Ngagyur Ri Gonpa Tashi Choling is the third seat of the glorious Ngagyur Ripa monastery. The first seat was established in 1830 by the second Ri Tulku, Lord of Accomplishment Pema Dejed Rolpa, the first in the Ripa hereditary lineage, at Yushung Nyima Phug in Riwoche district of Kham. The monastery maintained the tradition of profound teachings of Gyalwa Tagsham Orgyen Samten Lingpa. The Ripa Labrang produced six throne holders, four hereditary lineage holders, and four incarnation lineages. The second seat is Ngagyur Ri Gonpa Thubten Mindrol Ling in India, and the third seat is Ngagyur Ri Gonpa Tashi Choling in Yangleshod, Nepal. The third seat was established in 2000 by the fourth Ripa hereditary lineage holder Terton Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche and his son Gyetrul Jigme Norbu Rinpoche. Similarly, along with Nepal's Ngagyur Drubde Tashi Ngedon Chophel, they maintain, preserve and spread both the general sutra and tantra teachings passed down from the earlier Nyingma Vidyadharas, and particularly the profound treasure teachings of Gyalwa Tagsham, through both study and practice. Currently, there are 146 monks in residence.
