Remember to visit the Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Memorial Stupa at the 3rd floor from main puja hall's backside door.

Shechen Monastery, one the six main Nyingma monasteries of Tibet, was destroyed in the late 1950’s. In exile, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche transplanted the rich tradition of the original Shechen Monastery to a new home — a magnificent monastery near the great Stupa of Bodhnath, Nepal. It was his wish that this monastery would maintain the philosophical, contemplative, and artistic traditions of the mother monastery. I have visited many times in this monestry and feel so good from the activities of this monestry as students(monks) from the himalays,painting,dancing,music classes throughout the year...and participating enrollment of the different social works like social welfare and more.

It was indeed humbly to have visited the monastry. We donated 80sets of toothpaste,brush and face towel to the monks. Head monk thanked us and even took down our contact so that they could take photo of the distribution of item during aupisicious date. We were brought around to see the huge and magnificent statues and even have a chance to see the kudung of dilgo khyentse rinpoche. Got some blessed prayer pills from ever compassionate monk there. Peaceful and highly charged monastry.strongly recommend to those seeking the path.Om Mani padme hum.

非常好。The Shechen Monastery is one of the six primary, or "mother," monasteries of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, in Tibet and Nepal. It is located in Derge between Nangdo and Dzogchen Monastery.

A great place to visit and spend the day short hike from the ring road Hope you enjoy the place

Fabulous views of the stupa. On the middle floor you can burn insence and get blessed for a small offering. Remember to remove your shoes!

Very peaceful area of Kathmandu. I stayed in the shenchen guest house at the monastery and it was very peaceful, away from the business of the city. The food is incredible, I loved the salad I had there. Monks are kind and generous to share information . Really cool to watch the pujas and practices, i will never forget my time here!

Beautiful building and a nice space... So interesting to see the monks hanging out: constantly eating, watching television and on the phone.

Very nice and peacefully place and we can see Buddhist lifestyle

One of the six main Nyingma monasteries of Tibet, magnificent monastery near the great Stupa of Bodhnath

It is a beautiful Monastery with some nice stupas and small halls for prayer wheels. Today is 12/29/2023 and the main hall with the large Buddha is under renovation, so if you visit be aware there is a lot of scaffolding inside being taken down as well as some untidiness
