Taktok Gabma
Fully dedicated to the Düdjom Tersar, Taktok Gabma is located on the banks of the Do Chu, upstream from Karnang Gongma, and 30 km to the north of Dartsang Kalzang.
In 1892, Düdjom Lingpa saw the dakini Dorjé Zhi-Gyalma, who advised him to accept the up-coming invitation from messengers of Taktok Gabma. Few months later, Düdjom Lingpa was invited to and traveled several times to Taktok Gabma. There he gave teachings, led drupchens, and was offered wealth and livestock. It was proposed he preside over Taktok Gabma monastery, but based on indications he had just received from the dakini Yeshe Wangmo, he did not accept the offer and returned to Dartsang Kalzang.
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.
