Jia Yi Temple

Jia Yi Temple, known in Tibetan as "Jiayi Eocha Zhazhanlin," means "The Miraculous Liberation Realm of Jia Yi." It is situated in the Jia Yi agricultural area, 27 kilometers west-northwest of Daotanghe Town, Gonghe County, Hainan Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The temple was first built in 1984, with its main proponent being Dan Cuo Zhuoma, also known as Gangri Khen Zhuoma, meaning "Snow Mountain Dakini." She was a female tulku. Dan Cuo Zhuoma conducted religious activities in Qugou of Gonghe County and Shagou of Guinan County before settling in Suohela Village, Qugou Township. In 1974, she moved to Jia Yi Village in Daotanghe Town. In 1980, when Panchen Lama visited Hainan Prefecture, Dan Cuo Zhuoma and local devotees requested permission to establish a monastery in Jia Yi Village, which was granted. The Panchen Lama also inscribed the name plaque for the monastery as "The Miraculous Liberation Realm," leading to the establishment of a small Gelug sect temple. It was officially approved for opening in 1988, with 15 monks at that time. Dan Cuo Zhuoma served as the head of the temple and was a standing member of the Hainan Prefecture Political Consultative Conference. After her passing, the day-to-day management of the temple was overseen by Mao Lan, the director of the temple management committee, among others.
