@Nvvchar: is the Lonely Planet travel guide the only source that makes this claim? Yoninah (talk) 22:04, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Yoninah Thanks for the review. I have added two more references. Gyurme Dorje's book is titled "Jokhang: Tibet's Most Sacred Buddhist Temple".Nvvchar. 02:11, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
