    At the end of the Kora or Circumambulation of the monastery stands the Chorten or Stupa who also is circumambulate clockwise.
    Labrang Tashikyil monastery is one of six great Gelukpa monasteries in Tibet and, although many small capels have yet to be restored, it is amongst the handful anywhere in Tibet that survived the Cultural Revolution relatively intact. It was founded in 1709 by the First Jamyang Zhepa Ngawang Tsondru འཇམ་དབྱངས་བཞད་པ་ངག་དབང་བརྩོན་འགྲུས་ (1648-1721), who was revered as an emanation of Tsongkhapa`s teacher Umapa Pawo Dorje. Within the Gelukpa hierarchy, the incarnations of Jamyang Zhepa are superseded only by the Dalai and Panchen Lamas. During his studies in Lhasa, where he was a contemporary of Desi Sangye Gyatso, he received his title `Jamyang Zhepa`(laughing Manjughosa), when a statue of Manjughosa (Jamyang) laughed at his prostrations. Returning to his homeland, he then founded the most powerful monastery in Amdo, under the patronage of Chahan Tendzin Ponjunang, a prince of the Qosot Mongolians.At its high point Labrang Tashikyil monastery housed 4000 monks, and when the Fifth Jamyang Zhepa passed away in 1947 there were 300 geshes, 3000 monks and 50-100 incarnate lamas. The precent incubent, the Sixth Jamyang Zhepa, who lives in Lanzhou, presides over a much depleted monastery where there are barely more than 1000 monks.

  • "你最後一次在那裏被嚇壞了? Where was the last place you freaked out?" / SML.20121219.IPH5.360Pano.HLnwCB

    See-ming Lee 李思明 SML has added a photo to the pool:

    "你最後一次在那裏被嚇壞了? Where was the last place you freaked out?" street signage as part of a public art installation in Hong Kong by @MrJamesReeves and @CandyChang from Civic Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, US.

    Panoramic photo taken after the show Design Renegade / Detour 2012 was over when SML was asked to help the artist take down the signs.

    As SML has suggested earlier: although street art is illegal over the entire world, having someone carry the signs around town and pose on the street is both legal and far more effective, but obviously SML's marketing opinions are not generally agreed by humans. :)
