Dzogchen Monastery is a background trait in the Redacted Remilio Babies NFT collection, depicting Dzogchen Monastery — one of the six principal monasteries of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, located in the Rudam Valley of Kham in what is now Dêgê County, Sichuan, China.
Background
Dzogchen Monastery was founded in 1684 by Pema Rigdzin, the first Dzogchen Rinpoche, at the direction of the Fifth Dalai Lama, who sent him to establish a center of Nyingma teaching in the Kham region of eastern Tibet.[1] The monastery takes its name from Dzogchen (རྫོགས་ཆེན), meaning "Great Perfection" — the highest teaching in the Nyingma tradition, concerned with the recognition of the mind's primordial nature. It grew into one of the largest Nyingma institutions in Tibet, housing up to 500 monks and 280 branch monasteries across Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan, before being destroyed by Chinese forces in 1959. It was rebuilt in South India from 1985 under the direction of the 14th Dalai Lama, and reconstruction of the original Kham site has also taken place since the 1980s.[2]
