Yangpachen Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Yangbajain, Tibet Autonomous Region, China

Yangpachen Monastery, known in Tibetan as Tubten Yangpachen ("Broad and Strict City of Buddhism"), stands in the western part of the Yangbajain basin. Its main lhakang holds new images, while the Pelkor Gomkang preserves an original statue of Chakdrukpa (Mahakala) that resisted attempts to destroy it. The Sinon Gomkang's Chakdrukpa image has vanished.

The monastery was established in 1504 by the fourth Shamarpa and served as the residence for Shamarpa leaders of the Karma Kagyü school for three centuries. It later ceased to function as their primary seat.

The main temple displays religious art and houses an original statue of Chakdrukpa that survived destruction during the Cultural Revolution. These works reflect the monastery's spiritual continuity despite periods of upheaval.

The monastery lies about 85 km southeast of Lhasa, on the northern side of the Lhorong Chu valley above the Lhasa–Shigatse highway. The associated Dorje Ling nunnery is roughly a day's walk from the monastery and two days north of Tsurphu. The site's high elevation calls for acclimatization before visiting.

The Pelkor Gomkang keeps an original image of Chakdrukpa (Mahakala) that resisted attempts to destroy it during the Cultural Revolution, while the Chakdrukpa image in the Sinon Gomkang has vanished. The monastery was attacked around 1966 and totally destroyed, then rebuilt from 1985 with government funding.
