After being expanded year by year, it became a living Buddha Zhuba Renbo in 1855 A.D. and was taught by Shangshi garden of Muslim Buddhism. It became a famous temple specializing in Hongchuan garden. By 1911, master Jiase, the son of Zhuba renboqi, had made great achievements and was famous both at home and abroad. Lamas from kangzang, Qinghai, Gansu, Shanghai and other places, monks from India, Sikkim, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries came in an endless stream. Among them, great achievements have been made by Guru genzao Mixian, who founded Shanghai Changle jingshe, the leader of Huajiao sect, sagagongma, the great Lama of Hongjiao sect, jiangyangche and Luozhen, and the Indian monk gendunquepi. Since then, Anzhang temple has been regarded as the only holy land for red sect preaching. It is also the place where red, white, flower, benzene and other religions and religious celebrities from all over the world often come to build. Later, the king and queen of Bhutan visited the temple one after another, adding to the glory of the temple in history. It was approved by the county government as an open temple in 1983 and registered by the state government in 1996. The temple is famous for its gold-plated bronze statues, exquisitely made Thangka paintings and pagodas inlaid with emeralds, agates, pearls and corals. Because the temple actively responded to the call of the government during the people's reform movement and was specially protected by the party and the government, there was little damage and less loss during the "Cultural Revolution". In the 1980s, Baiyu county government successively allocated 29700 yuan for the maintenance of the temple, making the temple more brilliant than before.
