history

Nanwu temple, the Tibetan name of Namu temple, is said to be paomashan fairy temple. Located 2.5km south of Kangding City, it is one of the famous temples in Kangding district. Together with the adjacent King Kong temple, it is known as "cloud forest of double temples" and one of the ancient scenes of Kangding. In the 11th century, it was built in today's paomashan in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning, it was a red cross religion. It was destroyed in the war in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Later, it was rebuilt in the site of "zhujuegang". In the 16th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1677 AD), the fifth Dalai Lama rangyatso presented zongkaba master, Dawei King Kong, auspicious Heavenly Mother and other Buddha paintings. He named it "gadeng zhupilin" as the Potala Palace nanjiazhacang branch temple. The Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty granted a plaque "nanjuegang" There is no temple.

In 867 ad, the Nanwu temple was built on Mount Paoma by the Ningma sect dadesangjiyinqing, and named "namuze" (Fairy top) after the site.

Later, Yundeng rangbu went to the place of rewa, the disciple of the adixia venerable in Tibet, and got all the inheritance of the gadang sect, so "namze" changed to the gadang sect. At that time, the temple was famous for its strict discipline. In 1279, Kublai Khan, Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, issued an edict to see yihidoji, Dade Maren of the temple, to praise him face to face, and invited him to the mainland to preach the Dharma.

In 1639, the temple was burned down by the Mongolian army. In 1646, the temple was rebuilt on the "rugang" (Longbei) where the former "namuze" was facing each other. It was descended from the first living Buddha of Daji, Awang, and changed to the Gelug Sect according to the instructions of the Fifth Dalai Lama. The temple was given the name of "gaden zhuopeilin", and a statue of zongkaba and Daweide, There are Thangka, private seal and handwritten inscription of the auspicious mother of heaven with the fingerprints of the Dalai Lama. Later, the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty granted a plaque to the emperor, which read "Nanwu Temple" and "namze" was renamed "Nanwu Temple"

From the middle of the 17th century to the middle of the 20th century, Nanwu temple has created many famous great virtues. There are three Tibetan Fawang, one Tibetan king, one Dalai Lama Sutra master and eight Kanbu people in the great temple. They have passed the examination and selected 18 gexi people through the defense at the ten thousand people's Church of Dazhao temple. One of the most influential was Rao Wangqiu in the Qing Dynasty, who was elected as the king of law of Tibet, employed as the Confucian teacher of the 12th Dalai Lama, and later elected as the king of Tibet.
