Tashi Chhoyling Monastery was founded by Gopal Lama in 1993 in Kaski District (Pokhara, Nepal) on the shore of Pewa Lake. The monastic tradition of the monastery is rnying ma pa, a lineage of Tibetan Buddhism which literally means “follower of the ancient tradition”.
Today the Tashi Chhoylingg monastery hosts 60 young monks between the ages of 10 and 16, who, unfortunately, live in very precarious conditions. The lessons take place outside, on some simple tables and chairs under a large shed with a sheet metal roof, typical of the temporary housing built after the earthquake of 2015. The families of the children admitted to the monastery cannot provide any financial assistance and Gopal Lama’s income, which comes from rituals and donations, is not sufficient to guarantee his students’ basic needs and the costs of education and health care.
