After Songtsen Gampo's death in 650, his most outstanding successors, Trisong Detsen (742-798) and King Tri Ralpa Chen (804-836), followed the Buddhist trend and allied with the Tang Dynasty. In 779, Trisong Detsen built the first Buddhist temple – Sam ye Monastery , which symbolized the formal recognition of Buddhism in Tibet. In 823 during the reign of King Tri Ralpa Chen, the 'Uncle-Nephew Alliance Tablet' was erected in front of the Jokhang Temple to mark the alliance between the Tubo and the Tang Dynasties. By 836, not only had Buddhist monasteries mushroomed throughout Tibet, but the supremacy of monks expanded. Frightened by the overwhelming popularity of Buddhism, Lang Darma (797-841), the brother of King Tri Ralpa, a Bon believer, killed the king in 836 and ascended the throne. Severe demolitions of Buddhist monasteries and persecutions against monks in the following years eventually provoked massive rebellions and the assassination of Lang Darma. In 877, the rebelling armies conquered Chonggye County and destroyed the <a href="/cityguide/tsetang.htm">Graveyard of Tibetan Kings</a> , ending the Tubo Kingdom and starting 400-year-long period of wars and decentralizations.</p>
