Palyul, Buddhist monastery in Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, China
Palyul Monastery occupies a mountain location at an elevation of 4000 meters, featuring traditional Tibetan architectural elements with white walls and golden roofs.
The monastery, founded in 1665 by Rigzin Kunzang Sherab, became one of the six principal institutions of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
The monastery functions as a center for Nam Chö Terma teachings, preserving ancient scriptures and conducting regular ceremonies for the local Tibetan population.
Visitors need permits to access the monastery, and transportation requires careful planning due to the remote location and limited infrastructure in the region.
The monastery maintains a collection of wooden printing blocks used for reproducing Buddhist texts according to centuries-old techniques passed through generations.
