Shoulders of once upon a time in the Sun-the Himalayas

When the fabric shop small business owners with the Lama Raja to us, he looks better than my previous fantasies of Charles, the wizard looks like there is still a big gap.

In front of him, 30 open, dark hair is not high, I feel like the fellow in the vicinity of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Raja explains: "this is your guide laoshibajiao Lama!" he stood there, not naturally rubbing hands, a shy. “Hi,I’m Tom. Nice to meet u! "hand grip, the hand is between the communication to a sincere and strength, which will have a good opinion and confirmation.

At the beginning of time, Lama always silent, silently behind our large package walked ahead, silently at stone edge with a washed white little handkerchief Khan, silently sitting and watching us to dinner and laugh; we invited him to participate in, he smiled and walked away; we handed to beef jerky and candy, he is always the rare access to, and are quietly moved into his little shoulders bag; each time in a small Inn settled, he quietly took a bath water for we mention bathroom door; the night before bed, he gently remind us to lock the door to prevent harassment, and own is near our room or shop at fall at the door.

Gradually, the Lama was friendly, we are also very happy to share with him, nothing major hire, ice will open on this slowly.

Lama was born in Pokhara mountain village, a lot of brothers and sisters, ranked four of his own small is the home of the main labour, fortunately, is it a boy, in education very popular Nepal mountain area, parents or managed to send him to Pokhra town reading. Nepal mountain made subject to the influence of Tibetan Buddhism, Lama began looking at the ear is smoked, and Buddhism have a deep respect and interest, then, 20 years old and he left his hometown waltzing back to the heart of the Holy Land, Lhasa, on the other side of the Himalayas. This settlement is 7 years. This 7 years for a Lama, Nepal mountain youth, really missed the best time of the marriage marry. Ask them why not stay in Lhasa?! "he just said to his family, said it was so quiet, calm we can't bear to go ask. He laughed myself yet still preserve not dying, so also not ordination. Finally he returned to his hometown, whatever the wizard and beifu, shoulder, step and sweat is meager income support at the mountains of the House and old parents.

Once intermittent on foot, we watched as art as the Valley is the exclamation, would be in the mountains make a villas have Endowment the! turned and asked Lama, equivalent to RMB million in Pokhara can what as?! Lama confused and said: "in Pokhara city, might be able to build a building.

In my hometown can buy the next village is. ..... "Suddenly, he smiled," that in Shanghai, $ can doing?! "and" buy a kitchen!!! "We lament," kitchen kitchen?!?! just a kitchen?! "Lama Harlow shook his head, face and surprised. Later, once and Lama speaking of Shanghai, Lama is always available from us of Chinese Whispers: "aloud! kitchen kitchen!!". "Kitchen" seems to have become a value of weights, a concrete and astronomical images.

Maybe there was a spiritual experience, maybe the day see frequent China faces, Lama on Himalayan North of the great country with great curiosity.

He was politely probe, let us teach him speak Chinese to its future to the people when the wizard provides a convenient. For fun, we gladly promised Lama Sa took turns to his teacher, as early as the mid day three times five words, five words. At first thought only joking, Lama or seriously, from then on, each time a break after a meal in the US, he will come with little book. Houses a extremely seriously, mouth of notes, just bitter that "infants", Nepal's tongue is estimated that can't play volume infants, see Lama holding red in the face, hold their necks "music! music!", fortunately, after a meal, or we sa really. ..... Gradually, the Lama was also frequently crashing a few decent infants of Mandarin. Once on the met two Taiwan sister, his sentence "you?! go?" should let their amazed, but this time Lama is excited to go to the mountain, laugh like mountain wildflowers in full bloom.

«The Lama's faithful so that we in the mountains on foot is full of fun and dancing.

But really we Lama from heart of gratitude is the suffocating in four hours. When we insist on drilling in the white car back to Pokhara, I'm so appreciate the Lama the nerves and puzzled eyes. He blows your intestines and stomach, almost limited English to try to clarify the situation was extremely dangerous and unpredictable consequences, but finally he decided to end as we got into the car. Want to know that for him, this involves circling, not just his way home, but also its future living home. Once he got into Maoist blacklist, may think he's leading the way to the Pokhara after backpack Valley will be what kind of consequences. .....

That night, in the common experience of life and death, we at Pokhara neon Street mutual good night, holding with Lama pair also bears sweating hands, I once seemingly ordinary hiking, I suddenly realized the growing scarcity of "sincere" and the meaning of the word.

Say goodbye to the Lama, set foot on the way home.

Pokhara in early spring, the sun shines in the shoulders, warm cozy. When we go to backpack the hotel lobby, he found the Lama was waiting there early. Time, both words, choke. Leave a contact address, embracing the Lama can't shake of the shoulder, promised a return to Pokhara, then followed him on foot, then went to his rich orange hometown. ..... Suddenly think of LaMa was particularly fond of my little steel Cup. Unpack the plug-in, the Cup into his hand. Lama orbital, murmured: "I will use it till the end of my life!". ".

Almost a year, and now I sit in front of the window, looking out of the cold and windy, dead leaves, winter warm mud on my shoulders, back, recall that Nepal in spring, and that of walking on carrying large packages, our smiling Lama. .....

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry

Sunshine on the water looks so lovely

Sunshine almost always makes me high

If i had a tale that i could tell you

I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile

If i had a wish that i could wish for you

I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while

。。。。。。
