Brief History of Sacred site Serpang aka Phogteng.

Serpang/Phogteng

It was first blessed by Lam Choying Rangdrol (the founder of Goenpakarpo) as meditation cave and after attending realization at this place, he has left with foot print and hat as relics in this meditation cave. There are three rocks pilling on top of the each other which indicates Zangdogpelri (the copper colored Heaven). It is located about 15 minutes’ walk from Khoma Village near Khoma School and now it has been left with ruins without much visitors as well as no meditator in this cave. After the blessing of Lam Choeying Randrol, many masters has meditated at this place including Yangma Meme Lama (one of the famous Longchen Nyingthig Master of Kuetoe valley).

Lam Choying Rangdrol (chos dbyings rang drol) was known as treasure revealer of Nyalamdung (nya lam gdung) and the descendant of guru choewang. Choying Rangdrol is incarnation of one of the main deciple of Zhabkar tsodru Rangdrol and he studied under Drubtob Nangdze (grub thob snag mdzad) at Khenpajong (mkhan pa ljongs) before becoming a disciple of Jigme Droden Dorje (the third Petseling truelku). After completing his education, Choying Rangdrol established Gonpa Karpo (dgon pa dkar po) at Lhuntse by following the prophecy of his past life’s root lama. Hence, the monastery was also known as Kabab Gonpa (bka''bab dgon pa) since it was built by the command of his root lama. More details of his biography will be explain in next post.
