A Brief History of Kyodrak Monastery
Kyodrak Monastery
A brief history of Kyodrak Monastery, the principal seat of the Barom Kagyu in Dokham and residence of the successive incarnations of Tsoknyi Öser. The narrative includes the monastery’s legendary founding in 1361, when a primordial wisdom ḍākinī—appearing as a fox that stole the master’s shoes—revealed the sacred site where the monastery would be built.
