Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Tabo Monastery is the oldest earthen Buddhist monastery in the central Himalayan region. Established in the 10th-century by the Purang Guge Kingdom, it has nine temples, stupas, and cave shrines on a mountain slope in Himachal Pradesh. The Tabo monastery has notable murals. Monuments have been added over time. The Kalachakra Temple, an assembly hall built in 1983, hosted the first Kalachakra initiation by the 14th Dalai Lama at Tabo. A Kalachakra stupa was inaugurated at Tabo in 2009.
Tabo monastery was on the trade routes to Tibet. It helped the sharing of ideas between Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the construction of Buddhist temples in Tibet. The Tabo temple complex is a treasure trove of unique Buddhist art, housing a remarkable collection of paintings and statues that not only depict the history of Tibetan-Indian Buddhism but also incorporate elements from Himalayan Hindu traditions. |
