Pilgrim Steps’
“Twenty years ago I had the good fortune to visit Tibet. Long anticipated I flew alone over the Himalayas from central China to Lhasa. Arriving my kind Tibetan Guide made many sites available to me including The Potala Palace, The Home of The Dalai Lama since the seventh century. ‘Pilgrim Steps’ was a central door in The Potala. The knotted ropes are katas, Buddhist scarves used for ceremonial blessings offering respect and gratitude to Rinpoches and Lamas. Tying the scarves to the door furthers the blessings to all who enter. The stones steps are worn by century’s of pilgrims. The outer and inner door festooned with motifs each colour a symbol for earth, fire, water and air. The curtained embellishments a curiosity to me but widely decorated on exterior windows and doors. I feel huge gratitude for visiting many rooms within The Potala especially remembering the huge statues of Blessed Saints including Padmasambhava.” Jill
