August 8, straight Gong Ti Temple, burial.
Get up at 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock start. We all trapped, but are afraid to sleep because of the constant yawning master spot. Sitting in the front row and kill finally broke silence and began looking for, then chatted with the teacher spots, scattered his attention. Chatting chatting, we Tibetans burial methods have probably understood.
Tibetans are celestial burial, Shuizang, tower funeral, burial in four ways. Burial is the burial tower Lama. Shuizang is buried aborted children. Tibetan burial is the most contemptible way. Sky burial is a Tibetan that the most noble way. But the sweep, the begging, the butcher, as well as children can not burial. Tian Zangshi engaged in the most sacred work, but low status. Not work with ordinary people at the same table to eat, drink. Generally live alone in a place away from the crowd. But they earn a high income. 5,6 Tian Zangshi can simultaneously deal with corpses. Jenna, Jenna, Jenna. Dot described the side of the hands of the master side of the virtual grip is like a knife, volley bar, bar, bar. Attracted to the entire vehicle laughter, much less trapped Jin again.
Straight Gong Ti is the world's two Tianzang Tai Tianzang Tai Temple, is one of the largest Tianzang Tai, in the Tibetan heart, high status, many Tibetans travel long distances to the dead brought to burial. Therefore, in addition to the Tibetan calendar every 8, and Saturdays and Sundays, other days are generally carried out burial.
But on the start winding, steep, narrow mountain road, swerved, no slow spots master. Fortunately, dark, watching the situation outside is not clear, let our hearts eventually did not spring forth.
Finally to a straight Gong Ti Temple, less than 8 points. The temple is not parked on the dead, bad omen. Spot consoled us, perhaps one would have delivered up the dead.
Cold, sat in the temple kitchen and so on, and another tour to chat with people on board. Half an hour later, two bodies brought up before, and a stretch out, a twist, was wrapped in Yanyanshishi white Hada, and placed in the courtyard.
The first approach things, III, 40 monks Yiqiang sitting around in the courtyard, chanting. Families dedicated to the barley noodles and other items, the proffered a thick stack of denominations ranging from money, charge of things Lama, the money distributed by the monks who Mindfulness.
In the spot to remind masters, we exit early to begin next Tianzang Tai mountain climbing. We, therefore, the escape of 25 yuan / person for tickets. Because of hunger, and take delivery prior to the relatives of the deceased up to the point of meat and bread to eat. Hey, is not it sounds a little frightening? ! Taste, but oh well.
Tianzang Tai near the peak of a flat, the scenery special good. Surrounded by green hills in front is a broad valley, valley stream gurgling, Yan Yan, the slopes green grass, flowers and little by fan, Baita accounted for Banbi hill. Distance of high slope, littered with dozens of vultures.
Tian Zangtai are fenced, is said to be anti-dog, the vulture devouring, there will be dogs up snatch. Tian Zangtai the middle of a diameter of about 6 meters from the blue gray cobblestone paved areas is Tianzang Chang had.
10 points or so, a dead body up, and the first three times clockwise Rao Tianzang Chang, and then placed in the middle. Ignited smoke came, after hearing from vulture, gray Dodo 1, accounting for our side of the small hill next to. Tian Zangshi dress ready to start. An old monk in the corner of the beat of the human skin bones, blown human bone Fahao, chanting, practices, release souls from purgatory souls.
4 Tianzang Shi-hand with a knife in one hand and hook into the Tianzang Chang ... ... (to respect the dead, here omitted a number of words)
Although the first time to see the dead, first time a human being becomes mutilated, but from start to finish without fear and uncomfortable feelings, his attitude is very calm, we see only the Tibetan people's life is a sacred process. Very much like the clean die, with no sediment left behind, soul and body together to heaven. Really good.
With respectful feeling down and started to go to Germany Chung Temple Spa, a hot springs bubble Tibetans themselves.
After a very long period of bumps along the rough gravel road, after being in the mountains, we finally see the people, and this is Dezhong, is not a nun to spiritual place, because there is a very good spring, now has a hotel and restaurants. Because there are hot springs, where the vegetation and the outside obviously different in the mountains there are trees.
We simply eat lunch, impatient toward the hot springs. (In which spa stay free of charge, pure hot spring 5 yuan / person). This is a natural hot spring ah. A body of water surrounded by a giant boulder up and down two small Lake, the men and women under the previous (- ah !!!!), Tandi is also unfair to stone, open-air, stone with moss still a long, hot spring water to take Gulp out, turned over the bubbles, but also flows unimpeded away, clear-shiny. Tanbian erected a wooden shed, playing a bit wooden lattice, you can put clothes, people changing clothes in here, Oh, is that the road ahead, a distance that is residential, ladies changing clothes Oh, you had better take-point strategy.
Water temperature 40 degrees, even in the cool of Tibet, this temperature is somewhat hot, coupled with lack of oxygen, bubble a bubble everyone's felt a little bit of oxygen and inadequate. So bubbles for a while, will come out dry, Oh, bubbles with heat, out cold, toss ah.
However bubble for half an hour, out of posterity collapse not, carrying a backpack struggled to climb a vertical elevation difference less than 20 meters staircases, very tired. A plateau more than 4,000 hot springs, can not be underestimated ah.
Back to Lhasa, from morning till evening for a few days with our partners in farewell, went straight to bus station. Really not want to go ah, but we leave our leadership to our sense of responsibility, but let us leave.
We will come back, we need to go to Shigatse, Everest, Ali, transfer Kamiyama, walking the beautiful Sichuan-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet Highway, Xinjiang-Tibet road hard. . . . . . . .
Hasty farewell, Lhasa, Tibet.
