德格县城地处川藏交界处,很小,小到仅有一万多人口。德格印经院,就坐落在德格县城里,看上去还不如中等规模的寺庙大。过去,它曾经是一座寺院,名叫“更庆寺”。大约从上世纪四十年代起,它逐渐由寺院演化成现在的样子。虽然它既没有大型的经堂,也没有自己供奉的主尊,然而却和拉萨的布达拉宫一样,是西藏人心目中的圣地。 Dege county is located at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet, small, as small as only more than 10,000 population. Dege Indian Institute, located in Dege County, does not look as large as a large temple. In the past, it used to be a monastery called “Glorifying Temple”. About 40 years from the last century, it gradually evolved from the monastery to the present appearance. Although it has neither a large hall nor a lord of one’s own worship, it is, like the Potala Palace in Lhasa, a sacred place in Tibet.
