Tsongkhapa’s dormitory, or “Chitokang”, is the place where Tsongkhapa and successive Ganden Chiba (“Chiba” means Dharma platform or seat master) lived and practiced secret law during their lifetime. It was built in 1409 and was built in 1720. Suolangduoji was expanded, and a golden roof was added during the seventh generation. In the hall, there are mainly gilded bronze statues of Manjusri Bodhisattva, Zunsheng Buddha Mother (called "Cuo Dao Namaya" in Tibetan) and Dabai Umbrella Buddha Mother (Tibetan called "Dugar"). In the hall, there are also 4 altars of the deities of the Yellow Sect who practice secret methods, namely Sangwangduoba (Dense Vajra), Dunqu (Great Le Vajra), Jiji (Great King Kong), Dorjicha (Vajra Buddha) and so on. There is a "Gold Section" (that is, the Mandala, also known as the Land of Ultimate Bliss), and there are cassocks, cushions, seals, etc. used by Tsongkhapa during his lifetime. Because there are clothes used by Tsongkhapa and Ganden Tripa in the hall, it is also called "clothes storage hall".
