Nuns form Dedrol Monastery near Nyelagar

Dedrol Gön (gdeng grol dgon/ gdeng sgrol dgon) is the small nunnery which was founded in front of Dedrol cave (gdeng grol phu), where Atha Lhamo lived. later she attained the Small Rainbow Body

Atha Lhamo (a tha lha mo) was the daughter of Rigdzin Changchub Dorje who attained the small rainbow body ('ja' lus 'pho ba chung ngu) in 1978 in Nyelagar, Kham Eastern Tibet. She was a great practitioner herself and practiced in a cave nearby the religious encampment of her father. As this cave was in the Dedrol area it what known as Dedrol phug (gdeng grol phug/ gdeng sgrol phug).

We are not shure about the spelling and the meaning of the first part of her name. Of corse lhamo means goddess or devi in Sanskrit. atha (a tha) is used synonymous for pa'i sha or the fathers flesh. Thus her name would be The Goddess of the Fathers Flesh.Dzogchen Khenpo Chöga Rinpoche reports that she attained the rainbow body as late as 1982 but according to Chögyal Namkhai Norbu it was in 1980 as he received three independent letters reporting it. This was proofed upon reports he heard when he first returned to Tibet in 1981.

Later, in front of the cave was built a small nunnery, where currently life 66 nuns.The monastery is supported by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche's NGO Asia.
