Every morning, pilgrims walk clockwise around Barkhor Street in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Most hold prayer wheels or beads, while others perform full-body prostrations. All maintain absolute silence. This practice has lasted for millennia, forming the core of Lhasa's cultural landscape and embodying the contemporary inheritance of Tibetan Buddhist ritual practices.
