At dawn, in front of the Jokhang Temple
January 1994
| As the sun creeps over the high mountains and before the Jokhang’s doors open, the kora slowly fills with people engaged in morning worship, youth alongside adult. While as in other societies worship attracts individuals more as they age, Buddhism is integral to Tibetan upbringing from early childhood. |
