Temple History:

Yixi temple was founded by sangdalangka Yixi, a great achievement of Yongzhong's fundamentalism, and named after him by his own name "Yixi". "Yixi" means "holy wisdom". When the Sangda Yixi venerable passed away, except for his hair and nails, his whole body turned into a rainbow light and became a Buddha.

Xingba Jiangze (the sixth generation of rooting living Buddha), the successor of sandarangka Yixi, hid the Buddha statue of "xinla wuga" in Yixi temple. When he passed away, he only left his hair and nails, and his whole body turned into a rainbow.

His followers are adozhasung, who can write the Tibetan word "a" with his fingers on the rocks. His son quse Yixi Jiangze spits on the sand and turns the sand into sands. Such masters from generation to generation have a unique history.
