It is a golden ancient road connecting the grassland in northern Tibet and Lhasa plain. It is a Tibetan Buddhism Zhigong Kagyu temple, and also the main temple of Zhigong Kagyu. Zhigongti temple is fully known as "zhigongti Miyan chatu putizhou garden", He is the ancestor of Zhigong Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

Historical evolution

The founder of zhigongti temple is muyagongren, a disciple of pamuzhuba. In 1179, zhigongba renqinbei built the temple into a large temple, which is called zhigongti, namely zhigonggaju sect.

In 1179, renqinbei, one of the first disciples of Pazhu dojijeb (1110-1170), the founder of pazhugaju, came to Zhigong place and took over a small temple from the disciples of Muya Gongren. On this basis, zhigongti temple was founded. The sect developed from then on is called zhigonggaju sect, which is one of the "four big and eight small" sects of dabugaju.

In A.D. 1177, renqinbei accepted the precepts of Shami and bhikkhu, and became the leader of dansathi temple in Pazhu. Soon he was forced to leave dansathi temple. After zhigonggaju was founded, jingo zabajinai, who was born in the Lang family, was the leader of pazhudansati temple. From then on, pazhudansati temple was not only handed over to the Lang family, but also controlled by Zhigong school.

In 1290 ad, sakhabenqin agalun invited Kublai Khan to send troops to Tibet to attack Zhigong gorge, burned the Sutra Hall of zhigongti temple, destroyed 18 giant Buddhas and 7 Duomen pagodas, and it is said that more than 10000 monks and subordinates of Zhigong Kaju sect were killed in this war. The event was historically known as "Linluo" (meaning "the change of the temple").

In the middle of the 14th century, the strength of Zhigong Kagyu faction gradually recovered, and combined with Yasang, caiba and other wanhu to fight against pamozhu wanhu, but it was defeated and its strength weakened again. In the Ming Dynasty, wangrinpoche renqinbeijie, the leader of Zhigong Kagyu sect (the 13th leader of zhigongti Temple), was granted the title of king of elucidation by Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty in 1413 (the 11th year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty).

After the rise of the Gelug school in the 15th century, the Zhigong Kaju school resisted the Gelug school and was defeated. After the fifth Dalai was officially sealed by Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, the Zhigong Gaju sect had to be under the jurisdiction of Dalai. Since then, the Zhigong Kagyu sect has also adopted the reincarnation system of living Buddha.

According to the ancient tomb sites in Tibet, the celestial burial may have originated after the 7th century. Some scholars believe that heaven burial was founded by Zhigong Kagyu school. In 1179, zhigongba renqinbei built zhigongti temple in Zhigong of today's Mozhugongka County, and implemented and improved the heaven burial system at that time.

In 1982, with the approval of the people's Government of Tibet Autonomous Region, zhigongti Temple began to be restored and opened to the outside world. The state invested 130000 yuan in the restoration project of zhigongti temple.

Zhigongti temple has always been presided over by members of the jure family, except kanchingureva and juenongba, who were in charge of the temple during the extraordinary period. After the 23rd president Gong juepingcuo (1595-1660), the jure family was cut off and began to adopt the reincarnation system, forming two reincarnation systems.
