Palpung Monastery

Palpung Monastery, in the Derge area of Kham (eastern Tibet, now in Sichuan, China), is the seat of the Tai Situ lineage of the Karma Kagyu school. It was the home base of the nineteenth-century polymath Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Tayé, who established his Tsadra retreat centre nearby and was a leading figure of the non-sectarian (Rimé) movement.
