Jampa Lhakang Monastery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jampa Lhakang Monastery (Nepali: जाम्पा लाकान्ग गुम्बा, Thubchen Gumba or Gompa), also called Maitreya Temple,[1] is a Buddhist monastery located in Lo Manthang, Upper Mustang in Nepal. It was thought to be built in the 11th century AD[2] but later verified to be built in the 15th century AD and contains the world's largest collection of mandalas painted on its walls.[3] The earthquake of April 2015 severely damaged these paintings and 500-year-old frescos of the floors. The American Himalayan Foundation and Lo Gyalpo Jigme Cultural Conservation Foundation are helping to recover these damages.[4][5]
