Ramoche Temple ར་མོ་ཆེ་དགོན་པ་

Ramoche Temple is the second most important Buddhist temple in Tibet. Its build around the same time as of the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet, therefore it is known as the sister temple of Jokhang Temple. The temple is located north of Jokhang and east of Potala Palace. Originally the Ramoche temple was built to house a Buddha Statue brought into Tibet by the queen of Songtsen Gampo, Princess Wen Cheng of Tang Dynasty.

Later during Mangsong Mangtsen’s rule due to the tread. The Jho Skaya muni was hidden a hidden chapel in Jokhang. Later Princess Wencheng has placed the Jho Sakya muni as the main image of Jokhang temple and place the Jowo Mikyö Dorje (the one brought in by Nepalese queen Birkuti) at the Ramoche Temple.

During the Mongol invasion, the Temple was badly damaged by fire and there is no certainty that the statue remain is the original one brought from Nepal. The present three-storied building was constructed in 1474, the original location of the temple has become the main assembly hall for the Gyuto Tratsang.
