Introduction to the Coqin Hall: The Coqin Hall (meaning the Great Sutra Hall, i.e. the Great Hall) was built in 1409. It is 43.8 meters wide and 44.7 meters deep. It has 108 large pillars and can accommodate 3,300 monks chanting sutras at the same time. It was originally built (in 1409) as a three-story hall with the support of Dazi Zongben Sonam Dorje. In about 1720, the Tibetan king added a golden dome. In 1749, it was expanded by Jigme Dorje, gradually forming a certain scale. The main enshrinement in the hall is the future Buddha Qiangba Buddha, and later the gilded bronze Buddhas such as Tsongkhapa were added. There is a Dharma throne carried by five golden lions in the hall, named "Gandan Shichi", which is the Dharma seat after Tsongkhapa founded the Yellow Sect. There is a small hall on the left side of the back of the hall. On the forehead of the door is a group of shadow sculptures of "Tushita Heaven". The shaping techniques are extremely detailed and lifelike. In the small hall, there is the Zen bed where Tsongkhapa meditated and the complete set of "Kangyur" and "Tengyur" Tibetan Tripitaka written in pure gold. The settings, offerings, decorations and other objects in the hall are all cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty. There is a very strange large pillar in the main hall. It is a palm thick distance from the ground. People who come to Ganden Monastery to worship Buddha must touch the bottom of the pillar to pray for good luck.
