Nechung Chogyang is a title, the 'Religious Protector of Nechung (small place)' Monastery. His proper name is Dorje Dragden. In English, he is commonly referred to as the Nechung Oracle. Dorje Dragden is the chief minister in the retinue of Pehar Gyalpo, a worldly deity (god or spirit) appointed as the protector of Buddhism. According to legend, Pehar, originally from the northwestern region of Bata Hor, was subjugated by Padmasambhava in the 8th century. The official Nechung Monastery is located just below the large Drepung Monastery on the west side of Lhasa, Tibet, China. Nechung Chogyong is the principal oracle for the Ganden Podrang government and the Dalai Lamas since the time of the Great 5th Dalai Lama, Ngagwang Lobzang Gyatso (1617-1682).
