Kushalnagar: After being closed for over 700 days, the Namdroling Nyingmapa Monastery or the Golden Temple at Bylakuppe will open for visitors from Mar. 3. The Temple was shut ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began and it was out of bounds for visitors till now. In a communication yesterday, the Administrative Office of Namdroling Monastery has stated that since the infection rate is declining at a rapid pace with very little severity now, a decision has been taken to open the Golden Temple.
“All monks and nuns above the age of 15 in our monastery have received two doses of vaccination, while the old aged monastics and frontliners have received their booster shots as well. Keeping this positive progress in view and under the kind direction of the Two Tulkus, the Chief of Namdroling Monastery, and the Three Khenchens, the main gate of the monastery will open for the public starting from Mar. 3,” the communication read.
