Shigatse brilliant - Tashilhunpo and the Panchen palace (8 / 21)
On this day, is a sunny day, I came to the famous temple Shigatse - Tashilhunpo, it really is a large, imposing extraordinary, magnificent, gorgeous very, worthy of the four monasteries of the Gelug Sect Yellow Sect , of which one is the Tar, I had that experience before the start of travel to its big. Unfortunately, I played late, and called a rickshaw, Man Tengteng have come to the Tashilhunpo, the road on both sides of the market is still a lot of time to waste. The Tibetans want to buy some homemade yogurt, I heard the food is very magical Tibet, the Tibetans have never had cancer, yogurt is their secret. But suddenly find that they are using bottles and cans far from uniform, there are clearly differences in the quality, but also smell a bit strange taste, went to a nearby place to buy bread and water.
Tashilhunpo not so much a temple as it is a city, inside the transport complex, temples and residential phases, a duplication, there is no signs and no one guideline, like a maze, like butter on the inside to do directional movement, it is stimulation. Is always along the road on a curve, suddenly discovered that one can only accommodate one person's path, and then will suddenly see the light at the end of trail. It is mountain heavy water re-doubt a blind alley and vista. I also accidentally broke into houses inside, but then I also found some laws, such as placing the window to see the flowers, mostly residential. Do not know if living in the temple next to feel? Not feel that their heart is particularly close from the Buddha do?
I have one side of the Buddha in the endless sea cruising Shigatse reverie of all the people come together to worship when the save flow of people moving like a river must be the general influx while not forgetting the snap a photo. There is a photo I am more satisfied with the screen there are old trees, old walls, as well as a monk, the space divided into three parts. However, I wasted too much time on the road, so when I came to Tashilhunpo Temple, the main hall, when they had come to break off about noon time. Big bad! Regret should not be SNOOZE! Fortunately, the Tashilhunpo monks are very friendly, they have a few greeting visitors in front of me quickly to keep up with the team, and the other a few guidelines on how I go, there are a few people have left behind the door. I remember several palaces, all I had left out, they hastily locked the door and wanted to really thank them. After pointing them, I have an audience with up to 26 meters Jampa Buddha (STRONG BUDDHA), that the future Buddha, you can foresee the future of the sorrows and joys. Sure enough金身extraordinary, the eyes are blue, pure blue is very beautiful, much like in India and Nepal Foyan, on the eyelid there is a deep depression, with regard to this, I own understanding. Because the future is difficult to foresee, and life is always weather counterparts, mixed joy and sorrow, so I think that depression is used for holding your tears. A very poignant explanation, is not it? A total of five-storey building to go to their head-eyes, but walked so much distance, but also said that only hard work in order to exchange for a smile.
When I visited the main hall finished, they went out at the exit, I made a Tashilhunpo according to the picture, and then lunch. Restaurants outside of a few children, too pitiful and slipped into the past to find leftovers make a living, I see quite sympathetic, they deliberately left most of all to them, the restaurant hostess took the initiative to give them a meal.
The afternoon, go to the Panchen Lama's palace, do not know how they set the time to visit, to the door know to be formally opened until 15:30, but only when I went over there more than two points. In front of Tibetan women have played a tent canvas support, greet the guests drink tea and Tibet. I do not want to sit in vain and so on time, doing nothing, try and gatekeepers chat accidentally slipped on the go. Instead of the outside and so, it is better to sit inside to enjoy the shade under the shade of a tree. Inside the large, towering trees, this time the sky is pure blue, white clouds floating Jisi, very cozy. I am very careful, because the porter had told me to close the inside when the Tibetan Mastiff patrol.
I was in the periphery slowly walk a long way to go before they reached the main hall before the lawn in full bloom with a luscious flowers blossoming, with white and violet, while the violet is the depth varies spilled in the green on the grass, reflecting the gentle afternoon sun, my heart must be drunk.
Later, I on the lawn at the end of an old tree and saw two monks sat grapes are old enough to monks, a bell in hand, shake a few from time to time, it is Happy look. I walked up and casually chatting with them, they are very friendly and invited me along with grapes, sweet sweet grapes. Until the visit time is coming, I did, and bid them farewell, of course, did not forget and leave the impression that their incomes camera.
Then I went into the palace gardens of the Panchen Lama, here is a very beautiful place. Tibet, a strong light, making the flowers here, beautiful and intoxicating, rich red, bright yellow, purple too rich, even hanging on the branches of the golden fruits are so attractive, the moth orchid (also known as the tiger orchid), the beautiful were blooming, there are many I could not even do not know the name of the flower, only pious accommodate 11 of their shadows.
Took me to visit that monks have been very patient waiting for me in the side, but I was so fascinated by flowers to. Later, I beg your pardon, let him first go to reception to other visitors. Many of my friends see me flowers photos taken that day when all said to me that simply can not believe that there is such a vibrant flowers. This flower is used to irrigate heart, so there will never be faded beauty.
Today is a good day, but since I lost my tripod, so feeling bad, thinking to get back to Lhasa and then fly directly to Shanghai home, this is the only trip I fold path, because then I chartered departure from Lhasa, through Shigatse to Nepal. But this is even more strongly a person of my lone courage and determination.
The way back to Lhasa, they actually ran into that three tourists from Guangzhou, the ride to return to Lhasa! This is my fourth time back to Lhasa in!
