Description

Tiens, vous etes si gentils avec moi, vous m´encouragez tellement qu´aujourd´hui je vous amène em promenade dans um des endroits les plus fabuleux de terre! Le coeur de Lhassa, du Tibet et- pour les tibetains- du monde! Autour du Jhokang, le plus important temple du Tibet, il y a le Bhakor, le quartier traditionnel. C´est un important lieu de pélérinage, il y a des gens qui rêvent toute la vie de venir. Beaucoup viennent à pied, d´autres à genoux. Il faut faire le tour du Jhokang plusieurs fois, em priant, dans le sense de l´aiguille de la montre. L´athmosphère de ferveur est incroyable. Tout le Tibet profond défile devant nous, des gens de toutes les régions du pays, avec leurs vêtements typiques, don’t beaucoup viennent pour la première fois a Lhassa. Pour les photographes, j´explique: on fait toujours le tour en sense contraire, sinon on ne ferait que des photos des gens de dos. J´ai fait cela à beaucoup d´endroits, je demande permission avant. A qui? A Boudah, bien sur! Il protége les photographes. J´en sais quelque chose : - ) Vous n´avez besoin de rien faire. Restez la, devant la place et regardez passer le Tibet devant vous. Il suffit d´ouvrir les yeaux et le Coeur… You are so nice with me, you encourage me so much today I take you to visit one of the most fabulous places I the world! The heart of Lhassa, the Tibet and - for the Tibetans- the hearth of the world! Around Jhokang, the most important temple of Tibet, there is Bhakor, the traditional district. It´s an important place of pilgrimage. Many people dream all the life to came here. Many arrives walking, from the distant villages, others with knees. It is necessary to make the turn of Jhokang several times, prayng, in the sense of aiguille watch. The mood of faith incredible. All deep Tibet cross in front of you, people of all the areas of the country, with their typical cloths. Many of these people came to Lhassa for the first time in your life. For the photographers, tell : we turn in contrary sense of the other people. If not, we take only photos of back the people. back. I make this in many holy places. Is irregular, I require always autorisation. To who? To Boudah himself! He protect the photographers. I am the proof : - ) . You have nothing to do. Stay here, in front of the place and look around. All Tibet passed in front of you. Just open your eyes and hearts… UM AGRADECIMENTO E UMA HOMENAGEM ESPECIAL AO FLAVIO, AMIGO QUERIDO E PRINCIPAL INCENTIVADOR, JUNTO COM A MARCIA. SEM ELES EU NÃO ESTARIA AQUI... A SPECIAL THANKS AND TRIBUTE TO FLAVIO, DEAR FRIEND AND MAIN SUPORT, TOGETHER WITH MARCIA. WITHOUT THEM I WOULD NOT BE HERE…

the masses of humanity around these temples takes a westerner some getting used to. very nice shot, I like the antique style coloring wheather that is the camera or post or scanning it adds to the richness of the image.

Merci pour cette photo qui semble démontrer que le bouddhisme a encore droit de citer malgré la répression. Merci mille fois!

S'il s'agissait d'une autre religion, les photographes n'auraient surement pas le droit de faire le tour en sens contraire, question de tolérance! lol Bravo et merci Mousson de nous emmener si loin!
