Palyul (དཔལ་ཡུལ་དགོན།) is one of the six great “mother monasteries” following the Nyingma School, or Ancient Translation Tradition, of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery was founded in 1665 in the Kham province of eastern Tibet (present-day Baiyu, Sichuan, China) by Kunzang Sherab, the First Palyul Throne Holder.

In time, Penor Rinpoche would become the Eleventh Throneholder of Palyul Monastery with its more than four hundred branch monasteries. He spent many years at Palyul, studying and receiving teachings from numerous masters and scholars.

Are the pearls of the throne-holders of Palyul monastery, which form a glorious rosary of an unbroken lineage, ornamenting and beautifying the enlightened tradition.
