Potala Palace

The residence of the Dalai Lama is an immense religious structure and a masterpiece of Tibetan architecture.

This is something that can’t be missed. Even the locals take the climb slowly. For those that are not used to the altitude just take it easy and steady with lots of stops on the way up. The view from the top and the tour around the palace is well worth the effort and a must do.

Ani Tsankhung Nunnery

Ani Tsankhung Nunnery was built in the 7th century by Songsten Gampo who used its meditation chamber.The monastery is a yellow building which lies on the street parallel and north of Chingdol Dong Lu in Lhasa. Since the 12th century the monastery has been used chiefly by Buddhist nuns. The nunnery's main hall contains a beautiful image of Chenrezi, the multi-armed bodhisattva of Compassion. The sacred meditation chamber lies behind it.

This nunnery was not as modest as seen in other parts of Asia where the nuns seem to get short shrift of the material wealth of the monasteries. Apparently the Jokhang Temple shares some proceeds with the nuns and they have a nice small gift shop as well. Outside were half a dozen nuns prostrating themselves over and over. We were advised that they are trying to match a past leader who did 100,000 prostrations. It would take them about a month, full-time, to accomplish this and they have some sort of clicker/counter on their wrists to keep track of the number. Sweet small nunnery and right of Barkor Square so easy to see after the temple.
