A Tibetan in life must at least do the prostration 100,000 times and the ritual of bowing is very typical of the Tibetans: the three-body - entering the field.
Impression of the ritual ‘trilogy enter the world’ in Tibet
Perhaps nowhere in the world, the prostration ceremony has made a strong impression on tourists as when coming to Tibet.
Even though I had heard it before, but when I saw it with my own eyes, a feeling of intense emotion was unavoidable when a traveler from as far away as me arrived in the land called "the roof of the world".
The first time I witnessed this rite was the day to Potala Palace - world cultural heritage in the Tibetan capital Lhasa.
When my body was adapting to an altitude of over 3,800m and the air was thin, I had to stop suddenly just to look closely at the women on the corner of a crowded street doing a bowing ceremony " three sets - five bodies - enter the site ”

.
That morning, on the doorstep of a closed office, they quietly headed towards the palace across the street to perform the prostrations with high concentration and seriousness.
Three sets (taking three steps) for the five bodies (legs, arms, chest, forehead . .



) to touch the ground once (enter the land) one prostration - a bowing ritual that has been unique to the Tibetans since ancient times and still maintained to the present, in spite of changes in space, time and time.
In front of the temple porch, on the monastic steps, in front of Potala Palace, on the pedestrian street around Dai Chieu pagoda, right at the corner of a crowded intersection in the Tibetan capital Lhasa, under the line on the entrance to Tashilunpo monastery or on the strip rocky soil next to the natural road ten thousand miles long, the curb is stubbornly rocky, there is no shadow of people, only cars go up and down, under the sun and in the cold weather.
They worship in groups or alone. Whether man or woman, old or young, clothes, gloves, shoes, and clogs are clean or have been stained with sugar dust, new or have worn shoulders.
The face is still bright or has been covered with marks from the ground, smeared or scarred!
Despite the sun and rain, despite the curiosity of the tourists, regardless of distance and distance, regardless of time, even despite the danger of their own life.
They travel alone, or sometimes have companions. Day to go, night off The carry-on luggage is a wooden item worn on the hand to slide on long distances, a cowhide Yak worn in front of his chest to avoid wind and friction, two rubber pads on the knees and the toe.




These people made a sincere prostration in silence and patience. Only the sound of the trunk can be heard when the two wooden pieces lining the hands touch each other (the two hooves worn on the hands act as two wheels to keep the skin of the hands from touching and easily leaning forward).
Many Tibetans still consider the pilgrimage to the ancient capital Lhasa to see the whereabouts of the Dalai Lama as a journey of his life, although each pilgrimage across the distance is dangerous in that harsh climate. a year long.
Because of such long trips, they often receive alms from customers along the way, helping them to pay somewhat more. But in addition to the miserable and poor food, they also have to face many hardships, even dangers, and bad people harming.
There have been many people who have left their bodies on the pilgrimage to worship. With the concept that life is a temporary realm, Tibetans believe that these people have passed away peacefully because they have made a meaningful journey of a lifetime.




I believe that. By looking at the prostrations that Tibetans perform, I feel a great aura of spiritual belief that is immutable, strong and irreversible, sometimes without having to look them in the eye. can also see.
