Thangbi Lhakhang

Thangbi Lhakhang
Thangbi Lhakhang is a Nyingmapa monastery in upper Choekhor (Bumthang) valley. It was founded in 1470 by the 4th Shamar Rinpoche of the Karma Kagyu school but subsequently taken over by Pema Lingpa and run as a Nyingmapa temple. The iron curtain in front of the main temple (see inset photo) is attributed to Pema Lingpa himself. Typically for Nyingmapa monasteries, Thangbi is run by 20 gomchen (married lay monks) who live as farmers in houses grouped round the Lhakhang (see inset photo)

Großen Dank Maik! Die Klöster in dem Teil des Lands sind sehr alt und gar nicht protzig:-)
