Jonang Monastery

Jonang Monastery stands at an elevation amid mountain ranges, featuring traditional white walls, red trims, and multiple prayer halls across its grounds.

The monastery, established in 1230, became a center for Buddhist studies and meditation practices, particularly focusing on the teachings of the Kālacakra tantra.

Students at the monastery engage in daily rituals, study Buddhist texts, practice Tibetan calligraphy, and participate in traditional meditation sessions.

Visitors need permits to access the monastery, and the best time to visit is between May and October when weather conditions are favorable.

The monastery preserves specific meditation techniques and philosophical teachings of the shentong view, which differs from other Buddhist schools in Tibet.
