Paponka

Paponka

It's one of the most famous places in Lhasa. According to the Tibetan historical records, it was built under the leadership of Songzan Ganbu at first. It was here that tunmi sangbuza created Tibetan language and left six words of truth written by him. In addition, there are self images of the three masters of Hu and the practice caves of Songzan Ganbu and others here. As a result, this place has gained a sacred and magical status. At the end of Tubo Period, damozanpu (langdama) burned pabanka when he destroyed Buddhism. It was revived at the end of the 11th century. Since the Qing Dynasty, all generations of the Dalai Lama have received the Buddhist rites and precepts for reincarnation. After obtaining the gexi degree, they also have to come here to hold a celebration ceremony. The Khenpo code of pabangka is appointed by gaxia.
