Samding - Samding

Samding (Tibetan transliterated: bSam lding) is a monastery in Tibet.

Samding is located near the town of Nangartse not far from the west bank of the Yamdrok Lake (Yar 'brog mtsho) in the central Tibetan province of Tsang (gTsang). It was probably founded towards the end of the 13th century and was the only Tibetan monastery with a female reincarnated abbot, the Dorje Phagmo. During the Cultural Revolution, the monastery was completely destroyed, and in 1985 reconstruction began.

The Samding Monastery has Lionel Davidson on his 1962 novel The rose of Tibet (German: The rose of Tibet) stimulated. Inside there is a fictional monastery called Yamdring, whose name merges that of the real monastery and that of the nearby lake.
