Khamshe Dargye Ling is the monastic college of Dzongsar Monastery in Derge. It was established in 1918 by Zhenpen Chokyi Nangwa, under the encouragement of Khyentse Chokyi Lodro, and is famous for its ecumenical educational system. There are variant lists of the first nine abbots. Following Jackson, we take that of Lodro Puntsok to be correct.
