上放炮，小时候不懂事砸过山洞里面的像，还偷吃过放在“白塔”上的水果，拿过香火钱买雪糕。。。这些事情我一直忘不了，后来父亲说母亲生我时留下的胎盘埋在了大姑家门口（也在拉僧庙二四队），可以说有一种根被埋在了这里的感觉。我会一直伴随它的发展。从小见证了这座寺庙的一步步修缮，规模一点点加大。但是山下的拉僧庙镇早已物是人非，我的记忆我的依靠也随着这十几年的拆迁工作而一点点被剥离，昔日的小学，五完小（海化小学）和二完小，昔日的中学--海化中学，海化幼儿园，电话亭，时空网吧，新视听网吧，二四队，918，粮站，沙枣林，泵房，军霞批发部，爱心白雪公主玩具店，小龙人文具店。等等这一切。都消失在了这短短的十来年。曾几何时，拉僧庙接待了第一批来乌海地区的垦荒者。而后拉僧庙被破坏，其建材被拿去盖平房。如今平房拆了，而寺庙越发壮大。这样的此消彼长也许是天命吧。拉僧庙的人和物都渐渐消失在了时间里，以前认识的人为发展都天各一方，我是一个怀旧的人，也许我也会远离，但是我会铭记。祝福拉僧庙！航拍照片拍于2021年8月3日

La Seng Temple (Manbala Temple) is located in Hainan District, Jinwuhai City, a national AAA-level scenic spot provincial cultural relics, adjacent to Tuhaishan tourist area, Manbala Temple is Tibetan, meaning "medical school Mingjing", is a special study of Tibetan and Mongolian medical religions. The temple was home to more than 600 monks and lamas, the earliest religious medical shrine in western Inner Mongolia at that time. It was built in the Qing Dynasty in Kangxi in 21 years (1682) and destroyed in the Cultural Revolution, and is now rebuilt in 2007. It is rumored that Emperor Kangxi lived in Lashen Temple for several days when he went to the west for a private visit. The temple not only integrates Tibetan, Mongolian and Han national art styles in architectural style, but also reflects the taste of local culture and art, so that visitors are immersed in the world, such as entering paradise. There are several dragon pillars in the temple to support the beams, and the giant pillars are painted on the dragons. The front of the hall is a god five, Sakyamuni sitting in the middle. The god is placed in front of the table, incense stove, smoke, Buddha lamps are long. The two walls of the lobby are painted with pictures of many Buddhist stories, colorful and lifelike. Especially the paintings and murals of Sakyamuni to his disciples and the surrounding gods listening quietly, the image is realistic and amazing. Raiders: Seasonal cost: 6-early October. Free. Transportation accommodation: more than 30 kilometers away from the center of Wuhai, the road is excellent. The desolate surrounding the attractions are basically self-driving. 30 minutes drive from Wuhai Lake. Scenery: The whole tour is about 40 minutes. The temple is located halfway up the Tuhai Mountain. The parking lot is close to the gate of the scenic spot and you can walk in. The mountains in the north are more magnificent, with no vegetation, no water, and a lot of wind, but you can bring some thick clothes. Many buildings basically reflect the original style, but even if the hall was not open in the past on National Day, maybe it was because of the epidemic. Only the side door of the main hall is open, unlike the Central Plains and Southern Temples, the five or six-story Buddha statue is basically the same height as the building in the main hall, but there is no front hall, only look up at the foot, there are stairs around but no passage. Equipment: tourist shoes, coats.

It's really a super beautiful place. It has a Tibetan feel. The Potala Palace is a sense of sight. But I don't know why there are so few people! Actually don't need tickets! It’s a pity to hear from local residents that the monks here have almost all moved away. I hope the locals can protect this place and not let a beautiful attraction disappear. Please!
