Out of the airport, to catch one to the mountain Minamisawa when the town of military vehicles, in the Brahmaputra and get off at a crossing. Met two people from Gansu has been a three-month trek Tibet pilgrimage Acre. One point to understand Chinese, some commonly used words to him Qiujiao Tibetan pronunciation, Hello and Tibet were written recorded on paper, others have been forgotten. He outlined a Tibetan Monastery Tibetan various manuals show to me to see, according to him, the highest position in Tibetan Temple, pronunciation called ga1deng1, finally, I also could not find out what in the end means the temple. Whenever he was unable to express the meaning in Chinese or the Han Dynasty I said if he did not understand when the index finger pointing to the two ears, exposing apologize and I generally simple and honest smile.
Faster for two hours, and vessel still refused to open. Suddenly a silk-like rain drifting away, two brilliant rainbow suddenly appeared, from the Yajiang the first bend of the hill near the river on the other side in the water. Which one is quite clear, it is a place of convergence with the river clearly seen. This wonderful 2 acre, all made to stand up from the ground, takes out his camera They asked me to shoot, and photo.
18:30, urged several times, ran it the old chap who finally will be down from the mah-jongg table to jump. Here come the sun good night, the water is still Jinbo brilliant, scorching eyes.
Acre dinner-time and two to sit at one table, next-bench is a four-hole in the pilgrimage, starting from his home in Qinghai had been transferred to Temple Hill turn for three months. Quote a few words just heard Dongdong Acre, after when the brother who thought I was very interested in them will be endless. His mother's eyes had been drifting away from the window, one has been done Ani (nun) and sister, shaking his left hand turn a small prayer wheel, right hand toggle counting beads, as well as a sister do not speak, only at me giggle.
Samye hotels, and one Japanese, two Australians live in one. That the Japanese heard of a type I had to Tibet have been wandering for three months, beer and instant noodles to accompany him, and also sprayed a house in the thick perfume. When I was in Australia for two small group that u straight to the most beautiful place in China, they are dancing in joy, cute.
6:00 Banxing, two Australian guy had disappeared. To the hospital in the Kap Shui Mun, Seiki Under the moonlight, toggle the Kap Shui device exceptionally loud metallic sound, a room where every household to have people to come out, I do not know the time is almost up, or being awakened by the sound. Worse, the water did not sink them. So the room holding torches to look at this device, return to the courtyard have already been absorbed by the water is washing.
Hello in Tibetan mistake of saying he would avoid a ticket into the Samye Monastery. The earliest Tibetan Buddhist hit several times now Xian Buchu ancient flavor, familiar with the Mainland for the electric lights here, one can also see that this way of supporting the Buddha even modern science and technology in the traditional practices of the typical application bar. The first time I heard The name of Padmasambhava, the Tantric master who created Samye Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism is also the oldest of the four were the founder of Nyingma sect. Legend he will be a number of sacred objects and classic secretly hidden in the Tibetan areas throughout, leading to later generations will emerge from time to time dig a mysterious Tibetan division, announced that excavated some good Dongdong, this dig has a surviving Tibetan movement.
Out of the village to the distant rustle of the mountain (do not know how to more accurately called this hill) walk. Along a snow melt stream into reverse and began there glauca tree (it is yellow dazzling Ye was a good farmer wood material) in the side, and soon completely in semi-desertification meadow on the ground only of a fern of the. To find a narrow section of stream Office, marching pebble across the past. They climbed over large sand dunes, a large flock of sheep exposed, colorful, and approached to see, some of the sarcoma grow back, some Soke of color, I do not know whether it is caused by inbreeding, a shepherd is not, not the of people's consultation. Go rustle foot of the mountains, a frightened hare fled to a hilltop within ten seconds, so I have also excluded on the. Koh the back to hang on until the mountain top, it could also see the Brahmaputra, where the village of Samye Monastery, Temple and Yajiang between the shape of a strange black woo woo mountain (like Green Park cultivation land), streams, meadows, and their mutual position formed by the geographical situation, and my heart burst of laughter (facial have mood to laugh). I can assert that Padmasambhava then certainly rustle in the string on top of a hill overlooking the Guo feng shui has drawn up to construct a temple location.
Back to the room, the Japanese are also gone. He rolled on the table of the diary, written in English, and seem to have great experience of Tibetan Buddhism, culture, buddha what frequent. A foreign person to understand some Chinese, although spent three months on the really comprehend do so. But I also able to argue, in the face of the human variety of the spiritual world, I have always only a superficial slow spectators.
Zetang to find someone in the town of a dozen to Lhasa. Igawa who has the same car, at work in Tibet for four years, strongly recommended Nyingchi region, where there are virgin forest. 20:30 arrived in Lhasa, a message board can not find the next day playing Namco chartered only strips. It seems not easy for everyone to trips, chartered trips play was very tight, and I just want to go to Nam Co, a legendary beauty of the place was a mess.
Next day, the bus station, catch the 11:30 bus to the town when the male. Is also found that sitting next to Shanghai, said Zhe Liang actually 10:30 on the open, and he did not complain about a little down at work in Tibet for two years, to this kind of thing has been numb. 哈哈.
12:00 start, 15:30 arrived Dangxiong. A very small town and asked a few restaurant owners, today the town is not the same situation with my people. So would like to take the junction of Nam Co, a leading vehicle, it is already late, only to come back, and not seen the past. Helpless, beaten, and 260 yuan, including the highway tolls waived the 45, say that I went to repair Toyota vehicles.
Nam Co lake net blue, high-altitude clouds clear reflection of the water, the nyainqentanglha difficult to judge distance snow-capped mountains. Wu Shan Tin Ying, was crystal clear one, palpitating heart up, but my body is still labor-saving way to the lake to the Duo. The event of an advertising agency professional photographers, immediately pouring cold water over more than 10 days ago they break a line Kawakita Ding life Bon (Tibetan religion to another) is still a restricted military zones where, where the scenery can give here, par. Unbelievable.
In the Nam Co, the distance illusions. A Chengdu told me that they had tried to sail it does not seem to drive too far at the snow line, but in fact very far.
According to Tibetan legend, the Nam Co lake inhabited by a goddess, her husband is nyainqentanglha Yamagami. According to legend, when the eighth century, Padmasambhava Nyainqentanglha on the snowy mountain god and a battle of wits, he resorted to King refers to those firms, however Padmasambhava Shouzhi of a stick, then fled into the mountains to escape palace. Padmasambhava rushed out in order to read the whole force so that the rapid melting of ice and snow Nyainqentanglha Mountains. Mountain Spirit to see all their old home to be copied out, but to declare a Buddhist, a Buddhist protective deities. Now the lake, pestered Hada's standing with Mani Dui sporadically, it is the Tibetans used to Child-giving goddess. More, the Han Chinese imitation stone pine feces of a tilting of the vertical shaft.
Evening, the four Shanghai white-collar workers rub the meals. After lunch, we would like to walk in the starlight, but some people say they are not to accompany a headache. Holding a torch to various accommodation arrests, captured a Tibetan guide, to accompany me stroll around in a circle. He said the snow-capped mountains in front of the depths of this piece of Nyainqentanglha there are four secret law were the most emphasis on the Kagyupa practitioner who is not afraid of loneliness, hard self-cultivation. I still do not come back quickly, to find someone, find a Zhuhai MM down to the lake to spend the night in tents, accordingly with her peers. Cutting can not find the tent to go walking expedition, and there is also a large living it. So send her recording and suddenly it began to snow and remember predecessors exhortations, and in Tibet must not cold, a little panic, scamper back to house.
The wind pushed the snow from time to time wrapped wooden doors, next door to the administrator would have fallen asleep and can not help me leave the door locked from the outside. Had to go out looking and found a gas tank, Eurya had entered the room, blocking the door. Daze in the middle of the night felt groan, cough, on this physical, it seems this life is no hope to climb Snowy Mountains or go to Ali, a place like no man's land for a walk.
The next day, like early ride back to Lhasa. Lack of sleep, head Sheng Teng, but also of wearing a thin summer trousers, while the car had to hurry to find refuge in the estate in discuss Tibetan MM need to be hot Chahe. The case and out, they do not mind a bit. 12:00 finally a team of Guangxi, I left with a holy lake, giving the driver 100. A subsequent restoration of the spirit, rather regret it, should take the blue sky, holy lakes, snow-capped mountains to the Tibetan carrying a large jug shoot ZHANG Zhao MM, and that will be very very beautiful. After the monk in the future which was Cijing photo, please scan a copy to me, thank you. When his back to the holy lake, accommodation in one of the most Tibetans lived right MM, Meiqingmuxiu, only the color black than I am.
Back to Lhasa, Nyingchi to go, but the only one to go there the next day chartered the full. Helpless, only Zaiqu bus station. National Day on the first day, traffic surge, conductor of the action even more slight. Row of the moment team discovered that apart from me, I jump the queue are in a constant state. Vision is sometimes himself silly, and went directly to designate the exit of the bus and soon cars to go on the town of CMB Nyingchi 81.
In addition to two car-chuan and I, I are Tibetans. Noon, after a Mira Yamaguchi, landscape suddenly changes and getting better and better, want to see Han so what, just like larger version of the southern mountains, and then dotted on the distant snow-capped mountains, near the sun or a flood or a dinner of the Tibetans as well as the free movement of cattle and sheep farms have horses. Tibetan attitude to me getting better and better, but also to eat potatoes, is invited to play cards for. They later learned that eight out of the package the next day after this car to turn mountains, good, to go along with them to save me lots of money. I said a few days ago at the tourist attractions at drink buttered tea is not authentic, taste too light, they immediately called the driver a parking in front of Hut, please lived there gave me drink of the authentic Tibetan buttered tea, meals, immediate results -- - nosebleeds.
They are Nyingma Buddhist temple pilgrimage. In this there is no Chinese language annotations of the temple, only instructions from the Big Three: such as, the Goddess of Mercy, Padmasambhava. Tibet's Buddhist temples is very good-looking, diverse, even in remote areas will also be a small temple has its own characteristics. Some Tibetan Buddhist temples and even worship Kuan, and is wearing a Han installed, and is interesting that Guan Yu in the Tibetan Buddhism became the god of wealth. Guan Yu's death very unjust, very angry at the time of death, state in which the history of Han Dynasty the same argument, the next on the fun. The time of his death before his death the actions of state and the decision of his soul in the six reincarnation into a six in the non-day, more accurately, non-days of the Dragon. Since then, summon wind and rain, the scourge of the party. Four hundred years later, again a thoroughly transform the Tantric master from the snow-capped mountains out of his style and Padmasambhava different, completely on the defensive. Guan Yu of the Dragon Corps, the rate of men, he hit the n days n nights, found that the response to this old man did not, it declares the Buddhist, and picking up copies of bad fat - in charge of finance.
Morning, the car to drive from the quiet Basongco Lhasa. Gu Lulu moved into a small village breakfast. Wheat cake done here soon, and flour to the pot first touch, and hold anything, Take a moment out into the basin, from elders to all points will be torn pancake. Live together for three days and found that they were only a day before going to bed and wake up only when the hand-washing after washing, the elders saw him this morning, along the way really touched a lot of dirty things, think about the smile and started big mouth and biting . See look, the thought of this household in which their relatives, and later learned is not. After dinner to the 30 money, two thermos bottle we drink yak butter tea, eat cake and a half basin of wheat, but also carry away a box of apples.
The road was suspended many, crazy shopping, what things can still go to the car. There are upper chop done birch panels, use a broom to do a bunch of plants, a sack a sack of potatoes, fodder and so on. Tibetans here very rich (at least in nyang Valley) to a typical run, and do not count sheep, pigs, chickens, etc., with twenty or thirty head of cattle, small calves to be able to sell time-consuming two to three years, be able to sell a cow charges several thousand dollars. For the sake of stability, the country where not arbitrary charges, high cost of road construction will not take a certain percentage of the villages along the road levy is entirely provincial reconstruction or direct government funding.
Finally the two-day peace of mind to stay in Lhasa. A few days ago after reading this more systematic description of Tibetan Buddhism and folk customs of the book, before the end dare to enter Lhasa, the gods of the world.
Potala Palace. Buddhist temple of the Han smell stench of common, but also insight into the monks woodenly. No matter how good of their attitude no use. They care about can not be photographed, not counter-clockwise turning in circles and can not touch. Nafu expression seems to be complaining tourists to disturb their retreat. Guides their interpretation and written comments are too few and simple introduction to what is certain is that the historical origin or related even finished, and can often be heard on the status or a certain number of the pagoda inlaid jewelry to show off like the secular emphasis. Near the golden dome of a platform, there are thick album to sell, that is quite right Potala Palace building, pagoda statue art, Thangka paintings, ritual implements accessories do not have a profound, but quite comprehensive description of spent an hour browsing, listening to guided tours over a much longer exposure.
Jokhang Temple. Inside the Shrine of the Buddha legend is that he was alive, like a sculpture by the division according to their true capacity to shape, and abnormal efficacious. I would like, and then cattle people, when you see the Jokhang Temple decades ago when the saints are the kind of body movement, but also on the psychology master of Sakyamuni generate admiration was intended.
Sera. A distance to hear the human voice, and may Dingfei gravel pit relative to strike provision of sound. Turn into a courtyard, two 300 by monks in the debate. A kind of a break to answer a question like, there are singled out, and there is a copy up to five people, and accompanied by specific body movements. Into a five-man team, the voice recorded by a period of debate, and put it to them, one by one grin. The speculative tradition of five centuries have been handed down everyone's feeling more like a casual afternoon.
Drepung Monastery. Very suitable for large Micang. Dedicated to the most is to create the largest faction in the four faction master Tsongkhapa. The late fourteenth century, the monks lived a fast life, and gradually lose popularity of Buddhism in India has been exterminate repeating some risk. At this point, significantly Excluded Tsongkhapa esoteric ring to create strict rules of the Gelug Sect to revive Buddhism. Tsongkhapa in the ambiguous smile chubby, the monks in Lhasa today, again and lived a prosperous life. Upon hearing tourists, tour guides always Panchen Lama, the Dalai Lama (who is just two of the Gelug Sect of the Living Buddha reincarnation system for Bale) on the chatter, the more so miss the pilgrimage from afar the Akkadian and local approachable small temple.
On the play line, the older generation has been to provide too much of you of the classic route, but also depending on the conditions and each site vary. I can live and eat and some of the details given on reference. Such as: Sera and Drepung is easy to stowaway; Potala Palace ticket office not yet reached a sanchakou before, take a minute left after Rugong in Natiao; the Jokhang Temple to enter the main hall tickets unavoidable, but can be repeated使用. climber@citiz.net or climberzhao@hotmail.com
