Lingshed Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Leh district, India.
The Lingshed Monastery stands at an elevation near Lingshet village, containing six principal shrines and housing approximately sixty resident monks within its walls.
Founded in the 1440s by Changsems Sherabs Zangpo, a disciple of Je Tsongkhapa, the monastery occupies land previously established by translator Rinchen Zangpo.
The monastery maintains a large prayer hall called Dhoklang, containing statues of Buddha, Mahakala, and Yamandhaka, along with over 200 volumes of Tangyur texts.
