Photographer's Note

The Jokhang is the most celebrated temple in Tibet. It houses the most venerated statue of Jowo Rinpoche, one of the rare three statues created during The Buddha's lifetime.

For more than a thousand years millions of pilgrims have come here with devotion in their hearts; this cumulative focusing of intention and love has charged the Jokhang with an enormously powerful field of sanctity.

On the photo: prostrations in front of Jokhang.

Very interesting picture of people expressing their faith. The colors are good but it will be preferable to see at one time the people and the jokhang.
