During the autumn one of the main drubchö held at the monastery
is the Kame'i Tsogchen Düpa. During this time, five separate
drubchö are held simultaneously creating a most profound
environment of deepened practice and generating boundless blessings
for all sentient beings. The great Sadhana of Yangdag, the Sadhana
of Gyuthrul Zhiwa and Sadhana of Tsogchen Düpa were held in the
three shrine rooms of the Great Stupa – the Guru Lhakhang, the
Shakyamuni shrineroom and in the lineage shrineroom called the Le
Lang.
The Gyuthrul Throwo was held in the main shrine room of the
monastery and the Lung Lug Tshe Pag Med (Amitayus) Sadhana was held
in the shrine room of the Shedra.
Venerable Tulku Gyurme Namgyal presided over the Sadhana of
Yangdag, Venerable Tulku Ugyen Tenphel Nyima was the lopön for the

In 1959, at the age of twenty-nine, Trichen Jurme
Kunzang Wangya's father, the Xth Mindrolling Trichen, had
died. His enthronement as the
XIth Mindrolling Trichen was
set to take place. All these plans were shattered by the communist
chinese invasion and the TIbetan uprising. His Holiness went into
exile in India, fleeing Tibet along with many great masters of his
generation. He left behind the monastery established in 1676 in the
Drachi Valley by his predecessor the first Mindrolling Trichen,
Terdag Lingpa.
After several years of tireless effort helping to establish
Tibetan Buddhism in exile, his official enthronement took
place in 1962. In 1976 Rinpoche was
finally able to set up the official monastic seat of
Mindrolling in exile. Located in the foothills of the
Himalayas in Dehra Dun in North India, Mindrolling Monastery has
expanded steadily to become one of the largest Buddhist centers in
existence today. All the great masters of Tibetan Buddhism, and
especially all the teachers of the Nyingma lineage consider
Mindrolling to be an inspiring example of the practice of the pure
and profound Dharma of Vajrayana Buddhism.
