long life remains on. these cull making women are singing one of the world's most famous put just mantras of the shade of a tree the oldest even symbol. the words are in the historical indian language of sanskrit. account makes of kept up shall manic beliefs in the spirits of nature since ancient times. i am assessed as learned about buddhism all roaming mongolia steps. i first saw the ritual of make an offering still our homeland and our home when i was a child my parents informed the ritual and so did their parents. it is a heathen right but it has parallels with buddhism. it is performed each year in

and early spring and in autumn. in also make offerings to the fire we ask for a mild winter so that nobody suffers not even the animals. and of course we say what is prayers to her of war and natural calamities across the world. one sacred personality of cow make history is so gun. he is known by many titles a white old man the master and protector of the step and the patron saint of nomads . even though his teachings are rooted in sherman is a statue of him stands outside europe's largest buddhist temple called the golden abode of the shock your moonie order this sixty three metre tall building and comically as capital l. a star can be seen from any point in the city.

of the grand temple can accommodate a huge number of people the press ever says and grand festivals it attracts tourists and put ists from all over the world to come yes come. to that and monks from the good med ministry in india come to come here to attend an international festival. several days before the opening ceremony they begin creating a sound mandela one of the sacred traditions of put his teachings. the sandman dollar is a palace that may serve as a temporary abode for an enlightened. colored marble sound as applied to the canvas from a cone shaped chain. this tibetan form of spiritual art is widely recognized across

the world. energy and good will be among dollar of thirteen million one turkey day it seems i love to see people attending the festival being motivated by the prospect of coming face to face with a mandela and i'm going to see them on dollar they'll say all survivor i'm going to accumulate merits i'll try to achieve a yemen talky state of compassion under lights in minutes and i'll try to help all living creatures in my homeland and across the world achieve the stated. when i was a child each time i looked at the map i thought my home and was too tiny but now it seats a vast country with endless steps. because i think people's way of life primarily depends on where they live. the stamp is the best place for nomads. only kids coming here is such a big country that call of it rests against the sea. but amazingly it means that

cal makes the spend nearly all their time on the plains a pretty good at catching fish. then a good day hello can i go with you sure jump on. kalmykia southeast the volga delta close to the town of lagaan a narrow channel links the solti lowlands overgrown with bull rushes to the caspian sea. boats with homemade wooden cabins probably out in the open water. fishermen live here during the summer and autumn they spend five months a year at sea many miles from family and friends. strong arabs and flows in the caspian sea make for drastic changes in water level they form underwater sandbags and thick sediment long life boats like this one are the best form of transport and

these hazardous parts. of the fisherman have a hard job to do a cow make net is shaped like a long round chest with several meshes made a fine metal netting. quite often the nets catch seaweed as well as fish. only someone with a good deal of experience a little more border poked with low sides and keep his balance. these are small fry so we release them what's a very even this one is too small. this is no good either would you do it on wawrinka. this car is ok i'll keep it by my two or three hundred kilo load of fish is a good carriage it will fetch a handsome price at the market one section of

the black earth nature reserve and county queues north west is a great interest to ornithologists. the overflow and manage river empties into the lake managed good deal there are no fisherman here because the water contains so much salt that fish cannot survive in it. this marshal and is a protected area of coming here it has been given international status birds reign supreme here. the archipelago was a stopping point on the ground migration path for birds halfway between europe and asia dozens of species gather here in the autumn any attempt to approach them will fail. the birds know only too well how to keep at a distance they can be spotted only with the help of good optical instruments what

you also see for why the birds stop over here is the way it is one reason is that they will not be disturbed at all nesting and secondly the nature reserve is going to call ranges in this is with. one of the most remarkable animals of kalmykia is the saigon until its trunk right nose is a distinguishing feature of the stock a resident at the steps researchers haven't yet figured out its function. because there are three theories concerning it of one says the nose filters out the dry dust kicked up by the heard. others say that it is an excellent cooling system that helps fend off the scorching sun that if you put your third suggests that cider uses this kind of nose make a peculiar glaring sound during mating with. alexander

but my of watches saigon and celebs on the step for several hours a day he works for the republic's wildlife research institute which is situated well away from populated areas the institute is focused on protecting the european population of saigon antelopes. well with the dishes which are as someone working here i know that side has have different tempers just as humans do some of them are more agile than others i would say one of them here is too energetic we call new yorker is always kicking a ball and overturning it it kicks up a fuss because he thinks we don't give him enough food what a bastard here on the other hand is a well behaved animal entering his pen and feeding him no problem at all a small seigel herd lives some breeds in a special enclosure under human protection each year scores of healthy adults are

released into the wild for example and always into the group and the fact that the saga has not been thoroughly studied yet is simply because it's hard to catch this animal. only recently have researchers started taking an interest in the antelope but when so far they have only drawn plenary findings to keep a room. with two days to go before the ground buddhist festival in alice star volunteers are preparing the temples and tyria for the rituals they are even entrusted with the honor of filling the boarders bowl of arms after the festival these twelve canonical images of the founder of put ism will be sent to small rural town halls and comically. seventeen year old alina by a goes to an ordinary secular school in alice stark whenever she has time to spare she comes to the temple to help the monks in france has brought me here i was

ashamed for something i did in the past but not anymore i have a sense that by giving a helping hand here i have made amends who aided by karen has become queen. that's a bet in months put the finishing touches on the yamantaka sandman dollar. in accordance with tradition people walk around the palace clockwise from the whole process is believed to give as many blessings to people as the number of grains of sand that went into its creation. art connoisseurs term such works symbolic obstructionism to worshippers among dollar is sacred and is only open to view on rare occasions. in accordance with boris custom the man dollar will be destroyed in a ceremony that will conclude the festival. of

heels in my journey is in its third day. of the goodness traditions and all prayers at any time in any place even on the move and meditation is best done out in the open. i have no problem with the sloan poplar yes it's a human symbol rather than a buddhist object of worship but how it has been able to survive the calixto is a mystery to me. of wisdom as a rule i pray at sunset or the sake of all living creatures the ones that make each day be more fortunate for them than the last.

well to the. mayor and more mouths to feed but where will the food come from can science provide the answers the future of food under the microscope. we've got the future covered. for sure is that so much allaah people at my period will dance it all we're trying to fix what's next for the occupy movement across the u.s. after police use strong arm tactics to disperse protesters should the movement seek a way to join the. the international buddhist festival in kalmykia has brought together tourists and worshippers from india mongolia thailand and other countries bury cuz it is an american doctor and personal physician to his holiness the dalai lama. he lives in

the indian town of sala where he gives medical assistance to the needy. there the locals call him by the name venerable this is not barry's first visit to kill me. buddhism in comic is different than good ism in other parts of the world you know during his very difficult seventy years it was they nearly lost their culture completely and now they're reviving it and you can feel this revival for example i go to japan a lot in there they have a buddhist culture a buddhist history and many of the people say they're buddhists but when you ask them much about buddhism they don't know anything and you ask them where do they turn in their lives are in trouble and usually they turn to work or money but here they turn to the temple to the teachers and that's a big difference for. the temple is open to worship isn't told us to like even jewing preparations for ground festivals. it is the most sacred place europe's

only buddhist republic and the main attraction of kalmykia it's capital some are brought here by religion of those a curious to see its magnificence interior traditionally nearly all visitors walk around the temple clockwise to pay their respects to the goldeneye meet a statue of a shock. religion was frowned upon in soviet times i was just a little boy back then my grandmother taught me how to pray in secret in candlelight i folded my hands said prayer several times and bowed to the small figurine of the buddha after today any kalmia is free to enter the majestic temple as a philosophy and lifestyle is good islam is intertwined with the history and ethnicity of our people. steeply it was in

caesar's ones when the stamp locals like saying that people there are guided by the devil. to live sometimes you realize that you're going around in circles but you can do anything about it. if you don't take a time out there in the stir you may get lost. in the muscles or what after all domestic animals like cows and sheep and camels either do somehow find their way back to their pens. to hump camels have helped man survive in the sparse region for centuries extreme heat and freezing cold cannot stop them. grazing on green pastures is not vital all these councils need is wormwood and thorny plants which are found in step. camels are not put off by brackish filthy water they can even do without it for

several days. of camels are lived side by side with us ever since the appearance of the first comic settlements the best animals from an economic point of view people can live off their for milk and meats camels can easily survive in this environment the. shepherds used to bring camels close to their camps for the night this was so they didn't have to search for them the following morning or cow mix untrusted the job to boys and young men all says are scared of camels if a man bridled his horse in front of a herd of camels he would rest assured that his steed would not let him down in battle it has been a long time since carmex last went to war but the tradition of boys being sent to herd camels into enclosures lives on. an old

cow mick proverb sais that to weapons the nomads best friend. cal mick settled down a long time ago but in every village here a craftsman specializing in whip making can still be found georgiev nanda share of learned the handicraft from his father he teaches the art of whip grading at the local school in his spare time he works at his courtyard workshop and line with an old cow mick custom he hardly ever takes off his cap and then there are some of the traditional cows is an important part of cullman attire . my mother urged me to keep my cab by my side even when i went to bed and fourteen thirty seven governor calgon take me instructed the. stairs to first turn their caps with a red tassel as a mark of distinction from other tribes that technique. hides

tiring is an important part of the whip making process today like hundreds of years ago cows milk is used to soften the skins the hides are kept in a warm place for several days afterwards the hair is completely removed cut only strong elastic hides are used for making whips dodgy as in the habit of making whips at sunset. dusk in the old days loria nomads to make sure their most important weapon was in order a robust whip called amalia georgie receives the bulk of the quest for whips from both professional jockeys and local shepherds. true long all cattle raising nomads used whips mainly to keep cattle moving issue during a comet which is different in that it consists of several sections making it more

effective because on that also it looks like a braid rather than a pattern something that the cows are whip has for example here in washington. there is a saying in kalmykia a man would only put his with a side to prove his skill and unarmed combat. on weekends many people leave towns and villages to attend local fairs for additional wrestling fights are a regular feature of such events. the rules are simple to win contestants need to force any part of their opponent's body to the ground going for the legs is not allowed but the combatants are allowed to grab the trousers of the south. up until the eighteenth century kalmuck wrestling was a rigorous martial art fight has frequently caused heavy injuries to one another i today it is a national sport practiced mostly by professional judo west and both freestyle and

classic restless. after the end about whatever is required to perform a dance otherwise the audience will not recognise his victory such as the comic tradition. i. am. i was born in this time and lived there for fifteen years. in rome i like it here mostly because it's my hometown. but otherwise i feel uncomfortable in a city jammed with crowds and motivators. at that world is alien to me and with the people and are all risen a hurry. it has been that constant desire for a good house car job food and clothes makes many good nor there in a world. where i believe therefore that such place is

a perfectly ok sions for temples so that people can find spiritual balance that. the monks from various countries attending the festival offer that pratt's. young ten blood boil has undertaken a long journey for the opportunity to join the. chorus of voices reading output is text is interlaced with the sound of tibetan drums cymbals and trumpets. and. it is all part of a sacred ritual to remove obstacles in the way of spiritual development and light and went welfare and peace of mind for everybody taking part. in.

the temples main hole is packed to capacity during prayer as the monks recite theirs and it's a baton language to feel an attendance understand. but this doesn't in the ordinary tourists taking part in the ritual in their own fashion. it's. candlelight to dusk signals the start of the festivals most colorful with everybody offering light to the boredom. this ceremony has been organized by monks from thailand. the papal lantern was they brought from home a lifted by the hotseat produced by the flames. nobody can launch one

such lump sum single handed they're designed in such a way that the act involves for as many people as possible. anybody that launches a mountain is paying homage to the shock the movie put it on a cleansing that calm the dog and that's when a tree so as to reach spiritual problems it's. played with the road very very happy but it's also most due to the wonderful ceremony. it was indeed a beautiful advance but i was truly happy when i saw and felt a multitude of people praying for peace around the world. you know.

all.
