Dungkar monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yadong County, China.
Dungkar Monastery stands on Dungkar Mountain in Upper Yadong Township, encompassing 3000 square meters with two scripture halls and multiple monk cells.
Founded in the early 17th century by Chieftain Nepa Chin, the monastery became a refuge for the Dalai Lama during the 1951 Chinese entry into Tibet.
The monastery holds the Guru Rinpoche Prayer Festival each March, featuring monk recitations, Tibetan opera performances, and sacred Cham dances.
The monastery contains a 60-centimeter bronze statue of Shakyamuni Buddha and a Qing Dynasty thangka measuring 10 meters by 8 meters.
At the entrance, rock carvings depict Tsongkhapa and his disciples in lotus position, alongside the protector deity Tagin Jukje.
