If you are feeling lost in your life, make
a spiritual tour to Tibet
and find yourself, find your dream, find your life. A Saga
Dawa Festival Tour, the top Tibet Pilgrimage Tour in 2013, is highly
recommended.
In my high school, a friend told me that
Lhasa was a must-visit place in his life and that it should be his last trip in
his life. However, he travelled to Tibet after he was graduated from university
for he felt lost in the competition of society. He said it was an amazing tour
changing his life. When he saw how the devout Tibetan pilgrims kept faith to
their belief no matter how hard it was, he realized that he must keep faith to
his dream.
It is best to travel to Tibet during Saga Dawa
Festival which is the best time to observe Tibetan pilgrims. The Saga Dawa
Festival is the most significant event of the year for Tibetan Buddhists as
three of the most essential events in Buddha’s life (birth, enlightenment and
passing into Parinirvana) took place on the full moon day of the 4th lunar
month in Tibetan calendar.
This month is regarded as the holiest time
of the year. It is also known as ‘bum gyur dawa’ in Tibetan, meaning (the month
which multiplies by 100000 whatever wholesome or unwholesome action is
performed during this month has a 100000 times stronger effect than at other
times). Therefore, thousands of Tibetans make a Lhasa tour to do ritual
walks and ceremonies during the Saga Dawa Festival.
During the whole month Buddhists have
celebrations and pay homage for Buddha Shakyamuni. Most auspicious ceremonies
are also held in Holy Mountain Kailash region in Tibet as it’s believed that on
Saga Dawa day Buddha Shakyamuni is coming from the heaven to the top of Kailash
and people get blessed. People put auspicious huge prayer flag known as Darpo
Che performing religious ceremonies.
The Saga Dawa Festival in 2013 will fall on
May 25th. Since there is lots of preparation work for a Tibet tour, it is time for
you to get started now, applying for Chinese Visa and then Tibet
Permits, booking air/train tickets, hotels, etc.
As too many travelers and pilgrims travel
to Lhasa during the Saga Dawa Festival, the hotels and air/train tickets are in
great demand. In addition, taking Tibet train to Lhasa is a
popular way to Tibet. It usually takes two days to Lhasa from mainland China,
so soft sleeper berth is at greatest demand. Early booking is highly
recommended.
As for the permits, if you just want to
make a Lhasa tour, a Tibet entry permit is enough, but if you want to make a
Kailash tour, Alien’s travel permit and military permit are also needed except
the Tibet entry permit. Actually, it is not necessary to worry about the Tibet
permits as the policy on Tibet
travel permit 2013 makes it is quite easy for foreigners to get Tibet
permits.
