Watching a documentary last night, a Tibetan who makes Tibetan incense spoke conclusively and said with conviction: Making Tibetan incense requires a lot of raw materials, and they are all distributed in different places on the mountain. If I see five fruits, I will only take three or four. I have to leave one as a seed and cannot pick them all. Retribution is not a matter of whether there will be it or not, there will definitely be retribution, there will definitely be it, yes, yes.
In the afterlife, many people think this is superstition. In fact, it is superstitious. Aren’t the sky, the earth, the trees, and a piece of fine sand all what they will be like in the afterlife? Everyone will turn into smoke and dust, and what you stand under your feet is the afterlife of this impermanent world. There is no difference between this world and the next life, life and death. They are in different worlds.

I feel like I am about to use up all my physical energy, my body is starting to lose temperature, and I can no longer support it. I just hope to spend the rest of my life quietly, settle down without fear of honor or disgrace, and never climb or surpass anything again.
After crossing the Tianshan Mountains, the word that often wanders in my mind in my spare time is "not surprised by honor or disgrace". I hope to understand these words so that I can gain something.
No matter where you are, how much you have, or how much aura you have, or how you are abused, despised, or insulted, you must know how to advance and retreat at the right time, without being surprised, disturbed, or confused. When you are honored, you must not be so frightened that you talk nonsense; when you are humiliated, you must not belittle yourself or deceive yourself.
Don't underestimate these or anything too easily, and don't go all in easily. For a man, having a trump card that is not obvious is often the qualification for not being angry or self-defeating. A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and water cannot be measured by a bucket. Being humble, pragmatic and low-key is a good way to stay invincible forever. No matter what the ups and downs are, if you can’t get over them, you won’t hear the stories. As long as the past has passed, when I look back, I will not only feel lingering fear, but also miss you, and sharing is often embellished.
The Buddha has always been there, but ordinary people are invaded by the five poisons, so they cannot see the Buddha. The Buddha is around everyone every day. Whether you see it or not, the Buddha is everywhere like the air.
There is not much I want to write this week. There is a lot of information, and it may take a while to digest more of it. Next I will share some pictures with you.
This is the glass dome of the Urumqi Museum. It is quite beautiful. It combines Islamic style and modern Bauhaus style, and has excellent lighting performance.
Jiazi Chain Clothes. Thousands of years of battles and expansion of territory are now lying quietly in the museum, telling history in silence.
Gorgeous satin, I didn’t read the introduction in detail, but I like the color and texture very much.
We climbed over these mountains and climbed along the ridges. The meadows seemed beautiful, but they were so endless and overwhelming.
Climbing up these mountains with a load of 20kg, I can’t describe in words how cruel it is, I don’t even want to say anything.
Dragon’s Back, one of the iconic sections of Wusun Ancient Road, this is the first Daban. We needed to walk along the ridge to the end of the screen. We were unable to complete the trip that night and were forced to camp halfway up the mountain, in the green ravine on the right.
After climbing over the fragmented rock mountain behind Dragon's Back, we are already on the way down the mountain. We have been struggling for survival on the way up the mountain, and few people can take pictures. Looking at the two kilometers of gravel still on the way down the mountain, it collapsed countless times.
Walking down the valley, this was the first time in several days that I saw a herd of horses. This meant that there were herdsmen nearby, and it was a long time to be happy to find animals here. When I discovered those horses, my first thought was to desperately want to rent one and get me out of this place and never come back.
The distant mountains of Paradise Lake,
Finally arrived at Paradise Lake. At this moment, I don’t know what to say or what to shoot. Many of the pictures were blurred. I have seen many mountain lakes that are more beautiful than Paradise Lake, but the beauty of Paradise Lake lies in its inaccessibility and the fact that you seem to be able to see through thousands of years of history. Times are constantly changing, but she cannot.
These vicissitudes of life are full of tenderness and strength. . .
Blue sky, jagged stones,
I met a young herdsman driving a donkey by the Paradise Lake. I gave him my gloves. He needed these more than me.
Leaving Paradise Lake and preparing to climb the second Daban. In this life, I will only be able to see you in person once, not a second time.
While crossing Daban, light snow began to fall in the sky, and then it became heavier and heavier. Fortunately, it turned into a blizzard after we set up camp. Areas above 3,000 meters above sea level have frequent microclimates. Fortunately, we did not encounter particularly bad rain or snow during the entire process.
