Tengyeling was a monastery belonging to the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism in downtown Lhasa .

Tengyeling was built in the 18th century by Ngawang Jampel Deleg Gyatsho ( ngag dbang dge legs rgya mtsho ; 1722–1777), the 6th Demo Hutuktu . The temple is located on the southwest side of Jokhang , on the north side of the Tibetan Traditional Medicine Hospital . It was the most important and earliest of the Four Temples of Regency ( gling bzhi ) and the traditional residence of the Demo Hutuktus (Demo Labrang residence) in Lhasa.

The fourth demo Hutuktu or Demo Rinpoche Lhawang Geleg Gyaltsen (1631–1668) had close ties with the 5th Dalai Lama . The 6th demo Rinpoche was regent (chin. Shèzhèng 攝政 ) of Tibet (r. 1757–1777), also the 7th (r. 1811–1819) and 9th (r. 1886–1895). The 10th Demo Rinpoche, Tendzin Gyatsho , a nephew of the 13th Dalai Lama , was born in 1901.

Like Drepung, the monastery traditionally had close religious ties with other parts of China and supported the Chinese troops under General Zhao Erfeng (Chao Erh-feng) in Lhasa from 1911 to 1912. In 1912 it was attacked and destroyed for its stance against the Dalai Lama. Then the seat of the Demo Hutuktu was relocated.
