Kumbum Monastery (World Wonder)

If you like my mod, please like it on up side, it will be a great encouragement to me.




Kumbum Monastery, also called Ta'er Temple, is a Tibetan gompa in Lusar. It was founded in 1583 in a narrow valley close to the village of Lusar in the historical Tibetan region of Amdo.[NEWLINE]e Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, was born in nearby Tsongkha in 1357. According to one tradition, Tsongkhapa's father took the afterbirth and buried it where the monastery is now and soon a sandalwood tree grew on the spot. Another version has it that the tree grew up where drops of blood from Tsongkhapa's umbilical cord had fallen on the ground. In any case this tree became known as the "Tree of Great Merit." The leaves and the bark of this tree were reputed to bear impressions of the Buddha's face and various mystic syllables and its blossoms were said to give off a peculiarly pleasing scent.
