On Jan. 31, 2012, Mindroling Monastery, one of the three main seats for Nyingma School held a thanks gathering for a govenment funded donation of televisions and satellite earth antennas.
Doto, vice chairman of the region attended the ceremony and visited monk's dorms personally on the site.
Seated in southeast Tibet's Shannan (Lhoka) Prefecture, Mindroling monastery is particularly known for our study of Tibetan medicine, language, religion, astronomy and calendar.
"Mindroling" in Tibetan means "Place of Perfect Emancipation". Historically, the 'Mindroling Monastery' was once a center for Tibetan studies. The first Tibetan 'Sanskrit' records were compiled at this very place in the 18th century.
The Mindroling Monastery is also the place where the Tibetan incense first originated from. Ever since being invented by a Mindroling monk, the ingredients of incense have remained a secret.
