Samye Temple is the first temple in Tibet to be a monk in the Shannan area of Tibet. It is also known as the Cangxiang Temple, the Wubian Temple, and the central Buddhist temple has three styles of Tibetan, Han and Indian, also known as Sanxiang Temple. 
 Legend has it that when the temple was laid, the lotus illusion transformed the image of the temple, which made Akamatsu Dezan scream "Sangye" and named it, and it was full of magical colors. 
 But I am curious to have a free-range sheep?
