One of the four Dalin Temples in Lhasa is located on the back of the Cuomeilin bus station. Inside is a large yard, which has just been renovated in recent years. The outer compound of the monastery houses many local residents. Please keep quiet when entering the monastery and do not take pictures of people without permission.

Tibet is a dream place for many people to travel. Walking on the streets of Lhasa in the city of daylight, occasionally meeting a monastery. I accidentally saw it on the street. The appearance looks very similar to the residential house. There is a plaque of "Cemenlin Temple" at the door. There are no tourists in the temple. It is very quiet. The locals come to worship. There are flowers and plants, cats, sheep, and some leisurely local neighborhoods. It can be said that they are hidden in the residential temples. According to the ancient Tibetan history book "History between the pillars" documents: Cemenlin Temple, the living Buddha of Cemenlin in the past dynasties, one of the four major forests in Lhasa, and one of the five regents in Lhasa, belonging to the Sera Temple of Tibetan Buddhism Gelu. The temple once prayed for a long life for the Qianlong emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so it was named, and was given by the emperor of Taoguang. "Ce" means life, "door" means desire, "lin" means "zhou" means. This is a small temple, the temple looks very old, hidden in the bustling streets, and the bustling Beijing Road, compared with the tall modern buildings, a little more quiet, less noisy. Entering the monastery, it is surrounded by a Tibetan compound. Compared with the Jokhang Temple, although deserted, but sunny. The monastery is divided into East and West parts. The East Hall is called the White House; the West Hall is called the Red Palace. There are no tourists here, and occasionally there are local religious Tibetans who come to worship.

It feels that locals are chanting and worshiping Buddha in it. Few tourists come. It is more religious and close to the earth than the temple of Jokhang Temple, which is more like a tourist attraction.
