When the Tibetans from the high plateau of Northeast settled in the Indus Valley around 500-600 BC, they mostly followed the Bon religion. In 7th century Buddhism was brought to this region of Ladakh by the great Lama Songsten Gampo which soon spread across Zanskar and beyond. And due to the isolation of Zanskar the area has remained devoutly Buddhist to this day.

Jokhang Tempel

Der Jokhang ist das bedeutendste Heiligtum innerhalb des Lhasa Tsuglagkhang und liegt inmitten der Altstadt von Lhasa. Für die Tibeter bildet er eine Art Zentralheiligtum, zu dem man nach Möglichkeit mindestens einmal im Leben gepilgert sein sollte. Etwa 2 km südöstlich des Potala-Palastes liegt der Jokhang-Tempel, er stammt aus dem 7. Jahrhundert und wurde von König Songtsen Gampo errichtet. Der König ließ den Tempel als Aufbewahrungsort für die von seinen beiden Bräuten, Prinzessin Bhrikuti aus Nepal und Prinzessin Wencheng aus dem China der Tang-Zeit, mitgebrachten Statuen aufbauen. Die von Prinzessin Wencheng mitgebrachte Statue des Sakyamuni-Buddha ist das Herzstück des Jokhang-Tempels und das ultimative Ziel der Pilgerreise für tibetische Pilger. Als wichtiger Pilgerort für alle Tibeter sieht man hier viele betende Menschen die auf dem Gehweg außerhalb des Tempels immer wieder auf die Knie fallen und Gebete vorsagen. Im Inneren des Tempels befinden sich viele Statuen und Mönchen beim Gebet und Gesang. Der Tempel hat vier Stockwerke und ist mit viel Gold verziert. Besucher können von der zweiten Etage aus das wunderschöne, mit Blattgold beschichtete Dach und die Schnitzereien besichtigen. Im Innenbereich des Tempels dürfen keine Fotos gemacht werden.

Lawsuit claims camera hidden in shower at Cape Breton Buddhist monastery

Two Nova Scotia-based Buddhist organizations are being sued after a high-ranking monk allegedly installed a video camera in a communal shower at a Cape Breton monastery.

In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Nova Scotia Supreme Court, Christopher Longoria of Texas alleges he was filmed while taking a shower in November 2021 at Gampo Abbey monastery, where he was living and working.

The lawsuit alleges the monastery and its umbrella organization -- Shambhala Canada Society -- were negligent in failing to protect residents' privacy and are liable for the privacy violations.

The claim alleges the video camera belonged to head monk Jack Hillie, who did not have "a valid lawful justification for this invasion of privacy."

Hillie was criminally charged with voyeurism on April 4, 2022, relating to alleged offences between December 2020 and November 2021, according to court records. He is scheduled to enter a plea in Port Hawkesbury provincial court on July 4.

The civil lawsuit says Longoria arrived at the remote monastery in November 2021, planning to stay until he was ordained as a monk. About a week later, he was showering when he saw a camera attached to the wall. The suit alleges he took the camera to Hillie, who said the camera belonged to him.

Longoria allegedly used the monastery's landline to call police, who told him to report it in the morning as "he was in no immediate danger." Longoria reported the incident to local police the following day, handing over the video camera, including a memory card that contained footage.

"Police later confirmed that the camera contained video footage filmed unknowingly of others in the monastery showers, and that there was further video footage of a similar nature stored at the monastery," the suit alleges.

Basia Sowinski, a lawyer representing Longoria, said other complainants may come forward.

"I'm hoping other residents become aware of the situation, and if they were there at the same time as our client, or perhaps prior, it's possible that they could have been filmed in the showers as well," she said in an interview.

None of the allegations have been proven in court. Attempts to reach Hillie and the Gampo Abbey monastery were not immediately successful. Deborah Luscomb, director of community and culture for the Halifax Shambhala Centre, said by email that she was "not interested or available to comment."

The civil suit seeks general damages for pain and suffering, describing the intrusion as "highly offensive due to the inherently private nature of showering." It says the incident caused Longoria "severe distress, humiliation and anguish."

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 15, 2023.

Real progress on the path comes from the blessings are sparked by your devotion. Most of the great teachers of the past attained realization through devotion to their gurus. For examples, so great was the devotion of some of Gampopa's disciples that they realized the nature of mind simply by laying eyes on the Dagla Gampo mountain where he lived.

真正道上的增進來自於您虔誠所激發之加持。過往大多數偉大的導師皆是通過對上師的虔誠而獲得証悟。例如，岡波巴的一些弟子的虔誠是如此之大，以至於他們僅僅通過注視他的住所達格拉岡波山就認識了心的本性。

The Epic Journey of Buddhism: From Nepal to the World

Embark on the epic journey of Buddhism from Nepal to the world, exploring its influence in Myanmar, Japan, China, and the teachings of the Dalai Lama. Imagine a time, over two thousand years ago, in a lush, green valley in what we now call Nepal. A prince named Siddhartha Gautama was born, destined to become the Buddha. He grew up surrounded by luxury, shielded from the harsh realities of life. But one day, he ventured out of his palace and encountered suffering, old age, and death. This experience sparked a profound transformation within him. He renounced his royal life, embarked on a quest for enlightenment, and after years of meditation under the Bodhi tree, he achieved a state of profound understanding. This moment marked the birth of Buddhism, a philosophy centered on the alleviation of suffering and the pursuit of inner peace. As Siddhartha began to share his teachings, word spread like wildfire across the Indian subcontinent. His ideas resonated with many, offering a path to liberation through mindfulness, compassion, and ethical living. But the story doesn’t end there; it’s just the beginning. Fast forward to the 7th century, where the icy peaks of the Himalayas stand tall and majestic. Here, Buddhism was about to embark on a spectacular journey into Tibet. Enter King Songtsen Gampo, a visionary ruler who recognized the power of these teachings. He married two Buddhist princesses, one from Nepal and one from China, who brought with them not just their beauty but also the sacred texts and practices of Buddhism. Imagine the royal court, filled with discussions about compassion, mindfulness, and the nature of reality, as these teachings began to take root in Tibetan soil.

The Chinese government has invested hundreds of millions to repair ancient temples in Tibet

In 2005, Tibet invested 4.99 million yuan to repair and protect the key cultural relic protection unit, Darjeeling Temple. This ancient Gelugpa temple, which was built in the 11th century AD, will regain its glory after thousands of years of vicissitudes. At the same time, this is also one of Tibet's large-scale repair and protection of key cultural relics and historical sites in the country.

It is understood that Darjeeling Temple is a key cultural relic protection unit at the level of the Tibet Autonomous Region. It was built in the late period of Tibetan Buddhism in the 11th century AD. The temple was renovated and expanded during the Fifth Dalai Lama's period. After several repairs, it has formed its current scale. The temple has a unique architectural style, precious cultural relics in the temple, and exquisite mural art. It is of great value in studying the history of Tibetan architecture and painting art. Tibet has officially launched the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" key cultural relics protection project, with a total investment of 570 million yuan to repair and protect 22 key cultural relics and historical sites in Tibet. The total investment exceeds the previous three major cultural relics repair projects of the Potala Palace, Norbulingka and Sakya Temple. This is also the cultural relics protection project with the largest one-time investment by the government in Tibet. Changzhu Temple, located in the suburbs of Zetang Town, Shannan Prefecture, Tibet, is undergoing the largest and most extensive repair in history. This is one of the repairs of 22 cultural relics sites in Tibet during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period in my country. This repair project with a total investment of 28.58 million yuan As one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Tibet, Changzhu Temple has now evolved into a large-scale temple. Historical records show that in the middle of the seventh century AD, the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo built 12 Buddhist temples such as the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa in Yalong (now Shannan area) and Lhasa. Changzhu Temple was the first Buddhist temple among them and became the place where Songtsen Gampo practiced Buddhism and practiced. The 2009 three major cultural relics protection and maintenance projects in Tibet, namely the Potala Palace, Norbulingka and Sakya Monastery maintenance projects, are key cultural aid projects identified by the Fourth Central Tibet Work Symposium and one of the 117 projects in the 15th Five-Year Plan for Tibet. The total investment in the three major projects approved by the state is 380.59 million yuan.
