Dzogchen Monastery, Buddhist temple in Dêgê, China
The Dzogchen Monastery stands at an elevation of 10,000 feet in northern Dêgê, featuring multiple prayer halls and meditation spaces within its grounds.
Established in 1685 by Pema Rigdzin, the monastery endured an earthquake in 1842 and underwent reconstruction to become the largest institution of the Nyingma tradition.
The monastery maintains the Sri Singha Shedra education center and functions as the main repository for the Konchok Chidu cycle of Northern Treasure texts.
The monastery currently houses 300 registered monks and includes educational facilities, meditation caves, and accommodation areas for visiting practitioners.
Thirteen retreat centers and 280 branch locations spread across the region demonstrate the monastery's influence on Buddhist education in Tibet.
