The Zang Dhok Palri Phodang Monastery was consecrated in 1976 by Dudjom Rinpoche. It was built under the guidance of the late Dorje Chang Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje. This Monastery holds significant religious importance, housing the Kangyur, a collection of Tibetan Buddhist scriptures consisting of over 100 volumes. These scriptures were brought here after the Chinese invasion of Tibet. The monastery serves as a vital center for Buddhist learning and practice, attracting monks and devotees from across the region. Over the years, it has become a symbol of Tibetan culture and resilience in exile, preserving and promoting Buddhist traditions in the face of adversity. The monastery continues to be an active religious institution, playing a crucial role in the spiritual life of the local community and beyond.
