Two WRCA world records achieved by a Tibetan monastery

Two world records took place in the Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, China, on July 13 2021 – the Sangkhatang Tashidokama monastery (Tsongkhapa monastery) has been certified by the WRCA as the Tibetan monastery painted with the most colorful patterns and the largest wooden Tibetan monastery.

The monastery was built under the direction of Master Gengdeng Quezhi. The 3-story wooden structure has a hip-and-gable xieshan-style roof with double eaves, covering an area of over 540 square meters, with a length of 27 meter, a width of 21 m and a height of 16 meter, verified by the WRCA, a brand under the UK-based World Record Certification Limited. The monastery’s building was initially erected in 2019 and was completed in 2020, using more than 2,000 square meters of pine wood.

The inside and outside of the monastery’s building was painted by 28 Regong painters in traditional Tibetan colors, using mineral and plant materials. The painted patterns cover an area of 5,883.48 square meters, confirmed by the WRCA. The bell-shaped stupa is located in front of the monastery and symbolizes the Buddha’s enlightened mind. 

The monastery is works of architectural, pictorial, decorative and landscape art. The purpose of the monastery is to share and preserve Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan culture. It does this through the promotion of Buddhist teachings and spiritual practices and by upholding Tibetan customs and traditions. Since the purpose of the Buddha’s teaching, as practiced in Tibet, is to develop loving-kindness and compassion, the main meditation practices at the monastery focus on the cultivation of these qualities. 

In Tibetan Buddhism, a religious community traditionally needs both a monastery and a retreat center. A monastery maintains and preserves the teaching of the Buddha through teaching, training, and practice. It houses monks who are trained in the intellectual, moral and ritual teachings of the Buddha and is a focal point for religious activities of the lay community. As well, with the rapid changes taking place in Tibet, the monastery is also a place where Tibetans endeavor to preserve their unique Tibetan identity and culture.
