In the middle of the 11th century, the ancient Indian monk Atisha came to Tibet to preach. The temple houses the Dum Buddha statue brought by Atisha from India, which is called Dolma Lakhang, meaning "Dum Buddha Hall". The temple is not large in scale, but has unique architecture, lush trees, and a long history. The main hall building, Buddhist statues, murals, etc. are left over from history and are well preserved. It also has many national first- and second-level cultural relics. There are two pagodas in the temple. It is said that one is the ashes of Atisha and the other is the ashes of Solam Gyaltsen of Penpa.
