Denjong, The Perfect Mandala Of Ogyenling
Since the locations of Mangder, a hill behind the present day Silnon Goen སྲིན་གནོན་དགོན and the present day Neychen Thakar Tashiding གནས་ཆེན་ བྲག་དཀར་ བཀྲ་ཤིས་སྡིངས were identical in many ways, there was little confusion on the authenticity of locating the authentic Thakar Tashiding owing to this indistinguishable geographic characteristic of the two. So much so, even few religious structures including stupas, etc. were already established at Mangder by the monks and attendants of the Trulpai Naljoir ChoeJi སྤྲུལ་པོའི་རྣལ་འབྱོར་ མཆོག་བཞི
However, to assure explicit clarity, Lhatsuen ལྷ་བཙུན immediately went into trance. As good omen, two rainbows emersed from Khangchen Joenga གངས་ཆེན་མཛོད་ལྔ and Lharig Nyingphu ལྷ་རིགས་ སྙིང་ཕུག and converged at the present day Thakar Tashiding at the same time. Having fully convinced, Trulpai Naljoir Choeji dedicatedly went on in founding Neychen Thakar Tashiding as naval to all the sacred sites and abodes of Bayue Demojong འབྲས་ལྗོངས་ གནས་ཀྱི་ལྟེ་བ (གནས་ཆེན) in accordance to Mahaguru's predictions.
Subsequently, Lhatsuen based himself at Drakchung Jong བྲག་ཆུང་རྫོང near Pelling པད་གླིང for a while. During one of his various divinations here, Mahaguru instructed him to establish the Central Monastic Seat of Ogyenlingpa ཨོ་རྒྱན་གླིང་པ above the ridge, opposite to it. Early morning, with all the sacred instructions and visions in his conscience, he went up the hilltop but only to find a pond at the appointed site. Bit confused, he came back and sought further clarification. Mahaguru directed him to shift the pond somewhere beneath the hill.
Accordingly, he again went to the pond and collected few cups of water in a bamboo container and sprinkle it in two nearby locations of what subsequently emerged as present day ChoNam Cho at the very entrance of the Rabdentse and Dotom near Drakchung Jong, Pelling. Thus having dispelled all the external and internal obscurations by moving the lake, he paved way for founding of the Sangchen Pemayangtse གསང་ཆེན་པདྨ་ཡངས་རྩེ as the Central Sikkimese system - the Ogyenling.
Infact, Ogyenling was to be surrounded by four supreme formations of Doling, Rinling, Peling and Karling at the four cardinal directions of the Ogyenling (Pemayangtse). These four locations are now more prominently known as Doling Goen རྡོ་གླིང་དགོན near Rabong towards the east, Rinchenpung Goen རིན་ཆེན་སྤུང་དགོན at Rinchenpong towards the south, Peling པད་གླིང (towards Sangchoe, now completely destroyed) at the west and Drakthog Kathog Goen ཀ་ཐོག་དགོན་, ཡུག་བསམ་ བྲག་མཐོ (at Draktho Yuksam) towards the north which are founded or visited and blessed by the four principal Toertens viz.
Dorjelingpa 1346 -1405 རྡོ་རྗེ་གླིང་པ (VAJRA), Ratnalingpa 1403 - 1478 རཏྣ་གླིང་པ (RATNA), Pemalingpa 1450 - 1521 པདྨ་གླིང་པ (PEMA) and
Karmalingpa 1326 - 1386 ཀརྨ་གླིང་པ (KARMA) respectively with Pemayangtse as Ogyenling ཨོ་རྒྱན་གླིང (BUDDHA) at the centre that was blessed by Mahaguru Himself.
This completes the full cycle of five wisdom elements of "Buddha Vajra Ratna Pema Karma" having have deeply rooted their sacred transmissions in various forms as dharma treasure in Denjong.
