College Affiliation: Jé (byes)

The residence of the bla ma-s of the phur lcog incarnation lineage, this compound was one of the largest bla ma residences of the monastery. It may be that the enclave also housed the mkhar rdo bla ma's residence. The phur lcog incarnations were among the most important bla ma-s of se ra. Their lineage originates with the great scholar/saint phur lcog ngag dbang byams pa (1682-1782), who was the tutor to the eighth Dalai Lama. The present compound was probably built in the 18th century, at the time that phur lcog byams pa rgya mtsho (1825-1901) served as the tutor to the 13th Dalai Lama. It is affiliated with the lho pa regional house of the byes college.
