Menri

     The first Bon monastery to be established in Tibet, Yeru Ensa, founded in near the end of the 11th century by Druchen Yundrung, was destroyed by flood in 1386. Nineteen years later Menri was built high above the valley floor by Sherab Gyeltsen. The abbot of Menri today, Tsultrim Nyima Tash returned to Tibet in the mid-1980s to rebuild the monastery. The 32nd head of the monastery, Lungtok Tenpai Nyima lives in the relocated Menri, in Solan , Himachal Pradesh, in northern India.
