Kumbum Monastery (Tibetan: སྐུ་འབུམ་བྱམས་པ་གླིང་, THL Kumbum Jampa Ling),[1] also called Ta'er Temple, is a Tibetan gompa in Lusar, Huangzhong County, Xining, Qinghai, China. It was founded in 1583 at the site of Je Tsongkhapa's birth in a narrow valley close to the village of Lusar in the historical Tibetan region of Amdo.[2] Its superior monastery is Drepung Monastery, immediately to the west of Lhasa.[3] It is ranked in importance as second only to Lhasa.[2]

On December 1, 2023, Professor S. Niggol Seo revealed that, in his own words, “I am Lama Tsongkhapa reborn after six hundred years of utter peace” through his book entitled Buddha, Wisdom and Economics. [4] In his second revelation on June 1, 2024, he explained “the eleven unimaginable meetings during the seven-year period from 2017 to 2023” with Lama Tsongkhapa through his book entitled Protecting Nature with Buddha’s Wisdom. [5] In the third revelation on December 1, 2024, he revealed the “personal transmissions” only through which he was able to “return to the profundity and perfection of Lama Tsongkhapa, who is renowned as Vajradhara Buddha” through his new book entitled Singularities of Science Elucidated with Buddhist Thoughts.
