151. The Crowned Buddha statue or Jowo, Tibet’s most sacred statue. It is of Bengali origin and was brought to Lhasa from China in the seventh century by Princess Wen Cheng, the Chinese bride of King Songtsen Gampo. It is housed in the Jokhang, Lhasa’s principal temple. During the Cultural Revolution it was removed and abandoned in a warehouse. But, being of massive bronze, it was not destroyed and was later restored to its former place in the Jokhang. The crown of red-colored gold, set with corals and turquoise was destroyed, but this new one has been offered by the faithful in recent years. 1985La statue de Jowo, le bouddha couronné, la plus sacrée du Tibet. D’origine bengalaise, elle fut apportée de Chine à Lhassa au VIIe siècle par la princesse Wen Cheng, la femme chinoise du roi Songtsèn Gampo, et installée dans le Jokhang, le temple principal de Lhassa. Pendant la révolution culturelle, elle fut enlevée et abandonnée dans un entrepôt. Comme elle était de bronze massif, elle échappa à la destruction et par la suite fut remise en place dans le Jokhang. La couronne d’or rouge incrustée de coraux et de turquoises fut détruite, mais une autre a été récemment offerte par des fidèles. 1985
