Bhutia Busty Monastery
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone! 🙏🙏🙏
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Bhutia Busty Monastery or Karmaa Dorjee Chyoling Monastery is a Buddhist Monastery located in Darjeeling, India. It belongs to the Red Sect of Buddhist Lamas.
History
Originally a branch of the Nyingma sect's Phodang Monastery in Sikkim, it was transferred to Darjeeling in 1879.
The original location was on the Observatory Hill. It was destroyed by a Gorkha invasion in the 19th century.
The Monastery was relocated to its present location in Bhutia Busty.
However, the Monastery in the new location was also destroyed by an earthquake in 1934.
The Chogyal of Sikkim helped rebuild it. The Monastery has a collection of old Buddhist scripts.
Ging-Lamahatta Goompa is another branch of this age-old Monastery funded by the Sikkim Government.
