It has been operating for six centuries, although at some point it became uninhabited. In 1985, an important impulse took place under the charge of Master Venerable Gelong Rinchen Tsering, who settled in it and with kindness and compassion shared his wisdom and his high knowledge in Buddhism, medicine and astrology with young people from the area, many of whom joined as monks.
In recent years the monastery has been renovated with the approval of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, and has become, at the wish of the head master, the responsibility of the lamas Geshe Jangchub Rinpoche, Lama Jampa and Geshe Lobsang Tendar, who are patrons of the Foundation and also resident teachers of the Madrid Center. The monastery is an associate center of the Compassion Garden Buddhist Foundation, which carries out development aid projects in the area through the monastery.
