Little Potala

As we all know the famous Potala palace in Tibet, there's a little replica in Yunnan too. Yes, the 松赞林寺 (Songzanling monastery) in Shangrila also has the main deity as Sakyamuni buddha. They also have statues of Maitreya🍃, and many other buddhas. It is highly believed that these little Tibetan population in Yunnan🏞️ has migrated during the olden trading days and then lead to the build of this Little Potala palace. In general, the buddha community have divisions like red head, yellow head, blue head based on their ideologies 🗣️ And here, it is the most revered yellow head which also symbolizes the prosperity✨. So you can see the temple painted in yellow. Totally, it was such a spiritual feeling😇. #shangrila #littlepotala #maydaytrip#urbanexplorer#happylaborday #maydaytrip#urbanexplorer#happylaborday
