4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

XueLangZi 15 reviews

Most Tibetian people believe Lama, Tibetian Buddhism. Tibetian children can choose his way when he 13 years old. If choosing to be a Lama, it is mean he will serve for god all life. Lama's life is very simple. They live in mountain, temple, or walking on road, without extravagant matter. Zamba and buttered tea is enough for living, Reading lection is life's motive. May you think their life is too hardy. No, not at all! They own whatever they want, string along with jokul and lake, lama know it's enough for this life.

Gyrate lection canister is usually in Tibetan areas what is made in various sizes. Tibetan people who believe religion deeply often rotate the canister successively. Reasoning that it filled by lection, they think every time they rotating it is equivalent to read it once. Beside rotating, they must say " o ma ni bai mi hong" repetitively that is called logion of six characters. In addition, rotating it must from left to right. Otherwise, it may bring doom.

Living Buddha

Living Buddha is the highest status in Tibetan area. When they hold ceremony to propagandize the Tibetan Buddhism, many tibetan go to meet Living Buddha. If Living Buddha stroke one's calvaria, he or she will be bless.

Chossing Living Buddha is a complex and strict process. So, Living Buddha have a lot of prestige in tibetan people's heart.

I don't know how to translate Jingfan, maybe is Lection Canvas. It often be seen in Tibetan area. Tibetan people is the most devotional people I have seen. They usually walk a long way to pay respect to deity in their heart. Jingfan is one of thing they used to pay respect. On the largo altiplano, Seeing Jingfan express in the right way. Although you haven't see any body already, you won't feel alone no longer.
