Wang Qingfeng saw that Jiang Shiqian said so resolutely, so it was inconvenient to say anything, but he was very puzzled in his heart, Jiang Shiqian's governing style has always been very peaceful, cautious, and sometimes even a little soft, it is rare for him to insist on one thing so strongly, could it be that there are still twists and turns in it? I only hope that Duan Zetao can withstand the test, otherwise an outstanding young cadre may be buried in western Tibet.

The next day, the Standing Committee of Western Tibet Province wanted to discuss the arrangements for the cadres to aid Tibet, so they gave the cadres a day off to visit the scenery of Lassam.

Hu Tielong and Fang Dongming couldn't take a special plane with Duan Zetao, so they could only take the next plane with Duan Zetao's luggage to meet him, Duan Zetao didn't go out with other cadres to aid Tibet, called Fang Dongming, saying that he had just gotten off the plane and was putting his luggage at the St. Regis Resort in Lhasam, so Duan Zetao asked Fang Dongming and them not to come, and took a taxi to meet them.

Western Tibet not only has a unique plateau and snowy scenery, but also a mysterious religious culture, and the cultural landscape integrated with this nature also makes Western Tibet have a truly unique charm in the eyes of travelers all over the world. Up to now, there are still many Tibetan people's living customs that are far away from the modern people outside the plateau, and it is precisely because of the distance that everything in western Tibet has ornamental value.

Tourism in western Tibet is still relatively developed, and tourists from home and abroad can be seen everywhere on the streets, but the most attractive to Duan Zetao are indeed those Tibetans who come to "pilgrimage" with prayer wheels or Buddhist beads, their faces are solemn and their eyes are firm, so you can't help but be moved by their piety.

The St. Regis Resort is very close to the famous Potala Palace, which is the first choice for Duan Zetao and their visit, the Potala Palace was built in the 7th century A.D., by the Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo for the Tang Dynasty Princess Wencheng who married the western Tibet, and is the highest and largest palace-like complex in the world today.

Duan Zetao has seen many palaces and temples in the mainland before, but the Potala Palace is indeed different, which is bred by the Tibetan religious culture. The building is magnificent and magnificent, the bearing is extraordinary, and the murals, color paintings and sculptures in the palace are unique, showing the excellent tradition and high artistic achievements of the ancient Tibetan people's architectural art.

The palace is divided into white, red and yellow three colors, red represents the domination of the three realms, white represents silence, yellow represents longevity, blessing and prosperity, there are many tourists visiting the Potala Palace, because the palace is a civil structure, the bearing can not be too large, so tourists need to queue up to enter in batches, because there are too many tourists, there are many precious Buddha statues, murals, Tibetan scriptures and book seals, antique jewelry, so the control is also relatively strict, photography is not allowed in the palace, and can only go according to the prescribed route, There were also many staff members watching along the way, and Duan Zetao felt less interested in touring.

The only thing worth mentioning in the Potala Palace is that you can find money by putting money into the merit box, that is, if you want to give a dime, if you give one yuan, you can get back the nine dimes yourself, if you give it elsewhere, it is estimated that there will be people fishing in troubled waters, Duan Zetao paid special attention to it, and did not find any such phenomenon, which also shows that religion does have a magical charm that leads people to goodness.

"If you go to Lassam without going to the Jokhang Temple, you have never been to Lassam", this is the voice of almost every traveler. This is the holy place for worshippers, not the most famous Potala Palace, because the Jokhang Temple is inhabited by lamas, and the Potala Palace now only houses staff.

Just arrived outside the Jokhang Temple, you saw the huge square full of pious "pilgrimage" Tibetans, the scene is very shocking and touching, the pilgrims spread a piece of felt on the ground, the real five-body throw, arms open to the ground, even the tip of the nose is close to the ground, the pious attitude makes people can not help but be moved, which also shows the high status of the Jokhang Temple in the minds of the Tibetans.

Compared with the majestic Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple is much more simple, but you can feel her restrained and revealing an aura, in the burning butter lamp, everyone can feel a magical and shocking power of faith, so although there are many tourists, you can't hear any noise.

The Jokhang Temple hall is 4 storeys high, and the whole building has a golden dome and a bucket arch for the typical Han style. The watchtowers and carved beams are Tibetan style, and the 103 wooden carved beasts and human-faced lion bodies arranged in rows under the eaves of the second and third floors of the main hall present the style characteristics of Nepal and India. In addition to the 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni brought by Princess Wencheng from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, there are nearly 1,000 meters of Tibetan murals in the temple "Princess Wencheng Entering Tibet" and "Jokhang Temple Construction Map", which are breathtaking.

The Jokhang Temple is very large, and the control is more lax than the Potala Palace, Duan Zetao got lost when he turned around, and only when he found that the other tourists around him except Hu Tielong and Fang Dongming were gone, he knew that he was in the wrong place, and he was thinking about finding someone to ask for the next way, and he saw two young lamas wearing red lama clothes walking out of the small door on the side.

When the two young lamas saw Duan Zetao and them, they were shocked and angry, and immediately shouted in Tibetan: "How did you get in?!" This is a holy place, outsiders are not allowed to enter, get out quickly! In fact, it's no wonder that these two young lamas are so anxious, they were supposed to guard the gate outside, preventing ordinary tourists from coming in, it just so happened that both of them had diarrhea, thinking that it would be okay to leave for a while, but they didn't think that they were accidentally hit by Duan Zetao and broke in, if this matter was known by the big lamas above, these two young lamas would inevitably be punished extremely severely.

But none of the three of them knew Tibetan, and after listening to the words of these two lamas, they looked at each other and stood there in confusion, and the two young lamas saw that Duan Zetao and they were still not moving, so they were even more anxious, and rushed forward directly to prepare to push Duan Zetao out.

Hu Tielong, who was on the side, saw that the two young lamas moved their hands, and they didn't think so much, they rushed up and grabbed the hands of the two young lamas and twisted them, and the two young lamas immediately screamed in pain, "Wow Wow", this call alarmed the other lamas in the temple, and immediately rushed out of the small door More than a dozen young lamas dressed in red lama clothes surrounded Duan Zetao and the three of them.

Duan Zetao looked at it, it's terrible! Lama in the western province of Tibet status transcendent, deeply respected by the Tibetan people, if this matter is a big trouble, is likely to cause a huge national dispute, he just arrived in western Tibet to have such a file of trouble, if not handled well, to leave a bad impression on the superiors do not say, their career may be over, but he does not understand Tibetan, want to explain there is no way to say, Rao is he has always been resourceful, at this time there is no idea, a circle of sweat on the head of the door of the rush out.

At this critical moment, suddenly a middle-aged lama walked out of the small door, different from those young lamas, this middle-aged lama's red lama clothes also wore a yellow robe, showing that his status in the temple is relatively high, the middle-aged lama shouted a few words to the young lamas who surrounded Duan Zetao, the young lamas' faces changed greatly, frightened, looking at Duan Zetao, their eyes also changed from anger to awe, and they all saluted Duan Zetao and dispersed neatly.

Duan Zetao was completely blindsided by the scene in front of him, and then the middle-aged lama walked over, folded his hands, saluted Duan Zetao very respectfully, and said in fluent Chinese: "Distinguished guest, Panchen Erdeni, please come in and meet!" ”。

The Panchen Living Buddha invited me in?! Duan Zetao was taken aback again, although he did not know much about the hierarchy of lamas in western Tibet, he still knew that the living Buddha of Dalai and the living Buddha of the Panchen Lama were the two supreme religious leaders of western Tibet, and since the 14th Dalai Lama fled abroad after launching an armed rebellion, the Living Buddha of the Panchen Lama has become the only supreme religious leader in western Tibet.

The living Panchen Lama was canonized by the central government, and his status was very transcendent, even if it was not easy for ordinary government officials to meet him, why did he take the initiative to meet Duan Zetao? How did he know that Duan Zetao had arrived at the Jokhang Temple? Duan Zetao was puzzled, and hurriedly returned the salute to the middle-aged lama: "This master, may I ask...".

The middle-aged lama didn't even dare to say it, and introduced himself: "I am the 'Chiba' Nima Cheren of this monastery, and I don't practice enough, how can I be worthy of the title of 'master'!" Duan Zetao knew that he had put an oolong again, the lama's hierarchy was very strict, and the title was also very particular, so he quickly apologized to him, and continued to ask: "Does the Panchen Living Buddha know me?" How did he know I was here? ”。 (Note: "Chiba" is the person in charge of all religious activities or affairs of the whole temple, and is generally held by the monks who have profound knowledge of Buddhism and high morality.) ）

The middle-aged lama also showed a puzzled look, shook his head and said: "I don't know, the Panchen Living Buddha was originally practicing in the Tashipbulon Palace in Akza, and suddenly came to the Jokhang Temple a few days ago. Please come with me, these two Panchen Living Buddhas did not say that they wanted to be invited in, so please wait patiently outside. ”。

Duan Zetao had no choice but to let Hu Tielong and Fang Dongming wait outside, with a stomach full of questions, he followed Nima Cheren left and right to a very quiet courtyard, Nima Cheren pushed open a door, and saluted Duan Zetao again: "The Panchen Living Buddha is inside, I don't practice enough, I can't go in, you just go in alone......."

Duan Zetao walked into the room and saw that there was a big bed in the room, on which was covered with a whole brightly colored yak felt, and a person was sitting on the felt, presumably it was the Panchen Living Buddha......
