History:
It is reported by the Management Committee that for the first time a Committee
was set up under the name of ‘Tashi Sambaling Tamang Gonpa’ in the year
1967 A.D. with 16 number of members under the Leadership of
Late Lakpa Tshering Tamang. Their first task was to acquire a plot of
land for Gonpa construction.Fortunately one of the devotees called- ‘Kharka Bahadur Tamang’ of the
locality came forward and donated a piece of land for the monastery.
Unfortunately, this site was hit by a landslide.Thereafter the Committee
decided to shift the monastery to |
|
new and more stable land.
Accordingly in the
year 1985 a simple thatch roof monastery was erected periodical pujas
were started. Presently, with the contribution from the devotees, it became a
well established monastery in the area catering to the religious needs of the
local Tamang Buddhist community. |
