LHASA, TIBET, CHINA - 2000/05/01: A Tibetan Buddhist touches his nose with the tip of his tongue in a traditional Tibetan greeting, while circumambulating the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa. He holds a prayer wheel, which consists of a cylinder filled with Buddhist prayers printed on long strips of paper, all wound together. Tibetan Buddhists believe that spinning a prayer wheel once is the same as saying the written prayers held within. The Jokhang Temple is one of Tibetan Buddhism's most sacred sites, and all Tibetans hope to make a pilgrimage there at least once in their lifetime..
