Detail InformationEdit

Tradruk Temple, also written Changzhug Monastery, in the Yarlung Valley is the earliest great geomantic temple after the Jokhang – and some sources say it is even pre-dates the Jokhang. It is located in Nedong County of Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, about seven kilometres south of the county seat Tsetang . Changzhug Monastery is the largest and most important of the surviving royal foundations in the Yarlung Valley. It is said to have been founded in the 7th century under king Songtsen Gampo.
According to one legend, Changzhug was one of twelve geomantic temples, Tadü and Yangdu, which were built to hold down the huge supine ogress Sinmo under Tibet: Tradruk was said to stand on her left shoulder, Gazai in Maizhokunggar County on her right shoulder and the Qokang in Lhasa on her heart. According to another legend, at the site of the monastery there was originally a lake inhabited by a dragon with five heads. Songzain Gambo was able to call a huge falcon by meditation, which defeated the dragon and drank all the water of the lake, so that the temple could be built.[6] This legend would explain the name of the temple.
