Namdroling
Monastery
Namdroling Monastery represents the fruit of the huge
investment of time and energy made by Penor Rinpoche. Today, Namdroling
Monastery
in Byalakuppe is a thriving community and home to thousands of lamas,
monks and nuns, making it the largest Nyingmapa teaching center in
the world. Those who have studied or are studying at the monastery include
all the major lineage holding tulkus and lamas of the Palyul tradition,
including the fifth Karma Kuchen Rinpoche, the third Choktrul Rinpoche
and the third Rago Choktrul Rinpoche. Their spiritual training is directed
and guided by Penor Rinpoche himself. Tulkus of other traditions have
also studied at Namdroling, including the Sakyong (Mipham Rinpoche),
Minling Dungsey, and Minling Khenchen Rinpoche.
Rinpoche never turns away anyone who is qualified to join
the monastic sangha. All the expenses required to live and study at
the monastery are borne by Rinpoche. These include housing, food, medical
care, clothing and even pocket money for all the monks and nuns.
It is said that those who have command over their
mind can also command the physical elements. Penor Rinpoche wrote once
again in ink on a conch shell, this time the mantra of Manjushri, the
bodhisattava of wisdom. Even when the ink had faded the letters remained
luminously embossed on the conch, which is still kept and cherished
by Khenpo Namdrol. This was recognized as a sign that the tradition
of Nyingma scholars would flourish and continue at Namdroling.
