biggest lake in the country. Every April, thousands of
birds come to the Bird Island to lay eggs and before
winter, they fly south. There was a beautiful legend
about Tang princess on the way to marry in Tibet. This

Monastery |

|
|
| Kumbum Jampa-ling Monastery
was founded in 1583 by the Third Dalai Lama, Sonam-gyatso
(1543-1588). It was built in Amdo (A-mdo), near Lake
Kokonor , at the site where Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the
founder of the Gelug Tradition, had been born. It was
prophesied in several texts of the Kadam masters.A drop
of blood fell from Tsongkhapas umbilical cord when it
was cut after his birth. From this drop grew a wondrous
white sandlewood tree. It has a very broad trunk and
100,000 leaves, which it never sheds. In Tibetan, the
number 100,000 merely signifies a very large number,
and is not meant literally. On each leaf is an image
of the Buddha Sinhanada (Seng-ge sgra). On the bark of
the branches and trunk are the designs of the seed syllables
and hand implements of this Buddha. In the future, Tsongkhapa
will take birth as Sinhanada, the eleventh Buddha of
the 1,000 who will grace the earth during this fortunate
eon. |
