Shechen Gompa

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:41:08

This huge complex was established by the famous Nyingmapa lama Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche to replace the destroyed Shechen Gompa in eastern Tibet. Today, the monastery has a thriving community of over 300 monks and the main prayer hall features fabulous murals by artists from Bhutan. The main prayer hall was damaged by the earthquake but repairs are underway. Find it to the west of the stupa, behind a metal gate down the alley leading to the Dragon Guest House.
