The Jokhang (Tibetan: ཇོ་ཁང།, Chinese: 大昭寺), is a Buddhist temple in Barkhor Square in Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Lhasa city sits at an elevation of 3,650 meter or 12,000 feet so this makes for a great half day trip before you head up to Everest Base Camp in Tibet. Tibetans, in general, consider this temple as the most sacred and important temple in Tibet. The temple is currently maintained by the Gelug school, but they accept worshipers from all sects of Buddhism and pilgrims come from 1000's of kilometers around the Tibetan Plateau to worship here. The temple's architectural style is a mixture of Indian vihara design, Tibetan and Nepalese design.
The Jokhang Temple, considered the "spiritual heart of the city" and the most sacred place in Tibet, is at the center of an ancient network of Buddhist temples in Lhasa. It is the focal point of commercial and spiritual activity in Lhasa, city with a maze of streets radiating from it through out the Barkhor Square. The Jokhang is 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) east of the Potala Palace and the walk can be made in about 15 minutes. Barkhor, the market square in central Lhasa, has a walkway for pilgrims to walk around the temple (which takes about 20 minutes) and we think you will love walking this square with the local pilgrims.
The Barkhor Square is marked by four stone sankang (incense burners), two of which are in front of the temple and two in the rear and you can see these in our video.
