Tradruk Temple (, referred to as Changzhu Monastery in Chinese) in the Yarlung Valley is the earliest great geomantic temple after the Jokhang and some sources say it predates that temple.〔Dorje (1999), p. 191.〕 Tradruk Temple is located in Nêdong County of Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, about seven kilometres south of the county seat, Tsetang.〔Guójiā cèhuìjú dìmíng yánjiūsuǒ 国家测绘局地名研究所: ''Xīzàng dìmíng'' 西藏地名 / ''bod ljongs sa ming'' བོད་ལྗོངས་ས་མིང།, Beijing, Zhōngguó Zàngxué chūbǎnshè 中国藏学出版社 1995, ISBN 7-80057-284-6, pp. 70f.〕 == Founding legends == Changzhug Monastery is the largest and most important of the surviving royal foundations in the Yarlung Valley.〔Snellgrove & Richardson (1995), p. 74.〕 It is said to have been founded in the 7th century under king Songtsän Gampo. According to one legend, Changzhug was one of twelve geomantic temples, the Tadül "Border Subduers" () and Yangdül "Further Taming ()" (), that were built to hold down the huge supine ogress (, (サンスクリット:राक्षसि) ''rākṣasi'') under Tibet: Tradruk was said to stand on her left shoulder, Katsel〔http://www.drikung.org/drikung-kagyu-lineage/main-monasteries/drikung/katsel〕 (, or ) and Gyama () in Maizhokunggar County on her right shoulder and the Jokhang in Lhasa on her heart.〔Alex McKay: ''The History of Tibet'' (RoutledgeCourzon 2003), ISBN 0-7007-1508-8, pp. 340 f.

Songtsän Gampo was able to call a huge falcon by meditation, which defeated the dragon and drank all the water of the lake, so that the temple could be built.〔Jeremy Atiyah, David Leffmann, Simon Lewis: ''China'' (Dumont 2004), ISBN 3-7701-6150-5, p. 1039.〕 This legend would explain the name of the temple. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tradruk Temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
