So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Potala Palace: What's Inside This Magnificent Palace

By Spencer Tabbs


Would you love to explore a real life palace? Go to China's Tibet Autonomous Region and you find a marvelous sight. The Potala Palace, named after Mount Potala, is one of the renowned palaces in the northern region. Created by the Great Fifth Dalai Lama, Lozang Gyatso, the Potala Palace was once used for government engagements. Overlaying the earlier fortress, the White or Red Palace, today the palace serves as a museum educating the public of what the city was back then. Prepare your Bloog Electronic Cigarettes as you gain knowledge of what the Potala Palace was in the earlier years.

During the mid 1600s, advisors of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama pointed out a site that is ideal for creating a seat of government; thus the Potala Palace came to be. The Potala Palace was erected over an old palace on the Red Hill conserving two chapels at the northwest corner of the palace - Phakpa Lhakhang and Chogyel Drupuk. Surprisingly the external facade was erected within 3 years, however, it took 45 years for the interior including the furnishing to finish. Once it was ready, the Dalai Lama and his government moved into the White Palace (Potrang Karpo), but construction lasted until 1694 with the erection of the Red Palace (Potrang Marpo).

With your Bloog Electronic Cigarette Code on hand, discover the interior and purpose of the white palace. The White Palace is a part of the Potala Palace that was mainly secular in use. Inside the White Palace are the living quarters of the Dalai Lama, offices, seminary, and a printing house. When you further explore the area you will find a courtyard that separates the living quarters of the Dalai Lama and his monks. You can also find giant banners embroidered with holy symbols in the White Palace. During the New Year festivals these banners are hung across the south face of the Potala for everyone to see.

Finally, you can find the Potala Palace's religion-filled are - the Red Palace. The purpose of the Red Palace's significance is that is completely is an area that devotes to religious study and Buddhist prayer; usually used by monks. It has complicated layouts of numerous halls, chapels and libraries on various levels with a complex array of smaller galleries and winding roads.
