Details

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Khorzhak Monastery is a Buddhist monastery in Khorzhak town, Burang county, Ngari Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The town and temple are known as Kojanath in Nepal. The village is situated on a beautiful spot at a bend of the Karnali River, form where on can see the large red wall of the temple facing the river with a huge inscription on it of the six-syllable mantra, OM MANI PADME HUM.The name Khorzhak is derived from the term for a ''venerable object and its surroundings'' (khor) and ''is placed'' (zhak). Legend has it that one of four images of standing Chenresig or Avalokiteshvara in the form of Padmapani were brought to Tibet in the 7th century from Nepal by Akarmatishila after he discovered them in a split sandalwood tree trunk. A few old photos of the image suggest it was in Pala style, but it was destroyed by the Chinese and only the lotus base has survived.
