Taktsé Samdrup Chökor Ling
Located on the banks of the Da Chu, one of the tributaries of the Nyak Chu (Ch. Xianshui River), Taktsé Samdrup Chökor Ling Ling is a myingma monastery and a branch of Katok Dorje Den. Dartsang Kalzang, the stronghold of Düdjom Lingpa and his family, is considered one of its branches.
In 1893, Tulku Lhachen Tobgyal (1884-1942), the ninth child and sixth son of Dudjom Lingpa, was brought by his father to Taktsé Samdrup Monastery and recognized as a reincarnation of Shyichen Tulku.
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.
