Zhangjia Living Buddha Stupa, Buddhist stupa in Beitou District, Taiwan

The Zhangjia Living Buddha Stupa contains sacred relics within its traditional architectural structure, featuring stone elements and Buddhist design patterns throughout its exterior.

Built in 1959, this stupa commemorates Lobsang Pelden Tenpe Dronme, a prominent figure in Tibetan Buddhism who served as a spiritual leader for numerous monasteries.

The monument represents the connection between Taiwanese and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, housing the remains of the nineteenth Zhangjia Hutuktu, a recognized manifestation of Manjusri Bodhisattva.

Located at 151 Qiyan Road, visitors can reach the stupa through a dedicated path near the main temple, with traditional circumambulation performed in clockwise direction.

The cremation of Master Zhangjia in 1957 produced over six thousand relics, which contributed to the establishment of this memorial structure in Taipei.
