Khachoed Pema Woeling

Khachoed Pema Woeling Buddhist Tsungon (Nunnery) is in Sikkim - a small Indian State in the eastern Himalayas. Crowned by Mt. Khangchendzonga, the third highest peak in the world, Sikkim is often referred to as Beyul Demozong – the ‘hidden valley of rice’ prophesized by Guru Padmasambhava - the 8th Century Buddhist tantric master who is said to have traveled to Sikkim, Bhutan...
