noTes for P5...

Jpeg file still too space occupying.

After the o/n Fx tx of dextrose, anti emetic, secret chinese meds and more trusty panadol...
we head out to our 1st taste of TIBET - LHASA.
Ancient, mysterious plateau of the east...
Secluded from the modern world... a spiritual world at heart.
We visit Da Zao Si...
One of the important temples in Tibet -- destination of prostrating pilgrimages.
Only selected village fellows are allowed to carry out this sacred and back breaking task, upon which they return in glory, to a status beyond all.
If you should meet a pilgrim along his way, share your bread and water and he would carry your prayers to the temple for you.
Pilgrims are also offered revered hospitality from villages they pass thru.

Your hands in prayer should be palms facing tog but hollowed. Movement is from forehead to mouth to heart, with/out prostrating.
Clockwise (deosil) is the direction to circle a buddha, or spin the Prayer Wheel.
