Cultural Heritage
The genesis of Jokhang Temple, originally known as Rasa Tulnang Tsuklakang, is steeped in a profound geomantic narrative, where King Songtsen Gampo sought to subdue a formidable demoness believed to lie beneath Tibet. Legend dictates the temple's foundation was laid over Wotang Lake, which was filled by a thousand goats, symbolizing a sacred act of territorial pacification and spiritual anchoring. Crucially, the temple became the ultimate sanctuary for the revered Jowo Shakyamuni statue, a sacred image believed to have been blessed by the Buddha himself, originating from Magadha in India. This statue, initially brought by Princess Wencheng, King Songtsen Gampo's Chinese consort, was later moved from Ramoche Temple to Jokhang, solidifying its preeminent spiritual status. Beyond its foundational myths, Jokhang Temple evolved into a pivotal political and religious institution within the burgeoning Tibetan Empire. Its architectural synthesis, drawing deeply from Indian Vihara and Gupta styles, alongside Nepalese craftsmanship, reflected the active cultural exchange fostered by Songtsen Gampo. The temple later became the spiritual heart of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, particularly after the reforms initiated by Je Tsongkhapa in the 15th century. It served as the traditional venue for the enthronement ceremonies of the Dalai Lamas, underscoring its unparalleled authority. Tragically, the temple suffered extensive damage during the Cultural Revolution (c. 1966-1976 CE), when it was reportedly desecrated and its sacred artifacts destroyed or removed, marking a dark chapter in its long history before subsequent restoration efforts.
