historical origin

The only source of happiness and happiness for all sentient beings is the Dharma of Buddha Sakyamuni. This perfect Dharma is widely held and lives in the world, and depends on the great Sangha people. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the highly respected great achievers have created countless great Sangha temples all over the world, regardless of the world, international and national fields. The Snow Mountain Buddhist kingdom has also become a holy land for all living beings.

Antra gavo

--At the beginning of spreading Buddhism here

Anqu jiawo, whose real name is awan luosang, is the son of Anqu gatye. He is a scholar who is proficient in Confucian classics and is well-informed. He went to Gandan temple in Lhasa for further study. He studied five great treatises and four sequels diligently, and obtained the degree of Linder bagsi. He received the great precepts under the guidance of the fifth Panchen master rosang Yixi, and was awarded the incarnation of the Saint wagra (one of the sixteen Arhats). After returning home from his studies, he carried forward the teaching methods of Gelug school, taught guanding, narrating, teaching and so on. He spread the Shami and bhikkhu precepts widely, accepted numerous disciples, and transformed countless beings.

Anqu area was originally a place where Benbo religion was very prosperous, and its believers were all Benbo believers, so the power of spreading Buddhism was very weak. After returning to his hometown, Anqu jiawo stayed in the Red Palace. He had a good horse and would go hunting in the grassland and forest from time to time. On the way back from hunting, he dismounted at the place where the Benbo believers could see it with their own eyes, tore the prey into pieces, cooked the meat and bones in the stove, and after enjoying a good meal, spread out the skin of the prey, put all the remaining meat and bones in it, then raised his arm and clapped his hands, and the prey immediately got up and ran to the forest or grassland, Benbo believers are not from the heart of envy, he offered praise of hada.

One day, the opening ceremony of a new temple will be held. The monks discuss whether to invite antra gavo, because he is a local star with strong influence and high achievements. However, they are very worried that he will take unexpected actions tomorrow. The next day Anju jiawo went to the banquet in time and called out "Alas!" when he stepped into the door of the hall The whole hall was shocked, because it was an auspicious day and it was the time to enter the gate. How could you breathe out a sigh of sorrow? How unlucky! All the people in the hall didn't know what to do, but the brilliant jiawo calmly explained to them with the theory of Buddhist Origin, which solved their doubts and won the praise of the people. Like this, he constantly influences people with all kinds of special responses!

Later, the number of Benbo believers in this area gradually decreased, temples moved to other places, the sacred Buddhist teachings began to spread, and the pagan believers also converted to Buddhism. However, the buildings and sacred objects of the temple are still left. After more than 300 years, the ancient books and statues of the temple are still preserved. During the cultural revolution in the late 1970s, when the red guards burned books against religion, they destroyed and burned all the books and statues inside, leaving no sacred objects. Fortunately, in order to protect the building, the local people used it as a warehouse for storing crops, so it was spared and preserved during the cultural revolution. After the religious policy was opened in the 1980s, the local people took it as a temple in the village, repaired the trellis and used it as a place for Buddhist activities. It has been well preserved.

Anqu tribe

In ancient times, in the Ali Region of the Himalayas and the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, ye rang, ye Se were known as the three brothers of the God of heaven. Ye rang had seven children, the youngest of whom was yashangji. Yashangji robbed the wife of chamu (yecha grey too bloodless) of Saint Buji and had a son with her. Therefore, his son was the son of the marriage of Sheng and Kun, so he was named achekunbaji. Since then, the clan name has been "Kun" for generations. According to history, this is the descendant of the same ancestor as Sakya.

In the period of chisongdezan, the 36th generation of Tubo Dynasty, there was a son named Kun huabuche in this family. The king of Tibet, Chisong Dezan, highly appreciated his talent and later appointed him a cabinet minister. Chisong Dezan, the king of Tibet, had three proud ministers of "body, mouth and mind", and gave them the seals of "hum, ah and hum". Kun huabuche got the seal of "ah" (Language seal), and the word Anqu (transliteration of Tibetan, meaning Sheng ah) began to spread.

After several generations, there was a son named Xi Rao Yun Dan, whose son Song Nan Nuo Bu led his family to Amdo area, and chose an auspicious and perfect place with vast territory and mild climate to live. It is adjacent to Jiamu chawalong (now Jiarong in malkang, Sichuan). The terrain is excellent. The front and back mountains are like fierce tigers and stubborn proud cows fighting for power. In the middle, they are like swaggering elephants persuading them to make peace with each other. The mountains are full of flowers and trees, colorful and fragrant. The sky is full of moon and auspicious auspiciousness. In a word, it has the auspicious appearance of flourishing monks, increasing Wen Sixiu, coming out in large numbers of eminent monks, and full of peaches and plums.

Red Palace, the first building of Charles Temple

In this auspicious and perfect place, the Anqu tribe lived and worked in peace and contentment, controlled the three tribes in the downstream of "hot", and created a four storey building "Red Palace". It is said that in the process of expanding the Red Palace in antujiawo, when drawing a mural of the king of heaven, the king of heaven appeared in person and made a promise to protect the temple.

predecessor

Suonan qiupei, the nephew of Anqu jiawo (1743-1789 A.D.), went to Gandan temple in Tibet to study and study hard at the age of 17, and obtained the degree of Laran bagsi. After he returned home from Lhasa, he preached the Scriptures and preached the Dharma here, and established the garqing temple, which is the predecessor of antra Chahar Temple (also known as the mother temple). Sonan qiupei is the first antra Rinpoche.

The second antra Rinpoche was born in 1799, and the third Gongtang master was certified as the reincarnation of antra sounan qiupei. A little longer, he went to the three major temples in Lhasa to study the perfect teaching method diligently, and became the top master of a generation of knowledgeable Tibetan Buddhism. When the venerable was 25 years old, he founded a lecture Academy in Anqu for teaching the third Gongtang master danbei zhongmi. He took the Red Palace as the Sutra hall and invited several fellow monks from the three temples to protect the temple. At that time, the monastery was called "zhuomanan baljieweilin" (meaning "Tara wins Yanglin").

On the edge of the Red Palace, there is a cypress tree. Master Anqu once preached Buddhist scriptures according to this tree. The master's preaching not only made his disciples achieve success, but also blessed the tree he was leaning on. A few years ago, a kind of sweet liquid overflowed from the tree. Curious children scratched and licked, and faithful believers collected it. Later, in order to protect the Holy tree, the Management Association surrounded it with iron bars. The cypress is still in good condition.

In 1823, master Anqu officially founded Charlie temple. When the master was building the Sutra hall, a construction worker named gengsang (meaning "Puxian") dug up a very magical statue of Manjusri from the ground and presented it to master Anqu. The master was very happy. For this reason, the master changed the name of the temple to "baldanma feeding sanggelin" (meaning auspicious Manjusri forest). In the biography of Ruyi tree, it is said that "the name is more Sangpu Ming, the words are more wonderful, the words are more elegant, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful, the words are more beautiful.

The third Anju Rinpoche, Jiayang qinraojatso, was born in 1849 in markang zhuokeji. At the age of 7, he was confirmed by the third Jiayang to sit in bed with barenppoche. A little longer, he traveled to the "three temples" in Tibet to study as a teacher. He once worshipped the 12th Dalai Lama and the 8th Panchen Lama as a teacher. He studied the great and small five Ming Dynasties and Buddhist classics. At the age of 22, he became the host of the Charlie temple. The temple was built in 1911, the Sutra hall was expanded in 1921, the sacrificial hall was built in 1927, and the Sutra hall was expanded again in 1934.

Former host

Charlie temple is one of the many temples of Gongtang master. The foundation and growth of Charlie temple are inseparable from the care and care of Gongtang master. In 1935, the sixth Gongtang master went to antra Chari monastery to meet antra Rinpoche, gyasang and chinreqatso. Before the third antra Rinpoche, Gongtang master got many inheritances, such as longevity Buddha guanding. The master will take antra Rinpoche as his teacher. At that time, antra Rinpoche was old and showed weak eyesight. Therefore, antra Rinpoche later gave the temple to master Gongtang and asked him to teach the temple.

In 1946, the master took charge of the educational affairs independently and established the examination system
