Drepung
Loseling Tibetan Monastery Incense
|
Drepung
Monastery was established near Lhasa, Tibet
in 1416 by Chojey Tashi Palden. It had four
departments, of which Loseling, or "The Hermitage of the Radiant Mind," was
the largest, housing more than three quarters
of Drepung's ten to fifteen thousand monks.
Drepung Loseling was especially close to
the Dalai Lama incarnations; the Second Dalai
Lama made his residence here in 1494, and
subsequent incarnations maintained this link. |

After
the Chinese Communist invasion of Tibet in 1959
and the forced closure and destruction of its
6,500 monasteries, some 250 monks
from Loseling managed to escape the holocaust and
rebuild their institution in Karnataka State, South
India. The
traditional training program was thus preserved.
Over the years many more young spiritual aspirants
have fled Chinese-occupied Tibet and sought entrance
into the monastery, thus helping to preserve their
traditional culture. With the Dalai Lama's blessings
the monastery was re-established in South India
in 1971. The number of monks presently in the re-established
Drepung Loseling has increased to more than 2,500.

The
elders of the monastic community support the young
students of the monastery through the small
farm attached to the monastery, as well as
through a number of small cottage industries.
These include their own incense-manufacturing
project.
We
offer to you here, the incense of the Drepung
Loseling Monastery.
