Oesel Choeling Monastery

Oesel Choeling Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in eastern Bhutan.

Oesel Choeling Monastery, also called Rangjung Yoesel Chholing, is a Nyingma Buddhist monastery in Rangjung village, Radhi gewog, on the left bank of the Gamri Chhu about 16 km east of Trashigang. Founded in 1989 by Dungse Garab Dorje Rinpoche, it began with monks and nuns living in simple bamboo huts; foreign sponsors funded most construction from 1993.

Oesel Choeling Monastery was founded in 1989 by Dungse Garab Dorje Rinpoche with a small group of monks and nuns, to provide a base for studying the Dudjom New Treasure lineage. Early construction ran into financial trouble, so the community lived in simple bamboo huts. In 1993 Rinpoche brought in foreign sponsors and completed most of the buildings.

The monastery belongs to the Nyingma school and follows the Dudjom New Treasure lineage, the teaching tradition it was founded to house. Monks and nuns live and study on site; the community grew so quickly after 1993 that Rinpoche had to limit admissions because dormitories, teachers and classrooms were short.

Visitors should wear long sleeves and pants out of respect and be prepared to remove shoes before entering temple halls. It is important to move quietly through the complex, as meditation sessions take place regularly and silence must be maintained.

The monastery follows the Dudjom New Treasure lineage of the Nyingma school, and its founding aim was to create a favourable refuge for studying that tradition. In its early years monks and nuns lived in simple bamboo huts for lack of funds; foreign sponsors helped complete most of the buildings in 1993.
