Nyame Sherab Gyaltsen (1356–1415) founded in 1405 the monastery of Tashi Menri, which became the mother monastery of the whole Bön tradition and whose abbot is its spiritual head. He established the curriculum Bönpo monks still follow today. On 11 February, Shenten commemorates the anniversary of his birth, on site and online.
On 11 February the Shenten community commemorates the anniversary of the birth of Nyame Sherab Gyaltsen (1356–1415), founder of Menri Monastery.
Born in Gyalmorong, he became a monk at about the age of ten and received full ordination at thirty-one. He studied at Yeru Wensakha, then the great seat of Bön learning in Tsang, where the renown of his knowledge led to his being offered an abbot’s throne. Yeru Wensakha was destroyed by floods.
In 1405, at the age of fifty, he founded Tashi Menri to replace it. Menri became the mother monastery of the whole Bön tradition, and its abbot — the Menri Trizin — is recognised as its spiritual head. The curriculum Nyame Sherab Gyaltsen established there is the one Bönpo monks still follow today.
His name, Nyame, means “without equal”.
