Where does Qiangbalin Temple belong?

Qiangbalin Temple is a famous cultural landscape attraction in Qamdo.

Qamdo Qiangbalin Temple is located in the fourth step of Qamdo Town. The temple was founded by Zong Kaba's disciple Xi Rao Songbu in A.D. 1444 after the reform of Tibetan Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty. . According to the regulations of the Gru Sect, Changdu Temple can have 2,500 monks. When Zong Kaba entered Tibet on 1373 and passed through Qamdo, he predicted that he would develop temples and spread Buddhism here in the future. Later, in A.D. 1437 (the second year of Ming Yingzong orthodoxy), Zong Kaba's disciple Xirao Sanbu advocated building a temple on the landing rock island between Angqu and Zaqu. The main Buddha in the temple is Qiangba Buddha, hence the name Changdu Qiangbalin Temple. This temple is the largest Buddhist Gelugpa temple in Qamdo.

It is divided into five warehouses: Lindui, Nurin, Kuqiu and Ye Jia Kabbah. There are famous monks such as Xiongqu Wangzaba, Chudun Langkabai, Niandouchong Gongga Tashi, and the third Dalai Lama Solang Garcuo presiding over the temple. This year, the famous Qamdo Qiangbalin Temple in Tibet spread thirteen Kampo. Later, pagbalha III Tongwa Dan Dun presided over the temple for generations. By then, the temple had 130 branches in Kangqu, mostly concentrated in Changdu, Chaya, Basu, Shuobanduo, Sangangqu and Bomi areas. Changdu Temple has always had a close relationship with inland dynasties. Since Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the main living buddhas in this temple have been canonized by successive emperors. The bronze seal awarded to the living Buddha of pagbalha by Kangxi in May 58 is still preserved in the temple. In the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong gave Julie Temple a monument, which was called Changdu Temple. Qamdo Qiangbalin Temple has five living Buddha lineages, twelve storehouses, and at most there are more than 5,000 monks, and there are 70 small temples around it. Pagbalha Glelanger, currently vice chairman of the National People's Congress, is the largest living Buddha in the temple and has been reincarnated to 1 1. The main buildings of the temple are well preserved. There are hundreds of Buddha statues and monks, thousands of square meters of murals and countless Thangka paintings in the temple. It can be said that it brings together the wisdom of skilled craftsmen in Changdu and represents the highest level in Changdu.

Qiangbalin Temple is famous for its ferocious and lifelike masks, neat and elegant action modeling and grand scenes. This temple dances with axes, neat and gorgeous costumes, simple and elegant dances and simple and elegant instruments. Changdu Tibetan Opera is unique in Tibet in the form of religious dance unique to temples. The wonderful dances performed by the lamas in this temple are even more unique. Qiangbalin Temple is not only the largest temple in Kangqu, but also a treasure house of culture and art in Kangqu. Standing on the top of Damara Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Qamdo surrounded by mountains and rivers. Among the zaqu and Angqu, Qiangbalin Temple stands towering under Hengduan Mountains and on the red soil cut by ancient glaciers. Because Changdu is located at the gateway of Sichuan and Tibet, commercial activities have become the main occupation of people in this area, which has also affected the sacred temples. Therefore, monks not only recite scriptures and Buddha, but also do business. The interest earned from the operation of Changdu Temple is distributed to the monks equally, and paid by distributing necessities such as butter, rice cakes and tea. At the end of the year, the temple has to settle accounts. If there is profit, the new year will be divided equally. The murals, sculptures, buildings, scrolls and other artistic treasures and cultural relics of Changdu Temple are similar to those of other temples in Tibet.

Of course, as one of the three lords in old Tibet, temples occupied a lot of land, and it was inevitable to exploit serfs. Otherwise, those Chiba, Kampo and Living Buddhas can't maintain a luxurious life. If nothing else, take eating fruit as an example. The monks in the temple are all built on the Jiaya dam, and the draft can be carried down into the river hundreds of feet. There are twenty-two big copper pots filled with water in this temple, each pot should contain more than one hundred barrels of water. Every day, 2,500 monks have to rely on people around the temple to transport the water they drink. How many people were exhausted by the steep river bank, starved to death, slipped into the water and drowned in the river! Changdu Temple is called a beautiful garden, but people who live in this garden have to climb the rugged steep slope for generations and go down to the river to fetch water to eat. In winter, the water level in the river is low, and dead animals and garbage float upstream; Mountain torrents broke out in summer, and the bodhisattva who helped the poor failed to bring fresh water to all beings. After liberation, the party and the people's government set up a tap water station next to Changdu Temple, which solved the big problem of drinking water for the monks and laymen in Changdu.
