I have always been curious about Tibetan Buddhism, it feels very mysterious, and I always want to take a deeper look. During the National Day in 2011, a few photographers came to Axu Grassland, Dege County, Ganzi Prefecture, and Ling Dengpei Temple. At that time, there was no hotel in Axu Grassland, so we could only stay in Dengpei Monastery. Zhuweise Living Buddha warmly received our party, prepared bedding and meals for us, and allowed us to take photos in the temple. Figures 1 to 12 were taken in 2011, but this time we stayed here for a day I had no choice but to leave, because it was snowing at that time, if I didn’t leave, I would be sealed in by the heavy snow, and I would not be able to get out until the snow had penetrated, the weather warmed up, and the snow melted, and it might take several months. easy to get away. I thought I must find another opportunity to go in and shoot again, but it never happened again.


Until the end of July 2017, the District Federation of Literary and Art Circles organized our District Photography Association to go to Shiqu County, Ganzi Prefecture, the counterpart aid county of Jinniu District, to follow up with the aid-Tibet cadres. It’s not accurate either. I didn’t get an accurate answer when I asked the way all the way, or I just didn’t understand it, because we can’t understand Tibetan, and they can’t understand Chinese either. The more hopeless, I keep looking for passers-by to inquire and keep moving forward, the mobile phone has no signal, and the road has not been completely repaired. In the end, it was dark and there were no passers-by. Several people were desperate, but still I had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward, and then I finally got a signal on my mobile phone. I walked on the road with other cars, and I finally saw a road sign. The arrow pointed to Dege County in front of me. Drive in the direction indicated by the arrow. I drove to the small road again, and it was a road without street lights and car lights. After driving for nearly an hour, I finally saw another light in front of me, but there were no cars or pedestrians on the road. Sign, Axu Township, the first reaction is: Is this the Axu Grassland? Fortunately, the mobile phone here has a signal. I took out my mobile phone and found the number of Xiezhuweise Living Buddha. The phone rang, and I heard the voice of the Living Buddha. It seemed that I had met a savior. After a brief chat, I found a person from an ancient building. It turns out that this is the temple of King Gesar. After knowing the location, the living Buddha Xiezhu Weise arranged for us to find us quickly, and arranged accommodation and dinner for us in the township. It turns out that the place has changed a lot after a few years. There are hotels and restaurants, although The store was closed late, but it was still convenient for us to open the door, thank you! On the second day, Xie Zhu sent disciples for Se Living Buddha to welcome us to the temple. He said that today there will be Buddhist activities in the temple, and he has been preparing for it last night. He will be too busy to accompany us. He invites us to play casually in the temple. We took photos in the temple for nearly an hour and then left. Figures 13 to 31 are taken this time.
