[5 years ago today] ༄ ⛰️️❤️ As deep as mountains, as gentle as wind. // 深沉如山，温煦如风。 Shēnchén rúshān, wēnxù rú fēng. // Thâm trầm như sơn, ôn hú như phong. // Sâu thẳm như núi, dịu dàng như gió. P.s.: Picture taken in Langmusi (Taktsang Lhamo), Sichuan and Gansu, China in 2019.
4 years ago today, I visited Langmusi. 🌳🚶♀️💫 Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself. // 有时你会发现自己在偏僻的地方。有时在偏僻的地方，你会发现自己。 Yǒushí nǐ huì fāxiàn zìjǐ zài piānpì dì dìfāng. Yǒushí zài piānpì dì dìfāng, nǐ huì fāxiàn zìjǐ. // Hữu thì nhĩ hội phát hiện tự […]
📖🌱❤️ དམ་ཆོས་ཀྱིས་བློ་སྒོ་ཕྱེ། དཀར་ཟས་ཀྱིས་དགེ་སེམས་གསོ། // Buddhist scriptures enlighten wisdom, vegetarianism nurtures kindness. // 佛经启智慧，素食养善心。 Fó jīng qǐ zhì huì, sù shí yǎng shàn xīn. // Phật kinh khải trí tuệ, tố thực dưỡng thiện tâm. P.s.: Picture taken in Langmusi (Taktsang Lhamo), Sichuan and Gansu, China in 2019.
This morning, I went to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Though the water was not as high, the gorge was worth looking. It was another sunny day in Yunnan, but as I went higher, the weather was cooler to my liking. In the afternoon, I reached Shangri-La (Zhongdian) in Yunnan. The so-called little Potala was a […]
🕊️🙏💐 May you rest in peace, your soul be comforted. // 愿死者安息，亡魂得抚慰。 Yuàn sǐzhě ānxí, wánghún dé fǔwèi. // Nguyện tử giả an tức, vong hồn đắc phủ úy. // Cầu người chết được yên nghỉ, vong hồn được an ủi. P.s.: Picture taken in Langmusi (Taktsang Lhamo), Sichuan and Gansu, China in 2019.
🌳🌿🚶♂️ Woke with memories of mountains and jungles Well-worn trails, exhaustion, and roads well-traveled And reasons and excuses for roads not followed // 今天早上起来忽然想念森山林，想念破旧的小径，想念疲惫，想念走过的每一段旅程，想念都找借口停止了的旅程。 Jīntiān zǎoshang qǐlái hūrán xiǎngniàn sēnshān lín, xiǎngniàn pòjiù de xiǎojìng, xiǎngniàn píbèi, xiǎngniàn zǒuguò de měi yīduàn lǚchéng, xiǎngniàn dōu zhǎo jièkǒu tíngzhǐle de lǚchéng. // Kim thiên tảo thượng […]
3 years have passed since the day I set foot in Langmusi. 🔍🚶♀️💫 Good thing I’ve found my path in endless possibilities. // 好在无尽的可能性中找到了自己的路。 Hǎo zài wújìn de kěnéng xìng zhòng zhǎodàole zìjǐ de lù. // Hảo tại vô tận đích khả năng tính trung hoa đáo liễu tự kỷ đích lộ. // Cũng may […]
🌸🌥️🛤️ A species of flower lives in a far, far away place, where many clouds pave the way for whoever comes back. Flowers flutter, just flutter, flowers fall, just fall. Love each other, separate, flowers flutter, bid farewell. // Loài hoa bay sống ở nơi xa thật xa có nhiều mây giăng lối ai về […]
After 1,000 days I set foot in Langmusi, it’s still my most favorite place on earth. Langmusi was were I took off all my envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears. That day tricked me into thinking that I had a good life. P.s.: Picture taken in Langmusi (Taktsang Lhamo), Sichuan and Gansu, China in 2019.
