Zhuomalacan

Zhuomalacan

Zhuomalakang, located in nitang District, Qushui County, 30 kilometers southwest of Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region, was built in memory of adixia, a famous Bangladeshi monk.

The origin of history

In the 11th century, adixia, a famous Bangladeshi monk, was invited to Lhasa to preach Hongfa. He lived here for a long time until his death in 1054. The disciples built a temple here as a memorial, commonly known as nietang temple. The bronze statue of the original Tara (Zhuoma Buddha), which was dedicated to adixia during his lifetime, was named zhuomalakang, also known as nietang Tara hall. The existing Tara hall was rebuilt in the 1930s under the leadership of Rezhen living Buddha. The original shape of the hall can no longer be understood.

Zhuomalaconne preserves the Faluo and Huayuan bowls that master adixia used in his lifetime, and the wooden pagoda made of sandalwood that he has been inseparable from all his life. The temple is located on the side of the road, so it is very convenient to visit.

Cultural relics protection

As an ancient building in 1274, zhuomalakang was approved by the State Council on June 25, 2001 to be listed in the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
