Hinang Thrangu Tashi Choephel Ling Monastery

Hinang Thrangu Tashi Chopheling Monastery was built in Nubri, Nepal, by Ven. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, and he consecrated the monastery in April 2009. Tulku Damcho Rinpoche formally accepted the role of spiritual head of Nubri Thrangu Monastery. Every year, the monastery offers Mani (Chenrezig) pujas, Guru Rinpoche pujas and Mahakala Pujas for the residents of the region. There is also a free medical clinic to serve the locals as well. The monastery currently has 20 monk students from ages 4 to 13. Children begin with learning the alphabet, spelling, reading, and proceed to the memorization of prayers and other relevant texts and observing daily monastic rules and regulations. They also learn various ritual arts, metrical rhymes, trumpet, making tormas, etc. As they proceed to higher classes, they learn grammar, prosody or literary science. English and arithmetic are also taught. After completion of their studies at the monastery, they will be sent to Namo Buddha Shree Mangal Dvip Branch School for further studies.
