This
year I’ve been travelling around Tibet and just in time to see some harvesting
and in one village how the villagers thank for the harvest. On the fields you
can see a special way to pile the trusses.
The
villagers have dressed in their finest traditional way and old and young are
participating. The drink yak butter tea and chang (chhaang), a beer made from
the highland barley, which has a low content of alcohol. They march to the
drum. Some of the women a carrying holy scripture, so that the prayers are set
free into the surroundings. They walk around all fields and the village.
You
notice that they also carry the flag of the People’s Republic of China!
