Yuru Tradruk Monastery (Wyl. g.yu ru khra 'brug) is the first, or at least one of the first, Buddhist temples built in Tibet by King Songtsen Gampo. Together with Samye and the Jokhang it is one of the three most important temples in Central Tibet. It is also counted among the border taming temples.
