Samlo apartment house (bsam lo spyi khang), aka Chödzé Ling (chos mdzad gling)
This spacious apartment complex, located near the main gate of the monastery, belongs to the Samlo Regional House (bsam lo khang tshan). It seems that at one point in its history it was the residence of one of the lamas (bla ma) in the Mongolian Khelkha Jetsün Dampa (khal kha rje btsun dam pa) incarnation lineage. It consists of monastic quarters built around a large central courtyard, two stories on each side except for the northern side, which has three stories.
