Dranang Jampa Ling is a Geluk monastery in Dranang, central Tibet. It was established in the fifteenth century by Lhundrub Tashi, a descendent of Tonmi Sambhota. It was well known for a large stupa, which is said to have been the largest in Tibet. It contained murals by Mentangpa, the progenitor of the Menri style of Tibetan art. Badly damaged in the 1960's in recent decades the complex has been reconstructed. It was affiliated with Drepung Gomang College
