安西发现密教坛场遗址

The Tantric Buddhism Ritual Site Found in Anxi County

安西县城北疏勒河北岸戈壁滩上新近发现了密教坛场遗址。一般情况下,密教仪式坛场在作完佛事后并不有意保存,因此该遗址便成了极为罕见的保存至今的坛场遗址。

A newly discovered tantric Buddhism ritual site which was remained untouched near the Gobi Desert at the north bank of Shule River is not far north from the Anxi county. Generally speaking, the tantric ritual site did not have the custom to keep the site carefully when the ritual ceremonies were celebrated and had ceased to use any more. Therefore the ceremony site of tantric is the first ever discovered and rare one so far.
