I visited Lhasa at a specail day for Tibetan. People from faraway came together to The Jokhang Temple, the destination of millions of Tibetan pilgrims. Many of them circumanbulated around the Jokhang , and kept praying day over night.

The Jokhang Temple, the Spiritual Center Of Tibet

Only three statues of Sakyamuni were permitted to be sculpted in the world, The likeness of Sakyamuni at age twelve is one of them, It was a gift of the Tang Dynasty to Tubo King Songtsen Gampo, and brought to Tibet by Princess Wen Cheng. This holiest statue is kept in the Jokhang Temple.

That’s why tibetan think The Jokhang Temple is one of important shrines of their spirit.
