Nyidrak Monastery or Ngagyur Zabsang Chokhor Ling was established in 2009 by Gyaton Shartrul Damcho Gyatso in Bir Dege settlement in Himachal Pradesh, northern India. On April 28, 2014, His Holiness the Dalai Lama graciously performed the inauguration ceremony. The three-story temple has a double-layered Chinese-style roof. Under the central dome are the treasure teachings of the great Vidyadhara Nyima Drakpa and the Lama Guhyasamaja mandala. The main shrine on the lower floor features a two-story high Medicine Buddha statue surrounded by the twelve deeds, with four-armed Avalokiteshvara surrounded by the eight close sons on the right, and Guru Nangsi Zilnon surrounded by the eight manifestations of Guru Rinpoche on the left. The monastery also houses many thangkas including those of the Seventeen Panditas and Siddhas, the great Nyingma master Kunkhyen Longchenpa, and the Chakri lineage masters. The third floor contains His Holiness the Dalai Lama's residence. The monastery is beautifully adorned both inside and out. Currently, there are 77 monks and 1 nun.
