Gaden Damcholing Monastery is a new Dorje Shugden monastery in Markham, Tibet that is open and accessible to the public at large. 16 December 2014 marked the inauguration of this monastery, which provides a home for over 200 Buddhist monks. Over 10,000 Dorje Shugden practitioners from Markham and various parts of Tibet attended this grand event which consisted of auspicious pujas and public performances to celebrate the people of Markham gaining a new monastery.
Gaden Damcholing Monastery was built and offered to His Eminence Dagor Rinpoche through the kindness and generosity of loyal Dorje Shugden practitioners and sponsors, and is a testament to their strong faith in the Protector. It is hoped that the devoted monks of Gaden Dhamcholing Monastery will continue to uphold the pure lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa with unwavering faith in the Three Jewels and that Dagor Rinpoche swiftly fulfils the prayers of his previous lives and arises as an erudite master once again to benefit sentient beings.

Posted on August 30, 2016 #1 AuthorIt a happy occasion to see a new monastery propitiating Dharma protector, Dorje Shugden, Gaden Damcholing Monastery in Markham in 2014. and, it was offered to His Eminence Dagor Rinpoche.
This does not look like a small monastery as it started out with 200 monks. And, the building itself is not small but rather it is huge and beautiful. This offering by the sponsors and practitioners shows their faith, devotion and commitment.
May the monastery spread the pure teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa to the 10 directions to benefit ,many.
