Gonkar Chode Monastery is the birth place for one of the sub traditions of the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism but it is remembered more for being the place where the Khyen-ri Style of Tibetan painting originated with Khyentse Chenmo. The monastery is an approximately two hour drive West of the town of Lhasa. The images belong to the Sarah Richardson Photographic Archive.
