Temple creation

Yongzhonglin temple, also known as "re La yongzhonglin", is a famous local monastery in Tibet. Founded in 1834 (the 14th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty) by the great master Jiangun dawajianzan. At the beginning of the 19th century, under the gate of xiraogongjie, manri temple, a famous Tibetan monastery, there were two high disciples, namely NIMA Danzeng and dawajianzan. NIMA Danzeng succeeded manri temple to Kanbu. Dawajianzan made a new start and founded yongzhonglin temple. Because dawajianzan learned from manri temple, the contents and methods of practicing classics in yongzhonglin Temple all follow manri temple and exist as a branch of manri temple. Later, yongzhonglin temple not only inherited the tradition of manri temple, but also established its own Confucian philosophy system and a complete education system from enlightenment education to gexi degree. Its development surpassed that of manri temple, so many Kanbu of the mother temple were educated in manzhonglin temple. Yongzhonglin temple, together with its mother temple, manri temple, became the two largest monasteries in houzang.

legend

There are many legends about the formation of yongzhonglin temple. As early as 3000 years ago, renzeng chenbalangka (the father of lianhuaji in our religion) predicted that benboda temple would be born at the lower end of Wuyu in Tibetan area, and tuomei (later Jiangun dawajianzan), a conqueror from langwa (now ABA area in Sichuan Province), would build a temple here. When the king of Tibet, long song de Zan (755-797) invited lotus students to preach in Tibet, he once carried out "exterminating the original.". In the end, lianhuasheng prophesied: "not 'RERA' (the place where yongzhonglin temple is located) is' rerang '(meaning resurrection), and our religion will revive and prosper from here." Four hundred years ago, yongzhonglin temple was built. Nianmei raojianzan, the founder of manri temple, also predicted that there would be a large temple of this religion in "RERA" in the future. I don't know if he followed the forefathers' predictions. Jiangun dawajianzan actually built Yongzhong Qiulin temple, the largest temple of his own religion, on a cobble piled high platform at the foot of vilajesan mountain in rela village, Nanmulin county.
