Named
after the great Nyingma saint Longchenpa's
favourite retreat centre and final resting place, Orgyan Osal Cho Dzong
is a 200 acre centre for the study and practice of Nyingma Dharma. Located
in southeastern Ontario near the town of Madoc, the centre is situated
in the midst of an extensive forest at the foot of Mount Moriah. The
centre's facilities include a large temple, 15 room ret reat
house and a Lama house. Orgyan Dzong was founded by Ven.
Peling Tulku, Rinpoche in 1984 and blessed by His
Holiness Penor Rinpoche during the transmission of the Long Chen
Nying Thig in 1988. The centre is renowned for its natural beauty and
an energy which is extremely conducive to Dharma practice.
Map
and complete instructions on how to get to the monastery are available
upon request.
We are located in
an isolated forest region, so that we ask that people respect the native
flora and fauna. The 5 mile dirt road to the monastery from Cooper is
single lane with many blind corners and steep hills. For your own safety,
as well as that of the many frogs, snakes (all harmless) and mammals that
also use the road, we ask that you go not faster than 30km/20mph.
