History
There were many instances of the reincarnations of Drubchen Saraha being reborn in Tibet and out of the many reincarnations; one of them was Togden Shakya Shri. He had many disciples and out of them, nine were considered very learned. Among these nine learned disciples, Anim Woesel Choden turned out to be the most learned of them. She had dedicated her life to lifelong meditation. In 1958, she built this Jashar Woong Drubdey. She had about 15 to 25 disciples.
She was born in 1921 and lived until 1982. After her death, the house that Anim Woesel Choden and her disciples lived was not taken good care and as such, it had dilapidated.
The community, lay monks and Anims appealed to the H.E Gyeltshen Trulku to renovate and manage the Goenpa. As requested by the people, H.E. Gyeltshen Trulku took over the management and started building a monastery, which comprised a common place for meditation, a guest house and other facilities. Since then there has been about 40-55 people studying and living there all the time. However, the construction is not complete yet and funds are still required to paint frescoes on the walls of the temple and commission the making of life-size statues of Buddha Amitabha, Avaloketishvara and Guru Dewa.
It is said that Anim Jitsunma Yodsel Choden was meditating and built this Jashar Goenpa. After her death, the house that Anim Yodsel Choden and her disciples lived in, was not taken care of and as such had gone to ruin.
