The Dentig Monastery (also Dänthig Monastery , Dantig Gompa , Tib. Dan tig dgon pa or dan tig shel gyi yang dgon ) in the Nationality Municipality Jinyuan 金源乡 the Tibetan Autonomous district Hualong Hui of Hui in the Chinese province of Qinghai is a historically significant monastery of the Yellow Hats (Gelugpa) school of Tibetan Buddhism in central Amdo .

The founder of the monastery, Lachen Gongpa Rabsel (892–975 or 952–1035), was ordained by the three monks known as the ' Three Wise Men from Tibet ' who had fled “Central Tibet” to avoid the persecution of King Lang Darma ( reg. 836–842 or 901–907). Gongpa Rabsel again ordained the "ten monks from Ü and Tsang ", including Lume , and thus continued the line of tradition. The 13th Dalai Lama and the current 14th  Dalai Lama , the Buddhist monk Tendzin Gyatsho , are also holders of this ordination line.
