The Samye Monastery or Samye Gompa (Tibetan: བསམ་ཡས་; Wylie: bsam yas; ZWPY: Samyä) is the first Buddhist monastery built in Tibet, constructed in approximately 775 AD under the patronage of King Trisong Detsen of Tibet who sought to revitalize Buddhism, which had declined since its introduction by King Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century. The monastery is located in Dranang, Shannan Prefecture.
