Listening to friends talk about the story in Tibet, not blue sky, that is, white clouds, a more superficial to talk about Tibet in three colors: blue is the sky, the green is the grass, black is the tent? Which in my view, green is the rubbish bins and taxis, black is the Tibetan people's skin, as well as blue-wah-wah is the disappointment of people in the face. If Tibet is really what the three colors, it is a kind of white, wisdom, and strength of the red, black - 3 be separated from that of the four-armed Guanyin Bodhisattva Manjusri, and interpretation of King Kong hands out of the national character, in their modification of the traditional stress architecture are everywhere to abide by the rules of the three colors. Although the Buddhist scriptures to teach people not persistent, but the coincidence was that this universal religion of the nation, and the Buddhist dedication, so that they can pay at any age for the afterlife for two hours a day for more than five bodies to bid for land price. Below, and here that, perhaps, all irrelevant, but it is very real record, such as over the misty cloud of Chengdu, as this piece may be a little glimpse of the mysterious story of the land.
Looked down when the plane was about to land, sand, or river is actually hard to tell, so I suspect that once gave birth to diseases of the eye. Only later did I know that this is the famous Brahmaputra. Just because she's velocity is too slow, so only see traces of a static wave, giving rise to the illusion of the desert seems. Talking about the water, but also it was very magical! Although not the wrong timber that is absolutely clear as winter ice boundaries and makes the incredible, but after a heavily guarded bridge Qushui immediately into fresh water from the Yellow River school of bald Lhasa River, did not get a definite answer. Lhasa River with islands, Endogenous trees, magnificent in the background of bare mountains and sunny-colored slip sheet under the wash, so I believe that here can serve as a scene painter at the election, because any person of color-sensitive feel in this duck to water.
As if lying in bed after a few centuries, the result Caishui of more than 1 hours. This process, I was struggling Oliver, eyes, like depression, the disappeared. Chengdu people here are mostly dry fear high fear (my summary): high elevation we see more, but all year round humidity of 80% of the basin to the "holy water absorption" - Hell! ! I added the "five lines of defense" (eat a lot of fruits, many vegetables, drink a lot of water, lip polished like lard, the rainy season), mouth, or become a sausage plus package. India's car playing songs, and patiently said: "No matter where you go, do not forget my love, do not forget this beautiful spring ... ..." I am pained to feel a swollen upper lip, like the protagonist of the song that there is love moisture, I have done epistaxis in!
One said: "Auntie, I beg you, ... ..." a year-old girl naive smile - this is an exaggeration lies. Usually go to a hair away money, luck almost, have been stick to letting go, you can see that not far from the 1:00 not know the number of those waiting to be rescued it. If you are unsure have enough pocket change for charity, even if in order to reward, the only thing Province of. There are fancy food in your hands, the seven-foot Tahan was four or five children chasing running is not uncommon, even if to say "blocking the door" (Tibetan, "not") is homophonous with no avail. In fact, these children are also quite poor, probably the number of seven or eight Jinmiao the most happiness one can know, at least enough to live comfortably.
The most devout prayer five bodies to bid for land law, a month to have hundreds of thousands of times, 24 hours a day in approximately 1 / 12 have to do this on the snowy plateau vigorous exercise, people had to admire their strength and perseverance. "Faith" is the word is already used cliche, but the real people of faith to pay is a rare and expensive. Lhasa is a very slow pace of the city, in addition to the natural conditions of the special roof of the world, there will not be understood by people outside the faith of a Xinxiang Fo, but interest in the creation of productive dull. As we use the curious eyes watching them, and they are never unwilling to be finished with a tough look at a group of queue-jumping does not know these groups worship the idiot.
Many people said so, I'm not sure if it is true or not, because not seen in Tibet, not dirty child. From one place to another, along with children waving to us, welcome. Sometimes cars will stop, and then the car people have to carry some of the dry food thrown down, and then the child will be very grateful to the watching for them to eat the outsider. If this screen appears in Zhang Yimou's films, accompanied by most of the "tragic" type of music, but maybe they are not happy? Tour guide told us that these children had never visited the outside world, they feel that they are very happy. Perhaps it was because there was no contamination of the so-called civilization, did they look a lovely temperament. At this point I think is my "joy to the half-open" theory, and the Buddhist life is quite different from the suffering.
No matter what kind of devout Buddhists occupation, will be in the maintenance of a minimum standard of living under the premise that all proceeds go to the temple. Traders, hawkers, farmers pastoralists ... ... beggars day of schoolwork is to pray to Buddha and discuss sub-child, as long as the hungry stomach, put all the proceeds as a considerate hand. Almost no industry, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Tibet does not exist, it is adherence to the principle of non-tainted; beggars are not considered to be the scum of society, they are only in their own way in the Xiu Fu reported. Jokhang Temple there is evidence: Qinghai, a plastic households make every family property of a gold Buddha.
People say that求佛can, the sake of convenience not, saying: "This is Tibet." In the temple, even the women's room have not had it. When I see TOILET signs, the elation in, a dirty men's fleet has been able to see from the spacious rooms drill out of the pit. I am suddenly very embarrassing, but still asked: "women's room where ah?" He came saying "men and women together" also laugh about. I do not know what ingredients it contains laughter, in short, I was rushed away and washed out - is called "wandering" three times. Eventually guide help me guard ... ... and inside the flies, more gains can be plugged hole - is too horrible! ! ! It is said that Tibet is not a fly past - the remark authenticity is questionable. Because of the myth when calling back the soul of King Gesar, turned into a mosquito and a protective deities. Other hand, Lhasa will be no flower, but to negate the "city bug" existence, it really is a bare-faced lie.
We became a "pauper"! Appears to have nothing is not because Diuqian or robbed, but because things are too expensive here. Everyone said to go to Burma to make rich people feel: it is casual cross-border post-millionaires, something cheap. In Tibet, souvenir casual than on the more than a thousand million. To see what each of Italy, and I said: "If I have money, I will ... ..." hey, buy a gift into a difficult matter. Look Laiqiao go on supermarket goods cheaper - on "This is Tibet" I am afraid there is no way to explain a word; not a common problem in tourist areas? Cankuicankui.
Happens here, gold and silver jewelry to see evil in our eyes. Statue of mandala and the like at every turn in the tens of tons of pure gold manufacturing; and this is the sole purpose of Pediatrics - countless people are dazzled precious stones. Tour guide pointed to a white gem, said: "Zheke stone, nor how valuable - can buy the whole city of Suzhou." Staggering! Also, it is estimated that the Potala Palace, the total value of all the treasures of the earth can buy. So I guess the whole of Lhasa is the most developed of their construction and their production is more artistic than the mummy of the Dalai Lama, Zen Buddhism and a few spots Living Buddha金身production process. Most people would answer this question: Since they are so rich, why are still very far behind? Including myself, had this question, because only see blue sky and white clouds of the boundaries, the Tibetan Ruozhen into the bustling world will no longer be as like Yamdrok Lake, he never forgets to cover their own The magnificent and the people let them go.
Lost in Potala
If someone is willing to shoot such a film, a certain box office. This is the Ministry of style and Lost in Space is very disparate films. In the Red Palace, very easy to get lost, but only the monks living in the White House. ~ ~ A group of excited tourists come to the mysterious Potala Palace, the inexplicable loss of sense of direction, even the compass is not abiding by. Then members one after another mysterious disappearances in the end were left with only your breathing ~ ~ the dead of night, reaching not seen in this pitch-dark place, stay with you for only a shock for the Heaven of the Buddha, Bodhisattva, there is a pagoda where with a spiritual body ... ... ~ ~ This is of course only a joke among friends, but it is really a concept from the psychology of terror. Potala Palace, the Temple and Temple each have a collection of compact structure, atmosphere, bizarre, during which many channels, it is no wonder we have such thoughts of.
Norbulingka Summer Palace tour guide explained an elephant, monkeys, rabbits and birds pyramids were under the cool shade on a tree in order to teach the world the peaceful coexistence of the pictures, careless had a slip of the tongue, went so far as emitting "green "word. Perhaps because it is the popular word strike, peer visitors do smile. In Lhasa, the almost invisible trash, let alone cleaning the (in fact is there), but the ground was not even clean debris at all. Tourist city clean is like a round where the public should be taken for granted, like planting trees and grass grow flowers, but to nurture nurture environmental awareness tourist city of Chengdu people, just like hanging in the park, "leave your footprints, take away memories" brand in general.
Photo 2000 - Fabric palace shoot photos for every meet 75; all finished to more than 2000 pieces of it. Is said to be in order to preserve the heritage. However, since the need to protect, he should completely呀. As in the Jokhang Monastery where, no matter how much, are not allowed to shoot. We hate only did not bring cameras, such as the paparazzi as offenses against the wind, photographed Saint goods - as long as the monitor is not infrared.
Chair the werewolf? "Drepung passed away not long ago called the auspices of 'werewolf' master." Dangdang Dangdang! ! ? Listening tour stop here, I almost did not Juedao. I have repeatedly asked "Werewolf?" "Werewolf?" Guides are the same as face-color nodded, then nodded. Only later did I find out the "Long-jen." Do I have malice in their hearts do? If this has been the faithful know, I am afraid is a dead end. Is no exaggeration - there was a Beijinger, to say Master Tsongkhapa was wearing a yellow cap when the disorder to take Pipi it, and asked: "how not cuckold?" The result almost tragically cut into pieces. Politically sensitive areas can not tolerate someone says the wrong thing, doing wrong things. I accidentally stumbled over a Tibetan look, he used a sharp eye hate me, scared me straight to hide behind the others.
Tibetan monks could eat meat, red and even taught marriage - with the group of people inside the minds of the "nun" is not very different from it? In fact, with the food aspect is related to natural conditions in Tibet. Princess Wen Cheng year, when Tibet had to do with the butter flowers, and vegetables, this is minimal. Came back from Tibet and felt the Han Buddhism, impure or even hypocritical. Chizhai how, day burning incense to worship Goddess of Mercy and how - the Buddha in their hearts are not in trouble seek the meaning of Buddha bless, but wholehearted dedication Bai Fu. As long as the world remember these "greed, fury and folly of the" three ring, a sizeable numerous bound commandments.
We became a foreigner? This is not a separatist cause trouble oh. A Tibetan meal to eat into the land children - yo, all foreigners, or else the Tibetan attendants. Cijing can not help but suspect that this is China? Where foreigners are eating ruddy, nodded repeatedly. Butter tea tastes better do? - First heard, but also acceptable; to try one, Ugh ~ ~ Zhengou nausea! Then eat buffet similar to the Tibetan Sichuan, Sichuan has not yet delicious. Say that we have too much stress on the meal, I watched a Bang Bang devour the foreigners, had to Mengguan highland barley wine.
Well, if by yak pressure, and how can he live to today? Read Tibetan, the "bull" Hurricane come scattered fled in horror. I think this "bull" was somewhat humanized it, at best, but standing in front of Yaotouhuangnao咱, it was decided when the return to "Warriors." I did not realize he had insatiable, so that and give vigor to pressure me! Fortunately, there is a scapegoat, and it did not fall, but you also won the attention of ceremony. To maintain its face, I pat "cow-head" in order to show happy heart. Then, this "bull" even more outrageous, "Shelter sweep head", "Tau rub face," designed to Rendui fall in. the scene was very lively - was actually fake yak hands and head!
Is not tired or any other reason, is called true Yunliwuli. When the aircraft to take on the chaos of the sentence, "It's really a lot like Cloud Mountain," the "sigh" (in fact it is the mountains). Well above sea level! In the lake on the way to the sheep, line to the height, all in the walk through the clouds. Depended on the left of the car got skin like a mountain, on the right addition to white, or white. The car, forcing people to listen to Stefanie song. In the absolute nature, I found myself have never been so hated燕姿, concurrent vow to buy this long-awaited "Kite." I guess this is the forces of nature, a small woman is too insignificant, and are too insignificant in.
Go to Shigatse car wants to open a 7,8 hours, it is not feasible at all - would be very embarrassed to be convenient to look for shelter around singing folk songs. So they do not intake any food, I refused to reveal meal. To say that in Tibet, but the people like flies and enthusiasm, while the remark was difficult to convince something presentable and acceptable. People do, and their color, like warm, honest, laugh-ri does not contain brains - are, therefore, have a meaningful smile, but look at those who laugh, listen to those who can feel the laughter of the definition of laughter, but also be able to receive a little ashamed Introduction Here, in order to brag that they are free of this laugh their brains. Like when I get off Shuhuojingu who met Uncle, rosy skin, dark face with sunshine and the mountain tops, leaving traces, holding pipe, but also told me that the present I suspected a small village The house is a village unused. I first discovered the man's house there to be so natural as a foil for appropriately, and begins with the most realistic point of view photographed and harmony as well forget the empty belly.
Everest when the mountain? The city is very crowded. If you are lucky enough to my house behind the house there is a survival of the hill, then it's like Shangri-La place, love it you will spend some time over the weaving step on every square. If someone would be the world's highest Everest when he was home, the mountain, can you believe it? 56 Tibetan sisters actually were divided into many branches, among them Harper family. Harper industrious and brave tribe, many foreigners would take advantage of this, so that they captured many precious pictures on Mount Everest, sell a lot of money. And all the Everest climbers who lead the way by the local Harper. Harper clan life is more than Mount Everest has been countless times. Zhennai When the world is also the first Warrior!
Heard you tour guide said that there will be a lot of Tibetan speaks English rather than Chinese. This point, until I came to believe that a CAFE had passed. My waiter said: "This is the yuan to pay it?" Good about her ability to imitate by immediately relayed asked another waiter. I have insight, changed to say that in English, the only solution of communication problems. I also do not deceive guide! The Barkhor in Lhasa shopping, is controlled by turning the Road is one, but also gathered a lot of foreigners. Unfortunately, we have to have to rush and go in haste, failed to find the fact that there are a number of cafes. Lost his knowledge is not far, will wake up today it was wrong. Quoted incorrectly can still forgive, treatment can not afford to pass up the opportunity to learn. I decided to go to Beijing Road, a street play on a small CAFE play.
20:00 to wait. I ordered a cup of coffee, a milk, oats, a plate of fried noodles in Lhasa. 20:44, impatient, I decided to continue to wait. Two Spanish women on the opposite side, but can not find the courage to open. I am afraid he is too bold, impolite to interrupt others, talk, but do not want to waste the day to eat dinner near-duck second's consideration. Finally, to be next to a group of laughing people in Hong Kong was gone, the confrontation ended. I hand fork, mouth risk "Hola". They responded to one, I asked, "Es tu Espanolas?" (Meaning, you are the Spaniards do?). The results prove my judicious. Unfortunately, their English is not good, I had to mix some Meitoumeinao very limited Spanish. Their laughter does not mean that I am out of courtesy, in fact, I did enough to bold, not to find out each other's Dier say that they are Real Madrid fans. They laugh, Road: "No. No. No.Barcelona." At this point, I almost fell off chair - should know that in Barcelona, said with a smile that he is in front of Real Madrid fans are provocative, and in "peacetime" But the taboo呀. Fortunately, only two of middle-aged women, otherwise life can not be maintained carry on Sri Lanka. Having said that it comes as a pleasant conversation fairly, but also took a photograph of. For me, for the first time the Spaniards were able to talk to a living, they do, I am afraid has finally understood that they faced a Western-style English people.
Living Buddhas are found in Spain? Heard of this, I is indeed a surprise. To sing the main theme of Christianity in the West where there are many Buddhists. For example, I read a book on Buddhism is written in Norwegian. The above facts not surprising. Search for the reincarnation of the process is also very interesting to do: chanting monks living Buddha in Santa lake until the lake rises in the shadow of a play for everyone in general monks wander to find the true phantom lake, the order to find a soul boy.
Shigatse is Tibet's last leg of trip. Here is a little high altitude in Lhasa, the weather was hot and flies points. But the hotel room floor of a high - five-story - is pricey, and do not take the elevator which can not work. Is not inert, but a mad ah. Roof of the world still run uphill climb, extremely difficult for the ancients had already warned us. Coupled with Tibet's underdeveloped, with very little elevator floor, while five or six of the construction of natural balance as high. What a warrior on foot up to the Potala Palace, the roof can be called human exceedingly admirable ah! Words to live Shigatse night, a gang of fellow fans gathered to double to pull the license, an outsider like me had their own fun. When yes, the wind blowing, thunder and lightning during the day from the window looking straight beheld on the horizon, clear skies Lang Lang, this time yak Cypriot days, two discharge. Only in the plateau, can we see such a vivid lightning, such as the filament, such as the Silver Snake, such as the Franklin seduce objects. Here is the habit of taking pictures, I picked up the camera, and regardless of whether the imaging, we took one. It turned out flash in the pan, miss the opportunity. I will never give up, then one eye looking forward to the moment the tense quiet Hou. I realized to the photographer's hard, muscle stiffness, eyelids sour, so the first time ever trying to record the frequency of lightning, it was his life for the first time with data on their erratic.
Basin response? Only heard of altitude sickness, the basin also have? Was exactly the situation in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau little into at least five, only 6000 meters attractive. Back to Chengdu, though not so exaggerated and unloading of oxygen, but also quite suited, less than upstairs floor is already overburdened. The process of landing until over an hour on the Tiangeyifang intensified the emotional mind seems to have begun to miss left me with many memories of the magical land - perhaps just do not want this end of the ... ... Of course, the symptoms include congestion, crowded extremely suited, even the streets of the Han Chinese people seem bizarre.
This is the logic of Section 24 recorded some of my experiences in Tibet and the nature of the trip some of the thoughts and feelings. As the beginning of this article said, I can not say this nation and their own place to live much about, but this time the trip had lifted my future Xiang Waizou willingness - to understand the world we live in the world and a variety of residents. Of the provincial bar, so unrealistic to temporarily close up. Beginnings and ends. To the end of a good, or to borrow the words of Albert Einstein: The world's most incomprehensible thing: The world is understandable. And then, in turn, said: This is the world's most understandable thing: The world is still an enigma. Every journey is the thinking and delusions triggered.
