'''Tso Pema Orgyen Heruka Nyingmapa Gompa''' aka '''Tso Pema Nyingmapa Gompa''' is a retreat center founded by [[Dudjom Rinpoche]] on the banks of [[Tso Pema]] lake, a sacred site of [[Guru Rinpoche]] in the northern state of Rewalsar, in India.

==Origins==
Tso Pema Nyingmapa Gompa is the oldest of Tso Pema’s monasteries, where there is also a large [[Drikung Kagyü]] monastery, and is dedicated to the [[Dudjom Tersar]] lineage.

==Developments==
In the 1960s, [[Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche]] and Wangdor Rinpoche were in Tso Pema together. It is said that [[Wangdor Rinpoche]] meditated in the caves of Tso Pema for 30 years. In solitary retreat during the early years, he was joined over time by more than fifty cave-dwelling [[yogin]]s and yoginis who look to him for guidance and support. 

Wangdor Rinpoche helped Dudjom Rinpoche  build the monastery, and later created a retreat center on the mountain.

==Recent Years==
