The Potala Palace and The Jokhang Temple | Lhasa, Tibet | Documentary
Documentary The Potala Palace and The Jokhang Temple,
Lhasa, Tibet.
The Potala Palace in Lhasa was the primary residence of the Dalai Lama until 1959, when the 14th Dalai Lama fled to Dharamsala after a failed uprising.Today the Potala Palace is a state museum, a popular tourist attraction, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Jokhang means 'House of Buddha'. Located in the center of old Lhasa city.
In the central hall is the Jokhang’s oldest and most precious object, a life-sized sitting statue of Sakyamuni when he was 12 years old. This was carried to Tibet by Princess Wen Cheng from her home in Chang'an in 700 A.D. It is a gilded statue adorned with many jewels, in an elaborate setting. Pilgrims have prostrated themselves in front of this statue for centuries. It is the most sacred statue in the eyes of the Tibetan people.
Jokhang Temple, Lhasa, Tibet - China Travel Channel
The Jokhang Temple, Tibet's most sacred place, is in the center of Lhasa. Along the innermost of the three pilgrim routes, pilgrims move around the temple in a clockwise direction while walking on the 800 m long Barkhor. In front of the temple, many throw themselves flat along the ground. Some pilgrims also move this way from their home villages to the temple, and measure the path in the number of body lengths.
Spinning the prayer wheel means that the prayer is being read for every turn. In addition to Buddhas and Ahats, the inside of the temple contains the Jo-bo-Buddha. It was once the statue of a slim boy when the Chinese Princess Wen Cheng brought it here during a 2 year journey following a peace agreement in the year 822. Now for each donation of around 2000 Euros, the Buddha receives a new coating of gold. As a result, it now has a round face. It is the most sacred Buddha statue in Tibet.
The sight of women laboring as construction workers is still always a surprise.
From the roof of the temple you have a beautiful view of the Potala Palace.
Since 2000 the Jokhang Temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Ensemble Potala Palace in Lhasa.

Der Jokhang-Tempel, Tibets größtes Heiligtum, steht im Zentrum von Lhasa. Pilger umrunden ihn im Uhrzeigersinn auf dem 800 m langen Barkhor, dem innersten der drei Pilgerwege. Vor dem Tempel werfen sich viele immer wieder der Länge nach auf den Boden, so wie einige sogar den Weg von ihrem Heimatdorf zum Tempel auf diese Weise zurücklegen und den Weg in der Anzahl ihrer Körperlängen messen.
Das Drehen der Gebetsmühlen bedeutet bei jeder Umdrehung wurde das Gebet einmal gesprochen. Neben Buddhas und Ahats befindet sich im Inneren der Jo-Bo-Buddha. Einst war es ein schlanker Jüngling, als ihn die chinesische Prinzessin Wen Cheng nach dem Friedensvertrag von 822 in einer zweijährigen Reise hier herbrachte. Für jede Spende von 2. 000 Euro erhält er eine neue Goldauflage. So hat er in der Zwischenzeit ein rundliches Gesicht erhalten. Er ist die heiligste Buddha-Statue Tibets.
Der Anblick von Frauen als Bauarbeiter überrascht immer wieder.
Vom Dach des Jokhang-Tempels hat man einen schönen Ausblick auf den Potala-Palast.
Seit 1981 steht der Jokhang Tempel unter nationalem Denkmalschutz. Zusammen mit dem Potala-Palast wurde er im Jahre 2000 als
„Historisches Ensemble Potala-Palast in Lhasa“ in die Liste der UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe aufgenommen.

The Jokhang temple (Lhasa - Tibet - China)
(EN) The Jokhang, (Tibetan: ཇོ་ཁང་; Wylie: Jo-khang; Chinese: 大昭寺; pinyin: Dàzhāosì), also called the Jokang, Jokhang Temple, Jokhang Monastery or Tsuklakang (gTsug lag khang), is located on Barkhor Square in Lhasa. For most Tibetans it is the most sacred and important temple in Tibet. It is in some regards pan-sectarian, but is presently controlled by the Gelug school. The temple's architectural style is a mixture of Indian vihara design, Chinese Tang Dynasty design, and Nepalese design.
It was founded during the reign of king Songsten Gampo. According to tradition, the temple was built for the two brides of the king, Princess Wencheng of the Chinese Tang Dynasty and Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal. Both wives are said to have brought important Buddhist statues and images from China and Nepal to Tibet as part of their dowries, and they were housed here. Many Nepalese artists worked to construct this temple.
During the Bon period of Tibet the temple was (and sometimes still is), called the 'Tsuklakang' (Tsulag Khang) — 'House of Religious Science' or 'House of Wisdom.' The term tsuklak refers to the 'sciences' such as geomancy, astrology, and divination which formed part of the pre-Buddhist shamanistic religion now referred to as Bon. It is more commonly known today as the Jokhang, which means the 'House of the Buddha'.
Along with the Potala Palace, it is probably the most popular tourist attraction in Lhasa. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Ensemble of the Potala Palace, and a spiritual centre of Lhasa. (wikipedia)

Jokhang Temple, Lhasa, Tibet, China 3F2890D3 8E1C 4434 B8F5 077F162166CA
The Jokhang Temple is a four-storey timber complex with a golden top. It adopted the architectural styles of the Tang Dynasty, as well as those of Tibet and Nepal. Standing in its square, one can view the entire complex. On the square there are two steles, one recording an alliance between the king of Tibet and the emperor of the Tang, the other portraying the teaching of the local people to prevent and treat smallpox, a once incurable disease in that region. In the eastern section of the yard there are rows of votive lights. These flicking lights provide a path leading all the way to the main hall. The main hall, over 1,300 years old, is the oldest shrine of the complex. Above the major entrance, there is a Dharma Wheel (chakra) flanked by two deer. This represents the unity of all things and symbolizes Sakyamuni himself. On both sides of the passageway, paintings showing the building of the temple, and renderings from the seventh century are adorned on the wall. The statue of Sakyamuni at age 12 sits in the middle of the hall. It has been gilded many times and decorated elaborately with jewels typical of Tibet. Statues of King Songtsem Gampo, Princess Wen Cheng and Princess Bhrikuti are on the second floor. On the top floor, there are four gilded bronze tile tops crafted in the emblematical Tang style.

The Jokhang is a Buddhist temple in Barkhor Square in Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. Tibetans, in general, consider this temple as the most sacred and important temple in Tibet. The temple is currently maintained by the Gelug school, but they accept worshipers from all sects of Buddhism. The temple's architectural style is a mixture of Indian vihara design, Tibetan and Nepalese design.
The Jokhang was founded during the reign of King Songtsen Gampo. According to tradition, the temple was built for the king's two brides: Princess Wencheng of the Chinese Tang dynasty and Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal. Both are said to have brought important Buddhist statues and images from China and Nepal to Tibet, which were housed here, as part of their dowries. The oldest part of the temple was built in 652. In the next 900 years the temple was enlarged several times with the last renovation done in 1610 by the Fifth Dalai Lama. Following the death of Gampo, the image in Ramcho Lake temple was moved to the Jokhang temple for security reasons. When King Tresang Detsan ruled from 755 to 797, the Buddha image of the Jokhang temple was hidden, as the king's minister was hostile to the spread of Buddhism in Tibet. During the late ninth and early tenth centuries, the Jokhang and Ramoche temples were said to have been used as stables. In 1049 Atisha, a renowned teacher of Buddhism from Bengal taught in Jokhang.
Around the 14th century, the temple was associated with the Vajrasana in India. In the 18th century the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty, following the Gorkha-Tibetan war in 1792, did not allow the Nepalese to visit this temple and it became an exclusive place of worship for the Tibetans. During the Chinese development of Lhasa, the Barkhor Square in front of the temple was encroached. During the Cultural Revolution, Red Guards attacked the Jokhang temple in 1966 and for a decade there was no worship. Renovation of the Jokhang took place from 1972 to 1980. In 2000, the Jokhang became a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an extension of the Potala Palace (a World Heritage Site since 1994). Many Nepalese artists have worked on the temple's design and construction.
