Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling

Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery near Boudhanath, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal. It has ties to both the Kagyu and Nyingma schools, hence the combined name Ka-Nying.The Sixteenth Karmapa instructed Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche to found a monastery in Nepal. Tulku Urgyen obeyed, taking his wife Kunsang Dechen and two sons, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche and Chokling Rinpoche. Construction began in 1972, and the monastery was dedicated in 1976. HM King Birendra attended. Tulku Urgyen died on February 13, 1996, whereupon his son Chokyi Nyima succeeded him as abbot (his brother becoming "vajra master").Today the monastery boasts about 180 monks, and 108 nuns at an affiliated nunnery, Nagi Gompa (located some distance away).
