About Nyagye Nunnery Tibet

Nyagye Nunnery was established in 1458 by Hor Choegye Ngawang Phuntsok who was a great master of the day. It is in Eastern Tibet, near Dhargye Gompa, which is Khensur Rinpoches first Monastery. The nunnery continued until 1952 and then due to the invasion by communist Chinese and the cultural revolution it was destroyed for 36 years. In 1984 it was again rebuilt and re established and a nun called Sechoe and her family ran it until 2000. Then Nyagye Rinpoche (Nyagye Losang Palden) took over, and continued to further develop it. Presently there are 68 nuns, and everything is supplied by their families. The nunnery cannot provide anything for them.

During a recent visit, Nyagye Rinpoche requested Khensur Rinpoche’s attendant, Nawang Thupten (Tenzin) for urgent help.
