Rong Ngurmik was monastery in Rong established by students of Tongstun Sherab Sengge in the eleventh century. Local history holds that a Vairocana temple at Ngurmik existed since the imperial era. Sachen Kunga Nyingpo studied Abhidharmakośa at the age of twelve under Darma Nyingpo. In the twelfth century it was the largest monastic complex in the area, a college having been established by Che Duldzin (gtsang rong pa lce 'dul 'dzin). It later became a branch of Rong Jamchen. The Tara statue for which it is named was moved to Tashilunpo by the Fourth Panchen Lama. The complex was destroyed in 1969.
