"The trip to Tibet"
I traveled in Tibet for the first time at
the summer vacation of university . The bus
which is likely to break is taken one whole
day and night, it crosses desolate highlands,
and, even now, I am not forgotten in the
surprise when arriving in Lhasa, the capital
of Tibet, at last.@
Potala Palace (Dalai Lama's palace) seen
for the first time was shining greatly beyond
anticipation. Henceforth, although I traveled
in various foreign countries, it was less
than the impression when arriving in Lhasa
for the first time.
Then, I extended my trip also to the nomadism
division in East Tibet or northeast Tibet,
having read the book written about old Tibet,
such as Mr. Kazumi Nishikawa's writing, and
swelling imaginative power.
Tibet was invaded by China and 40 years or
more have already passed.
Externally, the figure of Tibet in which
it was written to such an old book has already
been lost. However, if associates with Tibetans
for a while, I can think that the base of
the moral structure rooted in Buddhism has
not changed.
