Chodrak Nunnery Originally constructed in the early 20th century,
Chodrak Nunnery was destroyed during the Communist Chinese invasion of
eastern Tibet. Chodrak Methu Geygun Kacho Dechen Choling Nunnery has been rebuilt
and re-established by His Eminence Chodrak Saljed Rinpoche. In 1984, His
Eminence Saljey Rinpoche appointed Venerable Lama Karma Zangpo as his
representative to supervise the rebuilding of the nunnery. On the eighth day
of the tenth month of that year, His Eminence ordained sixty nuns. Since
1984, many more nuns have come to live there and nowadays up to three hundred
nuns are associated with the nunnery. At present, the nuns are not all able
to live at the nunnery due to lack of accommodation and facilities and so
some live in neighbouring areas with family and friends. In order to assist the nuns to achieve their
spiritual goals, Venerable Sonam Tenzin Rinpoche has been working with his
Australian student, David, to create a website dedicated to the nuns of
Chodrak Monastery. Please view the website at www.chodraknunnery.org
for a most moving account of the great obstacles that these dedicated and
accomplished lama nuns encounter in their quest to pursue their spiritual
practice. |
