Walk with life

Lao Ju

In Tibet, I'm walking.

In the summer of that year, I entered Tibet from the Yunnan-Tibet line, from Deqin to Mangkang, and from Mangkang to Bomi. Start your hike from Bomi and climb over the Garongla Glacier into Metuo, then up the Brahmaputra River from. Since I chose a cold fetish route, I didn't meet a single traveler along the way. But the majestic rivers and mountains, the simple, warm and kind people moved me again and again. There, I experienced the helplessness and helplessness of being alone in the primeval forest for several days and nights after being injured, and it also made me realize that I can move forward with my life. It also taught me to think while walking.

In Lhasa, I went to Tashi Choling Monastery, which does not receive tourists in retreat, Ani Guangpa Monastery, where female monks practice, and Drikung Tye Monastery, which has the world's second largest burial platform. I saw the hot springs in Dezhong gushing with people, and I saw the Lhasa River at the bathing festival. Tibet is a magical place, and it will always give you unexpected shocks when you don't expect it, in ways you don't expect.

I started my trip to northern Tibet. I went to Serincuo, the largest lake in the plateau, and went to Hoh Xili. I walked in the swept wind and snow, and I pushed my limits.

On the way to hike Mount Everest, I experienced the night when the sand and dust danced in the tent and I had to sleep with a mask on. Experience singing and tap-dancing with the shepherds in the low stone houses of the pasture. Experience the biting cold and tornadoes of Mount Everest. Facing the undisguised Mount Everest, my heart has a purity that has never been before.

During my time in Tibet, most of the routes I took were unexplored, which is closer to the real Tibet. I zigzagged all the way to Chentang, and a lot of things happened in the middle. The snow-covered Turong ditch, the beautiful and surprising Chentang ditch, and the meteorological Xuma ditch are impressive everywhere. The singing and dancing of the Sherpas, the aroma of the chicken paw valley wine, and the lubrication of the Nine Eyes Hot Springs are all evocative.

I've been wondering what is it that attracts me? Is it to heat the eerily blue sky of Sana'a? Is it the sound of the waves of the Brahmaputra River? Is it the silence of Mount Everest, which reigns over the world? Is it the snowflakes that bloom in the wind swept by Hoh Xil? Is it a sparkle of light floating on the horizon? Is it Turonggou's fantastic ice and snow world? Or is it a ladder drawn on a rock? Prayer flags dancing on the top of the mountain? A pile of mani looking at quietly? Or Hada, pouring blessings and fluttering in the wind? The strong aroma of butter tea? The lingering of barley wine? A passionate pot village? A heavenly sound that penetrates the soul?

I do not know.

Since you don't know, keep looking.

All I know is to seek, and walk.

I'm used to walking, I'm used to thinking while walking. Carrying a heavy bag, take a step, travel in your own world, and let your mind fly freely. It's a feeling that not everyone can experience. Along the way, although each time it did not go well, each time there were problems that I had not encountered before, or I was accompanied by hunger, exhaustion, injuries and illness. But I have come through smoothly every time, because I am walking with life, and the potential of life is huge.

When I walked, I thought about many things, but what I thought about the most was the walk itself. It doesn't matter if it's self-tempering, or it's self-abuse. There are many things in a person's life that you can only experience and understand. There is a value called self, and this value is not understood by all people. Self is not a synonym for selfishness, but a spiritual radiance.

I'm glad that I've been through it this way for the rest of my life. The scenery is unpredictable at every step, and the scenery is thrilling at every step. If I could, I would like to keep walking like this. I was not born on the road, I am willing to die on the road.
