Jokhang Monastery
|
The golden-roofed structure was built 1,300 years ago and mainly to commemorate the marriage of the Tang princess Wen Chen to King Songtsen Gampo. The princesses brought the pure gold status of the Buddha Sakyamuni to Tibet. The Tang-Tubo Alliance Monument erected in 823 still stands in the square in
front of the Jokhang Monastery. The monument inscription reads in part,
"The two sovereigns, uncle and nephew, having come to agreement that
their territories be united as one, have signed this alliance of great
peace to last for eternity! May God and humanity bear witness thereto so
that it may be praised from generation to generation." China, just like many other countries, has 56 nationalities. We have been living together for thousand of years in the past. We certainly can live forever together in this country. There are so many racial fights elsewhere in other countries for the differences in religions. In China, we certainly accommodate all religions as long as they do not promote exclusiveness and fighting. See Religion |
