When the temple is complete and more living accommodations are built, many of the monks of Thrangu Tashi Choling Monastery in Boudhanath, Kathmandu will move to Namo Buddha thereby making the monastery much less crowded. There will be a large monastic sangha that will be engaged in every aspect of monastic life, study, retreat, the daily prayers and work.
Many years ago, when Bhagwan was practicing the Behaviour of Boddhisattvas, he saw a hungry tigress on the verge of eating her cubs. He gave his body away to her compassionately. It is said that his hair, bones and so forth were made into a Stupa, the Stupa now known as NAMO BUDDHA. Previously, this place was said to be terribly dangerous and infested with tigers. Buddhists and Hindus commonly called it NAMO BUDDHA because uttering the name of Buddha rendered protection from their fear of tigers.
