The most beautiful scenery is always on the road

Mati Temple｜Sanskrit sound of ancient temple on the cliff outside the thirty-three heavens In terms of Buddhist statues and murals, it cannot catch up with other famous caves, but you can climb the ancient paths left over from the cave-drilling period. Feel the remaining walls up close and marvel at the courage and wisdom of our predecessors. At first I was confused as to why people carved the caves in such a dangerous place. After reading the explanation, I realized that it was the place closest to the sky. After more than 1,600 years of sedimentation, this grotto, which was excavated by Guo Yu, a famous scholar of the Former Liang Dynasty, to lead his disciples to practice in seclusion and concentrate on learning in order to avoid the chaos of the world, still stands quietly. Together with the snow on the Qilian Mountains next to it that never melts all year round, it tells people the piety of the ancients who tried to stay close to their faith after the change of dynasties. The world is vast, and people are so insignificant.
