Brief Introduction to Muktinath

Posted by Anup Baral October 14, 2014 :


Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa is one of the most important pilgrimage sites of Nepal for both Buddhists and Hindus. It is a great example to our world of a sacred place shared in harmony by devotees of two world religions. The traditional caretakers of the sacred place are the nuns of the lineage of Lama Wangyal. Their international support is channeled via the MFI. For more information, please see our donation page. For other nunneries nearby, please see here. This page includes a link to a very nice movie about Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa and the nuns of the lineage of Shangpa Rinpoche.Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa is a sacred place for both Hindus and Tibetan Buddhists at 3750 meters (12,300 feet) at the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas of Nepal. It is a great example of how two religions can share the same holy spot with mutual respect and support.
