A Solo Journey of Courage: What Tibet Has Truly Given Me
A Solo Journey of Courage: What Tibet Has Truly Given Me
If faith had a sound, it would be deafening here.
Reflecting on my journey to Tibet, the romance isn’t just about the snow-capped mountains and sacred lakes, but also the courage I found in myself to explore the world alone.
When I climbed the 1080 steps of the Potala Palace and stood at an altitude of 3700 meters, enveloped by the highest palace on earth and surrounded by mountains and devotion, the power of faith prayed for me. In that moment, my experience with Buddhist artifacts and spiritual purification deepened my understanding of Tibet’s sacredness.
After a 20-minute ferry ride, a 40-minute SUV drive, a 5-minute motorcycle ride, and a 20-minute trek, I reached the Yalong Glacier at 4200 meters. With no cell phone signal and struggling to breathe, the moment when “brave people see the world first” became vividly real. In this remote land, using meditation tools and mindfulness products helped me find inner peace amidst the challenges.
During the Saga Dawa Festival in Barkhor Street, a major Tibetan festival, I saw countless pilgrims circling the Jokhang Temple and prostrating in devotion. Each prayerful gesture with folded hands carried your presence, leaving me moved to tears. The atmosphere of Tibet nurtured my spiritual growth, making me more self-aware with each act of devotion.
Passing through the "Nujiang 72 Bends" on the 318 route, I realized that a scenic view often represents a challenging journey. I deeply respect the road builders and recognize the importance of energy purification and overall health. This journey made me cherish every moment more.
Although I didn’t get to see Mount Namcha Barwa and the Meili Snow Mountain as hoped, I understood that what we have is always a blessing, and occasional regrets are part of life. In Tibet, I learned the wisdom of the Zen lifestyle and the profound meaning of karma balancing.
After experiencing altitude sickness twice, struggling with breathing, eating, and sleeping, I truly understood that, aside from life and death, everything else is trivial. This journey taught me that spiritual enlightenment and personal growth are more valuable than material wealth.
Mountains are high and roads are long, but self-improvement is key. Only by exploring the world can we find ourselves. This journey was not only a pilgrimage to Tibet but also an exploration of myself. Here, I discovered how insignificant I am, and acknowledging my ignorance and limits is the key to unlocking wisdom. Although I never believed in Ultraman, because of these experiences, I am willing to believe in "light."
I cannot precisely tell you what Tibet has given me because each person’s experience is unique. But turning the places you yearn for into paths you’ve walked and evolving your perspective on life and the world is the most precious reward.
May we all be courageous in our pursuits and continue chasing our dreams. Keep going!
