Vajra Sky Over Tibet - Part 4


The trip continues with the visit to the nunnery, showing the nuns making cult objects and prayer wheels, then the Tibetan religious art is described, including a presentation of Chenrizi (Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit). The destruction of the temples, especially during the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the authorities control over religious practice is shown further. The 4th part ends with a trip to the Potala Palace, the most famous building in Tibet.
