Chucheng Danba and Torin Temple (1993)

A dilapidated temple in the ruins of the Zada ​​county in the Ali region, more than 1,800 kilometers away from Lhasa, with only two lamas, makes it impossible to imagine its former prosperity-a famous Tibetan Buddhism revival period more than a thousand years ago Great Temple: Torin Temple. Torin means "never fall in the air." Old Lama Chu Chengdanba spent his childhood here. In the 1950s, he was once sent to transport grain, responsible for stacking grain in the red and white halls of the monastery. In 1960, Chu Chengdanba went to India because of some frightening rumors. In 1967, Tibetan residents in and around Zanda County gathered in the monastery and demolished most of the buildings in a month. Only the red and white halls survived because of the pile of food.
