Litang Morning

Tue, October 5, 2021 at 11:00 PM

Early in the morning, I went to the hills behind Litang Temple to take some photos. On my way back, I kept encountering devotees who were performing their circumambulation, all greeting me with "Tashi Delek." Many people also told me that I was going "the wrong way."

At first, I didn't understand, but later I realized that in Tibetan Buddhism, people circumambulate in a clockwise direction. However, I was not there to perform the circumambulation, just to take photos, so I could only point to my tripod and shake my head.
