Chonggu Temple

The Chonggu temple, 3880 meters above sea level, is located at the foot of xiannairi snow peak. The temple has been seriously damaged, leaving only a piece of debris. There is a two-story house near the old temple. A Lama is responsible for managing the check-in of passing tourists (now it is difficult to live in due to the regulations of the scenic spot) and protecting the surrounding ecological environment. The first floor is the guest room and Lama's room, and the second floor is the Sutra hall. Every morning and afternoon, lamas smoke incense and chant sutras. At this time, chanting and chanting sound reverberate in the silent Valley, making it more sacred and mysterious.

cultural background

Starting from Chonggu temple, Nianqing Gongga risong Gongbu goes left and turns right to Luorong cattle farm. Luorong cattle farm is surrounded by three snow peaks in Nianqing Gongga risong Gongbu. Snow peaks, forests, meadows, streams, lakes, waterfalls, and ranch huts are in perfect harmony. Here you can have a panoramic view of the three snow peaks. The north peak, xiannairi (6032 meters), is like a giant Buddha sitting quietly on the lotus throne. Maiyong (5958 meters) is located in the center of the south peak. The peak is steep with beautiful lines. The top of the sharp blade points directly to the sky. The crystal peaks of the East peak, shanuoduoji, stand aloof. These three snow peaks have been sacred symbols in the hearts of Tibetans since ancient times. In Tibetan language, Nianqing Gongga risong Gongbu means "three sacred mountains that keep snow all the year round". In the eighth century A.D., master lianhuasheng enlightened the three snow peaks and named them after the three patriarchs in Buddhism: Guanyin (xiannairi), Manjusri (yangmaiyong) and Vajrayana (shanuoduoji), so they are called the three patriarchs snow mountain. From Luorong cattle farm to qujiuzaa spring, you can see the cypress trees of Shambhala kingdom in northern Tibet. Here, you can use the holy spring water to wash away the dirty things accumulated by the human body, and beg for the protection of the Dharma God Qu Jiuxi Chou.

historical background

It is said that the fifth Dalai Lama awan losangatso learned that there was no temple to promote Buddhism in risonggong Buxie District, so he sent master Rangjiang genqiugatso to Aden to build the temple. He didn't want to offend the mountain god and bring disaster because of the construction of the temple. The local people were all suffering from leprosy. The master was compassionate and prayed day and night. Later, the people were all cured, but the master died of leprosy In order to remember him, people buried him on the grassland and built a magnificent mani pile in memory of him. (Chonggu: in Tibetan, it means to fill the lake to build a temple, or a temple on the lake)
