Everything is Sacred in Tibet



We passed by a beautiful river. I am learning everything in Tibet is sacred, each river, each lake, each hill, each mountain is sacred. This river had a beautiful scenic backdrop. I was told by Lang that in this river, when Tibetans cannot afford funeral ceremony, they send their deceased down the river. So no one eats the fish because they believe the fish eat their deceased loved ones. So our driver told us, those who sell fish along the road for meals are not Tibetans and that we are not stopping for fish meals. We did pull over to walk on the sand banks off the river to enjoy the beauty.
