Setenling Gompa, Ser Gompa, (pinyin: Saigesi) is a Jonangpa (or Jonang) monastery about a kilometre from the eastern edge of Aba or Ngawa City (Tibetan: '''Ngawa'''), the main city in Ngawa (Aba) County, within the Ngawa (Aba) Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture (Tibetan: Amdo) in northwestern Sichuan, China. It is located on the Tibetan plateau at an elevation of 3,200 metres (10,499 ft.). The head lama, Thubten Dorje Rinpoche, is still living in the monastery.[1]
One enters the courtyard through a gate between the office cum shop of the monastery and a mani wall with the large restored Assembly Hall in front. The Assembly Hall contains many images of Kunkhyen Dolpopa, Jetsun Kunga Drolchok,[2] Taranatha, Namnang Dorje as well as of the deities Cakrasamvara and Kalacakra.
Left of the Assembly Hall are the Tsenyi Dratsang with a walled garden for debating, the Gonkhang with an image of Takkiraja, the 'tiger-riding' form of Mahakala, and the Drubkhang or meditation hermitage with images of Dolpopa, Taranatha, Namnang Dorje and the deity Vajrakila. Newer buildings include the Dukhor Lolang with a three-dimensional mandala of Kalacakra and the Head Lama's residence with a Jokhang Chapel containing many fine images, books and tankas.[3]
The monastery was founded by Namnang Dorje, and reconstituted in the late 19th century by Dro-ge Yonten Gyatso. There are about 800 affiliated monks.
