Jokhang Temple ("House of the Lord") in Lhasa is the holiest site in Tibetan Buddhism, attracting crowds of prostrating Tibetan pilgrims and curious foreign tourists every year. It hosts the annual Great Prayer Festival, as well as all ceremonies of initiation for the Dalai Lama and Panchen Llamas.
Jokhang Temple was founded in 647 by King Songtsen Gampo (r.617-49), the first ruler of a unified Tibet, and his two foreign wives who are credited with bringing Buddhism to Tibet. The king's first wife, Princess Bhrikuti (married in the 630s), was the sister of the Nepalese king, while his second wife, Princess Wencheng (married 641), was the niece or daughter of the Chinese emperor.

www.artmif.lv | As I wander the planet, I am keenly aware of light and form. My eyes are in a constant search for ways of translating what I see into a record that holds some representation of the beauty before my eyes, that I can in turn, share with others. Sometimes I feel like little more than a skilled translator, other times I know that what I've seen and held would be missed by many.
