Our Gonpa (center) was established in 1994 by Lama Thupten Dorje Gyaltsen (Jerry Gardner) under the guidance and blessings of the late Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Tsoknyi Rinpoche. Urgyen Samten Ling means "Guru Rinpoche's Place of Meditation." Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is recognized as the second Buddha of our time.

Jonang Foundation was conceived in the summer of 2004 in the Golok region of Amdo, Tibet (Qinghai Province, China) by Michael Sheehy and Cynthia Williams. Over the course of several conversations with Khenpo Kunga Sherab Saljay Rinpoche and several other prominent Jonangpa lamas in the Golok and Dzamthang areas, it became apparent that there was need for an organization to help facilitate the emergence of the Jonang tradition into the world beyond the cultural parameters of Tibet.
Restaurants in Lhasa serve the best food and accommodation in Tibet. The food includes Tibetan cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and western style dishes. Some hotel restaurants even provide Nepalese and Indian food. It's worth noting that Sichuan dishes in Tibet are more expensive than in other parts of China. Tourist restaurants also serve delicacies and almost every hotel has western food. Most of the restaurants can be found clustered around the Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street, the center of Lhasa City, so that travelers can find places to eat and drink within easy reach.
Tibet — the mystical roof of the world, peopled with enlightened monks? Only one of them wouldn't toe the line: Gendun Choephel, the errant monk who left the monastic life in 1934 in search of a new challenge. A free spirit and multifaceted individual, he was far ahead of his time and has since become a seminal figure, a symbol of hope for a free Tibet. A rebel and voluble critic of the establishment, Gendun Choephel kindled the anger of the Tibetan authorities. Tel & fax: +41 44 240 45 42
