Gaden Shartse Thubten Dhargye Ling ("Land of Flourishing Dharma") is a center for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism. GSTDL was founded in 1978 by Geshe Tsultim Gyeltsen, and at that time named Thubten Dhargye Ling. Over the years, Geshe Gyeltsen invited many eminent masters to teach at the center, including Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and H.E. Thubten Dhargye Ling has also hosted the following v

In 1984, His Holiness taught Lama Tsong Khapa's "The Three Principle Aspects of the Path" and gave an Avalokiteshvara initiation. In 1989 His Holiness taught Togme Zangpo's "Thirty-seven Practices of a Bodhisattva" and conferred the Kalachakra initiation. In 1997, he gave a commentary on Nagarjuna's "Precious Garland" and a Shakyamuni Buddha initiation. In 2000, he taught Atisha's "Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" and Lama Tsong Khapa's "Line of Experience" together. In 2006, His Holiness taught Nagarjuna's "Commentary on the Awakening Mind."
