Question asked by Dechen Drolma
Lamala, I want to make a pilgrimage to the “Tiger’s Nest” in Bhutan in 2020. Can you tell which month Gure Padmasambhava’s mediations cave is open? You want to lead an expedition? It will take me a year to get in shape to climb such altitudes. The number one rule in Zombieland? CARDIO!! Thank you for your AMAZING website. 🙂

Dear Dechen Drolma,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche entered clear light last year if you are not aware. The Pastors, who have been trained by Rinpoche, answer this section of the website.
I am very glad to read that you want to go on pilgrimage to such a holy site! It will be very good for you, and you should make many aspirational prayers and offerings there. You should watch this video by Rinpoche in which he explains the significance of going on pilgrimage and what we should do: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/why-visit-holy-pilgrimages.html. I hope this video helps.
As to which meditation cave is open, I would not be able to help you with that. For that you would need to contact the Bhutanese authorities in charge of administration for the Tiger’s Nest area.
I’m glad that you like this website. Rinpoche spent many many years, and much of his entire day dedicated to making this website what it is, with a wealth of information for people to learn from and be inspired for their spiritual journeys.
