The Manam Monastery is a Buddhist monastery in the former Kingdom of Guge and is now located in the village of Manam in the Dawa municipality of Zanda (Tsada) district in the far west of Tibet (in Ngari ). The monastery is said to have been founded in the 11th century in the time of the Guge king Lha Lama Changchub Öd ( lha bla ma byang chub 'od ; 984-1078) by Rinchen Sangpo (958-1055).

This is where Atisha's (980–1054) Lamrim “lamp of the path of enlightenment” ( Sanskrit : Bodhipathapradipam , Tibetan: byang chub lam gyi sgron ma , Chinese: Putidaodenglun ), the basic text of the Lamrim doctrine, was created.
