Photos of Sangding Temple

Sangding Monastery is located on the top of a steep mountain in the southwest of Yamdrok Yongcuo Lake. It belongs to the Shangpa Kagyu branch of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The living Buddha reincarnation inheritance system has continued for the twelfth generation. The female living Buddha Dorje Pam is considered to be the reincarnation of the Indian Vajra Haimother, and is highly respected by believers. The whole shape of Sandin Temple is like the Potala Palace in Lhasa, the Red Palace and the White House. The monastery majors in the Vajra Haima Tantra and practices Indian Yoga Tantra.
