'''Nyenchen Tanglha''' (Tib. གཉན་ཆེན་ཐང་ལྷ་, [[Wyl.]] ''gnyan chen thang lha'') is the name given both to a 700-mile-long mountain range of Northern Tibet, and to the [[Dharma Protectors|protector deity]] associated with it, who was bound under oath by Guru [[Padmasambhava]] when Buddhism was first established in Tibet.
