Heart of Devotion: My Visit to Jokhang Temple, Lhasa

#discoverchina
Stepping into Jokhang Temple, the spiritual pulse of Tibet, I was enveloped by the murmurs of prayers and the glow of butter lamps. Pilgrims in traditional dress prostrated themselves before the sacred Jowo Rinpoche, their devotion palpable in the air. The scent of juniper incense mingled with the rhythmic chants of monks, while sunlight streamed through ancient doorways, illuminating intricate murals. Joining the kora around Barkhor Street, I spun prayer wheels, my footsteps merging with centuries of faith. In that moment, amidst the swirling colors and whispered mantras, I felt an profound connection—to history, to spirituality, to Tibet’s unshakable soul. A true pilgrimage.
