April 27 is located in sunny holy lake Manasarovar Lake Manasarovar Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, 20 kilometers southeast of Gangrenboqi peak, 4588 meters above sea level the lake covers an area of 412 square kilometers, the deepest lake up to 70 meters, is the world's highest freshwater lake in one of the. Learn in the Tianzhu Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang recording, "Tang Western Regions," said Yao Chi Manasarovar for the Western Paradise where the Queen Mother.
Today, we are ready to turn lakes, originally planned to start from the Hall area on foot, all the way clockwise to Chiu goneba (ie Wu Temple, "goneba" is a Tibetan "temple" pronunciation), and then transferred by car to the Jin dynasty temple Hill, but we are now approaching the temple Uganda.
Gesang Ti proposed to: "by Chiu goneba to the Hall Road area of 8 hours, there is a high road, you can enjoy a football boundless lakes and mountains, but the lack of change, and the holy mountains in the background, photographed at the same time will not be able to Kamiyama Shenghu shot into the picture, we should also see the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, the most beautiful section of the road is from Gossul goneba to Trugo goneba section of the road. "
Today, we Snooze already Day 3, has enough time to walk to the Trugo goneba, and Shan-shan and his brother go to the lake tour, LC and I decided to walk east Langbona goneba.
The road toward Langbona goneba there are two, one is a rocky beach along the lake, you can always close to waves Linlin of the holy lakes, the other a lake more than 20 meters away from the cliff, more can be a football holy lakes of the beautiful scenery, we decided to walk from the lake in the past, from the cliff on the back.
Ducks in the lake early in the morning has been cruising, not Shihai launched into a group. The lake is very clear, very far offshore they can be seen underwater river, lake have a lot of ice, there are more than 20 cm thick, covering an area almost 10 square meters large, haphazardly piled up in the lake. As the lake's high purity and yield of ice are extremely white, sparkling, shining in the sun is glittering.
Although this is noon, but the ice does not seem to be little sign of melting, or cold to put on that. Went to the lake, hand into the water, a surge of cold Zhitou palm of the hand, is I do not know how to fish, how to survive the cold of the lake, we saw a few tiny fish swim in the water's edge.
Although the switch to lake is flat road, but that is 4588 meters above sea level, and still manages to climb over the lake ice, but fortunately the company of a beautiful lake, we carry around while walking to stop and enjoy the food, the Dow did not feel tired.
Manasarovar lake by the mountains Gandise melting snow from the Himalayas, the lake and therefore as clear as sapphire. Its surrounding natural scenery is very beautiful, distant snow-capped mountains towering magnificent, wind off the lake waves Linlin.
Early Bon call it "Ma Chui wrong", the legendary lake gathered many treasures. The 11th century AD, Buddhism and the Bon carried out by the lake a religious war, Tibetan Buddhism Kagyupa victory, he gave has been used for many centuries, "Mary weeping wrong" Buddhism into "Manasarovar", "Ma next" is to commemorate the victory of Buddhism, namely, "eternal unbeaten Lake of jasper."
If the theory of its big, she is less than an area of 4635 square kilometers of the Qinghai Lake, on the highest elevation, less than 4718 meters, Namco, on the beautiful meandering less than Yangzhuoyong Lake, on the water intake of the blue, less than Peiku, On the animal as much as without, and the public the wrong classes. But her deep cultural connotation of the long heritage and broad, so she was doing my part to become public after the lake.
Manasarovar since ancient times has a fellow with the snow-capped mountains Gangdise Buddhism, Bon, Hinduism, Jainism of worship, and different regions, different nationalities, different religious beliefs, for there are different Manasarovar explanation and description, giving it different functions.
Buddhists believe that the Department of Island in the center-sighted, Katsumi mountain south of the Snowy Mountains to the north, there is Lake Mary to recover (ie, Manasarovar), for the Dragon King of the territory; added that there was a Brahmin to worship the holy water poured into the Here the formation of the lake, and later as the Dragon King's驻锡land; the scriptures say, the day before the night the Buddha incarnate, Moye Fu mother who dreamed that the gods sent to Manasarovar bathed her, washed the body in all the filthy later, ready to accept the pregnancy when the Buddha, the Buddha appeared in the direction of Gandise Hill, he turned into an elephant ride a light into the maternal-fetal ... ...
Hindus believe that Brahma Manasarovar is created by God. According to legend, Mana, after repair of the Gangdise Mountain, where he met Brahma and the mountain goddess, who has been here for twelve years of asceticism, but has no place to shower, then through the day to Brahma God Heathrow request, from a the Manasarovar. In India, Manasarovar is called Mana Sha Lo Fa Er, that is, Mana shahu Indian scriptures called the lake can wash all the sins of mankind that any body to touch the land or in which the bath-off person, Bo Lama toward heaven, who had to drink the water of the lake, the days will be up on the Shiva temple, and freed 100 times reincarnation sins.
No Hindus do not worship Manasarovar, and so far, the Indians still have a Manasarovar admiration, even the famous Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's ashes have also thrown into the Manasarovar.
Tibetan Buddhism believes that Manasarovar is due to Zhuanlun Wang Newport to save the majority of poor people, Guangji Bosch twelve years, the digging down of the Tao Mishui formed a lake. Lake has eight kinds of good deeds, drinking bath up to the great amusement of blank lines community; turn be Ching Lake pilgrimage fruit; Songtsan that Manasarovar inhabited by the Dragon King Buddha, the lake is full of merit; Tantric practitioners felt that Lake to live the King 5 hai el佛母so. It is the worship of the factions of Tibetan Buddhism, therefore, lake built many temples of various denominations.
Bon Bon think it is thanks to the goddess of the Mu Dawei Liberi Shi Yu Ye gather nectar made of, it is called Ma-Ma Chui Chui Qin Si that is big manna. Lake Mary, said there were 360 such as hanging the Dragon King Dragon King's palace, from the color what day of the palace, the changing seasons throughout the year kept out of a cauda equina-like elongated nectar water, blend in the lake and therefore the most Shusheng Manasarovar.
Bon respect for life or lifeblood Lake Manasarovar is the source of life, with infinite wealth and good deeds, call Mary next to the Yong Yi measures Beam, that is, his mother's Jasper Lake, with its shower that can clean all the dirt, eliminating Disaster bad pratyaya, achievement of all career longevity; turn Lake pilgrimage, drinking also is an extremely important
Whether it is snow on the nation or outside of the Nepalese, Indians the reason Gangrenboqi and Manasarovar considered as sacred, not just religious regimes, mainly because it originated from here in four well-known river - horse Sutlej, Shiquanhe, Sutlej, Kongquehe. It is these rivers have brought up four river basin vast land people, but also nurtured local splendid ancient culture.
Amazingly, these four animals named after rivers, not far away with the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra starting places at the same time, but toward a different direction, flowing through different regions, through the mountains and canyons and walk through plateaus, plains, winding 10 million years, eventually converge to a common destination - the Indian Ocean.
Originated in the north Gangrenboqi Shiquanhe the upper reaches of the river of India; originated Gangrenboqi, Manasarovar west of Sutlej into India to become Sutlej; rises Manasarovar east Gangrenboqi before the horse quan he is the source of the Brahmaputra; in to enter India became the Brahma Putra river, the Ganges through Bangladesh territory relative to sink; originated Manasarovar south, the Himalayas on the Kongquehe, have become a tributary of the Ganges River, Gege La upstream Entering India through Nepal.
At the same time they think horses, lions, elephants, peacocks these four animals are among the heavenly gods, so the mountain will become a "holy mountains" was Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Bon together a variety of sects regarded as a thousand hills ancestors, the source of rivers, is the center of the world is God's home. Every year many believers come to worship. India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim followers far behind other countries have gone through hard to come here to pray along the kowtow, Raoshanbaiba later, be considered perfect virtue, but a long-cherished wish of.
Go for a long time, he saw the left side of the cliff, there are some pit hole, the hole of the streamer obviously we have always seen a different, and has a dilapidated state and there is almost no rag or a streamer, it seems it is not a Tibetan Buddhist of the cave.
Suddenly a man coming out from the Cave, but also beckons to us, but for Han clothes he was wearing, I thought it was wise to spiritual millennium beckons to us. In any case, in the no man's land to see Ali, people who are always happy.
We walked over to him, pleasantly surprised to find that he would say, a little Chinese, but also took us to his tent grazing his tent on a cliff, we have to go onto the small road, a distance to see his little white tent ride In a black ground. Came closer, the original black ground is a layer of sheep manure. Sheep manure that does not stink, we have already used to, ha ha to him laugh: "Fuel is very easy to take ah, in a tent outside the one hand have a grasp."
He repeatedly said yes, pull us into his small tent, tents, very small, just enough for several of our people to sit down. Now we know that he called "measures Jieou Pearl"
I asked: "Do you lived in that Cave it?"
Measures Jie said with a smile: "Those who Cave is a centuries pilgrims to spiritual places, and now deserted, and I made some of them temporary shelter."
LC asked to: "That you have been living in this."
"I'm home in Champlain County, Township, in step Baga village, now come here to grazing only in the temporary living in the Cave."
"Your sheep do?" I only saw the sheep manure everywhere, but can not find a sheep.
"Another person in the grazing, I was in this to do some chores."
LC and hold carefully asked: "Are you not afraid of a wolf?"
Measures Jie laughed: "where's the wolf in broad daylight in the evening like hard to say."
We are talking very happy if an uncle walked in the original that he was herding people.
Jie measures introduced to us to: "He is still our village party secretary does."
The party secretary is not Chinese, he said a few words towards measures Jie Tibetan, probably will not take care of the guests said the kit measures because the measures jama embarrassed for what we do on a warm yak butter tea, but also come up with barley flour mix with Baisha Tang, this did not eat we have been tasted. Acceptance of measures, apart from the food kit, we also carry with them the dry food to fruit to share with them.
I asked: "Here to Langbona goneba How far?"
Jie measures did not directly answer questions, but asked to: "What time is it?"
LC looked at the table answered: "2:15."
Measures Jie said: "From this to the Langbona goneba to an hour, at most one and a half hours, but if you want to go back Chiu goneba words, the best return now because of the holy lake every afternoon, blowing wind, you return to Chiu goneba just wind and the road will be difficult to go may be dark before returning Chiu goneba. "
Although we'd love to go Langbona goneba, but still listened to the views of kit measures. Farewell, a measure of hospitality kit, follow the guidance kit measures onto the cliff path, altitude 6714 meters on the peak of Kamiyama Gangrenboqi stands in the distance, the main vein Gangdese continuous mountain is quite spectacular, unfortunately from the too far.
Standing tall cliff in terms holy lakes, is another kind of scenery, height can be seen further, if there is a large lake behind the magnificent snow-capped mountains, endless round and round white clouds on blue sky, fresh breeze off the lake , quietly sat cliff, was particularly a relaxed and happy.
Wind is in the increase, we have to leave, the wind came straight into the front of our faces, eyes can not be opened, strong straight wind filling the conditions of our auto-body reaction, nostrils rapidly choke the contrary, it does not suck into the air by. We are only a taste of measures Jie said strong winds, the wind continually increasing, and sometimes even against the wind blow back our previous steps, we have to first leeward squat little bit before the wind to move forward.
Wind, and not the slightest signs of abating, we spotted the wind and the air gap between the short-lived, the wind got up a weakened forward, the wind blew again put down to go back toward the draft, is too great to squat again.
We really do not think one or two hour change is so big, fierce winds let our foot to increase a great deal of difficulty, and the cliff is a small hill after another, all the way upward climb. You do not climb the hills, it is the highest, when you encourage myself that as long as the climb up the downhill, and the results of the back there is a climb up a another one, not knowing there are a few.
We now know the choice of the morning is wrong and should be no wind in the morning when the high road, the afternoon walking the lake when the wind is strong, despite all the wind, but at least do not have to climb, at an altitude of 4600 meters on the plateau continued to climb, has never been the kind of dangerous is people can not feel the plateau, are we still wore can turn your blowing winds, and we return several times more difficult road than we are to climb Mount Everest but also tired.
But now, no longer off the cliff back to the lake, because the mountain edge of a cliff is a steep cliff, simply can not go on, and only went to the first can go back to the lake. I really feel the forces of nature, and you do not dream of trying to conquer it, only the heart with awe to worship it, you little success only natural for your pity only, once it is angry, How can it be petty humans can resist.
I am tired of his legs and his old ailment, but will also peeling my will, I said to myself: "If we can go back alive, that Ukraine Temple, then I'll not walk." But these words to me and cat weight-bearing foot Tiger Leaping Gorge, also said no way, nature's temptation, like me, like Xin Boda, had to face a tough hard times will not be trying to say, but time and again into her arms.
LC four cross-head and I hope we all understand that, in this case without any help, even if the line is not giving up, we must rely on our own to go back. Finally we have one of the highest hills have been climbed, although still far from the cliff Chiu goneba, under the existence of clear objectives, the confidence is back, and when we returned Chiu goneba already 7:00, and return with multiple three times the time.
Chiu goneba of villages there is a small natural hot springs, the locals put it processed into a small open-air bathroom, for human bathing, Shan-shan and his brother went to the hot spring bath, because it is sulfur spring, I have a big gap left dared not bubble, beat the heat blisters a bit tired feet.
Gesang came asked us to go tomorrow Trugo goneba trip.
I said: "Today go very tired, do not know tomorrow, do not walk the line, and blame Lydia, put my foot crushed."
Gesang said: "The holy lakes afternoon will be a very fierce wind blowing, of course, difficult to go. We can do it tomorrow morning walk, then ride a while, good to save strength of Mt in the afternoon to go back, the wind and the back, Gossul goneba to Trugo goneba section is the most beautiful, and can also see the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, compared to today you walk the lake even more beautiful. "
I hear that again I have just forgotten their promise of: "Well, if my legs go to our resume tomorrow."
Today's dinner turned out to be white rice, add lamb stew, lamb stew Unfortunately, the taste of the attitude should be discouraged, and may be the lack of materials, lamb done a show, that is not good taste. However, I very liked the atmosphere, where the Tibetans were dressed in traditional Tibetan costumes, body covered with fine decoration, moving Shi Hai Ding Dong sent a clear crisp sound. They say Tibetan, wearing Tibetan clothes, live insular lives, where thick Tibetan flavor is that you can not feel the first possession to get. Went to the Potala Palace, I have at best only a passing rush of Tibet monk in here, that I reflected that I went to Tibet.
Turn about 90 km Lake Shenghu weeks to turn lakes take 4 days time, generally clockwise direction. Along with 2 / 3 (clockwise from Seralung goneba to Chiu goneba) of the Road is close to the shore line, north of the road to go through Hall area. This road can run cars, beach, gravel, marsh alternately, in the lake there are several river into the south-east of Manasarovar takes Tang Shui river. To bring their own food and accommodation is available along the way there are temples, but the conditions are extremely poor.
Although there is no Kamiyama walk along the lake up and down the hillside as difficult, but most of the bumpy gravel roads, walking up and also very demanding. Especially difficult is that in the south bank of the lake to face the challenges of streams. When the rivers and streams encountered on their way, only Tang Shui and before, there is no other solution. The holy lake every afternoon, the wind is strong, hard several times to turn lakes, most of the southwest wind blowing, the wind and the hard-line can be most people's morale hit bottom on the left want to live will support you, the wind though Good point, but the wind blowing as when you can put your vacillation, preferably early road, windy in the afternoon, before the went to the next turning point.
Most people start a clockwise turn from the Chiu goneba Lake, but also began to change in the Hall area, so that supplies went to Chiu goneba waiting for your arrival to the Jin dynasty Temple, as long as Chiu goneba to the Hall area can be a sports car, the other is the Lake, no road.
If you just travel, Chiu goneba from the start, counter-clockwise through the Gossul goneba arrived Trugo goneba, Kamiyama on the lake, the scenery is best.
By the Hall area via Seralung goneba to Trugo goneba can also watch Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, but Seralung goneba to Trugo goneba good between the several rivers to go through, right foot during the rainy season people are a great test.
Chiu goneba to the Hall by the District's best to go, but also sports car, worried that people can make cars to follow, but the scenery is absolutely the worst in three paragraphs, and people caught in between the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra can not simultaneously watch Kamiyama the holy lake.
