Triten Norbutse, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Ü-Tsang, China

The monastery contains meditation halls, a library of canonical texts, prayer wheels, and accommodations for over 200 resident monks and students.

Bönpo Master Shen Nyima Gyaltsen established the original Triten Norbutse monastery in the 14th century before its destruction during the Cultural Revolution.

Monks at Triten Norbutse study traditional Buddhist teachings, participate in meditation training programs, and pursue academic degrees in religious studies.

The monastery provides free accommodation, food, study materials, and medical care to both Nepalese monks and Tibetan refugees pursuing their education.

The institution maintains a specialized herbal medical school that serves local populations and grants degrees to students in traditional healing practices.
