Description

Rakhadrak Hermitage (Ra kha brag ri khrod) is located northeast of (and one ridge over from) Se ra. It takes about forty-five minutes to walk from Se ra to the hermitage (ri khrod). Ra kha brag is also just a ten-minute walk up the mountain from Keutsang Hermitage (Ke’u tshang ri khrod). Like Ke’u tshang, it is one of the hermitages on the “Sixth-Month Fourth-Day” (Drug pa tshe bzhi) pilgrimage circuit.

The site is divided into two parts. In the lower portion, one finds a compound, which is the site of the caves of Tsong kha pa (1357-1419), Rgyal tshab rje (1364-1432) and Mkhas grub rje (1385-1438). It is also the site of a small hut that belonged to Byams chen chos rje (1354-1435), the founder of Se ra, where the latter is said to have begun the tradition of the the Ganden Feast of the 25th (Dga’ ldan lnga mchod) commemoration of the death-date of Tsong kha pa. East of this compound, there is a small kitchen and a large building that before 1959 appears to have served as monastic living quarters.
