Buddhist Stupa and Murals at Heinrich Harrer Museum
Highlight • Religious Site
The Tibet collection takes up a lot of space. Harrer came to Lhasa in 1946 and became an advisor and teacher to the young Tenzin Gyatsho, the XIVth Dalai Lama, with whom he remained friends for life. Harrer later wrote the book Seven Years in Tibet about his time in Tibet. In 1992 Tenzin Gyatsho himself inaugurated the Buddhist prayer room, which is located in the museum building. A photo shows him on the ceremonial chair in the throne room, on which only he as the Dalai Lama is allowed to sit. In addition, there is a large sand mandala on display, which was not destroyed after production as is usually the case.
The museum also has an exhibition on the oppression of Tibetans since the Tibetan uprising of 1959, the violations of human rights, the destruction of Tibetan culture and monasteries, the relics of Tibetan Buddhism, Bön and the mass immigration of Han Chinese.
