千年盐井

在西藏和云南交界处的澜沧江河谷里．我们不管向谁询问．人们都一致认定．他们的祖先发现和经营芒康的这一得盐井已经有上千年的历史：很久以前直到如今．这里就叫做“盐井”。没有任何记载或传说表明人们是如何找到这片盐井的。也许是一个或几个衣杉褴褛的猎人在追寻猎物时发砚了动物们常在这里流连．也许是牛羊凭着本能嗅到了盐巴的味道而把它们的主人领到了这里。     

索县弥漫的神玄之音

源起藏北那曲给人们一贯的印象是绵延起伏的无垠草场,遍地牛羊,冬雪夏花,雄浑的山峦与圣湖辉映,帐篷里飘荡出的是淳淳奶香和悠扬牧歌。雄浑与苍茫就是那曲的代名词。这块神秘高地的平均海拔在4500米之上,当各种变幻莫测的极端气候来袭,人们更觉得这里不是个宜居之地,然而,在那曲东三县之一的索县,却有着不一样的藏北风情。

SAINT WARDENG SAMPO IN GYIRONG

At first Gyirong promises to be endearing, if only because of its name. In Tibetan, Gyirong means ＂comfortable valley＂. As Master Padmasambhava came to spread Buddhism in Tibet, he passed through Gyirong and found it had wonderful scenery and pleasant views. So he gave it the name ＂Gyirong＂ and from then on, that name is still being used.

焦平面的背后

经常有朋友问赵利山：去过西藏多少次了？每次他都不知怎么回答,掰着手指都没法算出一个准确的数字,最后只有回答：很多次了。他并不善于用文字记录走过的旅程,在路上所看见的美景和故事都定格在了焦平面上。但其中总有一些事情让其印象深刻,有的可以与人分享,而有的则需要永远埋藏在心底,成为内心最深处的记忆!

小妖：翻越雪山来看你

回到背崩的第一个晚上,我住在“莲花缘”客栈的小木屋里,和小妖睡在同一张床上。屋外是一片田地,蛙的叫声大得惊人,如果仔细听,会觉得那不像蛙叫,而是山中的一种仪式。这是青蛙求偶的欢歌,在这个炎热多雨的季节,生命的渴望总是如此浓烈。

如神护佑——喜马拉雅天铁护身符

每至六月,残春即尽时,桑杰云登就会只身前往甘南草原采集虫草。七十岁的桑杰是位安多藏人,他有双会说话的眼睛,总是在微笑。在夏河的小酒馆里,我们很谈得来。在一次醉酒之后,倚在炉火的光亮里,桑杰突然想起了什么,摇醒迷睡的我：“你看,芥子,这是我的天铁”,他从贴身处摸出一枚青铜铸造的小神像,就像掏出了自己的心脏般,神情隆重。
