仰望布达拉宫藏文的老人

2013年4月，两位老人经过布达拉宫外墙，他们正在虔诚地仰望黄色布达拉宫外墙上的藏文。

在藏传佛教信教群众心中，大昭寺的那尊释迦牟尼十二岁等身像是最神圣的朝拜圣迹，而一切佛陀出现人间的标记也都会成为朝佛者朝拜的对象，包括佛塔、佛像、玛尼石、五色经幡、神山圣湖等等。而布达拉宫作为西藏历史上重要的宗教中心，自然成为信教群众顶礼膜拜的地方，即使是一面墙、一个字符。

Old people looking up Tibetan on the wall of Potala Palace

The picture was taken in Apr 2013. The place is wall of the Potala Palace where two elderly people are looking up Tibetan on the yellow wall.

This picture gives a strong sense of beauty as a whole because a few simple colors --red, white, yellow and blue – make viewers feel very soft and smooth. One man is pointing to the Tibetan, the other is looking with deep feelings at the Tibetan on the wall. The screen could evoke viewer’s curiosity of the Tibetan implication.

In the hearts of Tibetan Buddhists, every Buddhism marks including the pagoda, Buddha, colored prayer flags, holy mountain, holy lake, etc. will become the object of worship to Buddha. The Potala Palace, as an important religious center in the history of Tibet, naturally became a scared land where believers worship to every marks, even the wall and the Tibetan on the wall.
