Benchen Publications

Benchen Phuntsok Dargyeling Monastery in Ga Kyegudo in eastern Tibet, was founded by the first Sangye Nyenpa, Tashi Paljor, and is renowned as the principal seat of the Sangye Nyenpa tulkus. At the second seat, Benchen Monastery in Nepal, two publishing houses were established: Lekshe Gyunkyong Khang and Sungrab Gyunpel Khang, which serve to preserve the teachings of both Kyabje Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche, as well as other rare practice texts.
