Negodong Nunnery
Negodong Nunnery is a historical hermitage, belonging to Sera Monastery. It is located in the northeastern Lhasa suburb known as Dodé Valley (''Dog bde''), northeast of Sera, Tibet. Buddhist scholar of the Sera Jé College’s (''Grwa tshang byes'') Gomdé Regional House (''Sgom sde khang tshan''), Nam mkha’ rgyal mtshan. It was initially founded as a monastery with seventeen monks but later allotted for exclusive use as nunnery to provide personal security to the nuns who were then residing in a remote nunnery at ''Gnas nang'' (higher valley to the east), away from the present location at ''Gnas sgo gdong'' (about an hour's walk).
==Geography==
The nunnery situated in a mountainous landscape has assigned religious significance to each of the hills surrounding it. The black rocky mountain, in the shape of a triangle, to the east of the nunnery, is said to represent the protector deity of the nunnery, ''Lha mo nyi gzhon''. This mountain is also credited as the “Three Great Mountains” (''Ri chen gsum'') on the periphery of Lhasa. The Northern boundary of the nunnery is known as the Soul-Mountain of Juniper Forests” (Shug pa’i nags bla ri), for the reason that juniper trees were in abundance here (higher slopes of the mountain still have some juniper trees). Two other hill peaks were used to hoist religious flags and to make burnt junifer offerings on the third day of the Tibetan New Year. The water sources sourced here are two springs with the names, the Ravine Spring (''Grog mo chu mig'') and the Sound-Catcher (or Ear) Spring (''Sgra ’dzin chu mig'') which are stated to have some curative properties.
