The Menri Monastery
The importance of the preservation of philosophical study and discourse remains in the monastic education system. This architecture insures that written and oral instructions are perpetuated for future generations and insures the continuation of traditional values. This example is best exemplified with Menri Monastery (Medicine Hill) which has been the center of the Bon Tradition since 1405AD. Its roots reach back to 1196BC, when the esteemed Tagzig Bon Master and Khenpo, Zu Trul Yeshe created the monastic system in Zhang Zhung; which eventually spread into Tibet when Zu Trul Yeshe brought 500 relics of Tonpa Shenrab to Tibet.
