Exploring the Secrets of Tibetan Wensang: A Soul Dialogue Across Time and Space.

Weisang - a mysterious and charming traditional custom of the Tibetan people. Opening the Wei Sang is like opening a door to the mysterious plateau world. Every wisp of rising mulberry smoke tells a thousand-year-old story. When you step into the Tibetan area, the unique scent with a faint fragrance of pine branches will always linger around your nose inadvertently. Following the smell, you can see Tibetan compatriots performing the煙桑 ceremony. The practice of burning pine, cypress branches, barley and other objects to create thick smoke is used to convey prayers and respect to the gods of heaven and earth. In the sunny morning, the Lagari Snow Dragon Manor Resort holds a煙桑 ceremony every Friday. The morning light casts a golden gauze over the earth. The Tibetan staff members are dressed in traditional Tibetan robes. Time has left its mark on their faces, but it cannot hide the pious light in their eyes. They held a handful of fresh pine and cypress branches with crystal dewdrops hanging on the branches, like treasures given by nature. Beside him were bowls of pure white barley and tsampa. Brother Zhaxi slowly put the pine and cypress branches into the stone mulberry stove, just like gently waking up a sleeping old friend. Next, add a handful of tsampa, a few grains of barley, and a small lump of butter. In an instant, the flames leaped up and embraced the offerings. The pine branches crackled in the fire, as if they were cheering enthusiastically or whispering to the gods. After a while, mulberry smoke began to rise. It was a soft wisp at first, and slowly gathered into white clouds, drifting slowly towards the blue sky☁️. Every step is done carefully and meticulously, muttering to oneself. The scripture-like chanting, with its ancient rhythm, travels through mountains and rivers, drifting between heaven and earth. Although I didn't understand every word, I could truly feel the sincerity and awe. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sounds of wind, fire, and the prayers of Tibetan friends could be heard. At that moment, time seemed to have stopped, and all the troubles of the world were isolated by the mulberry smoke. This煨桑 is not just a simple ceremony, there is a profound cultural heritage behind it. In Tibetan culture, mulberry smoke is the "telephone line" connecting the mortal world and heaven. Tibetans use it to report the trivialities of life and express their wishes to various gods such as the mountain god, the god of war, and the god of wealth, praying for good weather, prosperity of people and livestock, and good harvests. Moreover, this custom has been passed down for thousands of years, "running" all the way from the ancient Tubo Dynasty, carrying the memories and beliefs of ancestors, like a tough rope, tightly maintaining the heritage of Tibetan culture. Look at the selection of materials for the steamed mulberry, there is a lot of attention to detail! Pine and cypress are evergreen and have strong vitality, symbolizing the endless vitality of family and faith; barley is a gift from the earth, nourishing life and representing the hope of a good harvest. Offering these is to share the beauty of life with the gods. When the hotel is performing the Weisang ceremony, our Tibetan friends will warmly invite everyone to join in. Follow their instructions and experience it with respect, and you will surely gain special feelings. Tibetan煩桑 is like a wordless epic written on the plateau, engraved with the Tibetan people's awe of nature and yearning for a better life.
