'''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==
