Kundeling Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It was founded around 1794, and follows the Gelug school. The head of the monastery belongs to a lineage of incarnations that dates back to 1402. There is dispute over the current incarnation. The monastery was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, then rebuilt in the 1980s. ==History== ''Kunde Ling'' means "peaceful and happy" in the Tibetan language. The original Kunde Ling Monastery was built in 1794, one of four royal temples in Lhasa. It is thought to have been the successor to the Yangs-pa-can, or Yangs-can, monastery founded in 1490 and destroyed in 1792. Construction was ordered by Fu Kang’an, the general who repelled the Ghurkas and recovered lost areas of Tibet that year. The monastery was built outside the city walls of Lhasa on the road leading west. It followed the Gelug school. Kun-bde gling is known for owning the printing blocks for the religio-historical work called The Blue Annals (Deb-ther sngon-po), written in 1478. It also owned blocks for various other works. By 1830 the monastery owned extensive estates acquired by imperial grants, donations or purchase from the local peasants. These provided income to support the monastery. Kundeling was destroyed in the early 1960s during the Cultural Revolution, A much smaller Kundeling monastery was built slightly to the west of the former location in the 1980s. Monasteries are important tourist attractions in Lhasa. In 2011 the government had allocated about US $3 million for restoration of the building's fabric, including repairs to the roof, walls, courtyard and drains. That year the monastery was listed as a key protected cultural site. 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「Kundeling Monastery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
