Sera Mey Monastery · Karnataka, India
A home for Gyalrong College
A new 65-room residence will provide dignified housing for more than 100 monks undertaking years of advanced study at one of Tibetan Buddhism's great monastic universities.
Protecting the conditions advanced study requires
Sera Monastery was established in 1419 and is one of the three great monastic universities of the Gelugpa tradition. Now located in Karnataka, India, it is home to more than 5,000 monks. An influx of students has pushed Gyalrong College's existing housing beyond capacity.
The new Gyalrong House is designed to hold 65 rooms and serve more than 100 monks. Ten apartments have already been completed through collective generosity. Each additional room is a long-term investment in the daily conditions—safety, stability, rest, and community—that allow demanding philosophical study to continue.
100+ monks
The project will support a community pursuing advanced study, debate, ethics, and contemplative training.
