Okrinpochi. I can't think of anything when I see these words. You can probably think of "Rinpoche" just by putting forward the last three words. Don't doubt that this is the same word. In Tibetan, it means "treasure". Gang means "snow", so in Chinese translation, Gang Rinpoche can also be called "Snow Mountain".
Seen from the map, Gangren Boqi is on the west side of Tibet, Mangkang is on the east side, with a distance of more than 2000 kilometers. Most of the journey is on the 318 National Highway, passing through the Tibetan area of Linzhi in Xiaojiangnan and the holy city of Lhasa. "Every day has four seasons across the mountains", which is a beautiful scenery and a favorite of cyclists.
If there are any representative literary images in the contemporary era, "on the road" is one.
Gangren Boqi is the story of a group of Tibetans "on the road".
Unlike the confused and confused "road" with strong urban atmosphere, the "road" here is very quiet, and only one thing needs to be done on the road: kowtow.
Coincidentally, Park Shu sang "The Ordinary Road" for the former and "No fear in my heart" for the latter. In the former, he found that ordinary is the only answer, and in the latter, he found that the "real me" would be born only if he let go of the fall.
2015 is the Year of the Goat in the Tibetan calendar, the natural year of Meili Snow Mountain. At that time, I was in Nangqian County, Qinghai, and almost all my Tibetan friends tried their best to go to Kawagbo, the main peak of Meili Snow Mountain, to turn the mountain. They have a kind of courage to leave at will, and the whole family will go together. The other day I called the village secretary to ask something. He said that he was driving to Yunnan with his family and would come back later.
Later, I heard that the village head also went there. After turning around the mountain, I went to Lijiang in Dali for a stroll, which took about a month.
I think this is a kind of travel and leisure for ordinary people. They are much more unrestrained than I am.
OkRinpochi's birth year should be before the Meili Snow Mountain, the Tibetan Year of the Horse. It is a powerful power to go to Zhuanshan in the natural year of the holy mountain and win outstanding merits and virtues. Several villagers in the film have their own disappointments and expectations. They want to accomplish their own small goals through this pilgrimage. So he took his tent and dry food and set out.
"Wow", the clapper made a sound on the road, and the repeated kowtows began.
Ma Da, panting, talking, wind blowing, snow falling, wood burning
Music? I'm sorry, "Okayama Boqi" doesn't have it.
In the power of silence, all carefully polished melodies may be noise.
In the cinema, there is always a lack of something to calm people down. This film has.
I see a nation that has lived like this. The holy mountain and the holy lake are not the end. Accept the ordinary self, but do not give up the ordinary ideals and beliefs. Love life. We are all on the way.
Since you are on the way, you have already started, but you just didn't realize it.
I like a setting in the film: the newborn baby and adults grow up slowly on the pilgrimage road. Its implication is simple and profound: even if you spend a whole day doing nothing, you are still on the road. Even if your destination is not Gangrinpochi, you are still on the way.
From birth, you are on the way to death. What really distinguishes people is what you do on the road.
We are so good at introspection and beautifying others. He is good at pinning hope on a distant place and banishing impatience and depression into longing.
It always ignores that immobility is also a practice.
Finally, please allow me to spoil the fun and say a little thing. The purpose of mountain turning may be to remove the invisible garbage from the heart, but if you don't pay attention, the visible garbage will pollute the visible world.
In terms of environmental awareness, I think it is not difficult for anyone who loves life to reach a consensus.
