    Tips

    April 1, 2023

    The monastery serves as the main seat of the Shechen tradition in exile. There are more than 300 monks at Shechen Monastery. The monastery teaches music, dance, painting and Buddhist philosophy. Its elementary school provides "a modern education for children between five and fourteen years of age."[5]

    The present abbot is the seventh Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, the grandson of Dilgo Khyentse. Prominent members of the monastery include the Yangsi (Tib.ཡང་སྲིད reincarnation) of Dilgo Khyentse, Khandro Lhamo, Matthieu Ricard and Changling Rinpoche.

      Shechen Monks are dedicated to the flourishing of the spiritual and cultural activities of Tibetan Buddhism and the realization of the vision and projects of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
