Reconstruction of

Karma Samten Ling Monastery, Manang

Ven. the 2nd Gaylpo Rinpoche at the age of 16, together with Lama Gyaltsen,

started the lengthy process of reconstructing dilapidated

Karma Samten

Ling Monastery.

With Rinpoche's blessings and endurance; the

tireless and continual

support of benefactors; and

the

monks and nuns overcoming

difficulties of

providing daily needs for the Monastery, the

construction

of Karma Samten

Ling Monastery in

Manang was completed.

Education

The reconstructed Monastery has been expanded to accommodate 80

monks, classrooms, bedrooms

and

facilitated to offer complete secular and

religious education, including monastic, liturgical,

philosophical and

meditation training.

After completing the 15 years of education, every student may choose to

undertake the traditional three

year

retreat, to join the higher institute of

Buddhist philosophy or to remain in the Monastery to perform

rituals and

maintain daily practice. Either way, the ultimate goal is to benefit sentient

beings.
