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.
