The Heritage of the Potala Palace

Rising above Lhasa, the Potala Palace is one of the most revered landmarks of Tibetan Buddhism. Historically the winter residence of the Dalai Lamas, it takes its name from Mount Potalaka, the sacred abode of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), the bodhisattva of compassion.

In Tibetan Buddhist practice, offering incense is an expression of generosity and devotion. Fragrance is offered to the Buddhas, bodhisattvas and lineage masters while cultivating the wish that all beings find happiness and freedom from suffering.
