SHECHEN MONASTERY - NEPAL
One the six main Nyingma monasteries of Tibet, was destroyed in the late 1950’s during the Chinese
occupation of Tibet. In exile, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910 - 1991) began building
Shechen Tennyi Dargye Ling Monastery (1980) in the Kathmandu
Valley near the great stupa of Bodhnath.
For almost ten years, master craftsmen, stonemasons, sculptors, painters, goldsmiths and master
tailors worked to make the Monastery one of the most beautiful examples of Tibetan art outside Tibet.
