Bangpu Monastery

Bangpu Monastery is a cultural tourism attraction.

Introduction Constructed in 1144 by the First Karmapa, Düsum Khyenpa, Bangpu Monastery is home to a highly treasured self-modeled statue of the First Karmapa, along with the master’s personal handwriting and blood paintings on rocks. It is not only a place that inspires awe, but also one that draws worshippers. The monks frequently feed tsampa to the fish in the Sangdu River, and the fish, seemingly intelligent, often gather in groups, allowing the monks to gently stroke their backs.
