Nyame Sherab Gyaltsen (mNyan-med shes-rab rgyal-mtshan; 1356-1415) was a native of Gyalrong, Tibet and one of most important Bon masters. He founded Menri (sMan-ri) Monastery in southern Tibet in 1405 AD. As the first Abbot of Menri, he worked hard to perfect the tenets of monastic law and ritual still followed by Bön monasteries of today. The original Menri was destroyed in conflict in 1959, but the Menri lineage is carried on today at the Menri Monastery in northern India. This monastery is the seat of all Bon religion and is headed by His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, the current lineage holder and 33rd Abbot of Menri.
