There are some that say change is inevitable, while others think that is created by natural influences. Does everything always happen for a reason? The Potala Palace once the home of Dalai Lama is now a sacred museum void of the once bustling holy men that roamed the halls. There is a sense of emptiness of yearning for the spirit of an almost forgotten past. Stairs lead up to the many mausoleum's of ancient bodies that lie in wait to observe their spiritual reincarnation. A monk greets the tourists and blesses them as they walk on bye...a Chinese, a Tibetan, a Canadian...the one commonality is to pay their respect and observe the past through eyes of a crumbling old building with emptiness in it's bossom. Potala Palace a place of grandness, history and mystery...a place of forgotten peace.

Your Potala Palace in Lhasa shows that I ended up a little off base, but I am certainly glad I stopped by. I will bookmark your site for a future read, and should you ever need it, there is plenty of information on this
