Menri Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Tobgyai, China.
Four colleges form the monastery complex at an altitude of 3800 meters, with temples, meditation halls, and residential buildings for 400 monks.
Nyamme Sherab Gyaltsen founded the monastery in 1405 after a flood destroyed the original Yeru Ensaka Monastery established in 1072.
Menri Monastery maintains the teachings of Bon Buddhism through structured education programs, including sutra, tantra, and dzogchen studies.
The monastery contains multiple prayer halls, living quarters, meditation spaces, and educational facilities spread across the mountain slope.
The mountain behind the monastery displays a natural formation that appears as a white silk curtain against the landscape.
