Day 6 - Lhasa

Two sites in Lhasa were the focus of the pilgrimage. The first, the Potala Palace, I visited in the morning. The second, the Jokhang Temple, I visited in the afternoon. Both had a steady stream of pilgrims circling them (always in a clockwise direction) as they prayed. At the front entrance of the temple, pilgrims would stop and prostrate themselves while praying something I saw over and over again during the next several days. This physical act of prayer I am still marveling over.
