Inauguration of Khamgar Druk Dharmakara College
In his report, given in Tibetan, Khamtrul Rinpoché detailed how the first Khamapagar Monastery was established by the initial Khamtrul Rinpoché, with outposts in Dergé and other parts of Kham.
The Fifth Dalai Lama gave him his blessing, and later Dalai Lamas, including the Seventh, sent letters to the Khamtrul Rinpochés in recognition of their efforts to preserve the Dharma.
The 13th Dalai Lama also urged the Khamtrul Rinpoché of his time to keep up his service to the Dharma and all living beings.
The Fourth Khamtrul Rinpoché, Tenzin Chökyi Nyima, established an educational facility in Chamdo called Chilling Gön and invited a teacher from Namgyal Monastery to teach there.
The Eighth Khamtrul Rinpoché Dongyud Nyima then brought in scholars from Dzogchen and Kathog Monasteries to further instruct the monks at the center.
At Khampagar, a Sakya Khenpo Rinchen and other Khenpos from Tibet were invited to teach due to the increasing number of students. This led to the building of larger facilities and the founding of Khamgar Druk Dharmakara College.
Khamtrul Rinpoché declared that the Institute follows the Nalanda Tradition and has students from all over the Himalayan region.
