The Fifth
King Ngawang Losang Gyatso (1617-1682) was the
first to effectively combine spiritual and secular
rulership of Tibet. Among his many achievements,
Ngawang Losang Gyatso united three provinces
of Tibet in 1642, for first time since mid-ninth
century .
Ngawang Losang Gyatso had a profound influence
on the role that the Kings would play as leaders
of the Tibetan people. He emphasized connection
between the King and Avalokitesvara especially
in his rebuilding of the Potala. The Potala
is named after a mountain in India, “Lord of
the World” which is considered to be the divine
palace of Avalokitesvara. This emphasis helped
establish the notion that the Kings were indeed
incarnations of the Avalokitesvara.
When Ngawang
Losang Gyatso came to power, he established laws,
appointed governors and ministers, and formed an
entire government. He even established a national
dress system of uniforms for officials. He sent
representatives to the border towns of Kham and
areas in central Tibet to reduce heavy taxes, resolve
feuding, establish monasteries, and resettle abandoned
areas. Shakabpa points this out as a demonstration
of Ngawang Losang Gyatso ’s political and religious
leadership.
Another spectacular achievement ofNgawang Losang
Gyatso is the incredible buildings he had constructed.
He founded the great Labrang monastery in Kham and
he built other monasteries dominating hilltops rather
than hidden among mountains and hills as had been
traditionally done. The most outstanding of these
structures is the the Potala Palace which looks
over Lhasa (Snellgrove and Richardson 199).
Ngawang Losang Gyatso also wrote more literature
than all other Kings combined . Such works included
a commentary on the Abhidharmakosa (“Treasury of
Philosophical Notions”), rhetoric and astrology,
a treatise on monastic discipline, guide to Jo-lehang,
a history of Tibet, and a book about the composition
of poetry.

Zhaibung
Monastery
The Zhaibung Monastery,
which in Tibetan is called Duimi or Gyimi monastery and
means "an auspicious land", sits at the southern
slope gully of the Gebeiwoze Mountain about 10 km west
of downtown Lhasa. It was built by Jamyang Qoigyi Zhaxi
Bendain, a favorite disciple of Zongkapa, founder of the
Gelug (Yellow) Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. It is one of
the six Gelug monasteries in China.
In 1409, Master Zongkapa
succeeded in pioneering the Grand Summons Ceremony, also
called Molan Qenmo in Tibetan, in the Jokhang Monastery,
Lhasa. In the same year, he had the Gandain Monastery
built in response to the popularity of the Gelug Sect
among the Tibetan Buddhists. With the official rise of
the Gelug Sect, the Zhaibung Monastery was built to accommodate
the new situation.
Jamyang Qoigyi Zhaxi
Bendain was born in Samye, shannan, Tibet. He loved to
study, even in childhood. Later, he learned Buddhist classics
from Master Zongkapa and eventually became well versed
in Tibetan Buddhism. For the further promotion of the
Gelug Sect, Master Zongkapa requested that a grand monastery
be built and, for this purpose, presented Jamyang Qoigyi
Zhaxi Bendain with a right-turning conch, symbol of auspiciousness
and luck. With aid provided by Namgesang, magistrate of
Newo County, construction of the Zhaibung Monastery began
in 1416.
When the Zhaibung
Monastery was built, Mamyang Qoigyi Thaxi Bendain served
as its first abbot, also called Chiba in Tibetan (the
monastery has had 23 abbots). In 1464, the Zhaibung Monastery
set up Buddhist colleges, or Zhacang in Tibetan, for monks
to learn Buddhist classics. Altogether, there are four
such colleges within which are a total of 29 Kamcuns,
groups of monks formed in accordance with their origins.
During the period of the 5th Dalai Lama, the Gelug Sect
set a ceiling on the number of monks for each Gelug monastery.
The number for the Zhaibung was 7,700 people. On the eve
of 1951, the monastery boasted up to 10,000 resident monks,
which made the monastery the largest in Tibet.
The Zhaibung Monastery
is composed of the Coqen Hall, the four Zhacang colleges
(called Losailing, Deyang, Ngaba and Gomang Zhacangs)
and the Gandain Phodrang (Palace).
Located in the central
part of the Zhaibung Monastery, the Coqen Hall covers
an area of close to 4,500 square meters. In front of the
hall is a square paved with stones. A 17-step stone staircase
links the square with the hall. At the entrance are eight
pillars. Coqen's Sutra Hall is of magnificent scale, covering
an area of 1,800 square meters and propped up by 183 pillars.
All the Buddha statues enshrined in the Coqen Hall are
lifelike. They include the statue of the Wisdom Buddha
and a statue hidden under a white umbrella in the central
part of the Coqen Hall.
There are two silver
dagobas in the wing chambers of the Coqen Hall. These
are holy stupas for the 3rd and 4th Dalai Lamas. The Duisong
Lakang (Hall) in the rear part of the Coqen Hall is the
earliest of its kind in the Zhaibung Monastery. Jamyang
Qoigyi Zhaxi Bendain used to sit in mediation and study
here. Now, it is enshrined with the statues of the 3rd
Dalai Lama and two of his favorite disciples.
Only Buddha keep your
heart peace, Money cannot.
