This Monastery is known as ‘Ugen Sangdoling’ and is situated at Naga,
North Sikkim. Earlier, people were conducting Mani Puja in a Kutcha
House. It follows Nyingmapa Sect of
Mahayana Buddhism. The monastery was built in 1937 A.D. by the devotees
on the advice of one High Lama Kyabgon Batrul Rinpoche who during his
tour to northern Sikkim, halted at Naga Manilhakhang. Seeing a pitiable
condition of the Lhakhang, the Rinpoche advised them to build a stable monastery
since there is no monastery nearby Naga area where devotees could go to offer
prayer. Presently, a bigger Monastery is being built and is yet to be
completed. |
