Kagyu Thubten Choling Monastery: Enlightenment Stupa
法林寺
美國紐約州瓦平格瀑布鎮
譯名為Kagyu Thubten Choling Monastery，意為佛法之地。位於美國紐約州瓦平格瀑布鎮（Wappingers Falls），為藏傳噶舉派的修行閉關中心。一九七九年由諾那仁波切（nor lha rin po che）創建。
該寺占地面積7公頃，地形為一小山丘，俯瞰哈德遜河。主要建築以正覺塔為主，為紀念一世卡盧仁波切噶瑪讓炯昆恰（ka lu rin po che karma ran byung kun khyab）而建。塔身、塔頂皆以鎏金塗繪；剎座仿照尼泊爾博拿佛塔（Boudhanath Stupa），繪有佛眼。塔內供奉銅鑄釋迦牟尼佛及藏文《甘珠爾》、《丹珠爾》，四周刻有度母咒文。此塔工程精緻，工期歷經六年，寺內修行人皆以繞塔經行為其早晚功課。
