About Namkha Khyung Dzong Monastery

A Brief History of Namkha Khyung Dzong

Namkha Khyung Dzong Monastery follows the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. In particular, it upholds the teachings of Namkha Khyung Dzong, a sub-tradition of the Dudjom Tersar that began with Degyal Rinpoche (Pema Dechen Gyalpo), one of the thirteen principal disciples of Dudjom Lingpa (1835-1904). Namkha Khyung Dzong takes its name from the Dharma encampment established by Degyal Rinpoche near Mount Kailash in West Tibet.
