The end of June and the beginning of July are traditional festivals in Tibet every year. Where is Snowdon Festival? Xuedun Festival is a traditional religious festival for Tibetan people in Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan and other provinces. Most of them are held in early February, mid-April or mid-June of the Tibetan calendar, and the specific dates vary from place to place. The origin of the Xuedun Festival The Xuedun Festival originated in the middle of 1 1 century, when it was a purely religious activity. According to folklore, there are more than 300 Buddhist commandments, and killing is the most taboo. In summer, the weather gets warmer, plants grow, insects are frightened and everything recovers. During this period, when monks go out, it is inevitable to trample on life and violate the commandment of "not killing". Therefore, it is stipulated in the precepts of the Gelug Sect that from April to June in the Tibetan calendar, lamas can only stay in monasteries and retreat behind closed doors, which is called "elegant music", which means "staying in summer" and can not be lifted until the end of June. As soon as the ban was lifted, the monks went out of the temple and went down the mountain. In order to entertain monks, ordinary people prepare yogurt, hold picnics for them, and perform Tibetan operas at celebrations. This is the origin of the Snowdon Festival. What are the activities of the Snow Festival? Tibet Snow Festival 1: Sun Buddha is the most important activity. People came from all directions before dawn to participate in the first activity of the opening ceremony of the Sutton Festival-the Sun Buddha. During the activity, a giant Buddha statue of Sakyamuni woven from hundreds of square meters of colored silk will be slowly unfolded. During the period, some lamas drum their cheeks to help blow the heavy and huge trumpet, while others sit on the floor and pray devoutly, hoping that the world will be beautiful and people will be safe and happy. As soon as the time for the exhibition of the Buddha statue arrived, dozens of lamas quickly unfolded the silk-woven Qiangba Buddha statue in the dull sound of the French horn. In an instant, thousands of rays of sunshine filled the Buddha statue. Tens of thousands of people around the Buddha statue put their hands together, prostrating themselves in worship, and at the same time, with pious hearts, silently prayed and solemnly presented white Hada to the unfolded Buddha statue, as if reaching the realm of "harmony between man and nature". This will definitely infect tourists who come to worship Buddha. Tibet Snow Festival Activity 2: If you want to see Tibetan opera, Shan Zhi personally thinks the best place is the grand stage of Norbulingka. During the Snow Festival, there are wonderful Tibetan opera performances every day, from Qurogesan, Zhuowasan and Langsawimba to Wisdom and Beauty, Dunyu Dunzhu and Baimawamba ... In addition, there are Tibetan opera performances in Zongjiao Lu Kang Park behind Potala Palace, which is no different from Norbulingka's Tibetan opera. And because there are many grasslands, Zongjiao Lu Kang Park has become one of the important places for Karin to watch Tibetan operas. Relatively quiet places are suitable for people who like quiet.
