Why Jokhang Temple Lhasa Matters

Cultural Heritage

The establishment of Jokhang Temple in the 7th century CE marked a pivotal moment in the institutionalization of Buddhism in Tibet, transcending its earlier, more diffuse presence. King Songtsen Gampo's strategic marriages facilitated the arrival of two profoundly sacred Buddha images: the Jowo Shakyamuni, depicting the Buddha at age twelve, brought by Princess Wencheng from Tang China, and the Akshobhya Buddha, brought by Princess Bhrikuti from Nepal. The enshrinement of the Jowo Shakyamuni within Jokhang transformed the site into the most revered spiritual axis of the nascent Tibetan Empire, establishing a foundational pilgrimage destination that would shape the religious landscape for centuries. This act solidified the king's commitment to the Dharma, laying the groundwork for future royal patronage. Beyond its initial construction, Jokhang served as a crucial political and religious nexus throughout Tibetan history. During the Ganden Phodrang era, it became the ceremonial heart of the Dalai Lamas' government, hosting their enthronement rituals and major state proclamations, thereby intertwining spiritual authority with temporal power. The extensive renovations spearheaded by the Fifth Dalai Lama in the 17th century not only expanded its physical grandeur but also reaffirmed its supremacy as the spiritual capital, preceding the completion of the Potala Palace. Even during periods of external influence, such as the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, the temple's sanctity ensured its preservation, often through the patronage of powerful Sakya lamas, underscoring its enduring historical resilience.
