チベットshangrilaシャングリラtibetankhamkham-tibetanmonkmonasterytibetan-homervcampgroundstuparituralbuddhism雲南中国ruralvillageWhat is Zanba?
It's a staple food made from baked barley flour, mixed with milk tea and yak butter. It's like a paste, and it's particularly common in the plateau region.
What's the significance of the prayer stupas?
Each village has one, serving as a social hub where people gather to perform rituals and chat. Their locations are determined by the living Buddha and hold deeper meaning.
What was it like making Zanba?
It was like rubbing dough, and adding yak butter at the end. It was ready pretty quickly!
What did the monks' daily life look like?
They wake up at six in the morning and rest around ten or eleven at night. They study and sometimes they fight, study together, or get a scolding from the teacher. They also talk to travelers to practice their Chinese.
What's the most important thing for the monk?
To spend the rest of his life here learning Buddhism and finally be like Sakyamuni Buddha, reach Elysium fields after death.
