Jokhang tempel Lhasa Tibet
Barkhor of Barkor is een buurt van nauwe straten en het plein voor de Jokhang-tempel in Lhasa in Tibet. Barkhor trekt veel toeristen sinds de Chinese regering de deur open zette in 1979 voor het toerisme in Tibet. Het is van oudsher een korlam, ofwel een pelgrimspad rondom in dit geval de Jokhang-tempel.
Barkhor was altijd populair als godsdienstige centrale plaats voor pelgrims in Tibet en andere bevolking. In een ronde van één kilometer kan er rond enkele adellijke huizen en de Jokhang-tempel worden gelopen, de voormalige zetel van het Tibetaans staatsorakel die het klooster Muru Nyingba werd genoemd. De naam Barkhor is afgeleid van de Tibetaanse benaming voor pelgrims in Tibet, gnas skor ba, letterlijk: iemand die een rondgang maakt om een heilige plaats.
De Jokhang-tempel is een van de beroemdste tempels van Lhasa en staat op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. Er waren vier grote wierookbranders (sangkangs) die in de vier belangrijkste richtingen continu wierookgeur verspreidden, met als doel de goden te behagen en de Jokhang te beschermen.
Barkhor in Lhasa, Tibet, China
The Barkhor (Tibetan: བར་སྐོར་, Wylie: bar-skor, ZYPY: Pargor; Chinese: 八廓; pinyin: bākuò) is an area of narrow streets and a public square located around Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet, China.
The Barkor is a popular devotional circumabulation for pilgrims and locals. The walk was about one kilometre long and encircled the entire Jokhang, the former seat of the State Oracle in Lhasa called the Muru Nyingba Monastery, and a number of nobles' houses including Tromzikhang and Jamkhang. There were four large incense burners (sangkangs) in the four cardinal directions, with incense burning constantly, to please the gods protecting the Jokhang. The Tromzikhang market is busy in Barkhor, and the area is a major tourist attraction.
Because the Jokhang Temple has been a symbolic center of Tibetan protest since 1987, the Barkhor has also seen many demonstrations. In 1989, when year the 14th Dalai Lama won the Nobel Peace Prize, pro-Dalai Lama residents threw tsampa around the Barkhor to celebrate. After the Central government denounced the prize, residents who continued such demonstrations were arrested. The square was briefly closed by riot police during the 2008 Lhasa violence.
