However, recently, the Dali Lama recognizes the Bon as one of the official spiritual schools of Tibet.<\/p>\n<p>A very important tradition and practice to take note, when visiting a Bon Monastery, always enter a temple or start a Kora in the counter-clockwise direction. It can be difficult to remember because if someone didn&#8217;t tell you, you would think you are in a Buddhist Monastery.<br \/>\nThe Monastery suffered a great deal of damage during the cultural revolution. Evidence of that can still be seen. I prefer to hike to the Monastery, which is not that far from the Northern Friendship Highway.\u00a0 Yungdrungling is situated between Lhasa and Shigatse.
