Kundeling Monastery, Buddhist temple in Lhasa, China.

Kundeling Monastery is a Buddhist temple in Lhasa built with traditional Tibetan architecture and designed for prayer, study, and monastic life. Its halls and courtyards display religious artwork and carved details that reflect Buddhist teachings throughout the space.

Kundeling was built in 1794 as one of four royal temples of Lhasa, on the road leading west outside the old city walls, replacing the Yangs-can monastery destroyed in 1792. A Qing inscription records that commander Fu Kang'an and the amban Helin founded it as an offering for the Gurkha War victory and gave it to the Tatsak incarnation, whose line began with Baso Chokyi Gyaltsen (1402–73). Destroyed in the early 1960s, it was rebuilt on a smaller scale slightly west in the 1980s.

The monastery's name, Kunde Ling, means "peaceful and happy" in Tibetan. Each Tibetan New Year, monks make and display a Yamantaka mandala and hold seven days of rites; thangkas of Yamantaka, Chakrasamvara and Guhyasamaja hang in the assembly hall, and mandalas of the other two are also made yearly. The White Tara statue is the tallest in Tibet and is prayed to by women seeking protection.

Visitors can watch morning prayers, though taking photos inside sacred areas needs permission beforehand. Respecting the site's rules and being quiet during prayer times makes for a better experience.

Within the monastery are workshops where monks craft traditional religious art and ceremonial objects by hand. These working spaces reveal how ancient techniques remain active and integral to daily monastic life.
