The '''Namdroling Nyingmapa Monastery''' (or '''Thegchog Namdrol Shedrub Dargye Ling''')(བོད་ཡིག '''ཐེག་མཆོག་རྣམ་གྲོལ་བཤད་སྒྲུབ་དར་རྒྱས་གླིང་།''') ([[Wylie transliteration|Wylie]]: ''theg mchog rnam grol bshad sgrub dar rgyas gling'') is the largest teaching center of the [[Nyingma]] lineage of [[Tibetan Buddhism]] in the world. Located in [[Bylakuppe]], part of the [[Mysuru district]] of the state of [[Karnataka]], the monastery is home to a [[Sangha (Buddhism)|sangha]] community of over five thousand [[lama]]s (both [[monk]]s and [[nun]]s), a junior high school named Yeshe Wodsal Sherab Raldri Ling, a religious college (or [[shedra]] for both monks and nuns) and hospital.

== History ==
The monastery was established by the 11th throneholder of the Palyul lineage, [[Drubwang Padma Norbu Rinpoche]] in 1963, following his 1959 exit from Tibet as the second seat of the [[Palyul| 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 "Namdrolling or Namdroling" for short. Its initial structure was a [[temple]] constructed from [[bamboo]], covering an area of approximately {{convert|80|ft2}}. It is carved into the jungle that the Indian government granted to Tibetan exiles. The initial challenges included rampaging elephants and other tropical dangers.
