信仰的角落

“每个人都有他自己的星星，”克林索尔缓缓说，‘每个人都有自己的信仰” ——赫尔曼·黑塞《克林索尔的最后夏天》

"Every man has his own star,"
said Klingsor slowly,
"and every man has his own faith."
——Herman Hesse, “The Last Summer of Clitheroe”-

“我就想要一台小小的电视机，让师傅也能看看西游记”
——《静静的嘛呢石》

"I just want a little TV set so that Master can watch Journey to the West too."
——《The Silent Holy Stones 》

从色达县城往东南方行驶大约20公里，漫山遍野攀爬着的红房子便映入眼帘，这里便是——色达佛学院，也是世界上最大的佛学院。顺着喇荣沟往上前进，先遇见的是存放经书和供奉神佛的白塔子，随后密密麻麻的红房子便顺着山坡铺开，这里听不见世俗的嘈杂，有的只是庄严肃穆的经咒声。在色达的日子很安静，想起那些飘扬着的五色经幡，雨后悬挂在天空中的彩虹，遇见要赶去朝圣的僧人，还想要下一次来色达看看那些传说里的银河。

From the Sedar County to the southeast about 20 kilometres, the mountains climbed the red house will be reflected in the eyes, this is - Sedar Buddhist College, is also the world's largest Buddhist College. Follow the lalong ditch upward, the first encounter is the storage of scriptures and offerings to the gods and Buddha's white pagoda, followed by a dense red house will be spread along the hillside, where you can not hear the world's noise, there are only solemn mantra sound. In the days of Seda is very quiet, think of those fluttering colourful streamers, rainbow hanging in the sky after the rain, meet to rush to the pilgrimage of the monks, but also want to come to Seda next time to see those legends of the Milky Way.

在色达佛学院内部，这里有求学的学生，有年纪大的讲师，有小孩，有在这里工作的藏民，也有外来的游学者，这里充斥着一种杂糅的冲突，外来文化与本土文明的冲突，传统与当下的异化，现实文明与传统宗教的冲撞交融。

Inside the Serta Buddhist Institute, where there are students, older lecturers, children, Tibetans working here, and visiting scholars, there is a mishmash of conflicts, a clash between foreign cultures and local civilisations, an alienation of traditions from the present, and a collision and mingling of real civilisations and traditional religions.

藏区人民信仰的根深蒂固源于历史的积淀，西藏现代文明的传入和根深蒂固的传统文化的碰撞，年轻的孩子开始思考外面的世界和自己的身份认同。在我的镜头下，希望还原真实的藏人的生活——当下藏区的面貌、藏区的人的基本的精神状态；同时能够还原生活中的一些真实的细节。

The deep-rooted beliefs of the Tibetan people stem from the accumulation of history, and the collision between the introduction of modern civilisation and the deep-rooted traditional culture of Tibet, young children begin to think about the outside world and their own identity. Under my camera, I hope to restore the real life of Tibetans - the current outlook of Tibet, the basic spiritual state of Tibetans; and at the same time, to restore some of the real details of life.

跨越传统与现代文化鸿沟的勇气和信念，以及关于我们每一个人的问题——我们是谁？我们将往何处去？对文化认同的描述。

Through the power of images, I would like to bring people to think about the collision between modernity and tradition in Tibet, whether Tibetan people can have the courage and faith to cross the cultural gap between tradition and modernity, and the questions about each one of us - who are we? Where are we going? A description of cultural identity.

这些平静生活中的小矛盾、小冲突、小变化正体现着藏区外来文化与本土文明的冲突，传统与当下的异化。

These small contradictions, conflicts and changes in the calm life are reflecting the conflict between foreign culture and local civilisation, and the alienation between tradition and the present in Tibetan areas.
