Jokang Prostrators, Lhasa
Prostrating in front of the Jokang Temple, Lhasa. Housing the image of Lord Buddha
brought by Wen Chen konjo in the 7th cent., the Jokang marks the center of TiebtÕs
sacred realm. One pilgrim recalls his visit. ÔWe did not pause to find lodging or even
drink a cup of hot tea, but headed straight for the Jokang. There, we paid homage to
the JowoÉ
the most sacred image in the whole of Tibet and the source of countless miracles. We offered many butter lamps and prayed long and earnestlyÓ.
