    万象印象

    万象印象(2)

        老挝首都万象,位于中寮万象平原南端、湄公河左岸,隔河与泰国相望,始建于公元574年,是东南亚一个具有悠久历史的古城,同时也是佛教信徒的圣地。据不完全统计,老挝现有佛寺2000多座。寺庙不仅是举行佛教仪式的民众集结地,也是老挝文化与教育的中心。寺庙除举办佛事活动外,还开办学校,很多上不起普通学校的孩子,都到寺庙来学习,寺庙不仅为他们提供免费教育而且还为他们提供免费食宿。在寺庙里,一般僧人当老师,住持当校长。在老挝,上至贵族,下至平民,男人一生中必须出家剃度当一次和尚,出家时间一般数月,少则三五天,多则不限。还俗后被视为为人师表的智者,在社会上受到重视和尊重。在老挝, 68%以上的人信仰小乘佛教。 佛寺佛塔是最宏大最奢华的建筑物,这些都是用当地民众捐助的资金修建的,相比之下,其他建筑物和设施都显得十分逊色,根本无法与寺庙相比。人们把大量的财力和精力投入佛寺佛塔建设和维护,投入经济、教育发展与建设的力度就很弱。比如,万象的有些学校,现今依旧在法国统治时期修建的校舍里上课,基本设施破旧不堪,已多年没有维修。
