The History of Zangdok Palri Nepal

"Wondrous, endowed with qualities, glorious mountain! Higher even than Mount Sumeru, king of mountains! Lofty and vast, beautiful like a lotus in form! Beautiful realm, perfectly arranged Three-Kaya pure land! Going to that land, the three doors purified of obscurations, the Three Kayas manifest in this very life - a la la!"

[Zangdok Palri Verse of praise by Ven Gelong Kalsang Rinpoche]
