Welcome to Nubri Monastery
The Nubri Monastery of Nepal (Shri Sangchen Rapten Norbu Ling Gomba) is located high on the southern slopes of the Himalayas, the border of Tibet and Nepal. It is a Nyingmapa (old school) monastery and has been there for over five hundred years.
Life there is very hard, but for those who are serious practitioners, it provides a conducive place for concentrated practice with no distractions or entertainment. Some of the students who get their basic training at Chorten Gonpa come to Nubri for more concentrated practice. Nubri is nearly half nuns and is progressive in giving them an equal footing with the monks, which is unusual in Asian monasteries. Under the supervision of Kyabje Dodrup Chen Rinpoche, the Nubri monastery which had been only a few residents, now has attracted a hundred monks and nuns putting a great strain on the resources. They are in critical need of funding.
Winters are long and the growing season short in this extremely remote region. There is very little in the way of a surrounding community to support the monastery. The monastery needs our financial help to survive.
Without this monastery, which benefits all sentient beings in an unparalleled way, our world would be a poorer place. We cannot afford to lose this haven of peace; it is an anchor for our own fragile existence. It offers magic to our materialistic world.
“Between the hermit meditating in the mountains
And the donor who provides his sustenance,
There is a link that will lead them to enlightenment together.
Dedication of merit is the very heart of that link.” – Milarepa
In order to ensure long-term support for Nubri Monastery, The Tshog Dag Foundation has established The Remote Monastery Fund (RMF). The aim is to build an endowment which can be invested and eventually produce a steady stream of funding for the Nubri Monastery. These funds will be held separately from other accounts of Tshog Dag.
