Trugo
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone! 🙏🙏🙏
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Rebuilt in 1984, the Trugo is probably the most important of the eight Manasarovar monasteries. Its name means the Head-washing South Gate Monastery, and at this site Hindus come to perform ablutions by completely dunking themselves in the frigid water of the lake. Most Tibetan pilgrims, however, only splash their heads or drink the water, before they continue on the circuit or head to Mt. Kailash. It is located right near the shore of Manasarovar and offers good views of the lake and Mt. Kailash beyond. The monastery's principal image is Dorje Chang, which is the primordial Buddha of the Kagyupa and the tantric manifestation of Sakyamuni. Trugo was originally a branch of the now ruined Simbiling Monastery near Purang along with Gossul Monastery.
