the relics of the supreme lamas
are preserved), shrines, prayer
rooms, monks' dormitories and
courtyards, is recognized as the
world's highest and largest castle
palace.
Sera
Monastery: Located at the
southern slope of the Serawoze
Mountain in the northern suburb
of Lhasa, the monastery covers
an area that was once strewn with
wild roses called Sewa. It was
built by Sagya Yeshes (1354-1435,
who was given the title of the
Great Mercy Prince of Dharma during
the Ming Dynasty), one of the
eight disciples of Zongkapa, founder
of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism,
in 1419. In 1982, the monastery
was put under national protection.

of the successive Dalai Lamas
from the 1780s until the late
1950s. |

Lhasa
(Breakfast
+ Lunch)
Tour to the Jokhang Temple, the
Drepung Monastery, the Tibet Museum
and visit the Barkhor Street.
Jokhang
Temple: Jokhang Temple is
the spiritual center of Tibet.
Everyday pilgrims from every corner
of Tibet trek a long distance
to the temple. Some of them even
progress prostrate by body length
to the threshold of the temple.
Pilgrims fuel myriad of flickering
butter lamps with yak butter,
or honor their deities with white
scarves (Kha-btags or Hada) while
murmuring sacred mantras to show
their pieties to the Buddha.
Drepung Monastery: Drepung
Monastery is actually a collection
of Buddhist chapels and colleges
located about 8km west of Lhasa.
The word Drepung can be literally
translated as "rice pile", a name
whose meaning becomes clear when
you see the white-walled buildings
scattered along the hill. Originally
founded in 1416, the monastery
in its heyday was home to 10,000
monks (around 1600). In 1530,
the second Dalai Lama built his
palace here, known as the Ganden
Palace, which was used until the
fifth Dalai Lama built the Potala.
Tibet Museum: The Tibet Museum
was officially inaugurated in
October of 1999, with a permanent
collection that celebrates the
History of Tibetan Culture. The
design of the exhibit uses traditional
Tibetan architecture such as Tibetan
doors, beam-decoration, patterns
and so on, in order to create
the atmosphere of authentic Tibetan
art
Barkhor
Street: Located in the old
area of Lhasa City, Tibet, Barkhor
Street is a very ancient round
street surrounding the Jokhang
Temple and the Tibetan people
are always proud of it. As a symbol
of Lhasa, this street is also
a must-see place for the tourists. |
