Auspicious Heavenly Mother's Immortal Body Phenomenon

A little-known small monastery on the banks of the Lhasa River, called Xiezhulin, is only a short distance from Gongga Airport. “Xiezhulin” is a transliteration of Tibetan, meaning “talking about Xiuzhou,” which belongs to the Gelug tradition. It is unknown when it was first built, but it developed to the largest scale in the era of the fifth Avalokitesvara. At that time, there were two schools of Xian and Mi in the temple, and there were as many as 500 monks.

But many people don't know that there is a miraculous statue of female flesh in this small temple, about one cubit high, wearing a silver crown, wearing colorful clothes. The skin on the face is slightly dark but still plump, with half-closed eyes. It is said that she is the real incarnation of the Auspicious Heavenly Mother. She passed away at the age of twelve. After her death, her body shrank naturally, and she was in the sitting position of Tara. She has never undergone any antiseptic treatment. Now her hair is still growing, and her skin is still elastic. Although a long time has passed, she still sits quietly on the top of the mountain of Xiezhulin Temple, silently guarding this holy land.

Regarding the origin of this thousand-year-old body, there is a legend that is related to Venerable Atisha, the ancestor of the Kadam teaching: In 1042, Venerable Atisha was invited from India to Tibet to teach the Dharma. Three years later, Venerable Atisha went to the U-Tsang area. When Venerable Atisha came to a river near Lhasa, a young girl met Venerable Atisha. , So he took off all the gold and silver decorations on his body and presented them as offerings to Venerable Atisha.

But when the devout girl returned home, her parents were very angry when they learned that their daughter's precious ornaments had been donated to a monk they had never met and beat her severely. At that time, Bon religion was still very popular, but at that time, this young girl was determined to promote Buddhism and wanted to support monks.
