Surmang Monastery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surmang Monastery (Tibetan: ཟུར་མང་; Wylie: Zur-mang) consists of a complex of nine Kagyupa monasteries founded about 600 years ago in Kham, eastern Tibet. It is the seat of the Trungpa tulkus, the line of incarnate lamas that heads Surmang. The present head of the Surmang monasteries is Choseng Trungpa Rinpoche, the XII Trungpa Tulku.
