Location and Layout

This small monastery, located northeast of Sera between Keutsang West (Keutsang Nup) and Purchok Hermitages (Purchok Ritrö), today lies in ruins. It takes over an hour to walk to the site from Sera, but only about twenty minutes from Keutsang West.

Little remains of Keutsang East (Keutsang Shar). The ruins can just barely be seen on the mountainside in the center of this picture.

History

Before 1959, the hermitage belonged to Purchok Hermitage. There are two conflicting reports concerning the founder of the hermitage. One contemporary Tibetan historian identifies the founder as the first Purchok incarnation Ngawang Jampa (Purchok Kutreng Dangpo Ngawang Jampa),1 the cofounder of Purchok Hermitage. Another Tibetan scholar identifies the founder as Keutsang Jamyang Losel.2

Like all of Sera’s hermitages, this one had an assembly hall and monks’ quarters, and was home to about ten permanent monk residents. It was renowned for having a particularly holy statue of Avalokiteśvara. Like the Maitreya (Jampa) statue at Keutsang West, this Avalokiteśvara was supposed to emit rays of light to guide to the pure land the minds of deceased persons brought to the funeral grounds located at the base of the mountain.

Apart from these few details, we know nothing about this hermitage or its history at the present time. The monks of Purchok tell us that they have chosen not to rebuild Keutsang East for fear that this will siphon off resources from the rebuilding of Purchok Hermitage, the restoration of which they see as their primary responsibility.

Notes
[1] Dge bshes ye shes dbang phyug, Sermé Tösam Norling Dratsanggi Chöjung Logyü Norbü Trengwa [A History of the Sermé Tösam Norling College: A Garland of Jewels] (Bylakuppe: Ser smad par khang, nd), 42.
[2] Dungkar Lozang Trinlé, Dungkar Tsikdzö Chenmo [The Great Dungkar Dictionary] (Krung go’i bod rig pa dpe skrun khang, 2002), 93. It is unclear whether this is an alternative name of one of the Keutsang Lamas, or whether the figure got his name from the fact that he was a monk of the Keutsang West monastery.
