Blessed with Tourists: The Borderlands of Religion and Tourism in San Antonio

Pilgrimage in Tibet

In this chapter, the author draws the attention to one rarely visited but very interesting temple in Lamayuru: the Chenrezik Lhakhang, rising by the side of a thicket of willows in the northern section of the monastic compound, between the monastery kitchen and the small monks' school. The main feature in the hall is a large eleven-headed and thousand-armed Chenrezik statue. He also discusses explicit illustrations of the Bar do thos grol chen mo . From the Bar do thos grol chen mo , one learns that from the moment of death the deceased will have to pass through three intermediate states, during which he will have a series of experiences that will bring him, after 49 days, to a new incarnation in one of six possible existences: as a god, a demi-god, a human being, an animal, a hungry ghost, or a hell-being. Keywords: Bar do thos grol chen mo ; Chenrezik Lhakhang; Lamayuru; small monks' school
