DERGE, China —
A dozen Tibetan men in aprons sit in pairs in short chairs, face to face.
Each pair is bent on a thin rectangular block of wood and works in the sun
Floor rooms open to the courtyard.
Their manual work was quick.
They do the same thing over and over again, several times per minute: a person painted red or black ink on the block, carved in Tibetan and religious images.
Then, his partner neon put a thin sheet of white paper on the building block, bent lower, and rolled a roller on it.
A few seconds later, he pulled out the paper and left it to dry.
This bending is the act of paying tribute to the Buddha, said Pema Chujen, a Tibetan woman who led a group of Han Chinese tourists to visit the monastery.
I stood behind the tour and walked in two games
A week of road travel through the region of Tibet.
\"They do this every day,\" she said . \".
\"This is only the belief in their hearts.
Of course, it is good to give Buddha a supply with a lot of money, but it is more faithful to make a supply with your body, mouth and mind.
\"So, spent a typical afternoon in the mountainous center of the Kham region in one of the world\'s most respected institutions in Tibet, Dege pakhang, or the print Lama.
On the map of China, it is located in the far west of Sichuan province, passing through Cho La, a dizzying gateway 16,600 feet kilometers away.
In the town of Dege, the date of media coverage is 1729, attracting pilgrims from all over the Tibetan plateau.
Its walls are painted in red and its roofs are decorated with golden Buddhist icons.
The printing press is a manifestation of the sacred tradition and is a place to preserve the Tibetan language, although the government lacks support for the immersive Tibetan language
Language education on the plateau.
Pema says it has more than 320,000 wooden print blocks averaging more than the history of 260, and Pema is a volunteer to clean up Abbey items and guide visitors.
The monastery also houses Buddhist scriptures, including 830 classic scriptures and more than ancient Tibetan manuscripts, she said.
Chokyi Tenpa Tsering, founder of the monastery, accepted the work of the Tibetan Buddhist school.
He\'s open-
It\'s like the ocean where all rivers contain water, \"she said.
In addition to trying to preserve the old neighborhood, the printing house has been making new neighborhoods since the 1980 s.
In ten years, it is expected to have 400,000 blocks, Pema said.
The print block is built in 13 steps by Red birchwood.
In the early days, the original wood had to be soaked in the feces for half an houryear.
Pema states that materials that do not crack or break during this period are subsequently made into printed blocks.
Craftsmen use a herbal solution that repels mice and insects.
The printing business employs about 60 people.
Despite sign the low salary, these people have been here for an average of 20 years, Pema said.
Every day, they print about 2,500 sheets of paper on both sides, collected as Buddhist scriptures, and distributed throughout the Tibetan plateau.
At its height, the media hired more than 500 people, almost all of whom were monks from the nearby Gongchen Temple.
Nowadays, printers are all laymen.
The monastery is Warren in the hallway and in the room.
On the third floor, several men sat in a small, dark room with wooden boards in their hands.
Here, they made simple Tangka, great hanging with Buddhist images.
Tangka is tied to a rope, showing the popular aspect of the Pantheon: Sakyamuni Buddha sitting, touching the fingers of the Earth with one hand;
The medicine Buddha with a bowl;
Mahakala is a fierce protector of God, manifested in painting as a blue, multi-armed, fangs demon.
In a corner of the room, a householder sat there discussing the text with one of the printers.
A few feet away, a tall Tibetan man wearing a black Arc\'teryx jacket pointed out the items in the room to a friend.
He is a well-known doctor and traditional medicine advocate, Chime Dorje, who runs a clinic in the city center.
He said the monks had run a clinic. neon
Now he and others have inherited the tradition.
Like the printing process here, the practice of Tibetan medicine can survive under the arrival of Mao Zedong era and quasi-eramarket economy.
\"There is a saying that Tibetan medicine contains a lot of mercury and lead, but in fact its composition is normal,\" he told me . \".
Some theoretical studies have also proved that Tibetan medicine is scientific.
\"Outside, the pilgrims walked around the building and completed either the kora or the sacred track.

\"So, spent a typical afternoon in the mountainous center of the Kham region in one of the world\'s most respected institutions in Tibet, Dege pakhang, or the print Lama.
On the map of China, it is located in the far west of Sichuan province, passing through Cho La, a dizzying gateway 16,600 feet kilometers away.
In the town of Dege, the date of media coverage is 1729, attracting pilgrims from all over the Tibetan plateau.
Its walls are painted in red and its roofs are decorated with golden Buddhist icons.
The printing press is a manifestation of the sacred tradition and is a place to preserve the Tibetan language, although the government lacks support for the immersive Tibetan language
Language education on the plateau.
Pema says it has more than 320,000 wooden print blocks averaging more than the history of 260, and Pema is a volunteer to clean up Abbey items and guide visitors.
The monastery also houses Buddhist scriptures, including 830 classic scriptures and more than ancient Tibetan manuscripts, she said.
Chokyi Tenpa Tsering, founder of the monastery, accepted the work of the Tibetan Buddhist school.
He\'s open-
It\'s like the ocean where all rivers contain water, \"she said.
In addition to trying to preserve the old neighborhood, the printing house has been making new neighborhoods since the 1980 s.
In ten years, it is expected to have 400,000 blocks, Pema said.
The print block is built in 13 steps by Red birchwood.
In the early days, the original wood had to be soaked in the feces for half an houryear.
Pema states that materials that do not crack or break during this period are subsequently made into printed blocks.
Craftsmen use a herbal solution that repels mice and insects.
The printing business employs about 60 people.
Despite the low salary, these people have been here for an average of 20 years, Pema said.
Every day, they print about 2,500 sheets of paper on both sides, collected as Buddhist scriptures, and distributed throughout the Tibetan plateau.
At its height, the media hired more than 500 people, almost all of whom were monks from the nearby Gongchen Temple.
Nowadays, printers are all laymen.
The monastery is Warren in the hallway and in the room.
On the third floor, several men sat in a small, dark room with wooden boards in their hands.
Here, they made simple Tangka, great hanging with Buddhist images.
Tangka is tied to a rope, showing the popular aspect of the Pantheon: Sakyamuni Buddha sitting, touching the fingers of the Earth with one hand;
The medicine Buddha with a bowl;
Mahakala is a fierce protector of God, manifested in painting as a blue, multi-armed, fangs demon.
In a corner of the room, a householder sat there discussing the text with one of the printers.
A few feet away, a tall Tibetan man wearing a black Arc\'teryx jacket pointed out the items in the room to a friend.
He is a well-known doctor and traditional medicine advocate, Chime Dorje, who runs a clinic in the city center.
He said the monks had run a clinic.
Now he and others have inherited the tradition.
Like the printing process here, the practice of Tibetan medicine can survive under the arrival of Mao Zedong era and quasi-eramarket economy.
\"There is a saying that Tibetan medicine contains a lot of mercury and lead, but in fact its composition is normal,\" he told me . \".
Some theoretical studies have also proved that Tibetan medicine is scientific.
\"Outside, the pilgrims walked around the building and completed either the kora or the sacred track.

The temple is one of three pilgrimage sites in the Tibetan world, each representing the body, mouth and thoughts of the Buddha, Pema said.
Sonam, a tourist, said he saw more traditional clothing in Derge than anywhere else in the area.
He pointed to the women who turned around the monastery, their hair wrapped around coral and turquoise.
\"They have money,\" he said . \"
The chanting originated from the speaker.
On the Hill to the east of the monastery, three red-

Even if the scenes around the monastery evoke ancient customs, there is no such thing as this town. Modern five-
Along the river, the walls of the valley are lined with multi-storey buildings.
The yellow construction crane is faintly visible above the skyline, a typical sight of large and small cities in China.

Katya boufetrier, a scholar studying Tibet, gave a speech at the hanute park in Paris. She said that when she visited the town last year
The last time she came here was thirty years ago.
The monastery was in poor condition in 1985, she said.
But after years of the devastating Cultural Revolution, the printing machine began to operate.
\"The operation of the printing plant is similar today to that of 1985,\" said boufertmere . \".
\"How many pages they print every day is amazing.
\"This can sometimes explain that the printing quality is not good,\" she added . \".
But tradition still exists.
In the afternoon, I visited a monastery building uphill from the printing press, and the monks held a law meeting, which they held every few weeks.
A monk walked up and down the crowded courtyard, splashing water on the worshippers.
