Daklagampo in Tibetan Texts Worksite

Alison Melnick March 2007

According to Snellgrove, Daklagampo (dags lha sgam po?) is a monastery founded by Gampopa, Milarepa's direct lineal successor (Snellgrove, pg. 136). Mention of Daklagampo occurs in three places in the Blue Annals. However, these are mostly peripheral mentions of the place and are not central to the subject at hand. The only significant mention of the monastery in the Blue Annals is on pg. 719, where a sacrifice is performed for a local deity that results in a tresure revelation.
