Muru Ningba or Meru Nyingba (rMe ru snying pa) (Tibetan: རྨེ་རུ་སྙིང་པ་) is a small Buddhist monastery located between the larger monasteries of Jokhang and Barkhor in the city of Lhasa, Tibet, China. It was the Lhasa seat of the former State Oracle who had his main residence at Nechung Monastery.〔Dowman (1998), p. 40.〕 It is located immediately behind and east of the Jokhang and may be accessed from the north side of the Barkhor. ==History== It is said that Emperor Songtsän Gampo built the first building here and it is where the great Tibetan scholar, Thonmi Sambhota, completed his work developing the Tibetan alphabet in the first half of the 7th century. The present building, first constructed during the reign of King Ralpacan (c. 806-838 CE),〔Vitali (1990), p. 19.〕 is built like an Indian vihara around a courtyard, with the ''lhakang'' ('temple', literally 'residence of the deity') to the north and monks quarters on the three other sides. It was destroyed during the persecution of Buddhism under Langdarma (c. 838 to 841 CE), but rebuilt by Atisha (980-1054 CE) and became Gelugpa under Sonam Gyatso, the 3rd Dalai Lama (1543–1589).〔Dorje (1999), p. 88.〕 It became the Lhasa residence of the Nechung Oracle in the 17th century, who was possessed by Pehar in his trances. 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「Muru Nyingba Monastery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
