5 Days in Tibet
Agosto 2011.
Lhasa (Tibet).
"The Jokhang is built over a lake and several legends attempt to explain the selection of such an unusual location. In one, Princess Wen Cheng chose Lake Wothang just to be contrary; presumably she was not happy being married off to a barbarian king and having to leave China. In another tale, Songtsen Gampo tossed a ring from his finger and promised to build the temple wherever it fell. When the ring landed in the lake, a stupa appeared magically and the Jokhang was constructed on this auspicious site. The stupa is said to be still beneath the temple. A stupa inside the building is considered the "upper" stupa. Murals near the entrance to the Inner Sanctum show the episode with lake, ring and stupa, and subsequent construction of the Jokhang. Goats helped fill the lake by carrying earth on their backs, as shown in the mural. Indeed, one explanation for the the name Lhasa is that it evolved from the word Rasa, with "ra" in Tibetan meaning "goat."
