高山雪原里的佛教国：既开放又保守,男女都迷恋性器,还流行一夫多妻,佛教徒也不例外！
Deep in the Himalayas There is a place surrounded by mountains A country that seems isolated from the world There are no tall buildings in the city. There is no high-speed subway line People wearing ancient folk costumes Chanting sutras in the morning and making tea in the evening The pace of life seems to be frozen in time 20 years ago It’s hard for you to imagine In this small country with an area of less than 40,000 square kilometers A bowl of noodles costs only two yuan A night in a B&B costs only two yuan Ten dollars is enough to feed a family for a week. This country is called Bhutan A place that looks “very poor” but is known as the “happiest place in the world” It has many nicknames: “The Last Shangri-La” “The cleanest country on earth” Some people also call it “the country that uses penis as mascot” Here The phallic image appears on every house wall, every door lintel, and even every temple hall. The chanting sound Floating between the valleys From sunrise to dusk Never stop Bhutan’s GDP is not high The average annual income per capita is approximately US$3,180 But they never take pride in their wealth. Instead, “happiness” was written into the Constitution As early as 1972 At the age of 17, the fourth-generation king proposed a concept that attracted the attention of the whole world. Gross National Happiness clearly stated “We don’t pursue GDP, we want smiles. ” So, in this country No traffic lights No army And universal medical care is free Children can study for free until high school You don’t have to pay for surgery at the hospital Even cutting down a tree is a more serious crime than stealing a cow. However, behind all this It is a national policy of extreme “self-protection” Bhutan does not accept independent travel Each foreign tourist must pay a “happiness entrance fee” of US$200 per day They say this is “the necessary price to pay for protecting the environment and culture.” They welcome you warmly But I also quietly pull up a threshold behind you How should we understand a society that “seems to be lacking everything”? Yet it is known as the “happiest country”? This plateau country that advocates Buddhism, reveres the penis, rejects noise, and resists modernization Is it a paradise or a carefully constructed illusion? In this issue, we will go to Bhutan together Maybe you can find the answer To understand Bhutan’s present It has to start from the land under its feet and its past history. Bhutan’s full name is “Kingdom of Bhutan” It is a small landlocked country with an area of only 38,394 square kilometers. It borders Tibet in China on three sides and India in the south. It is located in the southeastern foothills of the Himalayas Most of the country is buried in deep mountain valleys with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. Standing in the valley of Bhutan and looking down You can see the forest as far as the eye can see According to the Bhutanese Constitution The forest coverage rate shall not be less than 60% Today, this figure has reached a staggering 72%. Even more incredible is It is the only country in the world with negative carbon emissions. That is to say It absorbs carbon dioxide More than it produces This is a country that refuses to modernize and expand Its capital, Thimphu, has no traffic lights There is not a single railway in the country The villages are connected by rugged mountain roads Villagers still rely on ox carts and feet to move forward Due to the rugged terrain, the construction cost is high The Bhutanese simply chose not to build For them, preserving nature and respecting mountain gods is the most important thing. It is far more meaningful than building a highway. Walking on the streets of Bhutan Suddenly you will think you have traveled back to 20 years ago. There are no flashing neon lights of the city here No morning rush hour traffic jams There is even a sense of “slowing down” in the air In this small plateau country As if everything follows the laws of nature In Bhutan, wearing national costumes is not a custom It’s a legal provision Men must wear knee-length robes called “guo” The sleeves are wide and the waist is tied with a cloth belt Wearing high socks Looks like a noble monk walking in a temple Women wear long skirts called “Kira” Usually paired with a colorful shawl and braided hair Gentle with a sacred solemnity Whether you are in a government office in the capital Thimphu Still in the teaching point in the mountain village People wearing traditional clothes can be seen almost everywhere Students, office workers, vendors, and even airport security personnel All wear their own national costumes according to regulations This policy was initially promoted by the King himself He believes that “national costumes are an extension of national identity. ” On the streets, you can hardly see “trendy brands” and luxury goods. No one wears jeans and short-sleeved shirts on the street This is against public etiquette in Bhutan. Especially near temples or religious festivals It must be neat and decent Bhutanese people attach great importance to clothing Not only in daily life It also reflects their respect for traditional culture. Weddings, festivals, parliament openings Even tourism festivals have strict dress codes. This kind of social atmosphere where “everyone is like a model” Perhaps this is part of the source of their collective confidence. When it comes to cultural confidence, we have to talk about the eating habits of Bhutanese people. One thing must be emphasized: people here love spicy food. It is the spiciness ceiling in Asia This is comparable to Sichuan and Hunan in China. If you think peppers are just for garnish That’s totally wrong. In Bhutan, chili is more than just a seasoning But it is the “main course” Their national dish is called “Chili Cheese Stew” This dish is simple and crude Handfuls of fresh green chilies or dried red chilies Served with local cheese and butter Simmer on low heat until it becomes a paste Then eat it with rice. Foreigners who have just arrived are often defeated at the first sign of trouble. Bhutanese people can swallow it without changing their expression Drying peppers on the roof It is a landscape of Bhutanese villages Whether in town or in the countryside Every household will hang red peppers on the eaves and windowsills Drying in piles Forming a gorgeous “pepper waterfall” In addition to chili, cheese is also the soul of Bhutanese cuisine Potato cheese and mushroom cheese are also common Each has its own version of the “cheese series” Some are more milky, some are more spicy But the common point is: heavy taste Because of Buddhist beliefs Bhutan has long banned slaughter Therefore, meat is extremely scarce Much meat is imported Some people haven’t eaten “fresh pork” for decades. But even so, Bhutanese people still eat to their heart’s content. House architecture in Bhutan It looks like a scene from a fairy tale world. The height limit of urban buildings shall not exceed that of temples Each building has a unified Tibetan style White walls, red eaves, carved window frames The corners of the house are decorated with painted totems Some roofs even have prayer flags flying on them. When the wind blows, the whole house seems to be chanting In rural areas, housing is more primitive Most of them are two-story houses with wooden and stone structures. Some still use thatched roofs The rain is dripping like water, and the cold wind in winter is piercing the bones Despite this, the villagers remain optimistic The most shocking thing is the price In Bhutan’s mountain homestay, a night is only 2 yuan It sounds incredible But for the Bhutanese This is already a business. And those high-end hotels Thousands of yuan a night Exclusively for foreign tourists and wealthy Tibetans Housing approval also pays great attention to environmental protection For example, if you want to build a new house Trees equal to the area of the homestead must be planted as compensation Once the forest is cut down illegally Will face legal consequences more serious than theft Bhutan is the only country in the world without traffic lights. Yes, you heard it right. Even the capital Thimphu has no traffic lights At the intersection in the city center There is only a traffic policeman wearing white gloves standing in the booth Use exaggerated body language to direct traffic Drivers are used to this. Why has such a special life come about? This brings us to Bhutan’s most important culture: religion. In Bhutan, religion is not a private matter It has evolved into a national system Bhutan is a Buddhist country Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism More than 75% of the country’s population is religious Almost every family has a Buddhist shrine. Every village has at least one temple In Bhutan, religion has long been the center of life You walk on the streets of Thimphu You will see little lamas in red robes queuing up on the street to eat noodles. Someone smiled and handed them cheese crackers At the bus stop An old lady holding a prayer wheel and chanting A whole afternoon Temples are more than just religious places It is also an education center, medical center and local administrative center. In many remote mountainous areas The temple is the only “multi-functional service point” There are teachers, doctors, and monks There’s even a radio that broadcasts the news. Especially those religious shrines built on mountain tops It is also the spiritual fortress of Tibetan Buddhism For example, Tiger Cave Temple It hangs on a cliff at an altitude of 3120 meters. According to legend, Guru Padmasambhava once rode a tiger across the valley here. He practiced in seclusion here for three years, three months and three days. Carina Lau and Tony Leung also held their wedding here now All Bhutanese must make a pilgrimage once in their lifetime Even if I carry my child on my back or lean on a stick We must also climb to the top step by step Combine desire with breath Stay on the top of the mountain together The most touching It is a spiritual outlook that combines faith and frugality In 2011, when the King of Bhutan got married The entire royal family still adheres to simplicity and moderation The wedding was vegetarian, the queen wore a second-hand dress, and her wedding ring was an old one handed down from her mother-in-law. They think Such frugality is not only a tradition It is also a respect for the impermanence of Buddhism. This religious influence It is also reflected in national policies The concept of “not killing” in environmental protection policies has permeated into laws Bhutan is the only country in the world that completely bans killing and fishing. Behind the nationwide ban on smoking, plastics, and commercial advertising This is all due to the Buddhist value of “respecting all things as one” Even the medical system runs parallel to religion Before using the CT machine in the hospital Lamas must first chant sutras to “dispel evil spirits” Tibetan medicine is always available in rural clinics Used in parallel with modern medicines Many villagers believe in chanting sutras and making medicine. Better than surgery and antibiotics In family education Chanting sutras, turning prayer wheels, offering lamps, and establishing connections It has long been a daily ritual passed down from generation to generation Every child knows what the “Six-Character Mantra” is from childhood. Know how to walk clockwise around the temple Know when to shut up When should you put your palms together? In this land, faith has long become a place of belonging. It has long been integrated into the daily lives of Bhutanese people. Become this country If you are visiting Bhutan for the first time The most surprising Maybe it’s not the chanting on the street It’s not the pagoda on the top of the mountain. But… the “penis” swaying all over the street Yes, Bhutanese people “worship” male genitals So straightforward that it makes people blush and heartbeat You’re walking on the street Suddenly, I found a huge and lifelike penis painted on the wall of a white house. Bright colors and exaggerated shapes There are even exaggerated shapes such as fire-breathing and long wings Some gates have wooden carved phalluses hanging in the center. Some families carve a More exaggerated Someone placed a wooden sculpture of a penis next to a Buddha statue. Pilgrimage with Guru Padmasambhava Outsiders were dumbfounded The locals don’t care I would even proudly say “This penis is blessing us with safety. ” This almost primitive worship It is not a symbol of pornography, obscenity or vulgarity It is a religious symbol that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It comes from a legendary figure – Lama Zhukakula Djukakula lived in the 15th century He is a beloved and controversial “mad monk” He is unkempt, behaves strangely, but has great magical powers. Known as the “Holy Madman” He believes “Buddhism cannot be taught in vain. Use life itself to understand So he often preached naked and persuaded people to do good after drinking. Even using penis to beat evil spirits Believers call it “the incarnation of the Thunder Dragon’s penis” In his legend He beat the devil away with his penis Use laughter to dispel hatred He not only imparts wisdom It also left behind the “Bhutanese version of sex education” and psychological comfort His beliefs are integrated with Tibetan Buddhism Forming a spiritual symbol that is both solemn and absurd The most famous is the “Temple for Seeking Children” Chimi Lhakhang Temple It is located in the Punakha Valley in central Bhutan Known as the “Temple of Descendants” Thousands of married women come to make the pilgrimage every year. The way of praying in this temple Very different from traditional Buddhism Come to the temple The abbot will take out a wooden penis that is 25 cm long Tap the head of the one who comes to pray It means to bestow fertility energy and good luck It is said that the more pious the person is, the more The easier it is to have a baby early What’s even more magical is These wooden dildos are also believed to have psychic powers. It is said that some women were blessed with a penis in their dreams. subsequent pregnancy Some people also take wooden carved penises back home as worship Tie a red string to the head of the baby’s bed For the healthy growth of the baby At folk festivals across Bhutan You can also see another highlight of penis culture For example, during the Punakha Festival Every year, monks and the public will wear strange costumes A clown wearing an “Akacha” mask dances in front of the temple They hold huge wooden dildos Acting crazy and stupid Sometimes teasing the audience Sometimes hitting the head Sometimes pretending to “cast a spell” The onlookers burst into laughter Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone rushed to be “knocked”. Meaning to drive away evil and bring good fortune In Bhutan The penis is a symbol It is a blessing A totem of strength This may be difficult to understand in other cultures. It can even be misunderstood as blasphemous and vulgar But in Bhutan, the phallic symbol has nothing to do with sex. It is closer to a primitive “worship of life” Respect for fertility Worship of natural forces Gratitude for the continued reproduction of mankind Cultural anthropologists point out The origin of fertility worship can be traced back to the late matriarchal society. In that era People began to realize the role of men in reproduction Therefore, the genitals are regarded as the “sacred vessels” that create life. Gradually evolved into symbols and sacrifices, which continue to this day Bhutan is the living fossil of this ancient belief. This culture has also subtly influenced Bhutanese people’s attitudes towards sex and marriage. In Bhutan, the concept of marriage is very liberal and open. Polygamy or polyandry still exists in some remote villages Separation of husband and wife is called “natural divorce” No lawsuit required No discussion of property division The gender status of men and women is relatively equal The division of labor in a household is determined by geography and customs The overall structure presents a “flexible structure” What’s more interesting is Bhutanese people are not shy about talking about sex Sex education illustrations in primary school textbooks Community health lectures directly discuss fertility and sexual diseases Religion and sex education are not in conflict Instead, they complement each other This seemingly “weird” belief In fact, it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Bhutanese people. Today’s penis worship Free education from primary school to high school Free medical care for all, plant trees first, then allocate land Under these seemingly “easy” but actually “strict” systems in Bhutan It truly created a peaceful and tranquil utopia. No beggars, no drug dealers No red light district, no skyscrapers No billboards, no financial speculation The whole country is like a spiritual sanctuary where time has slowed down. But the deeper you look, The more you see the cracks in reality behind “utopia” For example, although medical care is free, resources are scarce. The rural clinic has only one doctor and is always short of medicine. Outdated surgical equipment Serious illnesses can only be treated in India Ordinary people simply can’t afford that trip. Although education is widespread But higher education options are limited The curriculum is relatively backward Most university graduates cannot find jobs Youth employment rate remains low for a long time Although the happiness index is high But it cannot solve the three problems that young people are most concerned about Work, income and the future More and more Bhutanese youth are beginning to “doubt happiness” Chanting sutras every day is very peaceful But what if you can’t afford an iPhone? I’m happy not to have to work overtime But what if the salary is not enough to get married? They see the richness, color, desire and opportunities of the outside world on the Internet Inner awakening and the country’s Buddhist approach Conflict begins Therefore, the Bhutanese government had to “carry the scroll in the Buddha’s heart” Double the farming subsidies Handicraft cooperative wages increased to 1,500 yuan Encourage young people to return home and start businesses Launch vocational training programs to teach IT skills But these measures have not stopped the exodus More and more Bhutanese youth choose to study in India, Bangladesh and Australia Or work abroad as a nurse, programmer, or hotel waiter Some people even secretly changed to Indian SIM cards Follow influencers on social media and see what they wear In an internet cafe late at night The price is 30 yuan per hour Experience the “Popularity and Possibility” of Another World This contrast This is the most tense part of the happiness index It’s real, but not perfect. Bhutanese people are not without desires It’s just that they were taught to “transform desire into satisfaction” They were simply told: “Fewer choices is a blessing” But for the next generation The rapid development of the world is breaking through the happy bubble of “closing the country to the outside world” You can say Bhutan chose “slow” But the world is fast forwarding You can say Bhutan rejects consumerism But young people have long been looking into the desire of the world outside Thus, an embarrassing situation emerged. “Happiness” makes Bhutan a model envied by the world But it also makes the younger generation feel “trapped”. Faced with these developments Bhutan has not actually chosen to give up But environmental protection The concepts of sustainable development have been taken to the extreme Especially in the tourism industry Traveling in Bhutan You are not a tourist You are a “donor” Since 2011 The Bhutanese government has implemented a policy called the “sustainable development fee” Each foreign tourist A minimum entry fee of US$200 per day must be paid This does not include visa, tour guide, accommodation, transportation and other miscellaneous expenses in other words You breathe the air, take photos, and see the mountains every day in Bhutan It starts at $200 This money is not a one-shot deal. But it has a strict purpose 40% for environmental protection projects 20% invested in education and healthcare 15% subsidy to farmers The rest is used for temple maintenance, cultural preservation and community building Even the old lady selling milk tea on the roadside May also benefit from “tourism dividends” This approach Known as “high-end customized tourism” The Bhutanese government’s philosophy is “We are not pursuing the number of tourists. Only those who truly respect culture and nature are welcome ” Sounds very courageous. But the reality is This makes Bhutan one of the most expensive travel destinations in the world. You can’t backpack your way around Bhutan on a budget It’s impossible to just leave. You must plan your trip, hire a guide, and book accommodation in advance through an officially certified travel agency. Itineraries are strictly regulated If you want to “travel freely” Sorry, Bhutan does not support Even if you are rich Not accompanied by a local guide Still unable to obtain entry permit After tourists enter You will also feel a kind of invisible “supervision” There is an additional charge for taking photos at the temple The tour guide will sternly warn you if you throw garbage Ask monks, take photos of murals, and touch ritual objects Consent is required Want to hang out at night? Sorry, all shops are closed at 5 o’clock The streets were silent But all this This has not diminished Bhutan’s appeal. Bhutan to receive only 60,000 tourists in 2023 The average per capita consumption is as high as US$1,500. Three times that of the Maldives Famous attractions such as Tiger’s Nest Monastery, Paro Dzong, and Punakha Festival remain popular. Tourists’ favorite souvenirs It is a kind of coarse-grained paper made by hand-pressing the bark of the “poison wolf grass” after soaking for three months. An A4-sized piece of paper can cost up to 50 yuan. Don’t think this price is too high This paper is flexible and durable Traditional skills blessing Some people come here just to take a pack home to make envelopes. Another “ridiculously expensive” taboo It is “stone” Bhutan prohibits tourists from taking away any pebbles or rocks. Customs X-ray machines will specifically scan backpacks for “geographical items” Once we find out you’re hiding the stones The minimum fine is 5,000 yuan The reason is simple These stones are believed to be part of the “dwelling place of the gods” Cannot be destroyed Can’t take it away Bhutanese people’s reverence for culture and sensitivity to nature It is most reflected in the tourism industry certainly This strict system also brought negative voices Some tourists complained “I spent so much money but could only follow the tour guide.” A travel blogger complained “It’s like living in an over-regulated fairytale prison” Some people also said frankly “Besides temples and scenery It’s just so quiet it’s disturbing ” But the Bhutanese don’t care. As one tour guide calmly said “We are not doing business, we are choosing friends ” This sentence reveals the true logic of Bhutan tourism You can come in, you are “selected” You are willing to stay, it is “acceptable” They would rather earn less We must also ensure that this land is not swallowed up by cheap business This strong sense of boundaries is protection Also screening after all In Bhutan, “happiness” is a collective consensus Not a tourist carnival Standing in the morning in the valley of Bhutan In the distance is swirling white mist The sound of lamas chanting is in my ears The prayer flags above my head flutter in the wind At this moment, you may feel This is truly a paradise on earth, a true “paradise” No high-pressure overtime here No internal competition No endless mortgage pressure People wearing national costumes walk slowly Children playing in the mud There are no beggars on the streets No glaring advertising screens This country Like a piece of rice paper flattened by time Living a quiet, simple and leisurely life But this piece of rice paper also has cracks Young people peek at the world on social media The older generation prays for good weather and good harvests in the coming year while chanting scriptures The mountain road is still difficult to travel Hospitals still short of medicine Although faith does not fade Reality is quietly collapsing You envy Bhutan’s slow pace That’s because you haven’t lived here for a year yet. You worship its purity That’s because you haven’t experienced a job failure, a disease without medical treatment, It’s good, but it’s not perfect It is the Peach Blossom Spring But there are also hidden filters that are unknown to the public Long video production is not easy Welcome everyone to follow, like and collect Our next video will be even more exciting!
🟢本期简介🟢
在喜马拉雅山深处，有一个与世隔绝的小国——不丹。这里没有红绿灯，没有钢筋丛林，人们穿着传统服饰，清晨诵经，傍晚煮茶，仿佛时间被放慢了几十年。它以“国民幸福总值”取代GDP，用免费教育、全民医疗、严苛的环保政策守护着这片土地，被称为“最后的香格里拉”。

但在佛光之下，年轻人却在手机屏幕里窥探外面的世界，开始质疑这种被安排好的“幸福生活”。不丹，是世外桃源，还是一场精心维护的幻境？本期，将带你走进这个神秘国度，看见幸福背后的真实与矛盾。
