"Lhasa" means "the holy place" or "Buddha" in Tibetan, and it has long been the political, economical, cultural, and religious center of Tibet. In 641 AD, Princess Wencheng suggested filling up the lake with earth carried by white goats for a temple. So people called the temple “Resa” (means “on goats’ backs” in Tibetan language). At last, Resa was translated to Lhasa. Lhasa is, true to its name, a “sacred place”.
