 In front of the Jokhang Temple by sachara
At the square in front of the Jokhang Temple you see a lot of small streetstalls, selling goods at the pilgrims, like scarfs, flags and thangkas. From the Temple you have a good view at this always busy square. Leave a Comment Address: LhasaDirections: Old towncentre

 Sera, burning yak butter by sachara
In front of statues, thangkas and stupas in Tibet you will find vessels for reception of offerings from devotees, usually containing five different elements: water, flowerseeds, incense, tsampa and butter for the lamps. These five kinds of offerings stand for the five aspects of wisdom and the five senses, the dhyani-Buddhas. Leave a Comment Address: Sera MonasteryDirections: 4 KM north of Lhasa

 Sera Monastery by sachara
As the Sera monastery was the first monastery we visited in Tibet, we were overwhelmed by the very colourful interior with red pillars and bright coloured and embroidered hangings and seeing the monks, making the conical tormas. It was really impressive to be there. Leave a Comment Directions: 4 Km north from Lhasa

 Drepung Monastery by sachara
Chortens, the Tibetan name for stupas or pagodas, contain often holy relics. Chortens became the pure symbols for the ultimate attainment, to be realized as no-attainment actually. The levels of a chorten from ground to peak symbolize the stages on the way, equated with the 5 elements.
The square base stands for earth, the round dome for water, the conical spire for fire, the umbrella for air and the peak for mind-essence. Leave a Comment Directions: 6 KM west of Lhasa

 Sera Monastery by sachara
It was a pity we lost so much time in Chengdu, waiting for our plane to Lhasa. So we could stay only for a short time at this monastery and did only visit one of the temples and not the rockpaintings up the mountain behind the monastery. Leave a Comment Directions: 4 KM north from Lhasa
