It was founded in 1685 by HE Dzogchen Pema Rinzin (the first Dzogchen Rinpoche) who was the most outstanding Dzogchen master of his time and meditation teacher to His Holiness the Great Fifth Dalai Lama. Having received all the Dzogchen teachings, His Holiness instructed Pema Rinzin to travel to the Kham region of Eastern Tibet and found a monastery, so that the teachings might prosper.
