The Treasury of Lives

This 20th century painting depicts Padmasambhava in wrathful form as Guru Dragpo, in the treasure tradition of Padmasambhava biographer Nyangrel Nyima Ozer.

Guru Pema Evam Chokgar was a tantric community north of the Brahmaputra river established by Tashi Tobgyel in the late 16th century. The community maintained the Jangter (Northern Treasures) tradition. Later the location was developed and expanded by his Tashi Tobgyel's son the Third Dorje Drak Rigdzin, Ngakgi Wangpo into Dorje Drak monastery, which became the main center for the Jangter tradition and at one point had over fifty branch monasteries.

Guru Lhakhang in Lhodrak was founded by the First Peling Sungtrul, Tendzin Drakpa, and is the seat of the Peling Sungtrul line, the incarnation line of treasure revealer Pema Lingpa.

Layak Guru Lhakhang, known also as Samdrub Dewachenpo, is a temple located in the Lhodrak region of southern Tibet. It was founded in the thirteenth century by Guru Chowang, who revealed many treasures at the site. It was apparantly modeled after Nalanda monastery of India. It was damaged during the cultural revolution and has undergone reconstruction since, although part of the complex is now a private residence. 

Wenne Gurulung was a hermitage associated with Riwoche Monastery in Kham. It was in existence by the early twentieth century, when Gara Lama Sonam Rabten spent time there.
