Alchi Monastery/Gompa - Oldest Buddhist Monastery @ Ladakh
Alchi Monastery or Alchi Gompa is a Buddhist monastery, known more as a monastic complex (chos-'khor) of temples in Alchi village in the Leh District, of the Indian state under the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council of Jammu and Kashmir. The complex comprises four separate settlements in the Alchi village in the lower Ladakh region with monuments dated to different periods. Of these four hamlets, Alchi monastery is said to be the oldest and most famous. It is administered by the Likir Monastery.[1][2][3]
Alchi is also part of the three villages (all in lower Ladakh region) which constitute the ‘Alchi group of monuments’; the other two villages adjoining Alchi are the Mangyu and Sumda Chun. The monuments in these three villages are stated to be of “unique style and workmanship’, but the Alchi monastic complex is the best known.[1][2]
The monastery complex was built, according to local tradition, by the great translator Guru Rinchen Zangpo between 958 and 1055. However, inscriptions in the preserved monuments ascribe it to a Tibetan noble called Kal-dan Shes-rab later in the 11th century.[2][4] Dukhang or Assembly Hall and the Main Temple (gTsug-lag-khang), which is a three-storied temple called the Sumtseg (gSum-brtsegs), are built in Kashmiri style as seen in many monasteries; the third temple is called the Manjushri Temple ('Jam-dpal lHa-khang). Chortens are also an important part of the complex.[1][2]
The artistic and spiritual details of both Buddhism and the Hindu kings of that time in Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh are reflected in the wall paintings in the monastery. These are some of the oldest surviving paintings in Ladakh. The complex also has huge statues of the Buddha and elaborate wood carvings and art-work comparable to the baroque style.[2][5] Shakti Maira has vividly explained the beauty of this small monastery.[6]

Shakti village and Takthok monastery - Ladakh
Far away view of Takthok monastery at Shakti village, Ladakh district of Jammu and Kashmir, India.
Takthok Monastery (also known as Thag Thog or Thak Thak) is a Buddhist monastery in Sakti village in Ladakh, northern India, located approximately 46 kilometres east of Leh. The name Takthok, literally meaning 'rock-roof' was named because both its roof as well as walls are made up of rock. It belongs to the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and approximately 55 lamas reside there. It is the only Nyingma monastery in Ladakh.
The monastery was founded around the mid-16th century during the reign of Tshewang Namgyal on a mountainside around a cave in which Padmasambhava is said to have meditated in the 8th century. Every year on the 9th and 10th day of the sixth month of the Tibetan calendar, celebrations which include sacred dances are held.
The main temple is very dark and gloomy with a low ceiling of rock completely covered with the residue from centuries of butterlamps having been burned there. The paintings that once adorned the walls are covered with grime and even the floor feels sticky. Further down another cave has been turned into a kitchen which has immense stoves capable of producing enough food for all the pilgrims who arrive for the annual festival (which has been shifted to the summer months to accommodate tourists). The Assembly Hall, or du-khang's verandah, has paintings of the Four Lords, while the walls have recent paintings of fierce protector divinities some of which adorn the verandah entrance. The du-khang also contains statues of Maitreya, Padmasambhava and his manifestation Dorje Takposal.
A new temple was consecrated by H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama in 1980 just below the main gompa complex. The wall to the left of the throne in this temple is decorated with the mural of Padmasambhava, and the one on the left has a painting of Sakyamuni. To the left of the central courtyard is the cave chapel and images of Padmasambhava and Avalokitesvara stand opposite. A small cave behind them is believed to be the place where Padmasambhava lived and meditated for three years. The monastery also has the 108 volumes of the Kanjur of Buddha's teachings.

Điểm đến cuối cùng của MC Thảo My trong chuyến hành trình đến Bhutan chính là tu viện Tiger's Nest, nằm tại thung lũng Paro tuyệt đẹp.
Nằm cách Paro 10km, tu viện Tiger's Nest nằm cách mực nước biển 3200m, nằm cheo leo trên vách núi dốc đứng. Đây là tu viện linh thiêng bậc nhất ở Bhutan. Mỗi người dân Bhutan đều phải cố gắng đến đây ít nhất một lần trong đời.
Đường lên tu viện hoàn toàn biệt lập, và là con đường độc đạo ở đây. Theo người dân địa phương, muốn leo lên ngọn núi có tu viện Tiger's Nest, phải đi qua đoạn đường dài 4,2km, mất khoảng 2-3 giờ đi bộ qua những dốc núi cao. Những người có sức khỏe trung bình có thể chọn đi ngựa để di chuyển đến Tiger's Nest dễ dàng hơn, với giá khoảng 15 USD, tương đương khoảng 300 ngàn đồng tiền Việt Nam.
Tiger's Nest là tên gọi quen thuộc của tu viện Taktsang, nghĩa đen là hang ổ của hổ. Tại nơi đây, đại sư Padmasambhava đã ngồi thiền trong 3 năm, 3 tháng, 3 tuần, 3 ngày và 3 giờ vào thế kỷ thứ 8. Đức Padmasambhava được ghi nhận là có công đưa Phật giáo vào Bhutan và được tôn là Thần Thành hoàng của đất nước này.
Được biết, năm 1998, một vụ hỏa hoạn đã thiêu rụi ngôi điện chính của quần thể tu viện Tiger's Nest. Năm 2005, nhà vua Bhutan cho trùng tu lại tu viện. Không chỉ là thánh địa, Tiger's Nest còn là biểu tượng văn hóa của đất nước Bhutan. Tu viện gồm 4 đền chính nối với nhau bằng những lối đi lát đá, cầu thang gỗ và 8 hang động bao quanh. Xung quanh là các ban công lộng gió để du khách chiêm ngưỡng thung lũng Paro tuyệt đẹp phía dưới.
Shey Palace - Leh, Ladakh
Located at an altitude of around 11,204 feet above sea level and on the way to Thikse and Hemis Gompas on the main road leading east along the Indus, Shey Palace and Monastery is only 15 km from the town of Leh. Shey Palace was built in 1665 by the King of Ladakh as his summer retreat house.
The Palace and Monastery of Shey are in the vicinity of the village by the same name. Shey used to be the capital of ancient Ladakh. Shey was abandoned after the Dogras of Jammu and Kashmir conquered Ladakh and the Namgyals were removed from the power. Legend has it that there used to be an artificial lake around the Palace, but there is no real evidence of its existence.
Located on a hill Shey contains a gold topped victory Stupa. The monastery has a two storied statue of Sakyamuni Buddha wrought with copper and gold. The walls of the Du-Khang are adorned with beautiful frescos. Since the monastery is exclusive, it is preferable to make arrangements to see this monastery with the head Lama before hand. Many chortens can be seen to the east of the Monastery. A traveler should not miss the engraving on a rook-face beside the main road below the monastery which represent five Buddha’s in meditation.
Shey Monastery has two seasonal festivals which are held every year. The first festival is held at Shey Palace on the 26th and 27th day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar which is in the month of July or August. This festival is called “Shey Doo Lhoo” it is held to mark the beginning of the sowing season. The two day celebration is marked by special rituals performed by the monks in the main monastery, in addition to several other religious rites. Villagers flock to the monastery in large numbers in a spirit of celebration and hope.
During this festival an oracle reader visits Shey Monastery riding a horse and conducts a three day prayer and then goes into a trance. In this state of trance, he is said to give prophesies for the coming year.
The second festival in Shey is called the “Shey Rupla” that marks the harvesting season. On this occasion farmers offer the first fruits of the corn at the monastery. A dance called the “Rhupal dance” is performed by two men in tiger costumes. Other forms of folk dances are also performed.
Around Shey Palace and Monastery there are a handful of accommodation options in the village. The accommodation is mostly in the form of budget guest houses and home stays. There are also a few eateries in the village in the form of Dhabas.
For those who like to shop there is a Souvenir stall at the entrance of the Palace which sells Shey Palace collectibles
in the form of mugs, caps, watches and t shirts. The best way of getting to this Palce is by hiring a taxi from the town of Leh, since public transport is not very good.
Shey Palce and Monastery is a must visit place while in the town of Leh. Shey is a place which has something to offer for all kinds of travellers.

Indus river with Stakna monastery in Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir: India derives her name from the Indus
Indus river with Stakna monastery in Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir: India derives her name from the Indus
Located 30 km from Leh on the banks of the Indus River, Stakna Monastery gets its name from the shape of the hill it is built on. Stakna literally means tiger’s nose and that’s exactly how the hill looks like. Stakna Monastery is affiliated to the Drukpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and was established during the second half of the 16th century by a Bhutanese scholar named Chosje Jamyang Palkar. The monastery is known for the sacred statue of Arya Avalokitesvara which was donated by the people of Kamrup in Assam. There is also a 7 ft tall silver gilded chorten to the right of the main courtyard, which has a figure of Lord Buddha along with other scriptures. Another notable feature of the monastery is a stuffed Lhasa Apso in the central courtyard. The stuffed dog was once the favourite pet of one of the early lamas of the monastery.
The assembly hall of the monastery known as Dukhang has beautiful paintings of Shakyamuni, Tsephakmad and Amchi on its walls and that of Bodhisattva, Padmasambhava and Tshong-san-Gompa on the wall opposite to this hall. Stakna Monastery which is the residence of around 30 monks provides excellent photography opportunities due to its excellent location atop the hill near the meandering Indus River.

Sankar Monastery or Sankar Gompa - Leh, India
Sankar Gompa is a subsidiary of Spitok gompa, having the same head lama. Sankar is easily visited on foot from Leh, lying as it does in Leh's suburbs. About 25 lamas of the yellow-hat sect are attached to Sankar but only a few live here permanently. Thus, it is only open to the public from 7 to 10 am and from 5 to 7 p.m. Sankar gompa is about 90 years old but is located on the site of a small temple that was built about 500 years ago.
From the street one enters the gompa's front yard. To the right are a few steps climbing up to the double doors that open onto the Dukhang or main assembly hall. The entrance porch has paintings of the Guardians of the Four Directions on either side of the entry door. On the left wall of the verandah is a Wheel of Life held by Yama, the deity that determines a person's future fate after death. The wall on the right depicts the Old Man of Long Life. In the Dukhang there is a throne opposite the entrance that is reserved for the gompa's head lama. To the left of the throne are colourful butter sculptures made by mixing butter and barley flour. Further to the left is a glass-fronted case containing the image of Yamadhaka, a fierce guardian divinity. To the right of the throne is an image of Avalokitesvara with 1,000 arms and eleven heads. The Dukhang's side walls have new paintings of various Buddhas, while various guardian divinities appear on either side of the entrance hall.
Sankar Gompa on either side of the throne seat are doors entering into a small chapel behind. This room has a central image of Tsong-kha-pa, founder of the yellow-hat sect of Buddhism and his two chief disciples. Below the disciples are images of Sakyamuni (the Historical Buddha) on either side of Tsong-kha-pa. To the left is an image of Avalokitesvara, with 1,000 arms and eleven heads (nine Bodhisattva heads, one head angry at the suffering in the world and a Buddha head on top). To the right is a case containing numerous Tibetan bronzes. Against the right wall is a White Guardian, and a mandala of Amchi (the Buddha of Medicine).
Exiting the Dukhang, turn left, go through a door and up one flight of steps. Immediately on the leftis a door leading into a small inner courtyard. The walls of this courtyard are painted with the Tibetan calendar (resembling a large chessboard) and murals depicting the proper way for lamas to live. A mural across the top of one side of the courtyard shows Sakyamuni in the middle, flanked by his two chief disciples. On the far right of the mural is Tsong-kha-pa and on the far left is Atisa, an Indian Buddhist and great teacher of Buddhism in Tibet.
Diagonally opposite the door leading to this courtyard is the entrance to the Dukar Lha-khang, a small temple devoted to the deity Dukar. The main image is a very imposing statue of Dukar, inset with turquoise and shown with 1,000 arms, 1,000 feet, 1,000 heads and 100,000 eyes. Numerous bangle bracelets have been left as offerings by women devotees at the feet of this deity. To the left of Dukar is a case containing various bronze images.
On the right is a statue of Maitreya (the Buddha of the Future) and another case of bronze statues. Directly over the front porch of the gompa is the Kandshur, the 108 volumes of Buddha's teachings and images of the Three Buddhas - Sakyamuni (the Past Buddha), the Present Buddha and Maitreya (the Future Buddha).

Shey Palace and monastery in Leh town
Shey Palace is located on a hillock in Shey. it is 15 km to the south of Leh on Leh-Manali highway in Jammu and Kashmir state.
Located at an altitude of around 11,204 feet above sea level and on the way to Thikse and Hemis Gompas on the main road leading east along the Indus, Shey Palace, and Monastery is only 15 km from the town of Leh. Shey Palace was built in 1665 by the King of Ladakh as his summer retreat house.
The Palace and Monastery of Shey are in the vicinity of the village by the same name. Shey used to be the capital of ancient Ladakh. Shey was abandoned after the Dogras of Jammu and Kashmir conquered Ladakh and the Namgyals were removed from the power. Legend has it that there used to be an artificial lake around the Palace, but there is no real evidence of its existence.
Located on a hill Shey contains a gold topped victory Stupa. The monastery has a two storied statue of Sakyamuni Buddha wrought with copper and gold. The walls of the Du-Khang are adorned with beautiful frescos. Since the monastery is exclusive, it is preferable to make arrangements to see this monastery with the head Lama before hand. Many chortens can be seen to the east of the Monastery. A traveler should not miss the engraving on a rook-face beside the main road below the monastery which represent five Buddha’s in meditation.
Shey Monastery has two seasonal festivals which are held every year. The first festival is held at Shey Palace on the 26th and 27th day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar which is in the month of July or August. This festival is called “Shey Doo Lhoo” it is held to mark the beginning of the sowing season. The two day celebration is marked by special rituals performed by the monks in the main monastery, in addition to several other religious rites. Villagers flock to the monastery in large numbers in a spirit of celebration and hope.
