If heaven has a form, it must look like the Holy Elephant Gate!

In the year I turned thirty, I finally went to Tibet with my dearest friends, a place I had dreamed of for so long. There, I saw the blue sky and white clouds that I will never forget in my life. As we drove over the mountains, through the bumpy roads, I finally saw the sacred Holy Elephant Gate! Shining with a brilliant golden edge! We couldn't help but scream in the car! If heaven has a form, I believe at that moment, it must have been the Holy Elephant Gate! The blue sky was exceptionally clean, the white clouds edged with gold, and the layered peaks brought the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen I read in my childhood into reality at that moment. Whenever I am troubled by the trivial matters of work in the city, the image of the Holy Elephant Gate heals me time and again. In the quiet of the deep night, every look can cleanse the soul. I have dreamed about Tibet for too long. I am grateful to have a group of like-minded friends, to create more beautiful memories at a stage where we could just go is truly a wonderful thing!
