Awo Séra Tekchen Chökhor Ling
Located on the upper banks of the Nyi Chu in the western part of Serta, Awo Séra Tekchen Chökhor Ling was founded in 1736 by the First Sögen Tulku as is a Nyingma monastery of the Palyul tradition. Later, it became a Rimé institution. In the 19th century, it was the main activity place of the Fourth Sögen Trülku Natsok Rangdrol (1869–1935), a student of Düdjom Lingpa, and a chödak of both Trülku Drimé Özer (1881-1924) and Déwé Dorjé (1892-1940).[1]

Since the early 8th century, Tibetans and Himalayan people have treasured "Namtars" as written or spoken narratives that demonstrate the realization of the Buddhist path by exceptional practitioners. These namtars, or spiritual biographies, serve as inspirational guides on the path to enlightenment.
Today, Namtars Foundation aims to record, preserve, and freely offer the world a written and electronic treasury of the oral wisdom of Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism.
