Benchen Monastery is the name of two Buddhist temples. The original Benchen Monastery in Tibet was destroyed by the Chinese Army in 1959. It later began to be reconstructed by the surviving sangha in the 1980s.[1] The second Benchen monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal was constructed under the direction of two exiled Tulkus from the original monastery.[2]
