Rigyel Gon Triten Norbutse, a Bon monastery in the Tibetan Autonomous Region, was founded in 1360 by Mushen Nyima Gyeltsen as a family monastery for the Shen clan. Though badly damaged during the cultural revolution, reconstruction began in 1982 and as of 2011 there were 20 monks living at Rigyel Gon.
