Walking in Tibetan inhabited areas,you will often encounter a number of pilgrims prostrating themselves on the roads to holy places. When we see them on the ground-prostrating,touching their foreheads,clapping their hands-and hear the echoing sound produced by their wooden gloves...our hearts fill with emotion.Apart from Tibetans,there may not be any other group of people in the world who are so pious.The extreme religiosity of Tibetans is driven from the depth of their hearts to motivate them to take several months,even years,to prostrate themselves on long journeys in order to reach their much dreamed-of holy destinations.Observing their shining faces,we do not see their hardships or suffering or depression,but rather we see the brightness,strength,insight and wishes of their faith.Above all, there is strength,the power of faith!
