Explanation

The Khumbum Monastery, also known as Kumbum Monastery or Ta'er Temple, is a significant Tibetan Buddhist monastery located in the city of Xining, Qinghai Province, China [1]. Situated in Huangzhong County, it is historically recognized as one of the six great monasteries of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery was founded in 1583 at the birthplace of Je Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug sect [1]. While Buddhism spread from India to East Asia and many Tibetan refugees, including the Dalai Lama, later settled in Indian locations like Dharamshala, the Kumbum Monastery itself remains situated within the administrative boundaries of China. It serves as a major cultural and religious center for pilgrims from across China and Southeast Asia.
