At the foot of Parma Ri, close to Beijing Zhonglu, is one of Lhasa’s four former royal temples. The ling (royal) temples were appointed by the fifth Dalai Lama, and it was from one of them that regents of Tibet were generally appointed. There are only a couple of restored chapels open, but it’s a friendly place with around 60 monks and worth a visit. Look for the upstairs mural of the original Kunde Ling, 80% of which has been destroyed.
There's normally debating here between 2pm and 4pm.
