Tibet Lhasa 02 08 Jokhang Inside Maitreya  [13 of 36]


The inner sanctum of the Jokhang houses its most important images and chapels. In the central area is a large seated statue of Maitreya, the Future Buddha, with a photo of the Tenth Panchen Lama in his lap. Although there’s no photography allowed, here’s a photo from my 1993 trip.
