Potala Palace, Lhasa, Tibet - China Travel Channel
From the roof of our hotel in Lhasa we had a splendid view of the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Then we saw the former winter palace of the Dalai Lama majestically in front of us
Before making the steep climb we observe the pilgrims at the Potala Kora, a circular route around the Potala Palace. Due to the short acclimatization to the altitude of 3,600 m in Lhasa and the carrying of the camera equipment the rise of 180 m caused us little problems
The white sections serve worldly purposes, while red sections serve spiritual purposes. Inside the Potala you may admire many art treasures like the Stupa of the 5th Dalai Lama, made up of 3,700 kg pure gold. The ubiquitous yak butter candles – not smelling like beeswax - might also cause some breathing problems. The view from the golden roof is also breathtaking.

Vom Dach unseres Hotels in Lhasa hat man einen schönen Ausblick auf den Potala-Palast. Dann liegt der frühere Winterpalast des Dalai Lama majestätisch vor uns.
Bevor wir uns an den Anstieg machen beobachten wir die Pilger auf dem Potala-Kora, einem Rundweg um den Potala Palast. Da wir uns noch nicht an die Meereshöhe von 3600 m in Lhasa akklimatisiert hatten und die Kameraausrüstung tragen mussten, machte uns der ca. 180m hohe Anstieg doch etwas zu schaffen.
Die weißen Teile des Bauwerks dienen weltlichen Zwecken, die roten geistlichen. Im Inneren des Potala sind viele Kunstschätze, unter anderem, die Stupa des 5. Dalai Lama, bestehend aus 3.700 kg puren Goldes, zu bewundern. Leichte Atemprobleme können allerdings auch die allgegenwärtigen Yak Butterkerzen bereiten, die nicht gerade nach Bienenwachs duften. Der Ausblick vom goldenen Dach ist ebenfalls atemberaubend.

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)

The Drepung monastery (Lhasa - Tibet - China)
(EN) Drepung Monastery (wylie: 'bras spungs dgon ),(literally Rice Heap monastery), located at the foot of Mount Gephel, is one of the great three Gelukpa university monasteries of Tibet. The other two are Ganden and Sera.
Drepung is the largest of all Tibetan monasteries and is located on the Gambo Utse mountain, five kilometers from the western suburb of Lhasa.
Freddie Spencer Chapman reported, after his 1936-37 trip to Tibet, that Drepung was at that time the largest monastery in the world, and housed 7,700 monks, but sometimes as many as 10,000 monks.
It was founded in 1416 by Jamyang Choge Tashi Palden (1397--1449), one of Tsongkhapa's main disciples, and it was named after the sacred abode in South India of Shridhanyakataka. Drepung was the principal seat of the Gelugpa school and it retained the premier place amongst the four great Gelugpa monasteries. The Ganden Podang (dga´ ldan pho brang) in Drepung was the residence of the Dalai Lamas until the Great Fifth Dalai Lama constructed the Potala.Drepung was known for the high standards of its academic study, and was called the Nalanda of Tibet, a reference to the great Buddhist monastic university of India.
Old records show that there were two centres of power in Drepung: the so-called lower chamber (Zimkhang 'og ma) associated with the Dalai Lamas-to-be, and the upper chamber (Zimkhang gong ma) associated with the descendants of Sonam Drakpa, an illustrious teacher who died in 1554. The estate of the Dalai Lamas at Drepung monastery, called Ganden Phodrang, had been constructed in 1518 by Gendun Gyatso Palzangpo (1476--1541), retrospectively named and counted as 2nd Dalai Lama.
Penchen Sönam Drakpa (1478-1554 CE) in 1535 succeeded Gendün Gyatso (1476--1541) on the Throne of Drepung, both of them being major figures in the history of the Geluk tradition. By the time Sönam Drakpa was appointed to the Throne of Drepung (Drepung Tri), he was already a famous Geluk master. He had already occupied the Throne of Ganden (Ganden Tri) and was considered the most prolific and important Geluk thinker of his time. His successor was none other than Sönam Gyatso (1543-1588 CE), the lama who would receive the official title of the Third Dalai Lama (Talé Lama Kutreng Sumpa).
Before his death in 1554, Sönam Drakpa established his own estate, the Upper Chamber (Zimkhang Gongma), which was named because of its location at the top of Drepung, just below the Ngakpa debating courtyard Ngagpa Dratshang.
Drepung is now divided into what are known as the seven great colleges: Gomang (sGo-mang), Loseling (Blo-gsal gling), Deyang (bDe-dbyangs), Shagkor (Shag-skor), Gyelwa (rGyal-ba) or Tosamling (Thos-bsam gling), Dulwa ('Dul-ba), and Ngagpa (sNgags-pa). It can be a somewhat useful analogy to think of Drepung as a university along the lines of Oxford or the Sorbonne in the Middle Ages, the various colleges having different emphases, teaching lineages, or traditional geographical affiliations.
According to local sources, today the population at the monastery in Lhasa is about 300 monks, due to population capping enforced by the Chinese government. However, the institution has continued its tradition in exile with campuses in South India on land in Karnataka given to the Tibetan community in exile by Prime Minister Nehru. The monastery in India today houses over 5,000 celibate monks, with around 3,000 at Drepung Loseling and some 2,000 at Drepung Gomang. Hundreds of new monks are admitted each year, many of them refugees from Tibet.
The Ganden-Phodrang-Palace situated at Drepung Monastery was constructed by the 2nd Dalai Lama in 1518 and declared his chief residence/governmental palace until the inauguration of Potala Palace by the 5th Dalai Lama. (wikipedia)

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.

Lhasa, Tibet China
Lhasa is the of Tibet China and the second most populous city on the Tibetan Plateau, after Xining. At an altitude of 3,490 meters (11,450 ft), Lhasa is one of the highest cities in the world. It contains many culturally significant Tibetan Buddhist sites such as the Jokhang, Potala and Norbulingka palaces.
The Barkhor is an area of narrow streets and a public square located around Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet. The Barkor is a popular devotional circumabulation for pilgrims and locals. The walk was about one kilometre long and encircled the entire Jokhang. The Tromzikhang market is busy in Barkhor, and the area is a major tourist attraction.
The Jokhang Temple 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.
The Potala Palace was named after Mount Potala, the abode of Chenresig or Avalokitesvara. The Potala Palace was the chief residence of the Dalai Lama until the 14th Dalai Lama self-exile in 1959. The first palace was built in 637 by the Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo, as a present for his bride Princess Wen Cheng of the Tang Dynasty. The construction of the modern Potala Palace in 1645 after one of his spiritual advisers, Konchog Chophel (d. 1646), pointed out that the site was ideal as a seat of government, situated as it is between Drepung and Sera monasteries and the old city of Lhasa. Today, the Potala Palace is a museum.
Norbulingka is a palace and surrounding park in Lhasa, Tibet, built from 1755 by the 7th Dalai Lama and it is a unique representation of Tibetan palace architecture. It served as the traditional summer residence of the successive Dalai Lamas from the 1780s up until the 14th Dalai Lama's self-exile in 1959. Part of the Historic Ensemble of the Potala Palace, Norbulingka is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and was added as an extension of this Historic Ensemble in 2001.

Potala refers to a mountain in India sacred to the religion, and for centuries its namesake palace has been at the core of Tibet’s monastic community.
Much of the current palace complex dates to the seventeenth century. But the earliest construction began a thousand years earlier, on the commission of a Tibetan king, in honor of his marriage to a princess of China. The growing fortress became the winter home for the Dalai Lamas, monastic leaders of Tibetan Buddhism.
UNESCO’s World Heritage designation extends to the neighboring Jokhang Temple, considered Tibet’s most sacred, and the Norbulingka, once the Dalai Lama’s summer residence.
Conflict led to the exile of the Dalai Lama from China’s Tibetan Autonomous Region in 1959, and the grounds became a museum. But the Potala Palace remains a major Buddhist pilgrimage site. Many travel long distances by foot to pay their respects. Potala is divided into the Red Palace, which is for religious use, and an administrative White Palace.
Visitors to Potala have to go with a tour group, and obtain a special permit. Once in, you pass through hallways lit by butter lamps, and into public areas watched over by monks. In addition to the historic structures, the heritage site contains a vast collection of sacred texts and works of art. Withstanding the elements and political struggle, Potala Palace remains an embodiment of Tibetan culture.

Norbulingka 羅布林卡 in Lhasa, Tibet -China, once served as the summer residence of the Dalai Lama. Norbulingka means Jewelled Park and was built as a palace for the 7th Dalai Lama in the 18th century. But every future Dalai Lama has built his own palace just next to the existing ones. Thus arose an extensive complex of 36 acres with several palaces.
Today Norbulingka is a public museum and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001.

Norbulingka bedeutet Juwelengarten. Ursprünglich wurde hier im 18.Jahrhundert ein Palast für den 7. Dalai Lama errichtet, doch jeder zukünftige Dalai Lama errichtete sich einen eigenen daneben. So ist eine 36 Hektar große Anlage mit mehreren Palästen entstanden.
Heute ist er ein öffentliches Museum und wurde 2001 zum Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO erklärt.

In Lhasa, Tibet, China, we had a prime view from the hotel room on a schoolyard. It was interesting for us to observe the goings-on. The flag salute on the court reminded us a little at a booth on the computer fair CeBIT in Hannover in the morning.
In the first break, the children romped on the schoolyard like ours, to live out their urge to move. Of course, like all children in the world, they had a lot of mischief in their heads.
