Tengyeling, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Lhasa District, China.
The Tengyeling monastery features assembly halls, chapels, and residential buildings constructed according to traditional Tibetan architectural principles and religious specifications.
Founded in 1763 by the Sixth Demo Ngawang Jampel Delek Gyatso, Tengyeling served as one of the Four Royal Colleges providing three regents of Tibet.
The monastery maintains a collection of ancient Buddhist scriptures and religious artifacts, supporting educational programs for both monks and local community members.
Located at coordinates 29.65446° N and 91.12784° E, the monastery includes restored sections such as the Tseumar Chapel, which maintains connections with Samye.
The Tibetan government removed Tengyeling's regency status in the early 1900s after the Ninth Demo participated in a conspiracy against the Thirteenth Dalai Lama.
