Tarpa Ling is a monastery in the Nyang Valley in Tsang just south of Zhalu. Originally associated with the Chel (dpyal) lineage and was a seat of the Chel Sarmapa masters. It was formally founded by Tarpa Lotsāwa Nyima Gyeltsen in the fourteenth century, later becoming a Geluk institution in the mid seventeenth century. Buton Rinchen Drub studied Sanskrit poetry and grammar here for about four years with Tarpa Lotsāwa.
