Reting Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Lhünzhub County, Tibet, China.

The monastery spans 1667.5 square meters at 4,150 meters altitude, featuring the Coqen Hall and Reting Lazang structures built with clay and stone materials.

Dromtonpa, a disciple of Atisha, established the monastery in 1056 as the first Kadampa center before its transformation into a Gelugpa institution by Tsongkhapa.

The monastery contains a stone tablet with a natural portrait of Avalokitesvara, ancient Thangka artwork, and halls dedicated to Buddhist scriptures and religious artifacts.

Located 150 kilometers from Lhasa, the monastery charges an entrance fee of 30 RMB and remains open daily between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

The temple grounds contain 30,000 ancient cypress trees, believed to be over 1,000 years old, surrounding the monastery in the Reting Tsampo Valley.
