Shangri-La Monastery

Ganden Sumtseling Monastery,
Shangri-La, Tibet

The Sumtseling monastery, of the Gelug order of Tibetan Buddhism, was established in 1679 by its 5th Dalai Lama, during the reign of the Qing dynasty Kangxi Emperor.

He patronized the monastery’s erection, and was involved in the protection & installation of the 7th Dalai Lama.

It is the largest Buddhist monastery in Yunnan, and is modeled after the Potola Palace in Lhasa.

With the monastery divided into houses, and each house supported by a group of villages, the institution truly resembles a microcosm of the community. Thus, ties between the surrounding communities and the monastery are strong:

SHIVA & SHAKTI,
different sides of the same coin.

SHIVA symbolizes consciousness, the masculine principle. SHAKTI symbolizes the feminine principle: activating power/energy.

Whenever a power becomes active, and wherever energy exists, Shakti is working.

The Kundalini Shakti, present in every human, empowers one’s allure towards spiritual enlightenment. In the dormant state the Kundalini Shakti is a tightly coiled and lies at the base of the spine, in the Muladhara region.

When the power is unleashed, Kundalini Shakti rises up the spine, and clears the blockages in the chakras that lie along the Sushumna nadi. To be precise, there are two other nadis, Ida and Pingala, that run on either side of the Sushumna.

Once the power reaches the crown, it helps one to become a part of the highest consciousness. This action leads to
all kinds of spiritual experiences.
