China Meanwhile, the lamas are praying for the repose and quieting of the soul, which is hovering about, desiring to return. Among the Tibetans Every lama carries with him a quantity of written prayers, which he reads or recites, and the oftener they are repeated the greater is their supposed efficacy. Overland through Asia; Pictures of Siberian, Chinese, and Tartar Life But Joro catches the wasp in his hand, and by alternately shutting and opening his hand he causes the lama alternately to lose and recover consciousness.

Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The lama, haltingly at first, spoke to the Curator of his own lamassery, the Such-zen, opposite the Painted Rocks, four months' march away. Kim As the winter is the busiest season in mission work, so it is the great time in which the lamas make house-to-house peregrinations and attend at festivals.

Kim At the time of the variable new year, the lamas and nuns retire to the monasteries, and dulness reigns in the valleys. Among the Tibetans At six o'clock Yvette and I left camp with the lama and rode northeast. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' Dropping behind the crest of the rise, I directed the lama to ride toward them from behind while we swung about to cut them off. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' As soon as the tents were up Yvette and I rode off, accompanied by the lama, carrying a bag of traps. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' But the lama strode out, head high in air, and pausing an instant before the great statue of a Bodhisat in meditation, brushed through the turnstiles. Kim It consists chiefly of music and dancing, while the lamas sit in rows, swilling chang and arrack. Among the Tibetans The lama walked away a dozen yards and covered his face with the sleeve of his gown. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' After an hour we returned to the carts—for Yvette was exhausted from excitement—and the lama took her place. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' Our lama had been caught in the city, and it was with difficulty that we were able to obtain his release. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The lama blinked—he could not overtake the situation and Kim lifted up his voice and wept outside the carriage window. Kim The lamas and servants, who had remained respectfully standing, sat down on the floor, and even the Gyalpo became animated. Among the Tibetans I sent the lama in a long circle to get behind the herd, while I crawled a few hundred yards away and snuggled out of sight into an old wolf den. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' I have already told of the great temple on the hill and its clustering lama houses which overlook and dominate the river valley. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The winner was led by two old Mongols to the row of lamas, before whom he prostrated himself twice, and received a handful of cheese. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The lama did not wake till the evening life of the city had begun with lamp-lighting and the return of white-robed clerks and subordinates from the Government offices. Kim There is a doorway from the reception room into the sanctuary, and after a time fully thirty lamas passed in and began service, but the Gyalpo only stood on his carpet. Among the Tibetans The leading lama walks first, then come men with flags, followed by the blacksmith with the drum, and next the corpse, with another man beating a drum behind it. Among the Tibetans During the burning the lamas read in high, hoarse monotones, and the blacksmiths beat their drums. Among the Tibetans Besides the three Chinese we had a little Mongol priest, a yellow lama only eighteen years of age. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The old lady recognized that, as the eyes and the ears of the lama, he was to be propitiated. Kim One, the worshipping of the lamas by the laity, occurs in every village, and lasts from two to three days. Among the Tibetans The lamas depart first, and the blacksmiths, after worshipping the ashes, shout, 'Have nothing to do with us now,' and run rapidly away. Among the Tibetans At the beginning of every one of these operations the presence of lamas is essential, to announce the auspicious moment, and conduct religious ceremonies. Among the Tibetans Since our lama spoke fluent Chinese, he acted as interpreter with the Mongols, and we had no difficulty. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The lama and Kim walked a little to one side; Kim chewing his stick of sugarcane, and making way for no one under the status of a priest. Kim Afterwards the lamas make little balls which are worshipped, and one of the family mounts the roof and invites the neighbours, who receive the balls from the lamas' hands and drink moderately of chang. Among the Tibetans The walls were covered with frescoes of great lamas, and a series of alcoves, each with an image representing an incarnation of Buddha, ran round the temple. Among the Tibetans At least the lama had promised that he would stay with the Raiput woman from Kulu, and the rest was of the smallest importance. Kim It is best to take no chances with religious superstitions, for the lamas do not wait to argue when they are once aroused. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' Let us look,' said the lama, and he led from the white road across the fields; walking into a very hornets' nest of pariah dogs. Kim The reading of these volumes, which consist of Buddhist metaphysics and philosophy, takes five days, and while reading each lama has his chang cup constantly replenished. Among the Tibetans Kim signed almost imperceptibly that matters were in good train, and when the morning toilet was over, Hurree Babu, in flowery speech, came to do honour to the lama. Kim The lama, of course, would no more have parted with his chart to a casual wayfarer than an archbishop would pawn the holy vessels of his cathedral. Kim On the floor sat a frowzy-looking woman, blowing at the fire, and a yellow lama, his saucer hat hidden under its waterproof covering—apparently he was a traveler like ourselves. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The priest recommended him to do so, but insisted that the honour of entertaining the lama belonged to the temple—at which the lama smiled guilelessly. Kim In this temple of Justice the younger lamas spend some hours daily in the supposed contemplation of the torments reserved for the unholy. Among the Tibetans He tried to think of the lama—to wonder why he had tumbled into a brook—but the bigness of the world, seen between the forecourt gates, swept linked thought aside. Kim All Tibet is full of cheap reproductions of the Wheel; but the lama was an artist, as well as a wealthy Abbot in his own place. Kim Had a Mongol seen us, our camp would have been stormed by a mob of frenzied lamas. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' For an hour or more the lama's tam-o'shanter showed like a moon through the haze; and, from all he heard, Kim gathered that the old woman wept. Kim One of the most important of the winter religious duties of the lamas is the reading of the sacred classics under the roof of each householder. Among the Tibetans The men made no motion to divide the plunder till they had seen the lama bedded down in the best room of the place, with Kim shampooing his feet, Mohammedan-fashion. Kim This is the Wheel of Life,' said the lama, 'the same I showed thee in the hut at Ziglaur when the rain fell.' Kim Although the lama never proposed a partnership arrangement, as I thought he might have done, he spent much time about our camp and often brought us bowls of curded milk and cheese. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' But the next time the lama would eat they took care to give him of their best. Kim In the poorer households a classic of but one volume is taken, to lessen the expense of feeding the lamas. Among the Tibetans He drew from his breast a bottle of cheap whisky—such as is sold to explorers at Leh—and cleverly forced a little between the lama's teeth. Kim I remember once when I spoke of the Wheel of Life'—the lama fumbled in his bosom for his latest copy—'she was only curious about the devils that besiege children. Kim However, a half dozen hard-riding Mongol soldiers at once took up the trail of the lama, and the chances are that there will be one less thieving priest before the incident is closed. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' Hurree Babu deferred to these views with enchanting politeness, so that the lama called him a courteous physician. Kim The senior lama offers the first prayers, and lifts the lock which all Tibetans wear at the back of the head, in order to liberate the soul if it is still clinging to the body. Among the Tibetans The lama's knowledge of medicine was, of course, sympathetic only. Kim The lama came to rest on a folded blanket, as Kim went forward with his evening routine. Kim Shortly after daylight the next morning the lama came to our tent to announce that there was a marmot in one of the traps. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' At this Kim, already perplexed by the lama's collapse and foreseeing the weight of the bag, fairly lost his temper. Kim Some of the ashes are taken to the gonpos, where the lamas mix them with clay, put them into oval or circular moulds, and stamp them with the image of Buddha. Among the Tibetans Kim assisted at two or three with grave advice, meant to darken counsel and to show off his wisdom before the lama and the admiring Kamboh. Kim Then they talked of matters secular; but it was noticeable that the lama never demanded any details of life at St Xavier's, nor showed the faintest curiosity as to the manners and customs of Sahibs. Kim With a quick glance about our lama would fix the place in his mind, and dash off on a chase which might carry us back and forth toward every point of the compass. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' Several times in those three years, cast up at the Temple of the Tirthankars in Benares the lama, a little thinner and a shade yellower, if that were possible, but gentle and untainted as ever. Kim Hemis abounds in decorated buildings most picturesquely placed, it has three hundred lamas, and is regarded as 'the sight' of Ladak. Among the Tibetans Then the lama raised his head, and looked forth across them into space and emptiness. Kim All the country of the South is good—a great and a terrible world,' mumbled the lama drowsily. Kim Although the dogs live to a large extent upon human remains, they are also fed by the lamas. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The lama he expects you, because I have demi-offeecially informed him you have passed all your examinations, and will soon obtain Government appointment. Kim While they cut the grain the men chant, 'May it increase, We will give to the poor, we will give to the lamas,' with every stroke. Among the Tibetans All that troubles me is what'll happen if the old beggar-man—' 'Lama, lama, my dear sir; and some of them are gentlemen in their own country.' Kim The lama squatted obediently in a little hollow of the ground not a hundred yards from the hump of the mango-trees dark against the star-powdered sky. Kim Evidently the lamas were at their evening prayers. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' He had dreamed dreams at school of returning to the lama as a Sahib—of chaffing the old man before he revealed himself—boy's dreams all. Kim After death no one touches the corpse but the lamas, who assemble in numbers in the case of a rich man. Among the Tibetans The lama dragged forth his rosary and pulled his huge hat-brim over his eyes. Kim The lama as usual, was deep in meditation, but Kim's bright eyes were open wide. Kim The Mongol began to gesticulate wildly and attempted to pull me with him farther into the crowd of lamas, who also were becoming excited. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' Then he attempted running off to the village where the priest had tried to drug the lama—the village where the old soldier lived. Kim If farther instruction is thought desirable, the boys are sent to the lamas, and even to the schools at Lhassa. Among the Tibetans I tell you, I tell him about the lama everything which Mahbub and the boy have told me. Kim The lama beamed in the background upon his hosts of three years. Kim The lama took the female on his pony, and I strapped the other two on Kublai Khan. Across Mongolian Plains A Naturalist's Account of China's 'Great Northwest' The lama would have been more annoyed than the priest had he known how the bazar letter-writer had translated his phrase 'to acquire merit.' Kim In ordinary illnesses, if butter taken internally as well as rubbed into the skin does not cure the patient, the lamas are summoned to the rescue. Among the Tibetans Maybe thou wilt be such a Sahib as he who gave me these spectacles'—the lama wiped them elaborately—'in the Wonder House at Lahore. Kim The lama watched the ticca-gharri rumble into the compound, and strode off, snuffing between each long stride. Kim |
