Traditionally speaking, it will open when the time comes for Dharmapala Dorje Shugden to take over from Nechung as the 'chief Dharmapala of Tibet'. This is most interesting. We are reminded of the 'unlikely partnership' of these two Dharma Protectors in spreading the Buddhadharma.Nechung was the Protector who had 'extracted' a promise from Lord Duldzin Drakpa Gyeltsen to protect, at all cost, the teachings of Je Tsongkhapa, especially his teachings on Nargajuna's Middle View which he had taught with unexcelled clarity. Nechung was also the one who came to Tulku Drakpa Gyelsen later and asked that he fulfil the promise, which Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen subsequently did,by arising as tha wrathful Dharmapala Dorje Shugden(with much help from Nechung who 'engineered' the circumstances). So now we come to this age and time where Nechung has initiated a 'hate' Dorje Shugden campaign and Dorje Shugden practice is flourishing! An unlikely,yet substantially great partnership to spread the Dharma everywhere beyond Tibet! The southern gate of this Nechung temple remains close.
