Sino-Tibetan Treaty Inscription

Sino-Tibetan Treaty Inscription (Tibetan: གཙུག་ལག་ཁང་མདུན་གྱི་རྡོ་རིངས་, Wylie: gtsug lag khang mdun gyi rdo rings ; simplified Chinese: 唐蕃会盟碑; traditional Chinese: 唐蕃會盟碑; pinyin: Táng-Bō Hùiméng Bēi) 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.[1] Amy Heller's book Tibetan Art says, "(...) negotiations which in 822 A.D. resulted in the most important treaty between Tibet and China."[2]
