One direction within the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism ( Vajrayana ) goes back to the Surmang monasteries : Surmang-Kagyu . Surmang was one of the three monastery complexes that exercised secular rule in Yüru'u.

In this monastery complex, Surmang-Kagyü developed, a separate direction within the Kagyü school, which in turn can be assigned to the Kamtshang Kagyü school (Tib .: kam tshang bka 'brgyud ).

At the time of its heyday, Surmang had over a thousand monks and six side monasteries.

Surmang Dütsi Thil is located in the community of Xiao Sumang at an altitude of 4251 meters on the north bank of the river. In Tibetan, 'Dütsi' corresponds to Sanskrit Amrita , which means “nectar” or “elixir”, after the nectar that is said to have been shed on the mountainside during the ceremony to found the monastery.

In the 1940s, around a hundred monks lived in Surmang Dütsi Thil.

In 1981, the reconstruction and restoration of the monastery began. The number of monks was officially set at thirty, in fact there are about sixty.
