And also the only Yerpa Kagyul tradition exist in Tibet. The mountain top monastery sits at 4300 meters and is surrounded by jagged peaks that are snow-capped for most time of the year. It was founded by Yelpa Yeshe Tsek, a major disciple of the Kagyu master Pakmodrupa, in 1068 in Nangchen, Kham. Yelpa Yeshe Tsek converted an existing Bon monastery. A stūpa there is said to contain Pakmodrupa’s relics. It is currently a branch monastery of Tsurpu, the seat of the Karma Kagyu tradition.
Thr Gesar Lhakhang chapel at Jang Tana contained consecrated relics attributed to King Gesar of Ling and his retinue, which were lost during the Cultural Revolution. These included two swords, the Tapa Lenme sword of Gesar himself and Yasi Karten of his brother Gyatsa. These were kept sealed in a box that could only be jointly opened by the Nangchen king and the Tana Abbot.
