JOWO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA STATUE POSTER

Every Tibetan looks to Lhasa as the most sacred place of pilgrimage and the Jokhang Temple is the primary place to visit. Within the Jokhang, the main object of devotion is the Jowo Rinpoche statue--the principal Shakyamuni Image. It is a special object of faith and reverence among the Tibetan people. It was believed that whatever prayer one offers in front of Jowo Rinpoche never goes unfulfilled. That's why Tibetans call Jowo Rinpoche, "Joshak-Yishin Norbu" the wish-fulfilling Gem.

This poster offers a stunning view of this sacred statue.
