Maybe it's for the majestic and beautiful peaks, maybe it's for clinging to the pure faith in Tibet, maybe it's for asking and listening to another life, maybe it's just for looking for a pure peace.
Although everyone has different reasons, Tibet, the closest place to heaven, always has fatal attraction to people.
After I have been to Tibet many times, I began to learn more about history from the magnificent scenery and persistent beliefs.
Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? In the royal hall of Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet, beside the statue of Gambu, there are statues of two important officials besides his two famous concubines, one of whom is named Tumi Sambuza.
Who can have such honor? Follow my camera and meet Tommy Sambuza.
Tommy Sambuza was born in Nimu County, Tibet in the 7th century. Maybe you haven't heard of Nimu, which belongs to a county in Lhasa, 0/47 km away from Lhasa/Kloc-,and is located in south-central Tibet, on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River.
Stroll in Tunba Village, Tunba Township, Nimu County, where the scenery is beautiful and the ancient trees are towering. Although it is very cold in winter, I can imagine why many friends in Lhasa will go to Nimu to cross Karin in the spring.
The river in Tunba Village is full of dried cow dung, shaped like whole wheat bread. Cow dung is not smelly, but it is a treasure in the eyes of Tibetan compatriots.
Nimu has three unique skills: Nimu Tibetan incense, Shiraz Tibetan paper and Matsuura woodcut.
In Tunba Township, there are many manual workshops to make Nimu Tibetan incense, which is the essence of Tibetan traditional culture, and its production method has lasted for more than 1000 years.
Tumi Sambuza was born here, an early linguist and translator in Tibetan society, the creator of Tibetan language and the inventor of Tibetan incense.
Tommy Sambuza, his name, together with his immortal achievements, went down in history and was admired by later generations.
Nimu has a former residence of Tunmi Sambuza, which is rarely visited by tourists. This two-story hut was built 1300 years ago in the Tubo Gambo era.
It is not easy to preserve it so completely so far.
There are many irregular stones on the wall at the door, on which are written large colored Tibetan. There is no Amitabha in South China.
Entering the former residence of Tumisanbuza, there is a small inner courtyard.
Imagine the owner of the house, did you stand at the door, looking at the wall, looking at the sky, looking at the mountain, thinking about the ingredients of Nimu Zangxiang?
The first floor of the former residence is dimly lit and consists of a stable, a utility room and a servant room.
As an old wooden staircase went up to the second floor, it suddenly became clear and there was a square sky.
On the wall in the corner, there are two colorful murals, and the colors are still bright.
A room on the second floor is where Tunmi Sambuza once lived.
At the age of fifteen, he was ordered by King Gambu of Tibet to bid farewell to Lhasa and go to Tianzhu to study ancient Sanskrit and Tianzhu characters. Respect Buddha and study Buddha. After seven years of hard work, I have studied Sanskrit, grammar, poetics and Buddhist scriptures.
He returned to Lhasa safely in 64 1 and then came back here.
With his back to the window, there is a statue of Tunmi Sambuza, covered with white Hada. On the table in front of him, there is the Tibetan language he invented.
The existence of characters is a guarantee for the long-term continuation of cultural traditions. The existence of writing makes people see the past of the Tibetan people.
With the development of writing, Tibetan culture has taken root, flourished and achieved fruitful results.
With the continuous emergence of works and translations recorded in Tibetan, Tibetan history has entered a brand-new stage of civilization.
Tommi Sambuza not only made great achievements in linguistics, philology and law, but also was a great translator.
He translated more than 20 Sanskrit classics, such as the Twenty-one Secret Sutra, which is a precedent for the translation of Buddhist scriptures in Tibet.
The darkroom above is Tommy Sambuza's kitchen. Because there is no ventilation system, the roof is smoked like this.
Walking out of the former residence of Sambuza, which swallowed rice, brought me a lot of thoughts. The wheel of history rolled forward, a few years later. Some people are forgotten, others are remembered.
