brief introduction

Juudqin temple was founded by kanqin nichizengbabasan (also known as dojitzingba). Kanchin nichizengbasang was born in the "ladui" area of houzang. He was once a disciple of kezhugrebesang (1385-1438) in the first Panchen Lama. He was known as Nichi (meaning 20000) because he was familiar with the Prajna Sutra, which is more than 20000 words. At the end of the 14th century, he was invited to build the temple by SANGHUA Duoji Caidan and others in qiongjie county. At that time, it was small, with only a four pillar Buddhist hall and 50 monks. After kanqin nichizengbasang died, his younger brother kanqin winraba took over as the leader of the temple. Since then, kanqin winraba became the first Kanbu of Wuri Deqin temple.
