are considered ‘a desirable gift.
Silk scarves are exchanged when
meeting important strangers.
Fishing, hunting, and mining are
forbidden for religious reasons. The
killing of any living thing is not
allowed except that necessity has
forced the raising of sheep and yak
for food. The cold mountain en-
vironment requires meat.
Religion, a modified form of
Buddism, is the outstanding charac-
teristic of the people. The prayer
OM MANI PADME HUM meaning
“Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus” is
heard everywhere.. It is written on
slips of paper and stirred in by
water wheels, written on flags
fluttering in the breeze, and on
cylindrical wheels rotated by hand
and wind in immense numbers. At
one point the prayer wheels set in
greased spindles rumbled like a
roller coaster. Every home has its
shrine.
About a quarter of all males be-
come priests, There are hundreds
of thousands of monks and some
nuns, and perhaps a thousand in-
carnate Lamas. The big monas-
teries own about a third of the land
and receive gifts in addition to
their own income. For every im-
portant government job two men
are assigned, a civilian and a Lama
and the latter is the boss.
Rosaries with 108 beads, one for
each book of their scriptures, are
used for devotions, also for count-
ing and for adornment. Demons and
oracles and a few other carry overs
from ancient beliefs are considered
of equal importance with the more
spiritual Buddist teachings.
The good Buddist everywhere be-
lieves in the “Noble Eightfold
Pathright views, right aspirations,
right speech, right conduct, right
livlihood, right effort, right mind-
fulness and right rapture, They
also accept wholly the four Noble
Truths: suffering, the cause of
suffering, the cessation of suffer-
ing, and the Eightfold Path leading
to the end of suffering. In all
events the Tibetan realizes in ad-
dition to all the good practices and
ceremonies he himself must lead a
good and generous life, one of
brotherly love, in order to be re-
incarnated on a higher level at
death”.
Thomas really gets enthusiastic
in. describing the Potala built in
1641 with 1000 rooms, the resi-
dence of the Dalai Lama, and the
monasteries.
This is a good book.
