The Rinpoche had acquired a huge piece of land at Pharping, one of Nepal's most holy places. The Rinpoche intended the land to be the future international headquarters of Kathok Nyingma centres all over the world and collaborating with the main Kathok Monastery in Tibet, to be known as the Western Kathok Monastery.

Chadral Rinpoche officially invited H.H. Lhoga Rinpoche to be the headquarter's Chief Abbot and to guide all construction operations as well as to oversee all the activities of spreading the holly Teachings of Lord Buddha. This would become the greatest of holy places for dharma practitioners everywhere and the focal point where the Kathok Nyingmapas will spread forth in the world.

King of Sacred Land - Kathok Monastery

The great master Vairocana (see below) stayed at Kathok for a whole month while he was at Gyarong. The first lineage master of Kathok, Tampa Deshe, too, practised at Kathok in a cave known as Tampo.

To the left of Kathok Monastery is a place known as Kunpo. It is regarded as a place of 100,000 Buddhas. At Kunpo, the accomplished master Vairocana constructed a stupa. This stupa is thought to be effective in subduing a demoness. It is considered by ancient geomancy masters to be similar to Tibet's own land-shape. In addition, Kunpo is also the reliquary of many lineage masters.
