Samling Gompa

Sacred Lookout Above Bhijer Village

Perched majestically high above the picturesque Bhijer Village, Samling Gompa stands proudly as one of Dolpo's most spiritually significant and historically important Bon institutions, having been founded over eight centuries ago by the great and revered Dzogchen master Tangton Gyaltzen Rinchen. For countless generations, this remarkable monastery has served as a vital center of profound learning in the sacred arts of Sutra, Tantra, and the highest teachings of Dzogchen, drawing devoted seekers and accomplished practitioners from across the vast Himalayan region who come to study under its learned masters. Inside this ancient sanctuary, visitors can discover an extraordinary treasure house of spiritual artifacts including precious ancient thangkas, weathered murals that tell stories of enlightened beings, sacred relics blessed by generations of masters, and a particularly striking statue of Guru Rinpoche that radiates profound spiritual power. The monastery's dramatic elevated setting offers visitors sweeping, breathtaking views of the Himalayan landscape, making the entire spiritual journey to this sacred place as visually stunning and inspiring as the profound spiritual destination itself.
