Dazhao Temple, also known as "Zulakang", "Juekang" (Tibetan meaning Buddhist temple), is located in the center of the old city of Lhasa. It is a Tibetan Buddhist temple built by the Tibetan king Songzan Ganbu. The reason why Lhasa has the reputation of "Holy Land" is related to this Buddha statue. The temple was originally called "Lhasa" and later became the name of the city and evolved into the current "Lhasa". After the completion of the Dazhao Temple, it was revised and expanded repeatedly in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to form the present scale. Dazhao Temple has a history of more than 1300 years, and has the supreme position in Tibetan Buddhism. Dazhao Temple is the most brilliant building in Tibet during the Tubo period, and the earliest civil structure building in Tibet. It also initiated the Tibetan-style temple-city regulation. The circle of Sakyamuni Buddhist Hall around the inner center of Dazhao Temple is called "sack outline", the circle around the outer wall of Dazhao Temple is called "eight outlines", and the street radiated out of Dazhao Temple is called "eight outlines street" or octagonal street. Taking the Dazhao Temple as the center, the Potala Palace, Yao Wang Mountain and Xiaozhao Temple are included in a large circle called "Lin Ge". The three rings from the inside to the outside are the routes of the Tibetan people's ritual of traveling through Buddhist scriptures. The Dazhao Temple, which combines Tibetan, Tang, Nepalese and Indian architectural styles, has become a thousand classical models of Tibetan religious architecture. In front of the temple, incense was burning all day long. The devout worship of the believers left deep marks on the bluestone floor in front of the temple. Thousands of butter lamps are bright, leaving traces of time and pilgrims.

    It is worth a visit, very shocking, you can bring some change. The tour guide explained very well, and explained the culture and history to everyone in detail. It is a worthwhile trip. There is no unique holy place in the world.

    Director Cui is very dedicated, knowledgeable, detailed explanation of each Buddha hall, allusions, anecdotes! The meaning is still not enough! A glimpse of Sakyamuni's 12-year-old Buddha statue, such as seeing the Buddha's own master, there is no regret in this life! ! !

    When you arrive in Tibet, you must go to the temple. The Jokhang Temple is a must-go temple. You will not regret it. Traveling is to spend money to feel different cultures. The vast and profound Buddhist culture like the sea makes the soul feel pure and nourished.

    Lhasa, the name of faith, is really a city without oxygen and without faith. The strength of culture and national unity in Barkhor Street is worth learning, the strength of leisure culture and faith, and the development of national strength. I hope that this city will continue to promote civilization with tourism and faith and unity. Let more people learn about the cultural city of Lhasa, the name of the Western faith

    The first time I came to Tibet, the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa was of course a must. I made an appointment on the official website one day in advance, and I could buy a ticket when I arrived. It was very convenient. There is a open space for worship before entering. Be careful when you come in, because many believers will put their strings on the ground and will kick them if they are not careful. After entering, there will be a tourist route, you can visit in the direction. You can enjoy the murals, the architectural characteristics of the temple, and the door hangings are full of Tibetan colors, which is very beautiful. There are many Buddhas in it, and you can visit for blessings. There are more people, you can walk slowly.

    Our main purpose was to visit the Potala Palace and by the way, wandering around the most famous Barkhor Street in Lhasa, where the sky was blue and blue! Then went to the place of faith - Jokhang Temple, a paradise for pilgrims! I am just interested in its architecture, because it is passing by during the epidemic, there are few people, and you can take pictures outside!

    There are many Buddhist stories in the Jokhang Temple. Generally, you have to understand them after introduction. Fortunately, the tour guide of the Jokhang Temple this time is more excellent and detailed than the explanation of the Potala Palace. It is recommended.
