The Ta'er Temple is one of the six temples of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, at the southwest corner of Lush Ta'er Town, Qinghai Province. The Ta'er Temple was the birthplace of Zongkaba, the founder of the Gelug Sect. In the 12th year (1379) of the Hongwu reign in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Zongkaba's mother built a pagoda at the birthplace of her son, and a tiled house to shelter it. This is the oldest religious building in the Ta'er Temple.
