Product Description
Tibet, "Roof of the World", has remained isolated from the outside world, a land of fascination and mystery for travelers. It was only in the mid-1980s that foreign tourists were official allowed into Tibet by the new Chinese overlords. I traveled there in 2000, with a small group of adventure travelers. Our first stop was Lhasa, which is the heart and soul of Tibet and is at an altitude of 12,000 feet.
While in Lhasa, we visited some of the most sacred places for the Tibetans. The Potala Palace, perched high above Lhasa is a place of spiritual pilgrimage and the cultural heart of Tibetan Buddhism. was founded in the 7th Century and has been the home to all of Tibet's Dalai Lamas (Oceans of Wisdom), and their remains contained in silver and gold chortens can still be seen in the Potala. We saw some of the 1,000 rooms, and 200,000 statues. I also saw and filmed some Potala workers who chanted out a song while crushing some red rock paving stones.
The Jokhang is the most sacred religious location where you see pilgrims from all over Tibet with their yak butter lamps in hand to prostrate themselves before this sacred shrine.
The Drepung Monastery is about three miles from Lhasa. Before the Chinese invasion in the 1950s, Drepung Monastery was a monastic university, which once housed 10,000 monks, with its colleges teaching different aspects of Buddhism. Today, the Chinese allow just 600 monks to live there, and you can still see some of the foundations of the buildings that were destroyed by the Chinese.
Our visit to Norbulinka, the Dalai Lama's former Summer Palace, featured some traveling musicians.
Our old mountain washed out road to Gyantse, passed over Karo La Pass at 16,550 feet past the Yamdrok Yamtso Lake, where we encountered yaks, herders and nomads. We visited villagers in their adobe farmhouses with elaborately painted interiors as well as nomads with their sturdy and portable yurts (felt tents). At Gyantse we visited one of the best-preserved Tibetan market towns as well as visiting the Kumbum, which contains some of the most beautiful murals that is now unique in the Buddhist world.
In Shigatse, we visited the Tashilhunpo Monastery, which was constructed in 1447 by the first Dalai Lama. It is now the home of the Panchen Lama, who is the Dalai Lama that the Chinese replaced. The Dalai Llama that fled to India and is now in exile is the one that Westerners are most familiar with. While we were there, the monks were holding a fall festival with Llama dances culminating in a purging of the evil spirits from the Monastery symbolized by the lighting of a fire just outside the Monastery gates.
The following day we drove along the Friendship Highway to Tsedang where we passed snow capped mountains, wild gorges cut by the Brahmaputra River.
