Qinghai Hualong Jianzha Mani Temple

During the period of the 13th Dalai Lama Thubten Gyatso (1876-1933), it was presided over by the Deyang Living Buddha of Xiaqiong Temple and the local tribal leader Rosang, and the 'Jianzha Mani Qukeqinmo' was moved to the current site and a scripture hall was built, divided into two floors with a total of 7 rooms. The scripture hall and the Mani prayer wheel were demolished in 1958 and reopened in 1980. Now there is one scripture hall with 5 rooms, 11 monk houses, and 6 resident monks. The temple is managed by Jia Yangjia Cuo. The scripture hall is a Han-style loft-style building, made by Hezhou craftsmen, with carved beams and painted buildings, which is very spectacular. It is the main building of the entire temple, with the temple door facing west, from north to south. The first room is equipped with a Mani prayer wheel erected by the believers of Tianzhu County; the second room is sculpted with Sakyamuni, Tsongkhapa and the ninth Panchen Lama's clay statues; the third room is the center of the scripture hall, equipped with a large Mani prayer wheel erected by the local twelve ethnic groups with the Mani prayer wheel of Dunzhu Renqin as the treasure; the fourth room is sculpted with the clay statues of the 'Three Honorable Masters' Jingming Khenpo, Padmasambhava and Dharma King Trisong Detsen; the fifth room is equipped with a Mani prayer wheel erected by the Yixi of the temple. The three Mani prayer wheels in the scripture hall are all led from the back of the hall into the hall, and the water is used to drive the belt to make the Mani day and night. The water flows out of the hall, and the worshippers regard it as holy water, all draw it for drinking, or wash their heads and faces, it is said that it can brighten the eyes and is beneficial to health.
