I got into Tibet by taking the highest train in the world into Lhasa. From Xi'an it was a 36 hour trip through the high plains and all the way up to 16,000 feet! The train ride was spectacular. Herds of Yaks, grand mountains, bright yellow grass and the occasional fox could be seen along the way. The train was nice and had oxygen.
I was in Tibet for 8 days and during my time there I explored monasteries, took a day trip to the breathtaking holy lake, walked with the pilgrims, and lost myself in the markets and back alleys of Lhasa. Almost every day I would walk around the holiest temple in Tibet with hundreds of other pilgrims that had come from tribes all over the place. I would walk and watch as these people prayed, spun their prayer wheels, did prostrations,
smiled, and fiddled with their ritual beads. I never got sick of just walking and observing these people. I also had a remarkable day biking to the Sera monastery with a friend from Australia. Everybody I asked responded with smiles, a nod, the occasional invitation in to eat, and a point in the right direction. When I got out of town I saw the monastery up on the hill with various switchbacks leading to it. I made my way up and was looking around when a monk came out of the biggest building, smiled, and pointed me into a place not too many westerners had been. I walked around in the large building that had been built on a rock hundreds of hears before peering into all the dark rooms. Past statues, prayer wheels, and up onto the roof that was covered with prayer flags and overlook Lhasa. At Sera I watched an amazing tradition called “debating”. Hundreds of monks in a court yard paired off with one sitting and the other standing and occasionally clapping his hands in front of the other. They would argue back and forth and then the standing monk would clap again and the process would repeat. Quite a show when there were over a hundred monks doing this.
To me, Lhasa was incredible. The people were dedicated and accepting. Hope their buddhist culture can survive forever and I hope I would be able to come back some other time to see it unchanged and even more alive!
