Namgyal Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala, India.

Namgyal Monastery in McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala, is the personal monastery of the 14th Dalai Lama. Its main hall holds a large golden Buddha with a blue halo, framed by an ornate multi-coloured backrest, with thangka paintings hanging from the ceiling. Monks in dark red robes sit on low cushions; red and white drums stand in the foreground.

Founded in 1564 or 1565 by the second Dalai Lama, Gendun Gyatso, as Phende Lekshe Ling on the site of the defunct Phende Gon, it was renamed Namgyal in 1571 after the long-life deity Namgyälma. It was long housed in the red section atop the Potala Palace in Lhasa. After the 1959 uprising, 45 monks followed the 14th Dalai Lama to Dharamsala and rebuilt the monastery there.

The monastery's name honors Namgyälma, a female long-life deity, after its 1571 renaming. Monks from all four main Tibetan monastic lineages live here, and their practices include Kalachakra, Yamantaka, Chakrasamvara, Guhyasamaja and Vajrakilaya. In the hall, thangka paintings hang from the ceiling and monks sit on low cushions; one may hold a long horn.

Namgyal Monastery sits in McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala, and is reached on foot through the town's narrow lanes. The prayer hall with the golden Buddha statue, thangka paintings and monks' cushions is open to visitors outside ritual hours. Photography is restricted during ceremonies, and modest dress is expected. The monastery also runs the Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies, founded in Ithaca, New York, in 1992.

On 8 February 1996, monks from the monastery's Institute of Buddhist Studies in Ithaca, New York, gave the first "Blessing of Cyberspace" as part of the "Twenty-four Hours in Cyberspace" event. The Ithaca branch had been founded in 1992 on the advice of the 14th Dalai Lama.
