Being a devout Buddhist and direct descendant of Khandroma (Dakini) Tashi Wangmo, I and my family have set out a goal of rebuilding the Gomdralo Monastery built by the Khandroma in homage to the Drukpa Kagyud Saint Phajo Drugom Zhigpo. The Monastery was built on the cliff, Gom Drak which is one of the 12 major meditation places of Phajo. It is said that while Phajo was meditating in Taktshang (Tiger’s Nest), Guru Rinpoche appeared in his vision and instructed him to meditate in 12 strategic places in Bhutan. This was supposed to help spread Drukpa Kagyud Buddhism in Bhutan.
