October 8 Warrington changing to light rain in Lhasa (the Jokhang Temple, Museum)
Early in the morning, took a few samples to buy a small gift to the Jokhang Temple to open light. At 8 o'clock rush into the temple and smooth free riders. Jokhang Temple, Tibet's most famous temple of the millennium, but also the Tibetan Buddhist center, if that is full of sanctity and dignity of the Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple in the Tibetan mind is filled with warm, easy-going, is the Tibetan people through long-distance trek and knock the other body length head, the long road to the final destination of pilgrimage.
Jokhang Temple is the main worship Buddha Sakyamuni's life-sized 12-year-old golden image, according to legend by Princess Wen Cheng when brought into Tibet. This Buddha face cordial kind, think of the other body length from afar knock heads, camped for pilgrims who have experienced untold hardships later, can be looked up for this shiny golden Buddha statue, must be their biggest comfort, and This is their long-awaited moment is their moment of pious pursuit of happiness all the returns.
Into the Jokhang Temple, there is a large doors to the front, and never be broken shrines is a long light, the stones on the floor have been devout people grinding shiny, and surrounded by a turning of the corridor, turn 380 turn The bins are Tibetan pilgrims, when they must do their homework. The Tibetan pilgrims this morning and it is too much, the team has lined up a big door, the Tibetans who are breaking the rules, no queue jumping, no one so much noise, we have also followed the team started to walk, but the mobile rate is too slow , fat boy must return to Beijing the afternoon, we had to come out from the ranks, to explain the situation with the monks, a monk is very sensible, a wave will be released, and we all line up in front of the Tibetan Sakyamuni Great Buddha Hall walked Jingzhi Zhao , it is not easy to see this Buddha statues, Buddhist statues on both sides (both two legs) were opened two small doors, around the Buddha walk around, you must go to these two small door, bowed, and we finished OK ceremony, in which custody of the Buddhist temple a monk asked us if something happens, we have to bring a gift to let him help us out to open light, he agreed, and we symbolically give some incense money, and lamas who brought us a a white hada. Every Buddhist temple hall is overcrowded and is impossible to have a good look, and we can only with the crowd an a cursory look at a Buddhist temple, turn down, has also been sweating. Jokhang Temple on the second floor, opening up the morning, while the golden dome is not open. Jinding the afternoon open, but the first and second floors are locked up many of the Buddhist temple is not open. And I decided to go down the river again before the Jokhang Temple.
Come out from the Jokhang Temple, but also to accompany fat boy and buy some gifts, with the returned to the hotel. Rest for a while, fat boy carrying luggage with us to eat the last lunch. We bid farewell to the fat boy, went to the Tibet Museum. Tibet Museum in the hall 97 years, a total of five-storey building, the museum, by a museum staff member to each person issued a brief speech device, which explain the heritage of the Tibetan museum is almost fine. From the Paleolithic Age begun to tell, has been described up to now in Tibet, human geography history, folk customs, wildlife, etc., can be learned here, here is to understand the best place in Tibet, well worth a go, if carefully visit , it takes more than three hours.
From the museum out of day it began to rain, cold, cold. Squeeze the morning a half-day team to open light, afternoon, stood in the museum to see objects more than three hours, feeling really tired and I quickly punched the pigs back to the hotel resting. And down the river and began to discuss the return of the thing, pigs because of work reasons, need to advance back to Guangzhou, we have decided to buy 10-day return trip ticket back to Chengdu, Chengdu, once again by pigs, a travel agent friend to help us set Chengdu to Guangzhou, Shenzhen ticket. Thus chatted for a while, the sky clear up in Lhasa. I have been trying to shoot down the river under the blue sky, the Potala Palace in Lhasa, but a few days ago outside the city of missed shooting opportunities. Because pigs are feeling tired and really did not want to move, and this rare opportunity I will not be missed, and pick up the camera straight out of the Potala Palace Square Hotel riding tricycles. Wandering in the square, nice feeling of freedom, but this rare good weather did not last long, a short while on the thick black clouds, it began to drizzle. It seems that many opportunities are a little vertical both passed away, and get caught, and gave up and watched it on can only come from your side.
October 9 Qingzhuan Yin changing to light rain in Lhasa (the Dragon King Lake Park, the Jokhang Temple)
Lhasa, the past few days have been cool, the temperature is very low, the minimum to 4 degrees. Slept a Lanjue, and the pigs I first went to your mother hot South of the return air ticket to buy tickets tomorrow, followed by a walk along it reached the Dragon King Lake Park. Mountain Lake Park is located in the Potala Palace, the Dragon King, after the construction of the Potala Palace is the original form when the excavation of an artificial lake, parks and large, the residents of Lhasa to this park like a weekend. The path along the park slowly on to the century-year old cypress park, these cypress trees are still green and luxuriant, exuberant foliage, no significant hoarse. Pig said, here is a good place for trance, remark is not false. The Dragon King the center of a small lake Longwangmiao, VI Dalai Lama is said to be built and requested the Dragon King moved into the lake, the title of the resulting Longwangmiao. Me and down the river and entered into this small temple, the temple's monks are very friendly, Mandarin is also very good to say, he gave us about this temple on a total of five individuals, and now there are only two individuals, the remaining three individuals to buda La Palace opposite Chakpori of Yao Wangmiao chanting gone, he took us to visit this small temple, and let us arbitrarily take photographs, this small temple murals are vivid, the story mainly in Tantric paintings mainly talking about yes master Padmasambhava into eight incarnation of the story down to earth. He is longing for the outside world, I heard that we have from Guangzhou in the past, and asked how long we have gone, and we told him to sit a day of an airplane, he shyly smiled, and said that far. He feels that he is unable to have a look at my entire life, because he did not so much funding. When we came away, gave him a little money, so that he need to buy some things that he did not close, in our persuasion, he was closed down.
Longwangmiao out along the lake slowly out of the park. Later, after we read the park when it is found that in fact there are many wonderful places where we did not go to that, regret not having read them carefully. Tan said that along the Dragon King and the Potala Palace, there is a path between the repair, around the Potala Palace, a week, on-street covered with turning cylinders and murals, Mani stone, very fun.
Fat boy on his left, they left us tickets Jokhang Temple, Jokhang Temple and tickets can be used repeatedly, I decided to use pigs to visit a good look at this last half-day, straight riding tricycles on the Jokhang Temple. Jokhang Temple entrance there are still many positive knock the head of the Tibetans and other body length, they said need to knock on the 10000 long head of the purpose of completing the task, knock long head is needed before a certain degree of physical strength and endurance to complete the work, which not help reminds me of the way we go to Nyingchi and from Nyingchi encountered during a return trip back to Lhasa, several knock long head of the Tibetans, when we were deeply shocked them, I strongly feel the power of religion has permeated the Each person's soul and real life sitting in front of watching these pious people, Manasarovar. Into the hall, as I said earlier, on the second floor of the Buddha Hall and the first floor of many small hall are also locked up and not allowed to visit and worship, visitors are not many, only a few foreigners during a visit, very clean. In the main worship Buddha halls, LEEN met craftsman gold powder is to Sakyamuni, our luck is really good, and this is a rare thing, the Buddha wearing a total of 13 sets of clothes, these 13 sets of clothes and gorgeous Jing Gui, colors, mostly yellow silk mainly a variety of gem-studded above. The lama temple gives us 13 sets of clothes from the innermost set of clothes, cut a small piece of cloth, to give us. I am out of the hall and down the river and boarded a golden dome, from the golden dome overlooking the Barkhor, and overlooking the Potala Palace, incomparable beauty.
Tibet, tomorrow we will leave, this time to Tibet, has too many feelings, there are some regrets, do not know when to come back, once again return to this piece of pure land, thought of here as much as a trace of sadness at heart. This is the last day in Tibet.
October 10 clear Lhasa - Chengdu - Shenzhen, sat 6:30 am air shuttle, straight Gonggar Airport, and to our situation is different, this time everything is still shrouded in darkness. Luck comes into our heads again, as three flights and became a flight, we are 10:20 plane, quasi-point take-off, but later down the river in Chengdu airport, listening to a friend, said 20 minutes later than we 10:40 The flight has been delayed to 16:00. This aircraft within three days late, and only is punctuality of our flights took off. Sitting on the plane, looking out the window wide and clear of the Brahmaputra, sea of clouds in the peaks, as well as cascading sea of clouds, I know that my trip to Tibet is really over.
Reminds me of the East Asia of a "yearning Eagle" in Tibet often hear a song, let me help being moved. A few of them remember the lyrics, "overlooking the outside world, not stop tears, fathers still echo the footsteps of worship, I have bid farewell to yesterday and found the light of life." At this point, mind if he returned to to drift on the plateau.
At noon arrived at Chengdu airport, pigs friends to us buying is 18:00 o'clock airfare at the airport a daze more than five hours, and finally, and pigs, respectively, and she flew in Guangzhou, I can fly to Shenzhen. The Tibet spent a total of 13 days time, and the pigs from morning till evening for 13 days, it was found difficult parting is true. And down the river and shook hands, embraced a moment on her own luggage embarked on their journey home, finally in the 21:00 o'clock back to a warm home.
Postscript:
This has finally finished its travels, this did not want to write so, but the front of the computer re-take the journey, the more to write longer, for a long time neither written such a long article, and okay, but left to themselves to be a commemoration, there is no pressure, so your fingers and tap on the keyboard with the thoughts, all of the text also appear natural, and regardless of whether the writing is smooth. Opening album, looking at his photos of the photos, although they are still a lack of standards, but each photo represents the beauty and I've seen had moved.
Came back from Tibet, many friends and colleagues as I went to Tibet to a big increase envy, of course, some people thought I was crazy. But I believe that all people of Tibet will be touched by the kind of beautiful, where everyone could give rise to have been hidden in the depths of our hearts and even do not know his past a certain emotional resonance, where everyone are equal, because I believe that there were spirits in Tibet, in front of the gods, everyone is equal. In Tibet, the spiritual power is so great a respect for the spirit of the place, and I think this is a backpacker again and again come to the Tibetan cause bar. I strongly feel the power of religion has penetrated into each person's soul and real life. Whether it went where, in the wilderness or in the backcountry can be seen traces of religion, pagodas, temples, sutra streamers and Mani Dui, as well as the way that people kowtowing to worship, it is these pilgrims piety and amazing perseverance to Tibet has been floating around the sky, kept trained on the Millennium billowing smoke wisp of religion, and constitutes the entire Tibetan people's unique landscape and art. Into Tibet, you will be more to her yearning to experience once again the face of the gods when the share of honest and surging, Tibet, and still is my dream.
