Located in Bylakuppe, part of the Mysore district of the state of Karnataka, the monastery is home to a sangha community of over five thousand lamas (both monks and nuns), a religious college (or shedra) and hospital.
History
The monastery was established by throne-holder Kyabje Penor Rinpoche in 1963, following his 1959 exit from Tibet as the second seat of the Palyul Monastery, one of the six great Nyingmapa Mother monasteries of Tibet prior to annexation.
The monastery's full name is Thegchog Namdrol Shedrub Dargyeling, called "Namdroling" for short. Its initial structure was a temple constructed from bamboo, covering an area of approximately 80 square feet (7.4 m2). Carved from the jungle that the India government generously granted Tibetan exiles, initial challenges included rampaging elephants and other tropical dangers.
Buildings - Timeline
- On February 17, 1978, the Buddhist College ("Shedra") was constructed and completed.
- A new temple, the "Padmasambhava Buddhist Vihara" (known by locals as the "Golden Temple") was inaugurated on September 24, 1999. The temple has space for several thousand monks.
- November 27, 1993, the Tsogyal Shedrup Dargyeling Nunnery was established.
- In 2004 a temple to the main Nyingma (old school) Buddha, Guru Rinpoche was built and inaugurated on December 13 of that year.
As of 2008, the lodging facilities alone for the school include three buildings with over 150 rooms. The population fluctuates as monks attend or complete studies at Namdroling. A recent census had the population in excess of 4,000 monks and 800 nuns.
Ceremonies
Namdroling Monastery hosts several ceremonies yearly. Of particular interest is Tibetan New Year (Losar), based on the Lunar Calendar; dates are not static but usually occurring in the months of February or March.

Following is an excerpt from The Story of the Great Flood and Cyclone Disasters, edited by Thomas H. Russell and published by Thomas H. Morrison in 1913. Chapter XXII, entitled “In the Storm’s Path”, describes the path of the tornado as it moved from #Omaha, #Nebraska into Iowa:In crossing Sherman Avenue the path extended from Binney street on the south to Emmet street on the north, and scarcely anything was left intact. Striking over the bluffs into the railroad yards, the #tornado devastated the Missouri Pacific roundhouse wrecked its fury on the rolling stock and then seethed across#CarterLake and the
#EastOmaha bottoms.
A terrible, but beautiful spectacle accompanied the crossing of the lake, when the twister sucked the water high into the air, a real
#waterspout. The cottages along the lake were mostly destroyed the Illinois Central trestle obliterated and scores of store buildings wrecked. At this point the width of the path is said to have been nearly half a mile wide.
Crossing the #Missouririver, the #twister struck the bluffs and seemed to turn southward. That this was the case is evident from the damage done in the city of#CouncilBluffs, which reports that the storm came from the north.
At the same time another outrider of the main body of the tornado was crossing the river in #Sarpycounty, hitting up the #Mosquitocreek through #lakeManawa and the scattering residences and farms thereabouts. Another waterspout was noted on#Manawa. This comparatively small twister disappeared after this work of destruction.
Other twisters were reported all up and down the #Missouririver and #Platterivervalleys, indicating the scope of the cyclonic conditions.

Longville Minnesota
Longville Cass County, Minnesota, United States. The city was named after its founder Jim Long. The town is roughly 4 hours north of the Twin Cities. . Longville is a popular summer tourist destination and services the many cabins on the nearby lakes of Long Lake and the much larger Woman Lake.
The area was inhabited for thousands of years by succeeding cultures of Indians. Before European settlement, the Ojibwa moved into the area from the Great Lakes, pushing out the historic Dakota peoples, such as the Assiniboine and Hidatsa. European American settlers followed the early fur traders and trappers, and encroached on Native American territories.
Longville started around 1906 as a logging town in what is now Cass County. Fishing was very popular in early Longville, and this form of recreation is still highly prevalent today. Tourism later grew as a service industry. In the twentieth century, people from urban areas came to more rural areas for recreation associated with lakes, fishing, hunting and water sports. All of the roads in and around Longville were dirt before the 1920s. Much of the downtown was rebuilt during the mid-20th century. Many of the cabins in the surrounding landscape were built in the late 1960s and 1970s. By the 1980s the Longville area was almost fully developed. The town changed little since 1990, keeping its quaint personality and not suffering from the over development plaguing other Cass County towns
Longville is home to many types of birds, including water fowl, forest birds, and even eagles. Nearby lakes, especially Long Lake, are home to many Common Loons, the state bird of Minnesota. Common Loons are a frequent site on Long Lake and have been for decades becoming part of the lake's identity. Bald Eagles also inhabit the region. They can be seeing flying above lakes such as Long Lake and dive bombing fish in the water. It is not uncommon to see a Bald Eagle fly over Long Lake with a fish in its talons.
Multiple small forest mammals make the Longville region home. Beavers can be found in the many marshes, streams, and ponds in the area. Racoons are known to tear apart cabin trash cans. Martens and fishers can also be found in the woods along with the much smaller and more common mink. Wolverines used to inhabit the forests but are now extinct in Minnesota, with the last sighting in 1920. In the 1800s mountain lions were fairly common in the area, but are now endangered in Minnesota. Conversely, White-tailed Deer are a common site in the woods and along the highway coming into town from the east from Lake Inguadona.
Timberwolves also inhabit the region, but they are difficult to spot given that they live mainly in dense forest and marsh areas.
Longville is "The Turtle Racing Capital of the World ". Every Wednesday through the summer, the town's main street is shut down for the turtle races and other attractions, such as food stands, games, and dance contests.

India
India lies within the Indomalaya ecozone and contains three biodiversity hotspots
One of 17 megadiverse countries, it hosts 8.6% of all mammalian, 13.7% of all avian, 7.9% of all reptilian, 6% of all amphibian, 12.2% of all piscine, and 6.0% of all flowering plant species. Endemism is high among plants, 33%, and among ecoregions such as the shola forests. Habitat ranges from the tropical rainforest of the Andaman Islands, Western Ghats, and North-East India to the coniferous forest of the Himalaya. Between these extremes lie the moist deciduous sal forest of eastern India; the dry deciduous teak forest of central and southern India; and the babul-dominated thorn forest of the central Deccan and western Gangetic plain.Under 12% of India's landmass bears thick jungle. The medicinal seem, widely used in rural Indian herbal remedies >>> aka Ayurveda
, is a key Indian tree. The luxuriant pipal fig tree, shown on the seals of Mohenjo-daro, shaded Gautama Buddha as he sought enlightenment.
Many Indian species descend from taxa originating in Gondwana, from which the Indian plate separated more than 105 million years before present. Peninsular India's subsequent movement towards and collision with the Laurasian landmass set off a mass exchange of species. Epochal volcanism and climatic changes 20 million years ago forced a mass extinction. Mammals then entered India from Asia through two zoogeographical passes flanking the rising Himalaya. Thus, while 45.8% of reptiles and 55.8% of amphibians are endemic, only 12.6% of mammals and 4.5% of birds are. Among them are the Nilgiri leaf monkey and Beddome's toad of the Western Ghats. India contains 172 IUCN-designated threatened animal species, or 2.9% of endangered forms These include the Asiatic lion, the Bengal tiger, and the Indian White-rumped Vulture, which, by ingesting the carrion of diclofenac-laced cattle, nearly went extinct.
The pervasive and ecologically devastating human encroachment of recent decades has critically endangered Indian wildlife. In response the system of national parks and protected areas, first established in 1935, was substantially expanded. In 1972, India enacted the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger to safeguard crucial wilderness; the Forest Conservation Act was enacted in 1980 and amendments added in 1988. India hosts more than five hundred wildlife sanctuaries and thirteen biosphere reserves, four of which are part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves; twenty-five wetlands are registered under the Ramsar Convention.

Zion National Park, Springdale, UT 84767, USA
There are an array of national parks across this country; some with history that reveals other cultures living long before present-day mankind cultures and people that remain the backbone and building blocks of who we are today. However, when the word ‘ancient’ is spoken where national parks are concerned, Zion National Park is the location that comes to mind first. It was back in 1919, that Zion became a National Park in Utah, and the area is literally stunning. From canyons to cliffs, the hiking opportunities are thrilling, offering the most spectacular views on the planet. The Narrows, Subway, and Angels Landing are locations well-known to lovers of adventure, and with almost 3 million people visiting Zion National Park each year, this is one area that cannot be outdone where thrills are concerned.
Zion National Park is literally a land crisscrossed by paths that ancient natives, as well as the original pioneers, traveled in order to settle the U.S. and begin a country that would eventually become the best of the best. It was nearly 12,000 years ago that mammoth, giant sloth and camel roamed southern Utah, with the first settlers following them into a majestic world of sandstone. The cliffs were large, high and frightening, and when the sun set on the cream and pink of the land, even the narrowest of canyons lit up with fire.
‘Enchanting’ is not enough to describe this world. The wilderness is both light and dark, drawing naturalists, environmentalists, photographers, sightseers, and more to its center. The history of humankind causing the mammoth to disappear from their overabundance of hunting is a learned mistake and something America strives to never do again to any species that call the U.S. home.
Learning to gather foods and farm for themselves, the people in the Zion are changed their lives. The culture that came into being believed in ranching and cultivation proving that the area could be the ‘place of peace and relaxation’ that is the actual definition of ‘Zion’.
It is an unforgettable experience when searching the skies above and witnessing the endangered California condor and peregrine falcons soar above, taking you back to a time where nature once ruled the kingdom that was created for them. And when hiking in Zion National Park, the Temple of Sinawava the route to Angels Landing produces thrills and chills in the soul. Long, steep, narrow ridges are traversed by the brave using support chains in the rock, offering the safest anchors along the journey. A slippery slope to say the least, it is also one that will be etched in your mind forever.
The beauty of this area also came into play for ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’; not the real daring duo, of course, but the movie that remains one of the most beloved in history was filmed near Zion in the ghost town of Grafton. Two of Hollywood’s greatest actors were framed by the beauty and power of Zion’s amazing backdrop.
Through the Narrows…to the Temple...the huge waterfall created by the North Fork…staring down breathless at the gorge from the canyon rim – these are lines that great writer’s use. Yet when it comes to Zion National Park, each and every one of these scenes are reality.
If wanting to keep both feet on the floor, scenic driving is also quite easy to do in this area. Zion Canyon Drive and Zion-Mount Carmel Highway run throughout the mighty canyon, bringing you (more safely) to some of the amazing tourist spots that everyone must witness before their time on earth is through.
The variety of elevations also provide an abundance of both plant and animal species living in the canyons, roaming the desert floors, and even resting on forested plateaus. It is obvious to anyone who visits that Zion National Park is a land that has seen everything from hardship to peace. But the strength of those awesome canyons and cliffs – the beauty of those waterfalls and structures created by both Man and Mother Nature – have proven to all visitors that Zion was built on strength and kept alive with the hope and faith of our earliest forefathers. This is the strength that has allowed it to thrive in 2014.
When speaking about protecting lands so that the next generation can enjoy them, there is no better example than Zion.
