The Menri Monastery-Solan
Menri (Medicine Mountain) Monastery is in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. It has become a bustling religious learning and ritual activity hub. Until 1998, Menri was a basic facility with a few simple adobe and stone buildings. The main temple characterizes Tibetan religious edifices. Its Tibetan-style buildings house a library, the Bon Dialectic school, a Tibetan medical university, and the Redna Menling Nunnery.
The Abbot of Menri Monastery is Gyalwa Menri Trizin– the titular head of all Bonpo. Abbot delegates tasks to his circle of leading monks. These monks hold the Doctor of Divinity or Geshe degree. They take part in religious ceremonies, supervising educational and construction projects.
Some people believe that Tibet is synonymous with Buddhism—not realizing that it is home to another world’s great religions. Bon has preserved various ancient cultural traditions. It preserves the doctrinal traditions and ecclesiastic structures of Tibetan Buddhism.
