The Ngagyur Nyingma Nunnery Institute (Tibetan: སྔ་འགྱུར་མཐོ་སློབ་མཚོ་རྒྱལ་བཤད་སྒྲུབ་ཐོས་བསམ་དགའ་བའི་ཚལ།) was founded by Penor Rinpoche in 1995. Buddhist nuns there study a nine-year course on sutra and tantra along with poetry, grammar, composition and so on, a syllabus virtually identical to that of Ngagyur Nyingma Institute. In 2002, the institute began sending teachers to teach in other nunneries including to India, Bhutan, and Nepal.
