The complex and exciting line to the Samye monastery

The Samye monastery not only has the high position in the Vajrayana Buddhist, but also it is known as the whole world. It is said that the Qing dynasty government had ever built a temple which is like the Samye monastery. You can see that the Samye monastery is pretty famous. And the road for the general tourists is difficult to go, not to speak of the foreign friends. Well, follow me; know more about the Samye monastery and the line from the Lhasa to the Samye monastery.

Samye monastery locates in the north of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the foot of the holy mountain. It is difficult to get there, you must spend some energy.

 Firstly, you should get the Lhasa by the Qinghai-Tibet railway. And have a rest in the Lhasa; you must ready the whole day to have the Samye monastery journey in your China and Tibet travel. Take the bus from the Lhasa or the Tsedang to the ferry crossing of the Samye. If you set out from the Lhasa, It will take you 24 Yuan; also you will spend two to three hours to get the terminating station. Well, if you set out from the Tsedang, it will take you one hour to get there, and the spending is 7 Yuan. And then you will see the door named—the Samye beauty spot. You should get in the door and get the ferry crossing to take the boat. Sometimes, there are some people who are in the door and sell the ticket of the Samye monastery spot, you can regardless them. Surely, you would better go with the crowed and the located people. It will take one hour from the ferry crossing to the Samye monastery. And the ticket is decided by the number of the passenger, you will spend three to ten Yuan. Try to discuss with the boatman in private, maybe you can spend less money. Surely, if you are urgent to cross the river, you can charter boat. And the price is always same in the several years, one path for three hundred and eighty Yuan. And although the boat is simple and crude, it is seed enough. And it can have a capacity of sixty peoples. And after the boat, there is the vehicle which is willing to receive the people to the Samye monastery; it will spend you five Yuan. And the bus is comfortable and convenient. I think it will be well with the train travel from Chengdu to Lhasa, and better than the travel to Everest base camp. Although the road is terrible, the wind is strong, there is a lot of sand, but you will be exciting when you are in bus. The road, the view, the partner, all of the scene will be the memorable view in your journey.

The monastery is common in the Tibet, but the Samye monastery is unique and special in the several temples. You will spend a special time in the quiet temple, the birds, the flower, the bell tone, and the magnificent building. The entire things of the Samye monastery are mysterious, and it is pretty dark in the Samye monastery, you should take the flashlight and the special phenomenon will make you feel comfortable, and make your heart quiet. At that time, you will forget the long distance line. Although it is so tired for you to come to the Samye monastery, you will smile and said to every one: “it is pretty worth, when I set foot on the holy land of the Samye monastery, which is enough for me!”

The five unique skills to deal with the beggar of the Lhasa

  There are so many interesting and special things in the Tibet; you must have witnessed the view on the Lhasa to Kathmandu travel that so many beggars ask for the money in the street. So what you should do when you get this situation? How can you deal with them?  The answer is the following!

The most interesting of the Lhasa’s beggar is that it is ok that you give him one Yuan and ask for ninety cents.

Nowadays Lhasa, except the many tourists, there are so many beggar. Especially in the square of the Jokhang temple; there are a lot of the beggar come together in crowds; and the method also each showing his special prowess, make the people who come to the Lhasa firstly lost his or her head. Just think about that, if there is a little child throws himself on your leg; you can not move, can not beat him; also it is no use to abuse him; how embarrassed it is!

Now aim at the problems about how to treat the beggar of the Lhasa, I will tell you some methods, and you can have some preparations when you meet them.




The first unique skill: draw out some changes

It is necessary; you can give some changes to dispose of the matter when you indeed can not get rid of them (such as the situation which I have talked above—you have been clasped the leg by the child). In addition, when you meet the real pilgrims who have the innumerable trials and hardships to get the Lhasa but have no eat; if you are willing, you can give them some changes.

But it is should be paid attention to is that there can not use the coin, so they will do not accept your coin in the trade, estimate that the beggar will refuse the coin what you give.

The second unique skill: the beggars who dress up as the Lama are most fakes.

A Lhasa’s friend tell me that all the Lamas of the temple who also get the treat as the civil servant, moreover, there are lots of the Buddhism believers enshrine and worship; the real Lama mainly need not to get out to beg along the street. The reason why they disguise themselves as the appearance of the Lama, mainly it is for the convenience of beg; make the use of the good opinion about the people to the Lama.

So if you meet these beggars, just go away and do not heed them.

The third of the unique skill: do not said “I have no changes” to the beggars.

    The Tibet is the minority nationality regions, you should be careful when you talk. I came across a situation like this: on one occasion, I and my two friends had the meal in the noodle restaurant, and there was a beggar who disguised himself as the Lama came in the restaurant and asked for the money; I spoke without thinking that “you are the fake Lama”. And then I made that people anxious, indignant and disturbed, pointed at me and said “whereby you speak I am a fake Lama?”, and by the time, he fished out the so-called evidence from the bosom. The sideways Tibet woman looked about this and immediately fish out one yuan to that person, and then sent him out. Afterwards she instructed us that “there is the minority nationality regions, you should not speak like that.”

Consider also it is my fault, it is ok that do not want to give the money, but he surely will be angry about my words. Please the great master can learn a lesson from this.

On one occasion, there was Tibetan asked the money for me, I said that “I have no change”; it is out of my consideration that the Tibetan run after me and spoke that “I can make the change for you”. It made me felt both funny and annoying.

That is to see, if you do not want to give the money, just go away, and do not speak another words, so as to avoid the troublesome.

The fourth unique skill: ask the boss of the restaurant for help

The most unpleasant view in the lhasa is that when you have the delicious food in the restaurant, one and another dirty beggars come in, stand along your table and do not go away, it is really disgusting. You should remember that if you give the money to him or her, there are another people who will come in and ask for the money immediately, because they will send the words with each others.

At that time, you can attend to have no attention on him; you can go on with your meal. After one or two minutes when they know there is beyond the hope they will go away. The easiest method is to ask the boss of the restaurant. Generally, the shopkeeper will not be able to drive away the beggar initiatively, but if you ask for help initiatively; the boss will come to help you and persuade the beggar for some words, and then they will go away.

The fifth unique skill: learn a Tibetan “nothing”—Mindu 

When the people of the Lhasa meet the beggar, generally, they will give some to them in a few years ago. Nowadays, there are so many profession beggar, when you meet the beggar and do not want to give the money, you can speak in Tibetan—“Mindu Mindu”, it means “nothing”. The beggar will go away when they hear about that.

However for the Hans like us, they have their own methods. I remembered that one time, I said the “Mindu” to a beggar, he just attended to do not understand but ask a question in reply: “what is Mindu?” I almost laughed to die.

Well, you can control the general situation after you have handled above skills. If only the minority beggars in the Lhasa will not influence the enjoy mood in the Tibet.

It is same that is easy to dress up as a Lama.

He does not forget to shake the prayer wheel when he asks for the money.

The happiness holiday when the beggar drinks beery. The man who wears the cap takes the children; in general days, he asks for the money in the street, and when he gets the enough money, he will drink the beery. How cheerful he is!

Take you to find the line to the Gandan monastery

 The Tibet is a Buddhist holy land. And in the north of the Tibet travel line, some temples are necessary to go; some of them are the beginning point of the lhasa; some of them are the biggest Buddhist monastery in the whole world; some of the temples are the beginning of the Buddhist reincarnation. Among them, the Gandan monastery is the ancestor temple of the Dge-Lugs-Pa; it is one of the main Dge-Lugs-Pa; and it is called the three temples of the lhasa with the Drepung Monastery and the Sera Monastery. There are so many tourists fall in love with this special and unique temple when they have their Lhasa and Tibet travel. It is not only famous as its religion and office, but also the building is special and magnificent. It takes a great part in the Tibet building. And there are so many precious old clothe and embroidery. It attracts a lot of foreign tourists get there and have a look; such as the people who have the Tibet travel from Nepal.

Also, for the most of the people, the Tibet is strange. And how can they get to the Gandan monastery?

Just as it is known to us, the road of the Tibet is complex and there is plateau, so maybe it is steeper than the other place. However as the time pass by; also as the environment of the economy, it is convenient for the tourists to get in the Tibet for the travel. Surely, old established rules, you must arrive at the Lhasa at first, you can take the train from Xining to Lhasa, and also you can take the plane. But in my opinion, you would better get there by the train thus you can enjoy the beautiful view which is along the road by the way. And then you can have a rest in the Lhasa, go shopping in the Barkhor street, go sightseeing in the Potala Palace…well, we will begin the journey from the Lhasa in the morning, there are there ways you can get and back from the Lhasa to the Gandan monastery. But there is no the direct bus to get the door of the Gandan monastery; you must get some turn and ask for help. First of the way, you can get the Bus which is to the Bayi direction, and get down the bus when you arrive at the intersection which to the Gandan monastery, and then Stopping Traffic to get the Gandan monastery. Secondly, you can take the taxi in the Lhasa, and you will spend less than one hundred Yuan from the Lhasa to the Gandan monastery. Finally, if you want to get the Nyingchi by the taxi, you can get the Gandan monastery on the road when you get to or return by the way. It is not only convenient and fast, but also economical and sparing.

You will surprise at the view which you will see, the building, the culture, the Buddha and the Lama, all of the scenes are charming and devout, and you will be attracted by that. The people assimilate the Tibet to the heaven, the reason of that is the Tibet is like a picture, a perfect garden of earthly delight; when you are in the train from shanghai to Tibet, you will think that the Tibet is like a landscape painting;

The temple is like a mysterious picture; you can not read and understand the moral of that. However you always want to get close to that. Let us go, get to the Gandan monastery and find the mysterious temple in the snow plateau.

Why do the Tibetans carry the wooden bowl in their bosom?

Just like the infatuation about you for the China and Tibet travel, the infatuation what the Tibetans cling to the well wooden bowl is just like the lover. The bowl is equal to the lover; you can image the importance of the custom of carrying bowl in the Tibet. Go out and carry with the bowl, it is not only for personal convenience, but also it is the social custom make that.

The wooden bowl of the Tibet is the dinnerware to eat Zanba, but also it is the tea set for the buttered tea and milky tea; what is more, it is the wine set for the barley wine. So the wooden bowl is very common life appliance in the Tibet. It has the good reputation of the “the country of the wooden bowl”. The bowl which product in the local area is colorful and bright, also the decorative pattern is interesting and novel; the appearance is handsome and attractive; it is welcome in the Tibet, and the Tibetans also have the special mood about that.

The wooden bowl of the Ali Champlain is the most famous specialty in the local. For the local people, the wooden is more rarity than the gold; they only use a wooden bowl in their life, and also carry the wooden bowl with them forever.

 

The custom of Tibetan carry bowl

In the Tibet, you can usually witness a Tibetan takes a wooden bowl to drink eat in their long Tibet robe. However, the beggars also like that, they use they wooden bowl which carry with them to ask for the money or hold the leftover. The wooden bowl can be said as their most precious cargo.


　　It is particular about the use of the wooden bowl. The rich families also drink the buttered tea in every meal; however the poor families just could go pass the life with the green tea. But no matter the rich man or the poor guy also uses the wooden bowl for drinking tea. Although there is the jade bowl or the china bowl, all of them show appreciation for the wooden bowl. They use the wooden bowl in the home and outdoors, always get together; the tourist who have the travel all over the world, but also carry the wooden bowl in their bosom, they exist together, and the wooden bowl will be not leave them. And the people who live in the house, the little wooden bowl has its special use in the home, and should be particular in the outside. Although the wooden bowl is small, the custom is rich.

There are two size wooden bowls on the Tibet tea table in the parlor of the Tibetans; the big one is father’s bowl; and the small one is mom’s one. Also because of the difference of the family financial situation, there are devote particular care to the same wooden bowl. In the general family, it is well that the each family member has one wooden bowl; however, for the wooden bowl of the rich family, there are some silver cover, and the silver is engrave the auspicious pattern. What is more, the entire wooden bowl engraves the silver carving; the waist of the bowl leave a part to let you understand the bowl is the woody. The up of the bowl is cover, the under of the bowl is the cushion of the bowl, all of them are silver. And the shape of the cover is like the turriform; the silver and the gold; also there is a red agate which is as the hand shank. The cushion is pretty unique, the shape is the blooming lotus with eight petals; each petal has an auspicious pattern; and the eight petals compose the traditional eight rich patterns. It is so beautiful and charming when they get together.  
       There are distinctions about the bowl of the parent. And there are two statements about that; look up to men and down on woman, also think those women are inferior to men. Generally think that it is to respect the father, and the position of the father is higher than the mother. Maybe this statement is root from Tibet history. The old Tibet code of the local government formulate: “the people are divided to the highest, middle and lowest grade, and the every grade is divided to the highest, middle and lowest rank.” So the Tibetans are divided to the three grades and nine ranks. Although occasionally a couple get the other home to drop around, the tea bowl which the host entertain for the woman guest must be smaller than the man, on the contrary, it will be thought to branch of etiquette.

　　Live the life in the ordinary days, the wooden bowl of the parent which gather up clearly always be put in the bowl buffet, and take out when it is needed; and put pack after using; and every one uses own orderly. And there is a word that “the couple should not use the bowl together, the father and son can not use the bowl together, and the brothers can not use the same bowl too”. If there is a child who is wet behind the ears come in the door and get the bowl to drink, he will be blamed by the mom: “you do like this, will be have the bad luck in the future.”

Also the couple’s mutual affection is embodied in the wooden bowl, if meet the husband to get out for a long journey, after the wife see the husband off, when she go back home to drink tea, firstly full up the husband’s bowl, and then full up her own. And after she drink the tea, spill the tea of the husband’s to the clear place; clean up the bowl and put up is well. And when the husband comes back, the wife will full of the hot tea, present the bowl respectfully with both hands, wash of the dust for the husband.

The children will live in a separate house after they grew up, and live their own life separately, but they will still use their own previous bowl when they get back to look after father and mother. The different is that when the son and daughter-in-law get back together, the son can still use him previous bowl, but the daughter has no bowl, the bowl which give to her is temporary, it is the china bowl which we use. And the son-in-law is same with the daughter-in-law, he get to the home of the parent-in-law also has his special wooden bowl, if the son-in-law adoption will make the horse of another color. He will be the master of the house in the future, must has his special wooden bowl.

And if the side of the wooden bowl appearance the breach, it will be thought not luck; it should be change the old to a new. After the appearance of the china bowl, the every family’s reserve bowl is the china bowl. And also if the china bowl appearance the breach, it will be thought infelicity; especially can not use it to treat the guest. And it taboos to use the bowl with breach to drink tea in the morning; if meet this situation by chance, the people will be not get out in all day to prevent the disaster.

The terrain of the Tibet is complex, and the northwest is higher and the southeast is low; the northwest is cold and the southeast is worm; the northwest is as the animal husbandry and the southeast is as the agriculture; the northwest use the furred robe to prevent the cold and the southeast use the Tibet wool to cover them. The character of the furred robe and Tibet wool is different, but the structure is heavy and the wristband is wild. It is convenient to wear, it is with the enough sunshine in the bright day; When it is hot, they can put off the sleeve to reveal arm and regulate the temperature; also they can ungird and get the cloth to sleep. The furred robe and the Tibet wool must use the waistband generally, and the man should get the lower hem up with the knee; and tie the waistband, the bosom is form the empty purse, it can put some carry-on things. If only they need get out, the obbligato things which in the bosom is the wooden bowl. The general wooden bowl has a small price for a good article, the common people can stand that, the most important reason is about the not common bowl custom.

The colorful people who live in here, if only the people who want to get out, they must carry a wooden bowl in their bosom. And the wooden bowl of the folk talking and singing artist is biggest—“it can get five pounds thermos bottle buttered tea”. When the folk artist get the place and make the acting, at the same time, they lay out the wooden bowl to ask for the award. At that time, the wooden bowl has another function—It can hold the money and the other things.
    Also the Buddhist use the wooden bowl, the shape of their wooden bowl is different; the people who are familiar with the temple life can see which temple of the wooden bowl host by the shape of the wooden bowl, and the wooden bowl is the sign of the temple. Among the wooden bowl of the Buddhist’s disciplinarian, they as well as not carry it in the bosom, also not put in the cover of the wooden bowl. But take it in the hand and play in the hands like a toy, make you feel dazzled. Whenever the law spiritual events, the disciplinarian keep the peace, the wooden bowl has its power symbolize, and the disciplinarian knock the people who do not observe the law, and they are all the more ready to obey.  

The bygone days Tibet local government’s high level officials carry the wooden bowl along the side; it is taken into the bowl cover. The general official hang it in the waist as the decorating, also the sign of the official level. The dinnerware of the general official is called “jia bu chi xue”. The “jia chi” is the small knife of the Hans; “xue bu” is the wooden bowl which is put in the cover. When the several dine together occasion, the gentry is unhesitatingly to extract the small knife to cut the yak and the sheep meat, and take the wooden bowl to get the buttered tea and “shi ba”, after the tea, the more than four level official can get a spoon butter rice. They take it carefully to the wooden bowl, and then use the silk to pack close, and carry back to home share with the wife and children as the treasure.

After the people pass away, the family members use the wooden bowl which is used during his or her lifetime to full of the buttered tea, and make it before the remains. And after the remains get celestial burial, in the “yi qi”, the family members and friends will go together to the river of the Lhasa to hold the restful rite. They make the wooden bowl which is used during the lifetime before the side, and full the tea. That means to wish him or her off. From that time, the bowl belongs to the celestial burial master. It is a kind rule of the customs in the burial: when bury a people, the wooden bowl of the death must belong to the burial master, and should not violate. If the family members want to make the wooden bowl of the death to be the souvenir, should spend the money from the burial master.

“Take the lover but be shy,

Leave the lover but be anxious.

If the lover is the wooden bowl,

How perfect if ensconce in the bosom.”

The grand Tan Buddha in the Drepung

The Drepung Shoton has already known as the people all over the world, it is a special day that make the common peoples communicate with the heaven. All the believers and tourists go and want to have a  look just for the magnificent Buddha although all of the watching time which is less than 30 minutes. So, what the details and process of the Tan Buddha.

The imporTance of the Shoton festival for the TibeTan is just like the spring festival. Well, speak strictly, the Shoton festival is the holiday for the person who are in Lhasa. It is funny, there are seven days for the holiday only in lhasa. However all of the TibeTans come to the diffirent temple and join in the royal Tan Buddha. And the Drepung Shoton is the most famous and magnificent among the various Tan Shoton festival. In my opinion, no matter you are ready to have your chengdu to Tibet travel, or in your trian from beijing to Tibet, you should go and be close to the god.

   Tan Buddha is holden in the from the end of the july to the beginning of the august. The TibeTan, the han, the foreign and the people who are form all over the wold, all of them go with each others toward the Drepung in the dark. The group of the believers are devout and wordless. Although in the dark, they also stedfast, and I believe if it is in the light day, they will complain about the road. Yeah, it is rugged and winding. Do you believe? The dark will fight all the difficulty. Ok, I will not refute if you say there is the god to bless the people. But the meanful things is always difficult, just like the route toon your travel to the Everest base camp. You will never find the surprising view after you overcame the problem. The road is filled with the smoke of burning cedar leaf, it well created a pious atmosphere. But also makes many people a cough. They alsocan not stop and catch theri breath, for pedestrians have crowded in a narrow mountain path, can only go forward, can't stop or retreat. Finally arrived will bask in the Buddha's that mountain, that is a base of stone mountains, and is sallow, stone is off-white. There are many stone engraved color scripture. See hillside leaned a half the size of a football stadium iron frame, that is used for Tan of the Buddha.

It is hard to find a place to witness the process of the Tan Buddha, and you will find some people asleep in the mountain when they are waiting for the Tan festival. and with the time pass by, there are more and more people in the mountain. When the time to seven o’clock, the preparation work before the Tan Buddha is started. There are thousands of people gather in the valley when the day become brightly. More and more people are gathered below in hob, it is very difficult to get there. They are waiting, and have the strength to speak, previously silence which is in the way is broken. People begin to speak, TibeTan, Chinese, English,although they mutually do not undersTand, but all the mood of them are the same. At that time, the atmosphere of it is like the common mass meeting in the mainland, , but no rostrum, also does not have the slogan. A high-pitched loudspeakers in the ring, it not broadcast revolutionary songs, but a people who speak TibeTan command. All of them are Waiting for the sun. It was only about seven o 'clock, the sun to about eight to across the mountains, and hit light this mountain. So you should get the trian from Xining to Lhasa earlier.

At first, the long team which is make the tarpaulin in the unfold Buddha to protect the Buddha. And when the Lama group appear, the Tan Buddha is started. The bugle ring out in the valley; it is loud; all of the people turn to find the origin of the sound. And then the shamen who are in red cloth lay down the rope and tie down the white notify; pull up slowly. At this time, the tourists are excited; and then exclaim—“wow, I got it” “look, it appeared”… the magnificent Buddha slowly come out. From the bosom to the neck, the mouthe, the eyes, the forehead… finally, all the Buddha get out. And when the Buddha apear absolutely, the sun raised up in the east of the Lhasa. Not only all of the mountain is with shine, but also all of the Tibet become glory. The process is short, but with shaky feel. There is no another procedure and operate perfectly.

After the Buddha fully expanded, people come up toward the Buddha, they offer the hada, the coins; these things pile up around the Buddha just for a while. The monks along the edges, and get these to cast to the Buddha. People use a head to arch, with the hand to touch. All of them are happiness and devout , and they do not want to leave for a long time, they just stare at the Buddha and the people who are close to the Buddha. The sun shine is full of them, they look like so peaceful. There are numerous road leads to the Drepung, this fenceless temple is one of the greatest monasteries in the Tibet.

Under the sunshine and the Buddha light, you all eliminate the distracting thoughts which puzzle all the time. Believe in me, it is not a journey for your Nepal and Tibet travel, but a baptism for your heart. The last but not the least, this grand pageant is solemn and devout, you also should be a kind-hearted people.
