(Kham-Chamdo, 1994) After three days rolling on the back of a truck, |
At the top of the hill, Chamdo Jampaling monastery
....was NOT found! A television tower rose high there. The monastery was behind the TV station. |
On the slope of the hill, there were a Tibetan town filled with beautiful Tibetan style houses.
|
"1000". "No, more than 1500!" ---- When I asked the monks how many monks lived in the monastery, they just gave me rough answers as always. But I am sure the Jampaling monastery was so big actually. It was under total renovation.

The kitchen of Jampaling. The big monastery needs big pots naturally. When I visited there, a special ceremony happened to be held. Rice was delivered to all the monks.
