Lalong Temple

With a long history, unique architectural style and splendid religious art, Lalong Temple plays a very important role in the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Lalong temple is located on the North Bank of luozanuqu, Zhari Township, Luozha County, Shannan Prefecture, Tibet, 20 kilometers east of Luozha county. The temple is located on an open valley platform with an altitude of 3700 meters. Luozanuqu roars eastward from the front of the temple. The temple backs the mountain and faces the river. It sits north, South and East. The ancient trees around the temple are towering and the scenery is pleasant.

brief introduction

Lalong means "under the will of God" in Tibetan. Built in Songzan dry cloth

In 1155, dusongqinba, the founder of the gama Kagyu sect, presided over the expansion and became a famous Taoist center of the gama Kagyu sect in luoza. In the middle of the 16th century, Bao zulachenwa, an eminent monk of the gama Gaju sect, repaired and expanded the temple, built a wall, and presided over the temple. Later, the temple was converted to Gelug school, but it still retained the inheritance of Kaju school.

There are five different reincarnation living Buddha systems in the temple, which are in charge of its educational affairs in the kingdom of Bhutan, Kangqu District of eastern Tibet, houzang and other places. The reincarnation of living Buddhas in monasteries is governed by the system of drawing lots from a Golden Vase, which has been put on record in the central government of the mainland and the gaxia government of Tibet.

Architectural structure

The main hall is three stories high, which is a typical Tibetan flat topped temple building. On the east side of the main hall is the Bhutanese Sutra hall, which was built by the king of bhutan in the 18th century. It is the place where Buddhists from budanyun study sutras and businessmen of the country worship Buddhism. On the west side of the main hall is the Guanyin hall, and on the back are the Sutra debate hall, Dharma protection hall, shrine and monk's house.

Every year, Bhutanese monks come to Lalong temple to worship Buddha. In 1998, it was listed as a county-level cultural relics protection unit. Approved by the State Council in 2013, it was announced as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
