Overview

Lungtang Dolma Lhakhang stands in Loshong Town (ancient Denma), north of Dege in Kham, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan. It sits quietly on the bank of the Drichu River, known as the oldest temple in Kham Dege.

Founded in 638 by King Songtsen Gampo, this small but deeply sacred temple is linked to Princess Wencheng. Legend says the golden Tara statue spoke to her, choosing to stay here.

Sacred Treasures

Blessed by Guru Padmasambhava, it houses three precious Tara statues, gifted by Princess Wencheng, King Mangsong Mangtsen, and the 5th Dalai Lama. These holy statues survived turmoil, hidden and protected by local people, making them living symbols of faith.

Spiritual Experience

A Gelugpa sect site, the single-room temple holds ancient clay Buddhist statues, surrounded by mani stones and stupas. Local pilgrims walk clockwise around it with devotion.

Across the river, a steep hill holds meditation caves where Guru Padmasambhava once stayed, now a beloved pilgrimage spot.

Plan Your Visit

More than a historic site, Longtang Dolma Lhakhang carries centuries of blessings and stories. It invites travelers to feel the quiet, enduring faith of Kham Tibet.
