A must-see tourist attraction in Tibet. What's interesting about Tibet?

Before I came to Tibet, I heard that many people could not adapt to the plateau climate here, mainly because the altitude was too high. In addition to the beautiful sky here, it still can't stop people's yearning for this road. People keep coming to visit just to see the beautiful scenery here.

But I'm different. When I decided to work in Tibet, my heart was full of rejection. Even at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, you can't breathe when you are still. No green, no comfortable living environment, no lover. The only thing here is the superior treatment and opportunities compared with my hometown. And the "nothingness" of all this makes the people and things I see in Tibet boring. People who have been to Tibet should know that there are still many Tibetans here who are not sinicized. Their clothes make people feel dirty, and their smell makes people unwilling to get close. People who urinate everywhere and wild yaks and Tibetan sheep can be seen everywhere. The most worrying thing when walking on the road is that you will accidentally step on an unknown object, either soft or hard. In such an environment and mentality, I want to escape in frustration more than once.

It was a little Tibetan girl who changed my attitude.

My company has a big yard with a well, a well. Due to geographical restrictions, many residents in Tibetan areas have no running water at home, so many Tibetans come and go in the company every day, carrying large and small buckets and drawing water from wells in the yard. Sometimes children come with adults,

They are in groups of three and five, holding beverage bottles and mineral water bottles. After eating, they play around the yard unscrupulously, and the adults go back together after drinking water. Nothing at first, but because of boredom, I really don't like these Tibetans and those dirty children, especially a little girl. About 9 years old, with two younger brothers, all dressed in dirty school uniforms, and their noses still remain on their faces, which has an unspeakable taste. Sometimes they walk into the office, stand next to you, watch you play with your mobile phone and computer, take whatever you want, use the office as a playground, talk loudly, be fearless and do whatever you want, which is rude. I always keep a straight face when I face them, and they don't even dare to talk to me. Only my colleague, Brother Pang, likes them, plays with them and buys them snacks. I can't understand him, but it's none of my business. I couldn't help losing my temper with them several times, but fortunately I didn't. Fortunately, I didn't.

The air was particularly good and the sky was particularly blue that day. I smiled and walked all the way to the company. As usual, the little girl took her two younger brothers and mother to fetch water, but unlike usual, they were all wearing national costumes that day, their hair was curled up and the traces of snot on their faces disappeared. I was surprised at their clean appearance. Maybe because Brother Pang is away, the little girl came to talk to me. She chatted with me in that Tibetan Mandarin and asked me to hand him a painting. I looked at her clean and childish face and tender paintings, and suddenly felt that I was a heinous sinner and was being baptized by the Buddha. This makes me feel that this painting is more valuable than asking Fat Brother to receive a banner. It also made me feel ashamed of my previous attitude. This is a pure love without a trace of secularity.

Suddenly I feel that my previous state is too bad. What I see is beautiful and sacred in itself, but it becomes so inconspicuous through my eyes. I began to re-examine myself and Tibet in my eyes. I found that I missed a lot of things, its generosity, its sacredness. I am eager to bring this baptism to myself as a believer.

People in Tibet are more or less influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. Tibet is the residence of the Buddha. Here, I have heard many things that make me feel incredible, and I have seen many things that make me dumbfounded. The most is pilgrimage. Worship seems to have become the daily life of those believers. I have seen them in temples, streets and even expressway. Around Jokhang Temple and Potala Palace Square, there are devout believers everywhere. They will worship around Jokhang Temple and Potala Palace, and make a real three-step bow and bow down. Even the winners will kowtow all the way from Qamdo, or Shigatse, or even an unknown town, not far from Wan Li, and make a pilgrimage to Lhasa, Jokhang Temple and Potala Palace step by step. I don't know what is supporting them, how many difficulties and obstacles are waiting for them, and how they have survived the hardships along the way. I can't even imagine how powerful the belief that goes deep into the bone marrow is, which can make Tibetans have such a powerful spiritual world, for nothing but the belief in their hearts. Such piety deeply infected me. No matter how poor, dirty and poorly educated they are, I think they are better than me.

Worship of Jokhang Temple

In Lhasa, Tibet, there are many places that make you linger. Walking in the streets of Lhasa, there are shops decorated in Buddhist style everywhere, whether they sell hardware or clothes, or drink buttered tea and eat Ciba. Most of the shops broadcast Buddhist scriptures that I don't understand, and the whole street smells of buttered tea mixed with Tibetan incense, which is the characteristic of Lhasa street. Without Tibet, no city would feel this way, except for reinforced concrete, where there is traffic everywhere. It's just that here, there are different styles of pavements, different music, tinkling bells left by the tricycle of the Tibetan brother, plus the blue sky and tourists from different countries around, everything is so fresh and full of vitality.

At the Jokhang Temple in Potala Palace, the closest place to the sky, you breathe the most smog-free air. No matter what troubles you have, go for a walk, turn around, mix with the crowd, follow them, think nothing, listen to chanting and bask in the sun, and your troubles will really not be troubles. This is the charm of Tibet. Tens of thousands of people come here every day to turn their menstruation. They are either tourists with backpacks and cameras in their hands and speaking a language you don't understand, or believers with beads in one hand and prayer wheels in the other, chanting Buddhist scriptures in their mouths. Here, everyone is equal, no matter high or low, no matter rich or poor, all believers are being baptized.

Prayer wheel

Come to Tibet once. Although this is a platform period, it will put your body to a severe test. Although it is sometimes desolate and uninhabited for dozens of miles, there are straight roads leading to the horizon, and the blue sky and white clouds seem within reach. Manidui, prayer flags, Gangrenboqi and countless mysteries are waiting for you. This is the charm of the roof of the world.
