Sangpu Neutok, Buddhist monastery in Central Tibet, China.

Sangpu Neutok consists of two educational colleges situated on the upper slopes of a branch valley, 30 kilometers from Lushon Village.

Founded in 1072 by Ngok Lekpai Sherab, the monastery expanded through the efforts of his nephew Ngok Lotsawa Loden Sherab during the 11th century.

The monastery incorporates teachings from multiple Buddhist traditions, including Kadam, Sakya, and Geluk, demonstrating the evolution of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy.

The monastery requires travel arrangements from Lhasa, and visitors should obtain necessary permits before planning their journey to Central Tibet.

Between the 11th and 14th centuries, Sangpu Neutok developed into a primary center for Buddhist philosophical studies on the Tibetan plateau.
