Over the mountains and over the water stupa, not to repair the afterlife?
Just to meet you on the road.
-Cangyang Jiacuo
Tibet, this mysterious place. I can never tell exactly what attracts me. Maybe it's the pure blue sky, maybe it's because of pious beliefs, sentimental poems and natural purity. Maybe there are relatives I miss there.
That day, I watched the movie Gangrinboqi with curiosity and mystery, which is a drama film shot by documentary. The film tells the story of 1 1 ordinary Tibetans walking 1 year, starting from Mangkang, kowtowing for 2,500 kilometers, and making a pilgrimage to Rinpoche, the sacred mountain.
Every kowtowing scene in the movie will still be filled with tears and shocked in retrospect.
Put your hands crossed above your head, stay at your throat, put your chest down, then kneel on your knees, throw yourself on the ground, cross your hands, get up … Repeat the same action every day.
In this film, I saw the sincerity, simplicity and kindness of Tibetans. They have great love in their hearts and pray and kowtow for the peace and joy of all beings in the world. And passion for strangers and trust in human nature.
A small pilgrimage team explains the multiple meanings of life.
They experienced birth, illness, death and death in the process of pilgrimage, just like a microcosm of life. Devout faith is their only spiritual pillar. It is their daily routine to climb mountains, kowtow, take pains to set up tents, and say prayers before going to bed.
In this world, it is often the small moves in life that can make people cry. The old man walked in front of the team with a prayer wheel in his hand. He is a spiritual teacher, a guide and an old man who answers the puzzles of young people. The butcher will make way for a passing ant, as well as a woman who is about to give birth and an innocent nine-year-old girl who will keep kowtowing despite her illness.
Since we have chosen a distant place, we are doomed to share joys and sorrows.
On the pilgrimage, every step they take is a causal cycle. You can't miss a step or take too many steps. In short, every step should be practical.
On a snowy day, even though snowflakes came at them like sharp knives, they still resolutely moved on.
When they met the puddle, they didn't choose a detour, but continued to kowtow in the muddy puddle. Dirty soil can soak their clothes, but it can't stop the pilgrims' piety and kill their perseverance.
On the way, the car was damaged by a van. Instead of giving up halfway, they chose to throw away the front of the car and let the man pull the carriage to move on.
When they arrived in Lhasa, they did not jump with joy, but quietly crossed their hands in front of the Potala Palace and recited countless classics in their hearts.
Everyone has a sacred mountain in his heart-Gangrinboqi. If you want to arrive, you must have sincere faith and go through a difficult pilgrimage. In addition, we must firmly believe that what we yearn for will be realized.
