Ramoche Temple, Buddhist temple in Lhasa, China

The Ramoche Temple stands as a three-story structure covering 4,000 square meters in the northwestern section of Lhasa, east of Potala Palace.

Constructed in 650 during King Songtsen Gampo's reign, the temple initially housed the Jowo Rinpoche statue brought by Princess Wencheng from China.

The temple functions as the Assembly Hall of the Gyuto Tratsang, Upper Tantric College of Lhasa, supporting traditional Buddhist education and ceremonies.

Visitors can explore the temple's entrance with ten pillars, an atrium, scripture hall, and multiple corridors displaying Tibetan religious artifacts.

The second floor contains a chapel with the Buddha as King of the Nagas image, while the third floor holds the Dalai Lama's private quarters.
