On the way back to Lhasa from Everest Base Camp, I specially stayed at Tashilhunpo Temple. Tashilhunpo Monastery, also known as the Auspicious Sumi Temple, is the largest temple in Shigatse, alongside the Drepung Monastery in Lhasa, Sera and Gandan Monastery, and the Ta'er Monastery in Qinghai and the Labrang Monastery in southern Gansu. The six major temples of the Gelug Sect. It is said that the total number of rooms in Tashilhunpo is more than 3,000, more than 5,000 temples, more than 50 subordinate temples, more than 30 manor farms, sometimes it is difficult to imagine, just like the university campus, so much People, not so busy. The devout Tibetans who came to worship the Tashilhunpo Monastery are particularly numerous. It is said that there are many Tibetan areas from Qinghai, Sichuan, not far from the mountains and rivers. Tips: The Tashilhunpo Temple is very large. It takes at least 2 hours to tour a circle. Many things are worth a closer look. It is recommended to spend more time. In 1600 AD, the 4th Panchen Rosanne was invited by the Tashilhunpo Monastery to serve as the 16th of the temple. Since then, the Tashilhunpo Monastery has become the seat of the Panchen Erdeni in the past. The current Dalai Lama seems to be returning here once every two years, showing its sacred status in Tibetan Buddhism.
