The Shaten Monastery (tib. zhabs brtan dgon pa; Chinese: 孝登寺; pinyin: Xiàodēng sì, also 夏登寺 Xiàdēng sì) is a temple located in Nagqu Town in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, which is associated with the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana).
History
[edit]The monastery was founded in 1724 by the fourth Drukhang Rinpoche (sgrub khang sprul sku; Chinese: 珠康活佛; pinyin: Zhūkāng huófó).[1] Today, the seventh line holder of this incarnation line is Drukhang Thubten Khedrup (sgrub khang thub bstan mkhas grub; 珠康·土登克珠; born 1955),[2] vice president of the Political Consultative Conference of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and vice chairman of China's Buddhism Association.[3]
One branch of the Tibetan Buddhist Institute (西藏佛学院 Xīzàng fóxuéyuàn; founded in 2011) was officially established there in 2013 (besides two others at Sera Monastery and Samye Monastery).[4]
Cultural Relics Protection Unit of the Tibet Autonomous Region
[edit]Since 2013, the monastery has been on the list of (the province-level) Cultural Relics Protection Units of the Tibet Autonomous Region 西藏自治区文物保护单位 (6–134).[5]
