There are so many interesting and special things in the Tibet;

you must have witnessed the view on the Lhasa to Kathmandu travel

that so many beggars ask for the money in the street. So what you

should do when you get this situation? How can you deal with them?

The answer is the following!

The most interesting of the Lhasa’s beggar is that it is ok that

you give him one Yuan and ask for ninety cents.

Nowadays Lhasa, except the many tourists, there are so many

beggar. Especially in the square of the Jokhang temple; there are a

lot of the beggar come together in crowds; and the method also each

showing his special prowess, make the people who come to the

Lhasa firstly lost his or her head. Just think about that, if there is a

little child throws himself on your leg; you can not move, can not

beat him; also it is no use to abuse him; how embarrassed it is!

Now aim at the problems about how to treat the beggar of the

Lhasa, I will tell you some methods, and you can have some

preparations when you meet them.

It is necessary; you can give some changes to dispose of the

matter when you indeed can not get rid of them (such as the situation

which I have talked above—you have been clasped the leg by the

child). In addition, when you meet the real pilgrims who have the

innumerable trials and hardships to get the Lhasa but have no eat; if

you are willing, you can give them some changes.

But it is should be paid attention to is that there can not use the

coin, so they will do not accept your coin in the trade, estimate that

the beggar will refuse the coin what you give.

A Lhasa’s friend tell me that all the Lamas of the temple who

also get the treat as the civil servant, moreover, there are lots of the

Buddhism believers enshrine and worship; the real Lama mainly

need not to get out to beg along the street. The reason why they

disguise themselves as the appearance of the Lama, mainly it is for

the convenience of beg; make the use of the good opinion about the

people to the Lama.

So if you meet these beggars, just go away and do not heed

them.

The Tibet is the minority nationality regions, you should be

careful when you talk. I came across a situation like this: on one

occasion, I and my two friends had the meal in the noodle restaurant,

and there was a beggar who disguised himself as the Lama came in

the restaurant and asked for the money; I spoke without thinking that

“you are the fake Lama”. And then I made that people anxious,

indignant and disturbed, pointed at me and said “whereby you speak

I am a fake Lama?”, and by the time, he fished out the so-called

evidence from the bosom. The sideways Tibet woman looked about

this and immediately fish out one yuan to that person, and then sent

him out. Afterwards she instructed us that “there is the minority

nationality regions, you should not speak like that.”

Consider also it is my fault, it is ok that do not want to give the

money, but he surely will be angry about my words. Please the great

master can learn a lesson from this.

On one occasion, there was Tibetan asked the money for me, I

said that “I have no change”; it is out of my consideration that the

Tibetan run after me and spoke that “I can make the change for

you”. It made me felt both funny and annoying.

That is to see, if you do not want to give the money, just go

away, and do not speak another words, so as to avoid the

troublesome.

The most unpleasant view in the lhasa is that when you have

the delicious food in the restaurant, one and another dirty beggars

come in, stand along your table and do not go away, it is really

disgusting. You should remember that if you give the money to him

or her, there are another people who will come in and ask for the

money immediately, because they will send the words with each

others.

At that time, you can attend to have no attention on him; you

can go on with your meal. After one or two minutes when they know

there is beyond the hope they will go away. The easiest method is to

ask the boss of the restaurant. Generally, the shopkeeper will not be

able to drive away the beggar initiatively, but if you ask for help

initiatively; the boss will come to help you and persuade the beggar

for some words, and then they will go away.

When the people of the Lhasa meet the beggar, generally, they

will give some to them in a few years ago. Nowadays, there are so

many profession beggar, when you meet the beggar and do not want

to give the money, you can speak in Tibetan—“Mindu Mindu”, it

means “nothing”. The beggar will go away when they hear about

that.

However for the Hans like us, they have their own methods. I

remembered that one time, I said the “Mindu” to a beggar, he just

attended to do not understand but ask a question in reply: “what is

Mindu?” I almost laughed to die.

Well, you can control the general situation after you have

handled above skills. If only the minority beggars in the Lhasa will

not influence the enjoy mood in the Tibet.

It is same that is easy to dress up as a Lama.

He does not forget to shake the prayer wheel when he asks for

the money.

The happiness holiday when the beggar drinks beery. The man

who wears the cap takes the children; in general days, he asks for the

money in the street, and when he gets the enough money, he will

drink the beery. How cheerful he is!
