Zamling Chisang and Samye Dolde

Samye Monastery · Tibet

‘Zamling Chisang’ was originally meant to commemorate Guru Rinpoche’s subjugation of the local deities and the founding of Samye Monastery. In Lhasa, there is the spectacle of large amounts of ‘Sang’ being burned up on the hills of Chakpori, Bumpari (on the southern side of the Kyi-chu) and Gephelri (behind Drepung Monastery), etc.
