Tibet Spreads Monastery Fire Safety Education by Thangka
Fire prevention is very important in public area especially in hot sight spots such as in monasteries. With butter lamps lit in every hall, Tibetan monasteries put fire safety top on agenda and some try to conduct safety education through traditional Thangka paintings, known as encyclopedia of Tibetan culture. In that way people who have Tibet tours visit Tibetan Monasteries gain a lot.
"When the monastery has things stolen, the missing item at least can be seen somewhere on the earth; but in case of fire, things will turn into ashes and no one can see it again", said Palden Lhundrup, a senior monk and deputy director of the management committee of Balkor Monastery in Gyangze County, Shigastse Prefecture in southwest China's Tibet.
Safety should be put on top of all the priorities. In particular, the potential safety hazards from fire should be emphasized by every member in monasteries, he concluded, adding that Thangka painting with convincing, accessible images on fire prevention and control is a good way in educating monks.
