“Heping Fahui Nunnery” is one name we recently received. But this is NOT a correct name of nunnery, “He Ping” means “Peaceful”; “Fa Hui” means Pujia. Those are 4 Chinese words in Pin Yin. When to put this 4 words together, it means “Peaceful Pujia”. so it is not a name of nunnery, but a name of Tibetan Religious activity.
This “Peaceful Pujia” was started from October 1999. The sites are included: Peaceful Tashi Falun Zha-Cang; Peaceful Buddhist Academy, Peaceful Tibetan hospital, Peaceful Rainbow Celestial Burial, Peaceful Mani Pile Wall, Peaceful Nursing home and Peaceful Primary School. Those sites are all located in Ge Ri Ma village which is some 10 km northwest from Tagong by road or 2-3 hours crossing through the Tagong Grassland by hike. Some people call this nunnery is “Ani Gompa“, which is not verified
