Lawudo Gompa Lama Zopa Rinpoche Retreat Nepal

Nestling in the jade green Himalayan Mountains, amidst the juniper trees, mountain peaks and floating clouds is the most beautiful hermitage of Lawudo.

For disciples and students of Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche there are few places on this earth that hold as much significance and meaning as Lawudo. Situated high in the Himalayan mountains in the area known as Solu Khumbu, the Sherpa region of eastern Nepal, Lawudo nestles against the side of the mountain like a beacon for all who seek an authentic, blessed and naturally mystical place. Known as the Cave of Blissful Attainments, it is one of the many sacred places of this region. Discovered by the previous Lawudo Lama Kunsang Yeshe and empowered by the blessings of a life time of pure Dharma practice, it is the original home of the incomparably kind Guru Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Just seeing the place blesses and transforms the most hardened of hearts and minds to think only of Dharma in ones life. 

This extremely beautiful and fascinating region is considered to be a “hidden valley” or beyal, a special country blessed by Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). In fact, just above Lawudo is a large cliff known as the Dragkarma, or White Cliff, which is said to be the actual entrance to one of the secret valleys of Khumbu.

Lawudo offers anyone who sincerely wants to nourish and develop their mind in Dharma and meditation one of the most conducive and inspiring opportunities imaginable.

Lawudo Gompa is a Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat center in Nepal under the spiritual direction of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s previous incarnation, Lawudo Lama Kunzang Yeshe, also known as “the Lawudo Lama”, meditated in the blessed mountain cave at Lawudo, which is a central feature of this Tibetan Buddhist mountain meditation retreat center. It is Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s wish to rebuild the gompa at Lawudo. If you wish to contribute to Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s vision please visit the “Support” link. There are retreat cabins available for people to visit and meditate in benefiting from the blessings of this mountain retreat center. Travelers are also welcome to visit Lawudo Gompa and Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat center while in Nepal. Please visit the “Retreat” link for information.
