'''Do-drul Chorten''' is a [[stupa]] in [[Gangtok]] in the [[India]]n state of [[Sikkim]]. The stupa was built by [[Trulshik Rinpoche]], head of the [[Nyingma]] order of [[Tibetan Buddhism]] in 1945. Inside this stupa is a complete set of Dorjee Phurba, [[Kangyur]] (Holy Books) and other religious objects. Around the stupa are 108 Mani Lhakor or [[prayer wheels]]. The stupa is surrounded by Chorten Lakahang and Guru Lakhang, where two statues of [[Guru Rinpoche]] are present.<br />
<br />
Next to the Chorten is a monastery for young Lamas with a shrine containing huge images of [[Padmasambhava]] and his manifestation, Guru Snang – Sid Zilzon. It is located about 500 meters above the [[Namgyal Institute of Tibetology]].<br />
