The Nyethang Drolma Temple ({{bo|w=snye thang sgrol ma lha khang}}) is a temple in Nyêtang in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China dedicated to Tara. It is associated with Atiśa (980–1054), who founded the Kadam school of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery survived the Cultural Revolution relatively undamaged. It is dedicated to Tara, a female bodhisattva, and contains many statues and paintings of Tara.

Location

The Nyethang Drolma Temple is southwest of Lhasa on the Qüshü–Nepal Highway {{convert|36|km}} from the county seat and {{convert|33|km}} from Lhasa.{{sfn|Nie Tong Temple, CTO}}

It is in Nyétang, Qüxü County.{{sfn|Chinese Buddhist temple tour}} It is easily accessible from Lhasa and many pilgrims visit it.{{sfn|Chinese Buddhist temple tour}} In 2012, the temple had 25 monks.{{sfn|Buckley|2012|p=178}} Another source states there are just seven Gelug monks.{{sfn|TBRC Resource ID: G4605}}

History

Atiśa taught the Four Tantras to physicians in the monastery, and later died there.{{sfn|Fenton|1999|p=93}}

Some sources say that Atiśa built the monastery, which was expanded after his death by his pupil Dromtön.{{sfn|Chinese Buddhist temple tour}} Another version says that Dromtön raised funds to build the temple to commemorate his old friend.{{sfn|Nie Tong Temple, CTO}} In 1057 Dromtön brought Atisha's body from Nyethang to Reting Monastery, and placed his remains in a stupa built by an Indian artist.{{sfn|Kossak|Bruce-Gardner|1998|p=59}}

The monastery survived the Cultural Revolution without much damage, and was able to preserve most of its valuable artifacts, due to the intervention of Premier Zhou Enlai at the request of the government of what is now Bangladesh.{{sfn|Fenton|1999|p=93}} The main hall was rebuilt in the 1990s.{{sfn|Chinese Buddhist temple tour}} In March 2010, a project began to restore the southern hall, which had deteriorated in the 1980s due to poor maintenance. 900,000 yuan were allocated for the job.{{sfn|Renovation of Drolma Lhakhang Temple to begin ... 2010}}

Description

The small two-story temple is a good example of 11th century Tibetan temple architecture.{{sfn|Drolma Lhakhang Temple, Bamboo Compass}} The temple has a long, open porch with regularly-spaced symmetrical windows.{{sfn|Drolma Lhakhang, Tibet Guru}} The Dalai Lama used the second floor as a residence; he often came to visit and worship.{{sfn|Chinese Buddhist temple tour}} This floor today has a library and some meditation rooms.{{sfn|Buckley|2012|p=178}} In the interior there are three small chapels.{{sfn|Drolma Lhakhang Temple, Bamboo Compass}} The south hall of the temple is the Coffin Tower Hall of Atiśa. It has a floor area of {{convert|359|m2}}.{{sfn|Renovation of Drolma Lhakhang Temple to begin ... 2010}}

The temple has many statues and paintings of Tara, a famous female bodhisattva.{{sfn|Chinese Buddhist temple tour}} The depictions of Tara are colored in natural pigments of white, blue, green and red.{{sfn|Drolma Lhakhang Temple, Bamboo Compass}} In the sutra-chanting chapel, there are 21 life-size bronze statues of Tara. The main statue is of Gautama Buddha with a small statue of Atiśa to the left.{{sfn|Buckley|2012|p=178}} There is a relic from Naropa at this site as well.{{sfn|Drolma Lhakhang, Tibet Guru}}

Hugh Edward Richardson photographed a figure of Atiśa in ceremonial dress enthroned in a shrine in one of the temples. Steps led to the throne, and there were five bowls of water offerings on the topmost one. There was a gilded roof immediately above the figure's head above which was a ceremonial umbrella.{{sfn|Figure of Atisha in a temple at Nyethang}} Other preserved artifacts include two clay statues of the Four Heavenly Kings, a stone grinder that Yuthog Yontan Gonpo used in making medicines and stacks of old manuscripts that make up the Kangyur section of the Tibetan Buddhist canon.{{sfn|Fenton|1999|p=93}}
