紅宮內有哪些著名宮殿?
紅宮,宮牆塗成紅色,藏語稱為Ho-Brang-Dmar-Po,意為紅色的宮殿,承襲了吐蕃時代紅宮的名稱。五世達賴喇嘛圓寂八年後,德司桑傑嘉措為紀念五世達賴並安放他的靈塔,乃主持修建紅宮,於1690年動工,1694年落成。

解構布達拉宮的白宮
白宮,藏語稱為Pho-Brang-Dkar-Po,因為宮殿的外牆塗以白色。在藏族的信仰中,白色是純潔神聖的象徵,藏族諺語「殺頭流奶」就是對白色尊崇的最好解釋,白色同樣是佛教的標誌,稱為「白業」(Las-Dkar)。

布達拉宮是宮殿還是寺廟?
藏族稱寺院或寺廟為「洲」(Gling)或「貢巴」(Mgon-Pa)。稱為「宮」(Pho-Brang)者,多為行政官員所在地,「布達拉宮」稱為「Pho-Brang-Pu-Ta-La」,說明布達拉宮不是寺廟而是宮殿。
