Ethnic festivals custom: Obo?

There is a custom of worshipping mountain gods among Han people in our country, but in the holiday customs of some ethnic minorities in our country, similar activities are called "worshipping Russian Bo". The origin of this custom is related to the story of Tibetan Songzan Gambu marrying Princess Wencheng in history. So let's learn about this time-honored custom today.

The so-called "Aobao", called "Laze" in Tibetan, is a symbol of local mountain gods. Generally, it is a cubic wooden frame about one meter nailed with wooden strips, which is fixed on the top of the mountain by squeezing stones with a wooden pole in the middle. When religious believers worship, stones are placed one after another, and some stones are engraved with "six-character mantra". Some people hang red cloth and warp cloth for Obo.

"Sacrificing Russia" originated from the custom of worshipping nature in primitive religions in Tibetan and other areas, and was later absorbed by Tibetan Buddhism. Generally, every place has its own Obo. People go to worship at a specific time (different places and different times, mostly in spring and autumn). Tribal people carry tents and food, and the whole family helps to set up tents at the foot of the mountain, then turn around the mountain and chant Buddhist scriptures to worship Aobao.

In addition, every year in mid-July, Mongolians hold the annual Russia-Russia Expo, which is similar in scale to the Nadam Conference. First of all, the sacrificial man held a birch pole tied with wool and put it in the Aobao, offering Hada and cloth. Monks chant scriptures and offer sacrifices to Russian people to stew mulberry. The raw materials of mulberry are cypress leaves, fried noodles, highland barley and ghee. Put them together and put them on the fire. The smell of cypress trees pervades the Russian waves, giving people a solemn feeling.

At this time, people who sacrifice to Russia will take off their hats, chant Buddhist scriptures and walk around Russia three times to pray for the safety of people and animals. After the sacrifice, they will also engage in horse racing, wrestling, archery, traditional singing and dancing and other recreational activities. In the past, when offering sacrifices to Russia, people also wrote eulogies and prayers.
