Yakhang Lhakhang

The Yakhang Lhakhang is a privately owned monastery founded by Lama Sangdag, the 6th son of Terton Pema Lingpa. It is 20 minutes walk from the Mongar town.
The monastery stands as one of the great cultural significance as it is a repository of a full range of spiritual treasures and other sacred objects known to have discovered by Terton Pema Lingpa. As Pema Lingpa is the quintessential Bhutanese master and was completely homegrown, all his work for the benefit of beings happened here in Bhutan and he is really the epitome of Bhutan.
The teachings and religious practices are maintained without decline in values and behavior in strict accordance with Peling traditions. This is the only monastery which is preserved untouched, modified in its pure tradition and culture of Buddhism in the east.
