Dongzhulin Monastery

July 23, 2015 by Tibetan Trekking Travel Leave a Comment

Dongzhulin Monastery was built in 1667, and at one time housed treasures which rivaled Potala Palace, such as: gilded Maitreya, statue of White Drolma, Buddhas of Three Worlds, the ruler of the hell, Manjusri, 18 Arhats statues and Tangkar scroll paintings depicting Buddhist stories. Unfortunately it was badly damaged during the Cultural Revolution and the current structure was restored in 1987.

Brief

Previously, it was named “Chong-Chong-Gang Monastery” that means a monastery by a crane lake. Originally, It was a Kagyu Pa tradition monastery. It converted to Gelu Pa merging with other 7 small monasteries nearby and finally becoming Dongzhulin Monastery in 1667. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were over 700 lamas and 10 Living Buddhas in this monastery.

Buildings

The Assembly Hall of Dongzhulin Monastery was designed in earth and wooden structure with 4 floors and 82 thick pillars. On the first floor, Tsongkhapa and his two disciples (Damarenqing and Kezhujie) are enshrined.

Some other enshrined Buddhism deities on the same floor are Sakyamuni, Avalokitecvara (Goddess of Mercy), Bhodisattva Manjusri, Bhodisattva Samantabhadra and Drolma.

The chanting hall, Buddhist chapels and chambers for Buddhist images are settled on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Among of those, the most impressive statues are the statue of Qingba Buddha (Maitreya) and the statue of Juewolakang (Sakyamuni).

Tangkar

It also houses a huge Tangkar with 8.5 meters long and 5.2 meters wide, and it is unfolded on the Gedong Festival in the 12th month of Tibetan calendar.

Dongzhulin Monastery sits on the slop of a mountain that overlook the beautiful Jinsha River Gorge (Yangtze). It is not well-known, more popular with the local Tibetans. The Mask Dancing Ceremony attracts thousands of followers each year.
