Segyu Gaden Phodrang Monastery Dear friends, fellow devotees and visitors, In accordance with the prophecies previously made by Je Tsongkapa, Jetsun Sherab Sengge and his main disciple Dulzin Dulnagpa Palden Sangpo founded Se Gyu Gaden Phodrang Monastery in the year of Water Rat of Seventh Rabjung (1432 A.D). Today, this monastery is one of the most sacred and historic Buddhist monasteries. Ever

since its’ establishment, the monastery carries on the legacy of the Great Je Tsongkapas’ original teachings and the pure ta***ic practices. Likewise, it has also provided a strong foundation for Vajrayana teachings, such as the Guhyasamaja, Heruka, and Yamantaks. As the monastery flourished over the years, Jestun Sherab Sengge left for central Tibet and established Lower Ta***ic College. This way both Upper and Lower Ta***ic colleges originated from Sed Gyued Gaden Phodrang. The present abbot, Gen Jampa Chondu Lama, continues to uphold the monastery’s original mission of educating and exercising Je Tsongkapa’s teachings. However, many political and geographical setbacks have affected the current state of the monastery-, which is in dire financial need. Amongst many of its problems like the shortage of rooms for the monks, the monastery urgently needs to build a main prayer hall (Tsok-khang). As a result, Gen Jampa Chondu Lama on behalf of the entire monastery, humbly requests for your financial support. Your generous donations will help support the monastery as an essential offering and homage to our Great Je Tsongkapa. Sincerely, Se Gyu Gaden Phodrang Monastery ༈ ན་མོ་གུ་རུ་བཛྲ་དྷ་ར་ཡ། རྒྱལ་ཀུན་རང་གཟུགས་རྗེ་བཙུན་ཙོང་ཁ་པའི།།གསང་མཛོད་འཛིན་པ་ཤེས་རབ་སེངྒེ་དང་།།ཟུར་ཕུད་ལྔ་པ་འདུལ་བ་འཛིན་པ་ཅན།།ཡབ་སྲས་རྒྱུད་པའི་ཞབས་ཀྱི་པདྨོར་འདུད།།གསང་སྔགས་རིན་ཆེན་སྲད་བུར་ལེགས་རྒྱུས་པའི།།ཆེན་པོ་ལ་འོས་སྙན་རྒྱུད་རྒྱན་གྱི་མཛེས།།བསྟན་འཛིན་མཁས་མང་འདུས་སྡེའི་བསྟི་གནས་ཀྱི། །འབྱུང་ཚུལ་
