THE
TSO-PEMA MONASTERY
First
Wogmin
Thubten Shedrup Ling in Tibet was founded by Drigung Tertön Nüden
Dorje, an embodiment of Tibet's great yogi Milarepa. During the Cultural
Revolution in Tibet, Most Ven. Ontül Rinpoche escaped Tibet and in
early 70's he founded Wogmin Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery in Tso Pema
in order to preserve the spiritual knowledge and tradition started by Lord
Jigten Sumgon the founder of Drigung Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism.
After
coming back to India from Ladakh, in 1971 from the local Maharaja, Ontül
Rinpoche bought a piece of land at Tso Pema (Rewalsar, Himachal Pradesh,
India) and build a monastery from the donations which he received from
the people of Ladakh. With the help of monastery monks Ontül
Rinpoche managed to construct a monastery on this piece of land. Tso Pema
means the “Lotus Lake”, and this is one of the sacred places where Guru
Padmasambhava demonstrated his miraculous powers. The purpose of his exhibiting
miracles on that place was to subdue the king and the people of that region,
which was then known as Sahor. It took many years for Ontül
Rinpoche to complete the monastery with the sacred objects, ritual instruments,
and other necessary things.
There
are about 50 monks ranging in age from 5 to 74 years old, many of the young
monks are orphans, semi-orphans and from poor family trying to survive
in a difficult situation as their parents are barely able to survive. The
compassionate Ontül Rinpoche accepted
many of these young monks and with the intentions to maintain the pure
Buddhist Tradition in the monastery. The Monastery is situated in Tso Pema
(Lotus Lake), a well known lake where Guru Rinpoche performed miracles
which has a place in the history of Tibetan Buddhism and are told over
and over again to younger generations. Many Buddhist from all over the
world frequent this sacred lake during their pilgrimage to holy places
of Buddhism.
