The day's first rays of light cast onto Qinghai Mountains of Sichuan ProvincePrayer flags flap in the winds that sweep through the plains of Tibet. It was believe the winds brought forth life on earth






Evergreen trees mark the hilly, remote route from Cheng Du to Yu Shu, to Nang Qian

If you have a religious faith, then pray or meditate according to your religion. If your mind is still clear, reflect on the fact that birth, sickness, old age and death are parth of every human life and are inescapable. Recongnizing this and accepting it fully will help you to grow old more peacefully.

You cannot be a good mountaineer, however great your ability, unless you are cheerful and have the spirit of comradeship

The only aggressive attitude that is acceptable is recognizing one’s own talent and working with unshakeable determination, saying to oneself, “I, too, am capable and even if nobody helps me, I will succeed.”
