More than 30 boy monks now live and study at the temple's elementary school in Yushu Tibetan Prefecture, which was hit by an earthquake in April 2010.

Boy monks here have to get up early at 5:00 AM every day to start their study, including reciting sutra, learning Tibetan and Han languages, and cannot go back to bed until 9:30 PM The temple offers accommodation to these students and even gives them a small sum of pocket money every month.
