Orgyen Ling

Orgyen Samye Chokhor Ling is the first Buddhist nunnery at historic Deer Park in Sarnath. Its four acres of land are peppered with fruit trees and flowers, and it is a short walk from the monastery. Opened in March 2003, it reflects the Venerable Khenpo Rinpoche’s commitment to provide equal educational opportunities for both women and men. At present, there is a two-story house and a new wing. This wing includes a shrine room, library, reading and study rooms, as well as better facilities for both the nuns and visitors.
