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
