  • Mindroling (smin grol gling) was founded in 1670, by Terdak Lingpa and is one the six principal Nyingma monasteries in Tibet. The throne of Mindroling is traditionally held by successive descendants of Terdak Lingpa. The Jetsunmas are his female descendants, who have always played an important role in the preservation of the teachings. Many of them have been remarkable teachers themselves. [MR-ShabkarNotes]
