The Monastery of Shechen

The Monastery of Shechen, located in Nepal, is a prominent Tibetan Buddhist monastery founded in the 18th century by the Shechen Rabjam lineage. It serves as a spiritual center for meditation, study, and preserving Tibetan Buddhist teachings and traditions. The monastery also plays a significant role in cultural preservation, including art, philosophy, and religious practices. After being damaged in Nepal's 2015 earthquake, it has undergone reconstruction efforts to restore its historical and spiritual significance. Shechen Monastery continues to be a vital hub for practitioners and scholars, fostering spiritual growth and the continuity of Tibetan Buddhist heritage.
