Potala Palace 布达拉宫, Tibet

布达拉宫（英文译音：the Potala Palace）屹立在西藏首府拉萨市区西北的红山上，是一座规模宏大的宫堡式建筑群。最初是松赞干布为迎娶文成公主而兴建的，17世纪重建后，布达拉宫成为历代达赖喇嘛的冬宫居所，也是西藏政教合一的统治中心。整座宫殿具有鲜明的藏式风格，依山而建，气势雄伟。布达拉宫中还收藏了无数的珍宝，堪称是一座艺术的殿堂。1961年，布达拉宫被中华人民共和国国务院公布为第一批全国重点文物保护单位之一。1994年，布达拉宫被列为世界文化遗产。

Chokpori 药王山, Tibet

药王山简介 　　 药王山。藏名“夹波日”，意为“山角之山”，在布达拉宫右侧，海拔3725米。图为药王山后面著名的万佛墙，附近有很多刻玛尼石的人家。 　　与布达拉宫咫尺相对，是拍摄布达拉宫最好的角度所在地，尤其是半山腰。清晨的药王山，经常可见些许摄影爱好者汇集与此等待第一缕光线照亮布达拉宫的瞬间。 　　药王山东侧有个洞窟式的小庙宇，是一座造型奇特的石窟寺庙，坐落在药王山东麓陡峭的山腰上，叫查拉鲁普。经过一千多年的风风雨雨，中间几经兴衰，这座拉萨地区罕见的石窟寺庙至今仍然保存完好。石窟呈不规则长方形，面积约27平方米，洞口有一中心柱，中心柱与洞壁之间是狭窄的转经廊道，岩壁上有69尊石刻造像，66道两边排列石刻神像，北面石壁上有松赞干布与文成、尺尊两位公主以及重臣吞米桑布扎、禄东赞的造像。洞内光线暗淡，全靠酥油供灯照明。如果去看，千万别忘了要带头灯。 　　药王山后面有拉萨十分著名的万佛墙，附近有很多刻玛尼石的人家。从西藏旅游局东面的一条小路一直往南走就可找到。 　　药王山传说 　　相传，它顶上的山崖是文成公主思念家乡时向东方朝拜的地方。洞窟开凿于松赞干布时代，据说藏王松赞干布的木雅妃如雍在查拉鲁普山崖上雕刻大梵天神像，用当时西藏很紧俏的盐作为工匠的报酬，掘崖粉一升，给盐一升。接着，又在石窟里开凿了转经廊道。经过一千多年的风风雨雨，中间几经兴衰，这座拉萨地区罕见的石窟寺庙至今仍然保存完好。 　　在药王山有一座千佛崖，巨大的崖壁上刻满了大大小小上千个佛像，十分壮观。时值今日，那叮叮咚咚的凿石声还不断地回荡在人们的耳际。 　　药王山上是拍摄布达拉宫最好的角度，尤其是半山腰。在旅行季节的清晨，经常会有密密麻麻的摄影师和摄影发烧友汇集在药王山上等待第一缕光线照亮布达拉宫的瞬间。 　　 药王山，藏名夹波日，意为“山角之山”。在拉萨市布达拉宫右侧。海拔3725米，有小路可至峰顶。 　　药王山与布达拉宫所在的红山咫尺相对，两山之间有市内的一条主要干道穿过。过去，两山由一座白塔相接，底层是门洞，是拉萨城的门户。60年代拉萨扩建，拆掉了佛塔，几十米宽的柏油路拉开了两山的距离。有人认为断了神脉，曾想法用经幡将两山连接起来。每年藏历年来临时，虔诚的信徒都要来此将新幡挂上。现已重新以塔相连。 　　药王山东侧有个洞窟式的小庙宇，是一座造型奇特的石窟寺庙，从落在药王山东麓陡峭的山腰上，叫查拉鲁普。相传，它顶上的山崖是文成公主思念家乡时向东方朝拜的地方。洞窟开凿于松赞干布时代，据说藏王松赞干布的木雅妃如雍在查拉鲁普山崖上雕刻大梵天神像，用当时西藏很紧俏的盐作为工匠的报酬，掘崖粉一升，给盐一升。接着，又在石窟里开凿了转经廊道。经过一千多年的风风雨雨，中间几经兴衰，这座拉萨地区罕见的石窟寺庙至今仍然保存完好。石窟呈不规则长方形，面积约27平方米，洞口有一中心柱，中心柱与洞壁之间是狭窄的转经廊道，岩壁上有69尊石刻造像，廊道两边排列石刻神像，北面石壁上有松赞干布布与文成、尺尊两位公主以及重臣吞米桑布扎、禄东赞的造像。洞内光线暗淡，全靠酥油灯照明。如果去看，千万别忘了要带头灯。 　　药王山后面有拉萨十分著名的万佛墙，附近有很多刻玛尼石的人家。从西藏旅游局东面的一条小路一直往南走就可找到。 　　 提示： 　　药王山上现在的一片废墟原是座门巴扎仓（藏医学院），因具有宗教的性质，也称药王庙。释迦能医治百病，相传药王就是释迦牟尼佛的一个化身。从吐蕃王朝时代西藏民间出现藏医算起，这门古老的学问已经流传了1000多年。７世纪，文成公主远嫁吐蕃的时候，从大唐带去了汉文化，其中有本中医书叫《医学大全》。此后金城公证再嫁吐蕃，又带去了医书《月王药诊》，使得中医的一些理论和方法逐步融汇到藏医之中。8世纪，著名“医圣”宇妥·元丹贡布到印度学医，继承发展了中医和印度医学，著《四部医典》。药王庙逐渐集中了一批学识渊博的藏医，大约在17世纪发展为藏医学府，慕名而来的求学者使这座小庙日见兴盛。17世纪末，第巴·桑结嘉措为发展藏医，在山上修建门巴扎仓（医药院），从各寺选拔部分喇嘛来此学习医药知识。60年代以后，原属于药王庙的藏医合并到门孜康，成为现在的藏医院。它的门诊大楼就在大昭寺西面宇妥桥的附近。为纪念藏医的始祖，那条路命名为宇妥路。 　　 交通提示：上山的小路在布达拉宫右侧对面马路、白塔后面。
