Benchen Phuntsok Dhargyeling Monastery was founded in the 17th century in upper Do Kham region of eastern Tibet by Sangye Nyenpa Tulku IV Gelek Gyatso. In exile, in 1986, the powerful Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche constructed a new temple complex with sacred structures at the site near Swayambhunath in Nepal.

Regarding education, in the monastic college, they study and recite the tantras from both kama and terma traditions of the Nyingma and other schools. They also learn dance, geometry, and music; torma making and ritual arrangement; and the practices of generation and completion stages. In addition to these, they engage in study and contemplation of the major texts according to their individual capacities. Furthermore, each year from the first lunar month's prayer festival, they perform various ritual practices based on either painted or sand mandalas from the different tantra classes. In the retreat center, they practice the Six Yogas of Naropa as the path of methods and Mahamudra as the path of liberation, along with the generation and completion stages and retreat practices of the Three Roots deities for a period of three years and three months, starting with the Mahamudra preliminaries. In the debate college, they primarily study the eight major texts of sutra and tantra of their own tradition, as well as grammar, poetics, and historical works such as chronicles and histories of Buddhism. Similarly, the Sangha collectively practices the three foundations of Vinaya according to the teachings of the Buddha. Additionally, they perform the great tenth-day ritual dance based on Guru Chöwang's practice of Guru Sangdus. The Chokling tradition's ritual dance and four-activity fire offering during the major Phurpa retreat are also alternately practiced. From the unique traditions of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage, they perform the seven-day practice and ritual dance of the Glorious Wisdom Protector, along with the torma offering and four-activity fire offering. Currently, under the leadership of the powerful adept Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and Kyabje Tenda Chungsi Rinpoche, there are approximately 456 monks residing in the monastery.
