Tashilunpo. Tibet.
On the second of November three flights I arrived in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Last time from Beijing to Lhasa went by train; the first days at great speed and on the second moved slowly - slowly and with infinite stops. Why we so slowly moved? It wasn't clear to us that we gradually adapted for mountain conditions. For the second day, at night, I was hurt strongly by the head and eyes; there was dryness in a throat, pressure in ears. In the afternoon everything passed. I had such condition only; other passengers were all "good fellows". This time decided to reduce time and in vain... While was in the plane, everything was normal.
In Lhasa was met by the guide by the name of Masha, to all of them give the Russian names that the name was easier remembered; on a jeep we went in of Shihadze. At once was overcome by drowsiness though in the afternoon I don't sleep. It was necessary to move on back sitting and to lie down. Headaches, dryness in a mouth began, put ears, dizziness, and nausea.
The highway from Lhasa to Shihadze is new, modern with road signs and marking. The route passes along the mountain river which course is clamped between two ridges of mountains. North side of the Himalayas, are naked rocky slopes, and at the bottom, in places, there are pastures. On river floods, where is small current, geese float. Slopes are fixed in places where the road crashes into rocks, by metal powerful gauzes or high retaining walls.
The road represents a sinusoid across. Admissible speed is of no more than 60 km. in an hour, with stops. On time the way lasts 4 hours.
Violent vegetation is in the Himalayas from India and Nepal. From there and view of two mountains: Everest and Kailas. Everest and its bottom belong to Powers of Light and Kailas is to demonic forces: sorcerers and black magicians. If by nonsense you get on the darkness territory, and then try to get rid of them. It is difficult to get out of the God...
In hotel went to bed at once; have a little a rest and... began. As soon as darkened, there was a crash of windowpanes, are demons came to torment me. Force of adhesion between atoms of glass weakens when through it passes an astral body. Knocked on a window sill, on a bedside table, approached to a bed; them was a little. I all night long asked - appealed to the Absolute, asked to banish them from a planet. They jumped out; the crash was distributed, and then again came back. The crash, knock, rustling was all night long distributed. It is surprising that my head didn't burst from pains, such pains happen from "dark" energy. Heard team: "Leave". But they couldn't touch me, to me is filled All-initial, Mental energy and they could burn.
Even on the way to Lhasa, on intermediate plan landing, dark me brought out of the plan to the city; I came round in time and, by means of airport service, came back to the plane. In the plane before me there was a long leaf on which little men, from left to right, and from right to left and again at the left were drawn then to the right, and the long text in which intervals I read brightly allocated words below is written; … White Brotherhood, … Maitreya …, Panchen - a lama, … Someone "pleased" me … So I thought.
In the morning for me Masha came. I asked it: "Where it is possible to measure pressure? «But she didn't understand me; told that the drugstore opens in 9 hours Masha, on the attitude towards me, was very soft and attentive. In China all guides very valid. I didn't admit food to cafe, couldn't.
On a jeep we went to a monastery of Tashilhunpo which settles down directly in the city, at the bottom of the Himalayas. In 9 hours mornings began to approach pilgrims from Tibet; elderly, young, children of different age. Approaching to the main case where the statue of Maitreya is stored, pilgrims kneeled, put palms on a floor and by a forehead touched the back party of brushes - brought bows to the Buddha - Maitreya. In hands everyone had a package, with any contents. In 9 hours 30min. there is an opening of the main case; there was a monk in red clothes, like - a long dress with long sleeves, all were constructed on one that at an entrance there was no crush. We rose on a cool short flight of stairs to the room where the Statue settles down. The fifth Buddha Maitreya in a pose of "Lotus" stays in a lotus flower.
Petals of a lotus it isn't visible, everything is covered by multi-colored tapes. (By the way, in the city of Lhasa all streets are covered by strings with tapes which, moving on a wind, frighten off evil ghosts). The statue is poured out of copper, hilded and all in diamonds. Diamonds as it seemed to me, the size, approximately, 10 by 15 mm. The top part of a trunk and hand are decorated with diamonds equal, the identical size. The statue is faced by capacities with the melted oil, (from milk of yaks) with candlesticks in which candles burn. Lie in these capacities of a spoon, them gather oil and water candles.
There was a Friday, the service wasn't. Why verbosity? Pilgrims silently said to "mantras". At all to "mantras" began the word "OHM", i.e. "AUM" - three in one. Lasted holy-action, approximately, an hour and a half, one group of people came, and another left. Everyone made wish...
So occurs every day. For each district day for monastery visit - the temple is defined. In this room is twilight. I passed along capacities on the left, the monk concerned my sleeve of a coat, looked at me, and departed, and I turned to Masha and told: "Let's go with me", (in vain made it). Took it by hand, that with it to go (there the twilight), and the monk "evaporated". We bypassed around "Lotus" on which the Fifth Buddha sits, anywhere was nobody. On the right at a table, in a corner three monks sat and silently repeated to "mantras" - the sacred phrase. Masha too worships to the Fifth Buddha says to "mantras" and makes wish. Lord of M.: the last time was embodied in India, It has no nationality, and it is the Uniform pastor for all. There will be One God for all people of a planet. Nationalities won't be, borders between the states will be abolished, bodies will be facilitated, a planet too. Asked it: "You want to read about it is»? I can give the site", - I offered. Masha took the site business card. She asked me: "You worship to Maitreya? He with you speaks? You profess the Buddhism? "
At once we had to go to Lhasa, but we decided to spend the night in Shihadze. Such had a weakness in a body that I couldn't straighten shoulders. Except mountain conditions unusual, "dark" (that all of you departed on Saturn) left the mark. This day we once again came into the same case (monks washed up floors, oiled a threshold and steps), - anybody already in the temple wasn't. I asked Masha: "And where 30 meter statue of Maitreya? » It shows on this near which we stand. Say that this about 5 m Masha doesn't understand the word "30 meter". That further to me happened, a pure occultism. I don't know, whether I can tell about it.
