'''Bhutia Busty monastery''' or '''Karma Dorjee Chyoling monastery''' is a [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] monastery located in [[Bhutia Busty]], [[Darjeeling district]], [[India]]. It belongs to the Red Sect of Buddhist [[Lama]]s. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Originally a branch of the [[Kagyupa]] sect's Phodang Monastery in Sikkim, it was transferred to Darjeeling in 1879. The original location was on the [[Observatory Hill, Darjeeling|Observatory Hill]]. The monastic practice was violently interrupted around 1788, when Nepali troops overran the land, destroyed the monastery and converted Dotsug into a place of worship dedicated to [[Mahakal Temple (Darjeeling)|Mahakala]]. The foreign troops were driven out by the [[British East India Company]] during the [[Anglo-Nepalese War]] and the territory was returned to the [[Chogyal]] of Sikkim in 1817. In the 1860s the monastery was relocated to its present location in Bhutia Busty. However, the monastery in the new location was also destroyed by an earthquake in 1934. The [[Chogyal]] of [[Sikkim]] helped rebuild it. The monastery has a collection of old Buddhist scripts.<br />
One of the original pieces of the "Book of Dead" is its prized possession.<br />
