There are many crossroads in life, wandering in which such a junction I came to this mysterious place, away from the nearest place paradise - Tibet.
From Beijing via Chengdu to Lhasa, a total of nearly 5 hours of flight, shortly after leaving Chengdu, I was a small plane window view under the shock: the snow-capped peaks appearing in the sun of that side is golden in color; due to the visibility of the air is good, can clearly distinguish between snow-capped mountains, green hills and rivers and valleys. Plane landed at Gonggar airport, I finally stood under the pure blue sky and white clouds, that is what the blue sky ah, like thick-color paintings, colorful dripping blue at your fingertips, direct sunlight bottom of my heart, can not help but take a deep breath several times, to flush out the lungs has long been a city of dust accumulated, temporarily forgetting what.
1 / worship Sera Sera is the three major monasteries in Lhasa (Drepung, Ganden, Sera) one. When I went to nearly Sholton Festival, the faithful gathered around Lhasa; early in the morning to the temple when the team had been waiting in a long, mostly Tibetan believers, they are dressed in various clothes and accessories, so that the more the old temple significant mysterious and sacred. I mixed in with the Tibetan team clockwise slowly into the hall, thick butter flavor to permeate the air, not help to sink to the inexplicable devotion, the remembered one sentence: to capture a sense of mystery is not the eyes, but the heart. Temple of worship in many large and small Buddha statues, each has a lot of Buddha statues before the donation to the charity, and even ragged formation of the elderly will be respectfully placed on a dime. The main shrine of Tibetan Buddhism, Sakya Muni Fo, Jampa Buddha, Enlightening the Buddha, each block has a main temple worship Buddha, but basically in all the temples have these three and Qianshouqianyan Guanyin Buddha. No. 33 on behalf of the Songtsan Gambo married Princess Wen Cheng, Zao and Chek respect for the legendary Princess incarnation of Guanyin tears whiteness degree Beam Beam and green, which means disaster for the mortal problem-solving. In the Buddha's watching, people's face was a long row of butter lamps shine yellow, and his eyes liquid exceptionally bright, soul windows.
2 / the heart of Lhasa - Jokhang Temple Jokhang Temple dedicated to Sakya Muni himself to open the light Sakya Muni 12-year-old life-sized golden image, thus the minds of Tibetan sacred sites, in front of perennial bull by the horns knock from all over the length the first pilgrimage from believers. I saw a people with disabilities, he had no limbs below the knee is still very serious manner kneel before rolling toward the Jokhang Temple, and his eyes focused on the front of Buddha bead, as if cast around them, or confuse or compassion does not exist. There are a vain old long beard and hair was completely white, and disorder to pull a bun at the back of the head of the clothes are dirty and put one side broken parcels, he was a little slow but really good, he must have come long distances, perhaps a few months, perhaps years. Enter inside the temple, although some areas could see through the restoration, but still a trace of dignity and atmosphere, the ancient rosewood issued secluded bright light. One lama spoke standard Mandarin for a few there are armed police officers to clear the way explained sermon, he speaks confidently and inputs, vivid, high spirits, he mentioned several times as a peasant grandmother grandfather taught him an early age their simplicity of a simple truth, to save, to contentment, do not worry and so on. Yuehua Jian, a huge rat in the Buddha's shoulders, jump off, attracting everyone Zheng Yuan of the eyes, and Anti-Epidemic Station lamas told us to wait to deal with. Nyima Tsering was later learned that he is, the Jokhang Temple Monastery Management Committee Director, took part in the Beijing University Eagle Society of the rescue operation after the accident.
3 / Sunrise Drepung Monastery
August 8, 2002 is the Tibetan Xuedun Festival, in several large Buddhist temple ceremony show. Buddha Temple Fair is a huge Tibetan Thangka (using the scroll paintings framed Cai Duan, India / painted / embroidered with sacred objects, mostly Buddha) in Buddhism after sunrise and start the show on stage, also called Sunning of the Buddha. Visual impact events in order to show the whole process of the Buddha, a large number of people, including other lamas of the monastery, local believers and tourists began to flock to 5:00 Sunning of the Buddha on the hillside opposite Taiwan (Tibet and Beijing have 2 hours of actual time difference, 5 o'clock, 3 o'clock is equivalent to Beijing), noisy waiting in the East gradually light, incense is getting stronger, Fahao rang, dozens of monks carrying a long, twisting his tanka from the Drepung measures to Qin Dian Sunning of the Buddha sets, and so bright Tianquan, after a side length of 30 meters near the square huge Thangka of Sakya Muni Fo show in people's eyes. Lamas surrounded by finishing in the Thangka escorts, near to touching the people worship, presented Hada, and money and goods, and then reluctantly back, give the location behind anxiously waiting for the others. Chanting in the smoke filled the mountain echoed, as if to tens of thousands of people around the Buddha Thangka care into the sky. Today, how much such a belief in the real world allows such a devotion of so many souls gathered together?
4 / haze days under the Nam Co Lake, meaning Sky Lake (Lake in the wrong shall be the meaning of Tibetan), 4740 meters above sea level, is the first Great Lakes in Lhasa, with Yamdrok Lake and Manasarovar Lake in Tibet and said three Great holy lake. The day is cloudy, through the grasslands of northern Tibet occasionally sun exposed, but wait until the Da Zhaxi the peninsula, the thick clouds cover the sun is still played. In the local Tibetan family to open a small restaurant, a warm host for us to do a clutch lamb and tsampa, of course, butter tea, highland barley wine. When Tibetans took Yong Shounie good tsampa, in good faith has blocked the psychological line of defense health requirements, the can carefully taste a hint of sweet food was so authentic Tibetan meal at home can be only in the Tibetan taste. Not far away is the lakeside restaurant, I call it the beach; I used to call it the sea, because it feels at first sight it is the sea - wide, vast, rolling waves. And the North Sea, garden Ming Yuen, the Summer Palace lake, there is no point similarities. Standing on the beach, opposite half of the boundless water, half of the faint distant snow-capped mountains, in the clouds appear, under the solemn fortitude, this is a real man of my heart have the momentum and temperament. At this point, he and I have a spiritual resonance do? The wind came, a little cooler, around the time he is not always feel cold.
