Waiting for lover 等待爱郎

在炎炎盛夏,烈日當空的西域地區考察藏傳佛教寺廟,一天來到日喀則二十公里以外的一座寺廟名夏魯寺,此寺廟建於十世紀,後於十三世紀大火之後經過一次重大的修復.

寺裏的壁畫極度精彩和多元化,令人目不暇接

尤其在大殿內那黑漆漆的轉經廊牆上的佛前傳無盡的壁畫上,找到的這幾為輕靠欄杆,等待愛情的尼泊兒士女, 替炎炎盛夏和外面極度強的UV陽光下帶來一股清涼香氣.

即使這一切只盡在看畫人的心中.

In the last months study trip through Tibet, I get to see many nice wall paintings, one detail keep remaining in my mind is this small portion of wall painting found in Shalu Monastery which are depicted in the circumambulatory corridor of the main assembly hall. It's in this Nepalese style called "Newari", this is the painting style representing the works by the craftsmans from the Kathmandu valley. One can identify this style from the Nepalese architecture, the scroll pattern, also the Nepalese people; in this case are these beautiful women looking out from the balcony waiting for their far away lovers. My indian friend said this is a very typical scene of Nepalese or Indian woman. You can feel their imagination through their eye gaze and the breezes through their sleeves. How romantic but yet poetic.
