The Umteng Tsho Lake is located
two day’s walking north of Busa
Wangdue Goenpa Monastery. With
these treasures, Dorji Lingpa arrived
on the hill where the current
monastery is located, meditated and
prophesized that in future his Heart
Son would establish a monastery at
this location.

Subsequently, in the seventeen
(17th) century, the Heart Son of
Dorji Lingpa Thuksay Tshungmed
Tashi Tenzin came and laid the
foundation of the monastery. The same Golden Dragger revealed by Dorji Lingpa, which
was in his possession, was used to consecrate the ground.

This was also the start of the Busa Trulku Lineage at Busa Wangdue Goenpa Dorji Lingpa
Monastery.

3.5 Busa Trulku Lineage at Busa Wangdue Goenpa Dorji Lingpa Monastery

1. First Abbot - Tshungmed Tashi Tenzin, the Heart Son of Dorji Lingpa

Tshungmed Tashi Tenzin was born in the 16th century in Dangchu in 1586 as the Heart
Son of Dorji Lingpa. He started his Buddhist education at the age of seven and mastered
all traditions of Buddhism. As directed by his master,
Ngawang Tsulthrim Rinpoche, and based on a vision,
Tshungmed Tashi Tenzin went around Sephu
Wangdue Goenpa looking for a suitable location for
the establishment of a monastery. First, he chose a
place known as Langbi and then Zargang at Busa.
However, the guardian deity Mahaka, who appeared
before him in the form of a raven, warned that the
places were not suitable for the monastery. Upon
reaching the present site, the raven vanished and he
knew that was the right place for him to establish the
Monastery. Thus, he settled there and named the
Monastery as Busa Wangdue Goenpa. There was
scarcity of water in the place and he revealed blessed
water at three different locations known as Zarchu
Poto, Jabna Hoka and Jangkho wog which have different medicinal values for different
illnesses. He had Drubthob Ugyen Dorji and many others as his disciples. Before he passed
away, he entrusted his brother Drubthob Ugyen Dorji to take his lineage forward.
