'''Kunzangdrak''' ({{bo|t=ཀུན་བཟང་བྲག་|w=kun bzang brag}}) is a [[Buddhist]] sacred site in the [[Tang Valley]] of central [[Bhutan]]. It lies at an altitude of 3,350 metres (10,990 feet) in the hollow of a cliff. [[Guru Rinpoche]] and his disciple [[Namkhai Nyingpo]] are said to have meditated here at the end of the 8th century. The current temple, however, was established in 1488 by [[Pema Lingpa]].<ref name="Pommaret">{{cite book|author=Pommaret, Francoise|title=Bhutan Himalayan Mountains Kingdom|publisher=Odyssey Books and Guides|year=2006|pages=249–50 |edition=5th }}</ref> Aside from Pema Lingpa's living quarters, the site consists of three temples, the Wangkhang, which has the main statue of [[Avalokiteshvara]] with a thousand eyes and a thousand hands,Özerphug, the meditation cave of Pema Lingpa's son, [[Tuksey Dawa Gyeltsen]] (ཐུགས་སྲས་ཟླ་བ་རྒྱལ་མཚན) and the Khandroma Lhakang, which contains a gilded copper statue of Pema Lingpa.<ref name="Pommaret"/>
