    Ancient Gaochang Ruins @ Trufan

    In the beginning, the Uyger people were Buddhists. This is a picture of an ancient Buddhist temple at Gaochang. I think that originally there was a statue of Buddha in front of the rectangular building.

    Photo: Child monk studying in the courtyard of the monastery Hor Gön Temchok Trashi Ling.
    A Nyingmapa monastery; This monastery, also known as Hor Gon Tekchok Tashiling (Ch Herisi), was originally a tented camp. The first solid buildings were constructed by the First Terton Rinpoche in 1831, and the monastery, considered a branch of Dodrubchen, was moved to its present location in the early decades of the 20th century. The local community, under the guidance of the Fourth Alak Tulku and the young Fifth Terton Rinpoche, comprises around 90 mantrins and monks of the Nyingma school.
