Sino-Tibetan Treaty Inscription


Sino-Tibetan Treaty Inscription is a stone pillar standing outside the Jokhang temple in Lhasa, Tibet. The inscription is written in both Tibetan and Chinese, concerning the treaty between the Tibetan Empire and Tang Empire in A.D. 821/823. Amy Heller's book Tibetan Art says, " negotiations which in 822 A.D. resulted in the most important treaty between Tibet and China."
