“Located on the Tibetan plateau in a valley surrounded by mountains, Lhasa, one of the highest cities in the world with an altitude of 3658m, is “the Land of the Gods”. It has become an essential place of pilgrimage in Tibet as the sacred city has conserved the memory of its ancestral religious practices for ages. François Jouffa has collected ancient Buddhist prayers and authentic worksongs in the Jokhang Monastery which is both the centre and the symbol of the Holy city, one of the most important sites of spirituality in the Eastern world.” Susie JOUFFA
