Milarepa's Cave - Pengyeling Monastery

Pengyeling Monastery

A path leads down from the roadside through the village and down a hillside where there is a small monastery (gompa) named Pelgye Ling, Phelgye Ling or Pengyeling which is built around the cave. The Assembly Hall of the monastery has a principal image of Padmasambhava.

The monastery used to be a Kagyupa temple but, since the late 17th century, has been affiliated with the Gelugpa Sera Monastery in Lhasa.
