Yaqing Monastery in Baiyu
Yaqing Monastery, located in Changtuo Village, Acha Town, Baiyu County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is 120 kilometers away from the county seat. With about 4000 meters above sea level, it belongs to the Ningma Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. 
Built in Changtai Prairie, Changqu River passes through the temple, with flat terrain and broad vision. East side of the river is a basin and wetland in Changtai area, which is the Juemu area. West side of the river is a hillside, which is a monk area. The female monks' houses are built along the hillside.
One of the fundamental reasons why Yaqing Temple is different from other places is that there are many female monks. According to incomplete statistics, there are as many as 20,000 or 30,000 women who come here. In Tibetan, they are also called "Juemu". In Tibetan culture, the king's mother and sisters are usually called Juemu(“觉姆”), which also shows that everyone thinks highly of female monks.
In addition, this title is also linked to geographical factors. For example, the main peak of the Himalayas is called "Qomolangma", "Qomolangma" and "Juemu" also have very similar transliteration and in Tibetan.
The devotion to Buddhism has penetrated into their hearts, and the plateau itself is far from the secular, and naturally it will suffer hardships in the process of practice. Therefore, some people say that they are the last people in the world who take their time and are not tempted by anything.
Whenever observing meditation, juemu in Yaqing Temple think about their innermost feelings and realize the true meaning of life. Apart from studying Buddhism, juemu in Yaqing Temple also undertook a lot of basic work inside the temple. To outsiders, these were full of hardships and poverty, but they didn't complain at all. No one thought these were beyond ordinary people's labor.
Juemu( Nun) in Yaqing Templechose to come here and gradually learned to adapt to everything with a smile. In fact, behind all this, the "female view" plays a role in Tibetan culture. As early as 2,500 years ago, the Buddha's idea that “all beings are equal”and “women also become Buddhas”also had a great enlightenment.
In the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, the equal status and value of women are also clearly affirmed, and it can even be said that in the world of practice, women are also given lofty status. For example, it has been clearly stipulated in the secret precepts: it is the foundation of all vows not to denigrate and disrespect women.
Tibetan Buddhism in Yaqing Temple also reflects the special respect of Tibetan Buddhism for women, and also practices the spirit of Buddhism, which is the embodiment of the continuation of Buddha's thought. After Buddhism was gradually spread, various sects have risen rapidly and developed and passed down to today.
Tibetan Buddhism in Yaqing Monastery has been practicing the Buddhism of "Prajna Buddha Mother" and the idea of equality of all beings, and the status of women has achieved great strides and once became a symbol of wisdom.
