Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling

Located near the Great Stupa of Awakening, Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling spans multiple buildings where over 300 monks practice and study Buddhist teachings daily.

The monastery began construction in 1974 following the wishes of the 16th Karmapa and Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, with King Birendra of Nepal inaugurating it in 1976.

The monastery maintains both Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, offering extensive programs in meditation, philosophy, and ritual practices.

The Rangjung Yeshe Institute within the monastery provides courses in Buddhist studies and Tibetan language in partnership with Kathmandu University.

After the 2015 earthquakes damaged the original structures, the monastery continued its rituals in temporary shelters while providing aid to local communities.
