Tibet II, roundtrip from Gyatse via Shygatse to Sakya

A video report of our roundtrip through Tibet.

From monasteries to the pilgrims.
From the beautiful deep blue lakes to the high mountains.
From the nomads to the yaks.

An breathtaking beautiful country with it proud and brave inhabitants that keep the Buddhist values and rich Tibetan culture and traditions alive despite heavy repression.

Part two brings us from the old city of Gyatse via Shygatse with the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery founded in 1447 by the 1st Dalai Lama to Sakya ("pale earth"). Sakya derives from the unique grey landscape of Ponpori Hills
in southern Tibet near Shigatse, where Sakya Monastery, the first monastery of this tradition, and the seat of the Sakya School was built by Khon Konchog Gyalpo (1034–1102) in 1073.
