Yulong Ratso, also known as Xinluhai. At an altitude of 4,040 meters, at the foot of Queer Mountain, in the territory of Dege County, it is the largest glacial final moraine barrage lake on the mainland. After turning over queer mountain, you can see a clear lake, quietly nestled at the foot of the snowy mountain, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, shortcomings of popularity, a bit of fairy.

The blue water reflects the blue sky, the white clouds lining the strange stones, the green trees surrounding the snowy mountains... The quiet beauty purifies the soul. In addition to this quiet beauty, the most profound thing that remains in my heart is the visit to the living Buddha.

A group of 3 of us, led by two guides (not really guides, to avoid misunderstanding, quan and so called), rode along the lake to the depths, and soon found the place where the living Buddha practiced, a cliff slope at the foot of a mountain on the lakeside.

The living Buddha offered us hada at the foot of the mountain, and after we bowed down and thanked each other, greeted each other, and the living Buddha took us to his place of practice.

In April on the plateau, we are still wearing winter clothes, but the living Buddha is barefoot and short-sleeved.

The fluffy and messy hair and the dark and old monk's clothes must be far from the living Buddha imagined by ordinary people.

We probably climbed to a height of less than 100 meters and went up to the ashram of the living Buddha on the cliff. It is a dilapidated wooden hut with a simple isolation of the eating and living areas.

The guide brought a thermos and poured a bowl of hot water for each of us, but it was black and black. When I was in a daze, I told us that this is the soup medicine that the living Buddha himself boiled, which can dispel disasters and diseases, and it is one of the reasons why the living Buddha's body is strong and hardy. I was skeptical, but I was also bold enough to drink it.

The Living Buddha took us on a tour of his Qing meditation environment. A cliff engraved with mantras and some colorful characters, the magic seems to be its source.

After the visit, we sat on two wooden benches, listening to the guides' exchanges with the living Buddha, and occasionally they would translate them for us, probably some kind of self-cultivation and so on.

Before leaving, we offered Hada back, gently held it next to the wooden house, and offered 200 yuan of incense to each person, not asking for anything, just expressing our respect for the practitioners in our hearts.

Bidding farewell to the living Buddha and descending the cliff, a guide suddenly shouted happily: "Oh, where is it?" We hurriedly looked in the direction of his fingers, and it was the white yak of the new road sea that had been told to us earlier, and it was looking at us curiously.
