Samye Monastery
Samye Monastery in Tibet

The Samye Monastery or Samye Gompa was the first Buddhist monastery built in Tibet, constructed in approximately 775 AD under the patronage of King Trisong Detsen of Tibet. The monastery is located in Dranang, Shannan Prefecture.

According to tradition, the Indian monk Shantarakshita made the first attempt to construct the monastery while promoting his sutra-centric version of Buddhism. Finding the Samye site auspicious, he set about to build a structure there. However the building would always collapse after reaching a certain stage. Terrified, the construction workers believed that there was a demon in a nearby river making trouble.

However, when Shantarakshita's contemporary Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, arrived from northern India, the great guru was able to subdue the problematic Bön demons and thus build the monastery.

This marked the foundation of the original school of Tibetan Buddhism, the Nyingma. This also helps explain how Guru Rinpoche's tantric-centric version of Buddhism gained ascendance over the sutra-based teaching of Shantarakshita.

Samye Monastery was badly damaged during the Cultural Revolution and renovated beginning in the 1980s. Today it is still an active monastery and important pilgrimage destination.

Sayme Monastery Incense SAMYE SAMANTHABADRA INCENSE STICKS: Using the secret recipe of Guru Rinpoche, monks at Samye Monastery craft this incense. It contains over 30 different kinds of precious Tibetan medicinal herbs and spices such as white and red sandalwood, pangolin scales, musk, and crocus.

It receives its mystical powers through the monk's chanting of the consecrated Buddhist Scriptures as the incense is being made. This incense is not only a perfect offering to the Triple Jewels and all guardian deities, but a rare holy object which clears negative influence, purifies the air, prevents disease, and benefits both mind and wisdom as well. Box contains approximately 32, 10" sticks. NOTE: Contains animal extracts.
