Torling Temple
Torling temple located in the vicinity of Tsada town was originally built by Yixiau the king of Guge in 996 AD, where Lotsawa Rinchen Sangpo, the famous translator of Buddhist scriptures, had delivered sermons in the Latter Prosperity of Tibetan Buddhism.
In 1036, Yixiau, the king of Guge and his brother Qiangquau invited Atisha, a saint from India who took residence in Torling and wrote some books to spread Buddhism, and the temple became ever more famous from then on. Guge Angwang Zhada, a disciple of Tsongkapa did a large-scale of reconstruction of the temple where many senior monks had left their traces during the Latter Prosperity of Tibetan Buddhism.
