"Where did you come from to worship Buddha?" "We are from Shigatse, today is' Sagada Wa ', and all six members of the family are here." On May 20, when Chinese and foreign guests of the 2023 China Tibet Development Forum visited Baguo Street in Lhasa, British visitor Michael Crook was talking with the believers of Tibetan Buddhism when he was turning to Buddhist scriptures.

The day when Jiang Feibo, a reporter from China News Service, took the photo coincided with the first day of April in the Tibetan calendar. Tibetan Buddhism ushered in the traditional religious activity "Saga Dawa". April in the Tibetan calendar is known as "Saga Dawa" and "Buddha Month". It is a special month for the birth, attainment and nirvana of Buddha Sakyamuni. Ambassadors and envoys from various countries to China, including Nepal, Myanmar, the Philippines, Mozambique, Fiji, Venezuela, Indonesia, Bangladesh, as well as Chinese and foreign guests, also visited the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple on the same day.

Jiang Feibo, a reporter from China News Service, took a photo at Jokhang Temple. Dan Zeng, a monk in charge of explanation, said that the main hall of Jokhang Temple was enshrined with a 12 year old figure of Sakyamuni, who was brought into the snow covered plateau by Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, and is now respected by all sects of Tibetan Buddhism. The visiting guests learned the tradition of "clockwise turning sutras" of Tibetan Buddhism on the spot, and walked around the 12 year old Buddha statue of Sakyamuni to salute. At the Jokhang Temple Square, guests also saw many believers kowtow their heads towards the Buddha. Nima, a believer from Batang, Sichuan, told China News Agency that this year is his third visit to Lhasa to pay homage to Buddha. "He drove along the Sichuan Tibet Line and plans to return to Batang after the 'Saga Dawa' is over. The picture shows a monk from Jokhang Temple in Lhasa offering his Hada to a visiting guest. It is reported that Chinese and foreign guests arrived at the "Snowy Jiangnan" Linzhi on May 16th by plane. The group visited the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, the Menba Village, the Southeast Tibetan Cultural Heritage Museum, and the Second Primary School of Linzhi City. On May 18th, they took the high-speed train "Plateau Revitalization" to start their trip to Lhasa. Venezuelan Ambassador to China Jovradar said in an interview with China News Agency reporters that this trip is his first visit to Tibet. "In the past few days, we have visited some schools and museums, and seen students learn and inherit Tibetan culture." He said that the Chinese government's protection of Tibetan traditional culture is impressive. (End) (Reporter Jiang Feibo) (Xinhua News Agency)
