Also pay close attention to deliverymen from farmhouses. Otherwise, as stated earlier, your deliverymen will be standing around waiting for an opening. For example, if you "empty" wheat from a warehouse, make sure there is another warehouse or mill that "accepts" wheat. Another important consideration is to coordinate all supply changes together, across all your mills and warehouses.
This change may only be temporary, so check supplies often and readjust accordingly. What foods are you producing? How much of that food are you producing and how quickly are your mills and warehouses filling up? If you have both millet and game meat as food sources, what are the production levels for both? You may find that game meat is not coming in as fast as millet, and therefore, you may need to increase your millet supply and reduce your game meat supply.

Renovation work on the monastery was launched in 2011. The towers and an ancient Buddhist Hall in the monastery were seriously damaged in the earthquake. There are also 31 towers on the hillside next to the monastery, standing for Gesar and his 30 generals.
The Epic of King Gesar, which was listed as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage item by UNESCO, is considered a masterpiece of Tibetan folk literature. But over time, there are fewer and fewer local musicians capable of singing the crowning masterpiece of Tibetan folk literature. Altogether, "King of Gesar" contains more than 120 episodes. There used to be a lot of folk artists in Tibet who could recite the entire work or large portions. The people of Gling believed that an evil wind had blown the demons into their world to destroy Gling's peace and quiet.
An unlucky shadow shrouded their eyes as desire burned in their hearts, just as rivers, wishing to flow beyond their beds, are muddied as they rush against their banks. Tyrants fought one another for power, and life in Gling became a struggle between the noble and the lowly, the powerful and the powerless. The people of Gling began to pursue wealth – pastures, palaces, treasure and, for the men, beautiful women. They believed they had destroyed all of the demons – or, at least, if there were still demons, they were hidden in human hearts, scurrying around in human blood, laughing like hyenas.īut in Gling the curtain was about to rise on a battle between humans, deities and demons. TheyĮrected statues they wove hemp and silk they became civilised. Those peoples cultivated the seeds of many plants they smelted gold, silver, copper, iron, featherweight mercury and heavy lead. By the time the newly enlightened inhabitants of Gling began to separate domesticated horses from wild ones, other worlds had long since left behind the age of barbarism. Gling was a small world, its people divided into clans. Jigmed will learn to see his troubled country with new eyes and, as the storyteller chosen by the gods, must face his own destiny. Gesar grows from a willful child of the gods into the warrior-king of Ling, and will unite the nation of Tibet under his reign. So begins an epic journey for both the shepherd and the king. Jigmed is a young shepherd who is visited by dreams of Gesar, of gods, and of ancient battles while he sleeps. Gesar, the youngest and bravest of the gods, has been sent down to the human world as an infant king to defeat the demons that plague the lives of ordinary people. Set partly in ancient Tibet, where evil spirits mingle with the lives of humans, and partly in the modern day, the tale tells of two lives inextricably entwined. Passed down in song from one generation to the next, it is sung by Tibetan bards even today. The Song of King Gesar is one of the world's great epics, as significant for Tibetans as the Odyssey and Iliad were for the ancient Greeks. We speak now of the earth as a village, but back then people looked towards the sky's edge and wondered if there might be more worlds beyond the horizon – wickeder than theirs, perhaps, or more prosperous. Not different countries, different worlds.
In those days, people felt that the earth was big enough to contain many different worlds. Snowcapped mountains circle the grasslands, like fierce beasts galloping at the edge of the sky. Sometimes you can almost hear surging drumbeats or a pounding heart inside. Its grasslands are in the shape of an enormous drum, the plateau encircling a slight rise in the middle.
