• Shalu Monastery
  • Located 20 kilometers south of Shigatse, the Shalu Monastery was founded in 1040. Shalu means "new bud" in Tibetan language, which comes from the story of Chetsun and his teacher. His teacher suggested that Chetsun shoot an arrow, and found a monastery where the arrow hit. The flying arrow hit a new bud, hence the name Shalu come. The monastery is architecturally distinctive which combines the local Tibetan style with that of Chinese Yuan Dynasty. There are four religious treasures in this temple: the sutra board, the brass urn, the stone basin, and the stone tablet. Shalupa also known as Butonpa, took form under Buton's leadership. Shalupa included magical feats that monks learned to do. Some monks wore thin clothing in cold weather. They were able to raise their body temperatures to such a level that warm clothing was not needed. Other monks were able to run by leaping superhuman distances covering long distances without rest.
